Mind Control Games released Cash Cleaner Simulator on 8 May 2025 through Forklift Interactive. Dirty cash arrives in bags, boxes and mattresses, and your job is to check it, wash it, dry it, count it, box it and ship it back to your handlers. Jobs, tool orders and an AR placement mode all run through a darknet phone, and payment comes back in cryptocurrency.
Resource management and crafting determine how quickly your power scales. This guide covers what to prioritize, where to farm, and how to avoid wasting resources on the wrong upgrades.
Crafting Priority List
The order you should invest resources:
| Priority | Target | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Primary equipment | Biggest damage increase per resource spent |
| 2 | Core build gear | Enables your build's key combinations |
| 3 | Defensive upgrades | Survivability for boss fights |
| 4 | Secondary equipment | Situational options for specific content |
| 5 | Consumables | Temporary boosts for hard content |
Resource Farming by Area
Intake Area

Washing Station
Key resources: Clean notes, the throughput bottleneck that gates job volume Farming efficiency: Good early-game farming spot
Focus on gathering materials for Washing Machine upgrades here. See our maps guide for detailed area layouts.
Drying Station
Key resources: Countable dry notes, shorter cycle times when placed correctly Farming efficiency: Best mid-game farming, worth revisiting
Focus on gathering materials for Washing Machine upgrades here. See our maps guide for detailed area layouts.

Upgrade Path
Early Game (Intake Area to Washing Station)
- Upgrade your starting equipment to functional level
- Craft basic defensive gear
- Save specialty materials, since you'll need them later
- Focus on Washing Machine once accessible
Mid Game (Drying Station)
- Push Washing Machine to mid-level upgrades
- Start collecting materials for UV Lamp
- Craft situational consumables for boss fights
- Upgrade build-specific gear pieces
Late Game (Counting Bench to Shipping Conveyor)
Crafting Mistakes to Avoid
- Spreading upgrades across multiple equipment: Focus one weapon to max before diversifying.
- Hoarding materials: Use them. The game provides enough if you farm efficiently.
- Upgrading the wrong gear: Check our builds guide before investing.
- Ignoring Drying Station farming: This area has the best resource-to-time ratio in mid-game.
- Crafting consumables too early: Save specialty materials for late-game recipes.
Resource Efficiency Tips
- Sweep every incoming batch with the UV lamp before it touches the washer. A washer cycle spent on counterfeits is time you never get back, and neither counterfeits nor marked bills can be cleaned at all.
- Farm Drying Station during mid-game for the best return on time
- Check the walkthrough to know when each resource becomes available
- Match your farming route to your build. Some classes farm faster in certain areas
