|name image = [[File:Floor Hygienator.png]]

The '''Floor Hygienator''' is a newan object in ''[[The Sims 3: Ambitions]]''. They can be built by Sims[[Sim]]s in who have the [[Inventing]] [[skill]], and will often be the first of the Big Inventions to be created. They can sometimes be found for sale at the [[Consignment store]].

These objects must be placed on the floor, and when Sims step over it a burst of mist is ejected. This mist replenishes some of the Sim's hygiene,. itIt then waits 7 seconds before ejecting another mist. It comes in three selectable scents, each of which has a unique color:

*'''Scientific ResearcherRefresher (Blue)'''

The Floor Hygienator can be carried around in a Sim's [[Inventory#The Sims 3|inventory]] and placed almost anywhere, including under objects, under carpets and on community lots. It is recommended to place Floor Hygienators in places that Sims cross often or spend a lot of time in. However, there is a certain risk in this as Floor Hygienators that are not ofcreated by Sims with the Masterful"Master Inventor" Skill Challenge levelcompleted can backfire and make Sims nauseous, causing them to vomit, as well as noticeably lowering their Hygiene.

*Some Sims with certain [[Trait (The Sims 3)|Traits]]s get a bonus moodlet; for example, those with the [[Genius (The Sims 3)|Genius]] trait get the Fascinated moodlet. On the other hand, there are also [[Trait]]sTraits that produce negative reactions to Floor Hygienators; for example, [[Neurotic]] Sims get a Scared moodlet from them. Additionally, Sims with certain Traits may also get additional positive or negative moodlets depending on the scent selected.

*MasterfulMaster Floor Hygienators, created by Inventors who have completed the "Master Inventor" [[Skill]] Challenge, are incredibly useful to Sims training on exercise machines or breaking boards, as having two to three Floor Hygienators under them can completely offset the Hygiene drain that naturally results from participating in those activities, with no fear of backfiring.

*Placing a Floor Hygienator or two near a crib will give the baby/toddler in that crib a moodlet everytime someone else walks over it which is handy for keeping their moods up.
