Cleaner Company Guides & Walkthroughs
From first mop swing to ranked contracts — every Star Wiper tutorial lives here.
Welcome to the Cleaner Company guides hub. You are a Star Wiper: part janitor, part disaster responder, part accidental monster hunter. Wildflame Studio and Mythwright are shipping this sci-fi online co-op cleaning sim to Steam and the Epic Games Store in 2026, with a free Flying Canteen demo already live and a wrapped playtest that featured the Experimental Laboratory and Polar Facility. Solo play is fully supported; online co-op scales to four players. This hub is the map for every how-to on the wiki.
Start here
New to the hazmat suit? Read Getting Started first. It covers day-one goals, how physics-based mess actually works, when to mop versus vacuum, and how difficulty settings let you untoggle monsters for a calmer shift. Prefer a hands-on tour of the current free content? Jump to the Demo walkthrough for Flying Canteen room order, alien chickens, gore cleanup, and survival tips. Ready to stop creating more work than you erase? Study Physics cleaning tips for spill gravity, stacking trash, mop-versus-vacuum order, and co-op mess etiquette.
Planning a squad night? The Co-op guide explains role splits (mop, vacuum, powerwasher, guns), callouts that prevent double-messing the same hallway, and how party chaos—blackouts, spilled buckets, friendly fire stains—still counts toward your cleanup bill. Facing Parasites, Slimes, Screamers, or worse? Use Survive threats for engagement rules, when the flamethrower beats the mop, and why shooting first can create more work than it solves. Match the night’s vibe on Difficulty settings.
Locations and progression
Contracts span orbital restaurants, research labs, ice-planet stations, moon bases, and abandoned spacecraft. The Locations guide compares Flying Canteen (demo), Experimental Laboratory and Polar Facility (playtest), plus the kinds of hazards each biome throws at you—gravity quirks, toxic leaks, extreme cold, shattered containment. Climb ranks by finishing challenges that unlock gear and new levels; upgrade paths are covered alongside the Equipment tier list and the broader Tier list hub.
Tools, controls, and system checks
Before you invite three friends, skim the Tools hub, Controls, Cleaning equipment, and System requirements. Knowing bind layouts and which tool deletes which mess type cuts failed contracts. For patch history and what changed between playtest and demo, read the Updates hub, Demo & playtest notes, and Wishlist & demo. Official storefronts and community links live under Links and the Wiki links page.
How these guides are organized
Every guide aims for practical depth: objective order, tool priority, co-op callouts, and FAQ answers players actually search. Internal links use trailing slashes and stay locale-agnostic so language pages resolve correctly. We do not invent fake promo codes or Roblox content—Cleaner Company is a PC Steam/Epic title. When official details shift (new locations, renamed creatures, gear trees), we update facts across pages so walkthroughs stay aligned.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers for Star Wipers before the next contract.
Where should absolute beginners start?
Open Getting Started for controls mindset and first-hour goals, then the Demo walkthrough for a room-by-room Flying Canteen clear. Disable monsters in difficulty settings if you want a pure cleaning run.
Is Cleaner Company solo-friendly or co-op only?
Both. Online co-op supports up to four players, and single-player is explicitly supported—great for learning tools before inviting a squad.
What is the difference between the demo and the playtest?
The free demo focuses on the Flying Canteen orbital restaurant. The earlier playtest featured Experimental Laboratory and Polar Facility. Full release in 2026 expands the contract roster further.
Can I turn off monsters?
Yes. Difficulty settings let you untoggle monsters for a calmer cleaning session while still using the physics-based mop, vacuum, grinders, and powerwashers.
