How to keep your house clean in inZOI

The best way to keep your house clean is to instruct your Zoi to clean the whole place in one go. You can also click on individual messes but it’s not as effective.

To do this, make sure you have a cleaning tool (more on that below), then click on your Zoi, select Clean, and then tap Use Mop/Vacuum Cleaner/Broom (Clean X times), with X corresponding to the number of rooms in your home. Your Zoi will then go through every room in the house making sure it’s spick and span. If the house is particularly dirty, you may need to repeat these several times.

To clean, you’ll need cleaning equipment and tools. Most houses come with one, but you can always buy more in Build Mode by clicking on the icon in the bottom right. Head to the Furniture tab, then select Bathroom on the row below, and finally scroll down to the Vacuum Cleaner section to see your options. Here are all the cleaning tools available in inZOI:

ItemCost
Mop15 Meow
Broom18 Meow
Cordless Vacuum Cleaner35 Meow
Premium Vacuum Cleaner (unlock at level 3 Housework skill)450 Meow

The Mop is the worst of the bunch, while the Premium Vacuum Cleaner is the best in terms of how effective they are at cleaning. Spend the money on a vacuum cleaner as soon as you can to make cleaning a lot easier.

For an extra bit of cleanliness, you can also clean bathtubs if your home has any. Click on the bathtub and select Clean the Bathtub. Over time, you Zoi should increase their Housework skill, making them far more proficient at cleaning. This will mean a cleaner house but also less frequent cleaning.
