Clean the Countries Tier Lists
Two boards: what to buy, and which countries steal your clock.
A tier list for Clean the Countries is not an anime power ranking. There are no secret S-tier swords. There are tools that shorten walks and countries that hide under other countries. This hub splits those boards so a Shop tab and a geography problem do not share one messy table.
The two child lists
- Tools tier list — grab, carry, clean speed, special (G), pets, cosmetics. Spend Cash here after a FILL pass, not during it.
- Countries tier list — giants you should grab first, lookalikes that fool colour-sorters, and crumbs that fail FILL 2.
- Pets tier list — Cash pets versus Robot Vacuum gamepasses.
Read tools if you are staring at Upgrade (T / Y). Read countries if you keep “clearing” a floor that still has a quota. Both assume you know the How to Play loop.
How we rank
Ranks are speed toward FILL complete, not how pretty the pet is.
- S — changes every run (extra carry, giant silhouettes that uncover crumbs).
- A — strong but replaceable (grab range, clean speed after the floor is empty of pieces).
- B — fine once the loop is stable (pets that auto-mop specks).
- C — optional (trails, name tags).
- D — actively wastes timer if you open them mid-quota (cosmetic Shop, unverified code menus).
We do not invent item names Karpath has not shown. Live HUD labels are Shop, Upgrade, Inventory, Pets, Cash, and FILL COUNTRIES. When a patch names a washer, this hub will use that name. Until then, we rank the slot.
Confidence is medium. The place launched 24 August 2026. Official binds are solid. Shop row names will move. Recheck launch notes after updates.
What a bad tier list looks like
Other “Clean the …” games have rakes, blowers, blood money, stickers. Copying those boards onto this wiki would be fiction. Clean the Countries is a scavenger hunt with country silhouettes and continent signs. If a YouTube thumbnail shows a pressure washer and a suburban lawn, it is the wrong game.
How to use the lists in a session
- Spawn and read FILL quotas (Getting Started).
- Grab S-tier countries first (the giants).
- After Cash comes in, buy S-tier tools only.
- Assign aisles if you are in online co-op (players).
- Mop last (How to Clean Faster).
If your rank disagreement is “pets are S for me”, that is a live account with luck. The public board stays conservative so a new player does not dump Cash into a follower that does not carry Brazil.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
Which tier list should I open first?
Will these ranks change?
Yes. Karpath is actively updating the place. We will restamp after patches listed on updates.
Why are cosmetics ranked D?
They do not park countries. FILL timers do not care about trails. Buy them after a clean quota.
Is this copied from Clean the Library?
No. Library ranks books and abilities. This game ranks silhouettes and tidy-up slots that Karpath actually shipped.
