[[Cleanliness]] ~~represents~~ how clean or dirty the [[home]] and lot are for the [[~~family~~]] living there. If the level gets too low, it can affect [[relationships]] and make [[Zois]] [[hygiene|dirty faster]]. Letting a home go unmanaged will reduce cleanliness, so take care of your space.

[[Cleanliness]] refers to how [[clean]] or [[dirty]] the [[home]] and [[lot]] are for the [[Zois]] living there. Maintaining a clean home is important for a [[hygiene|Zoi's well-being]]. If the level gets too low, it can affect [[relationships]] and make [[Zois]] [[hygiene|dirty faster]]. Letting a home go unmanaged will reduce cleanliness, so take care of your space.

==Cleanliness Level==

==How to Clean (Quick Guide)==

[[File:cleanliness1.png|350px|right]]

Click on dirty [[floors]] or [[furniture]] to clean them and restore their shine. To clean, you will need a [[broom]] or a [[vacuum cleaner]]. Press the [[Build Mode]] button, go to [[Furniture]] - [[Bathroom]], and select the vacuum cleaner icon to purchase one. If a [[Zoi]]'s [[clothes]] get dirty, use a [[washing machine]] to do the [[laundry]].

~~Check~~ the cleanliness ~~level from~~ the [[Home Information]] screen or by selecting the [[house]] in [[Edit City]].

==Importance of Cleanliness==

Keeping the home clean is crucial for several reasons:

*'''Mood and Hygiene:''' A low cleanliness level negatively affects the [[mood]] of Zois and causes their [[Hygiene]] need to decrease faster. [[Dirty clothes]] specifically make a Zoi [[Uncomfortable]].

*'''Relationships:''' Poor home cleanliness can strain [[relationships]] between [[family members]]. Zois might avoid [[interacting]] with other Zois who are wearing dirty clothes.

==Checking Cleanliness Level==

[[File:cleanliness1.png|350px|right|Checking the Home Information screen for Cleanliness levels]]

You can monitor the cleanliness status in a few ways:

*'''Home Information Screen:''' Select the [[Home Information]] option on the right side of the screen or by selecting the [[house]] in [[Edit City]]. This displays a Cleanliness meter for the home and a counter for the number of [[Dirty Zois]] (Zois needing a [[bath]] or [[clean clothes]]).

*'''Visual Cues:''' A dirty home will become visually apparent. [[Furnishings]], [[floors]], and [[rugs]] will develop a marbled, dusty appearance.

==Cleaning the Home==

[[File:cleanliness2.png|350px|right|A Zoi using a vacuum cleaner to clean the floor.]]

Keeping the home tidy requires [[cleaning]] [[dirty surfaces]] and [[objects]]. [[Zois]] who clean their own [[home]] will increase their [[Housework]] [[skill]].

===Required Cleaning Items===

To clean the home, Zois need specific tools. These can be purchased in [[Build Mode]]:

#Click the [[Build Mode]] button (or [I] key).

#Select [[Furniture]].

#Go to the [[Bathroom]] tab.

#Scroll down or click the [[vacuum]] icon to find [[cleaning items]].

Available items include:

{| class="wikitable"

|+ Cleaning Items

|-

! Item !! Effect !! Skill Req. !! Price

|-

| [[Mop]] || Quick dirt removal. Can clean three times consecutively when commanded. || None || 15

|-

| [[Broom]] || Least efficient for heavy dirt. Appears to be used outside. Can clean three times consecutively when commanded. || None || 18

|-

| [[Cordless Vacuum Cleaner]] || Standard cleaning. Can clean five times consecutively when commanded. || None || 35

|-

| [[Premium Cordless Vacuum Cleaner]] || Cleans a larger area per action. Can clean five times consecutively when commanded. || [[Housework]] Level 3 || 450

|}

Place at least one [[cleaning item]] in the home for Zois to use. All items can be used repeatedly.

===Methods of Cleaning===

==~~How to Clean~~==

====Manual Cleaning (Clicking)====

~~[[File~~:~~cleanliness2.png|350px|right]]~~

You can direct a Zoi to clean specific spots:

Click on dirty [[floors]] or [[furniture]] to clean ~~them~~ and ~~restore their shine~~. To clean, ~~you~~ will need a [[~~broom~~]] ~~or a~~ [[~~vacuum cleaner~~]]. ~~Press~~ the [[~~Build Mode~~]] ~~button~~, ~~go to~~ [[~~Furniture~~]] - [[~~Bathroom~~]], ~~and select~~ the ~~vacuum~~ cleaner ~~icon to purchase one~~. If a [[Zoi]]'s [[clothes]] get dirty, ~~use~~ a [[washing machine]] to do the [[~~laundry~~]].

*Click on dirty [[floors]] or [[furniture]].

*If clicking the [[floor]], you can choose which available [[cleaning item]] to use.

*Cleaning a section of floor ('''Clean Here''') is often more efficient as it cleans surrounding [[furnishings]] simultaneously. Cleaning individual [[furniture]] pieces is less effective.

====Commanding a Zoi to Clean====

This is the most efficient way to clean larger areas:

*Select the Zoi and choose a cleaning action, or click directly on a [[cleaning item]] (like a [[mop]] or [[vacuum]]).

*Choose the option to clean multiple times (like '''Clean 3 times''' or '''Clean 5 times''', depending on the tool).

*The Zoi will automatically move around the home, cleaning dirty areas until the commanded number of actions is complete or the house is clean. You may need to repeat the command for very large or dirty homes.

====Hiring a Cleaner====

If Zois are too busy or you prefer professional help, you can hire a cleaner:

#Click the Zoi's [[Smartphone]].

#Go to [[Pocket Market]].

#Select the [[Home Services]] tab, then [[Cleaning]].

#Choose a service:

#*'''[[Spick-And-Span Cleaning]]:''' Costs 100 [[Meow]], stays for approximately one hour.

#*'''[[Good-As-New-Cleaning]]:''' Costs 500 [[Meow]], stays for approximately two hours.

#After purchasing, the [[cleaner]] will arrive shortly. You'll receive a notification.

#'''Important:''' You must click on the cleaner when they arrive and '''invite them in''' before they start working.

#Cleaners will clean [[floors]] and [[surfaces]], and also tidy up by putting away [[items]] like [[books]], throwing out [[trash]], and cleaning [[dirty dishes]].

==Cleaning Clothes (Laundry)==

[[File:inzoi_laundry_example.png|350px|right|A Zoi using a washing machine. (Placeholder - replace with actual image if available)]]

Zois' [[clothes]] get [[dirty]] over time and need washing. Wearing dirty clothes makes Zois [[Uncomfortable]] and can negatively impact [[social interactions]].

===Requirements===

A '''[[washing machine]]''' is required. Currently, there are no laundromat services available.

===Buying a Washing Machine===

#Enter [[Build Mode]].

#Select [[Furniture]], then [[Bathroom]].

#Select the washing machine icon.

#Choose a [[model]] (multiple options available, all perform the same function) and place it in a suitably spacious location in the home.

===How to Wash Clothes===

*'''Adults and Teens:''' Click on the [[washing machine]] and select ''''Wash Laundry''''. The Zoi will then use the machine.

*'''Children:''' Children cannot do laundry themselves. Select the child, click the washing machine, and choose ''''Ask them to do Laundry''''. Select an available family member currently at home from the menu. The chosen helper and the child will then do the laundry together.

===Automating Laundry===

You can encourage a Zoi to do laundry autonomously:

#Open the [[Zoi Card]].

#Go to '''Edit [[Preferences]]'''.

#Select '''[[Laundry]]''' as a [[preference]].
