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.
Cash Cleaner Simulator features distinct areas with increasing difficulty. This guide covers every major location in progression order: what to do, what to get, and when to move on. For the step-by-step path, see our walkthrough.
Area Progression Order
| Order | Location | Difficulty | Key Rewards | Recommended Build |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Intake Area | Every job starts here | Contract contents, the occasional hidden item worth scanning for | Cleaner |
| 2 | Washing Station | Early game onward | Clean notes, the throughput bottleneck that gates job volume | Cleaner |
| 3 | Drying Station | Early game onward | Countable dry notes, shorter cycle times when placed correctly | Inspector |
| 4 | Counting Bench | Mid game onward | Verified totals, counterfeit rejection on the L and XXL counters | Inspector |
| 5 | Shipping Conveyor | Every job ends here | Cryptocurrency payout, contract completion, new job unlocks | Inspector |
Intake Area: Starting Area
Where deliveries land in bags, boxes and mattresses, sometimes alongside gold and antiques. Prepackaged bricks need cutting open with the Stylish Steel Knife before anything else can happen to them.
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Difficulty | Every job starts here |
| Key Rewards | Contract contents, the occasional hidden item worth scanning for |
| Recommended Build | Cleaner |
| Key Equipment | Washing Machine |
What to Do Here
- Learn the basics of Physics driven cash piles. This is where you practice without heavy punishment.
- Collect starting resources and your first equipment upgrade.
- Clear all main content before moving to Washing Station.
- If you're struggling, read our beginner's guide.
Washing Station: Early Game
The washer and its immediate bench space. Batch size is limited, so this is normally the first station you duplicate once cryptocurrency allows it.
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Difficulty | Early game onward |
| Key Rewards | Clean notes, the throughput bottleneck that gates job volume |
| Recommended Build | Cleaner |
| Key Equipment | Washing Machine |
What to Do Here
- Focus on mastering UV lamp counterfeit detection. It's critical from this point on.
- Farm for Washing Machine if you don't have it yet.
- Complete all objectives for maximum rewards.
- Prepare for the difficulty spike in Drying Station.
Drying Station: Mid Game
Directly downstream from the washer and non negotiable, since wet money cannot proceed. Placing it adjacent to the washer removes the longest walk in the workflow.
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Difficulty | Early game onward |
| Key Rewards | Countable dry notes, shorter cycle times when placed correctly |
| Recommended Build | Inspector |
| Key Equipment | Washing Machine |
What to Do Here
- This is the main skill check. Bring an optimized build.
- UV Lamp becomes accessible here. Prioritize getting it.
- Master Wash and dry cleaning line for the boss encounters.
- Check our boss guide if you get stuck.
Counting Bench: Late Game
Where the counter and UV lamp live. Keeping one denomination per stack matters because the counter handles up to 100 bills at a time, so mixed stacks produce confusing totals.
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Difficulty | Mid game onward |
| Key Rewards | Verified totals, counterfeit rejection on the L and XXL counters |
| Recommended Build | Inspector |
| Key Equipment | UV Lamp |
What to Do Here
- Full build optimization is expected by this point.
- UV Lamp should be your primary, fully upgraded.
- Crypto funded equipment upgrades mastery starts mattering here.
- Farm resources for the push into Shipping Conveyor.
Shipping Conveyor: Endgame
The final station where packed cash leaves for the handler. Getting a contract wrong here means the whole batch comes back, so verify the job's specification on the phone first.
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Difficulty | Every job ends here |
| Key Rewards | Cryptocurrency payout, contract completion, new job unlocks |
| Recommended Build | Inspector |
| Key Equipment | UV Lamp |
What to Do Here
- This is endgame. Best-in-slot gear and a perfected build are mandatory.
- See our boss guide for endgame fight strategies.
- The reward loop: clear content → upgrade → push harder content.
- Experiment with Packer for variety once you've mastered the meta.
Exploration Tips
- Clear areas in order: Intake Area → Washing Station → Drying Station → Counting Bench → Shipping Conveyor. Skipping areas means missing resources you'll need later.
- Check every corner: Hidden caches and secrets are often in non-obvious locations.
- Match your equipment: Some areas favor different equipment types.
- Read the walkthrough: Our walkthrough provides exact progression milestones for each area.
- Don't rush: Clearing an area fully gives more resources than speedrunning two areas.
