The game
Someone's got to clean the house!
The Grime's moved in and it's not leaving without a fight. Discover new grime, tools and friends as you work your way through the house one room and mess at a time.
Splash big
Four mop tiles in a square make a bucket. Push it onto grime to wash it clean, or swap two buckets together for a splash across a 6×6 square.
Multiply
Quick match for a multiplier, set off squeegees and bath bombs, and mix specials together for even bigger clears.
The house
Room by room
Start in the Bathroom, then the Kitchen, the Laundry Room and on through the house. Each room fights back in its own way, and a mini boss guards the exit.
