'''Cleaning''' is a chore throughout [[The Sims (series)|''The Sims'' series]], and is also featured as a [[skill]] in ''[[The Sims]]'' and ''[[The Sims 2]]''. Most objects, such as [[toilet]]s, [[stove]]s, and [[sink]]s, will get dirty over time and will eventually need to be cleaned. Puddles that are created by broken plumbing will need to be mopped. A higher cleaning skill allows Sims to clean objects and mop up puddles faster and more efficiently. Dirty objects and unmopped puddles will lower the [[environment]] score of the room{{Vgversion|TS1}}{{Vgversion|TS2}} and will cause negative [[moodlet]]s to appear.{{Vgversion|TS3}}{{Vgversion|TS4}} |

However, the skill doesn't appear in the skill panel, and cannot be changed or improved in-game without the use of hacked objects or third-party programs. |

In ''The Sims 2'', the cleaning skill can be improved by tidying up the messes which occur during daily life (for instance, washing counters, appliances, toilets, sinks, and mopping) or by reading a skill book. Sims can also gain cleaning skill points by using certain [[Career rewards#Prints Charming Fingerprint Scanner|career rewards]], or by filling in holes [[digging|dug up]] on the lot. A higher cleaning skill speeds up the cleaning process. |

The Prints Charming Fingerprint Scanner is the [[career reward]] unlocked when a Sim reaches level 6 of the [[law enforcement]] career. It is a pistol-sized gun that looks much like bar-code scanners used by employees in modern supermarkets. If a Sim scans an object that was used by someone recently, that Sim's fingerprints will show up and the Sim's picture will appear in a thought bubble above the Sim using the scanner. If no one has used the object recently, a question mark will appear in a thought bubble. The scanner has a skill gain rate of 250%, and has a [[fun]] rating of 4. |
