Games like PowerWash Simulator: 13 cleaning games to play next, from cozy to gory
PowerWash Simulator works because it turns a chore into something calm: one dirty object, the right tool, and a clean result you can see spreading across the surface. If you've washed every last speck in PowerWash Simulator and its sequel, here are 13 cleaning games like PowerWash Simulator to play next on PC — from cozy cleaning games to crime scenes, tidying puzzles and snow.
We checked every game against its Steam store page in November 2026: developer, release date, platforms and whether it has co-op. We left out prices, because they change with every sale. One game on the list is ours, and we say so.

The closest matches: pressure washing, cars and pools
These are the games that feel most like PowerWash Simulator: one dirty thing, real cleaning tools, and a job-by-job business around it.
PowerWash Simulator 2
- FuturLab
- Steam: Oct 2025
- Windows
- Single-player
- Online & split-screen co-op
If you finished the first game, start here. The sequel picks up where it left off: a new campaign in Muckingham, new grime-coated places like Sponge Valley, Power Falls and Lubri City, and a new kind of job — multi-stage jobs that open up more areas as you go, from vehicle interiors to whole extra rooms. There's new equipment for reaching higher and lower, and you can play it alone or with friends.
Car Detailing Simulator
- Games Incubator, GameFormatic
- Steam: Apr 2022
- Windows
- Single-player
The car cleaning game. You run a detailing business: wash, foam and polish paint with a set of specialist tools, take orders from picky customers, and buy run-down old cars to restore and sell. It leans towards realism, so the right tool for the job matters.
Pool Cleaning Simulator
- Rubens Games, FreeMind
- Steam: Jun 2024
- Windows
- Single-player
The store page literally calls it a PowerWash Simulator-esque cleaning game. You scrub, clean and maintain filthy pools — from backyard pools to community swimming complexes — with changing weather on top. If what you loved was turning one disgusting thing sparkling clean, this is the most direct swap on the list.
Fresh Start Cleaning Simulator
- Chicken Launcher / Awaken Realms
- Steam: Dec 2022
- Windows
- Single-player
A brighter, more playful take. Your tool is a vacuum cleaner and watering hose in one: you wash mud off the world, help animals, solve small puzzles and grow plants back. Collected rubbish is recycled into experience points for upgrades.
Cleaning games with a darker side
Same satisfying loop — dirty room in, clean room out — but the mess is blood, and someone else made it.
Viscera Cleanup Detail
- RuneStorm
- Steam: Oct 2015
- Windows, macOS
- Single-player
- Online, LAN & split-screen co-op
The original "clean up after someone else's disaster" game. You're the janitor on a space station after a sci-fi horror battle — the hero is gone, the mess isn't, and your weapons are a mop and a bucket. It's gory, and it has co-op. (Steam notes that the macOS version lacks Steam multiplayer, Workshop and achievements.)
Crime Scene Cleaner
- President Studio
- Steam: Aug 2024
- Windows
- Single-player
Cleaning with a story. To pay for your daughter's treatment you clean up crime scenes for the mob: switch between tools, plan how to tackle each mess, collect evidence and dispose of what shouldn't be found. Same satisfying before-and-after, much darker setting.
Clean it, then renovate it
If the best part was the before-and-after, these games keep going after the cleaning is done.
House Flipper 2
- Frozen District
- Steam: Dec 2023
- Windows
- Single-player
- Online & LAN co-op (2–4)
Cleaning is where every job starts — then you repair, renovate and sell the house. There's a story mode, a sandbox mode for building from scratch, and co-op for two to four players. Good if you want cleaning plus decorating.
Hotel Renovator
- Two Horizons / Focus Entertainment
- Steam: Mar 2023
- Windows
- Single-player
You inherit a neglected hotel: tear down the old wallpaper, rip up the floors, knock through walls, then design every room and run the place for five-star reviews. More renovation than cleaning, but the same "make a wreck beautiful" loop.
Satisfying tidying games
No water, no grime — just the deep satisfaction of everything in its place. Both are short, gentle and run on a Mac.
Unpacking
- Witch Beam
- Steam: Nov 2021
- Windows, macOS, Linux
- Single-player
Not a cleaning game, but the same tidy satisfaction. You pull a person's things out of boxes and find a place for each one, over eight house moves, and learn their story from what they keep. No timers, meters or scores.
A Little to the Left
- Max Inferno / Secret Mode
- Steam: Nov 2022
- Windows, macOS
- Single-player
A tidying puzzle game: sort, stack and line up household objects until they look just right, while a cat does its best to undo your work. Puzzles have more than one solution, and there's a new daily one.
Outdoor jobs: lawns and snow
Satisfying stripes on grass and snow-free roads: work sims for when you want to be outside.
Lawn Mowing Simulator 2
- Skyhook Games
- Steam: Sep 2026
- Windows
- Single-player
The outdoor version of the PowerWash stripes. The sequel moves the lawn care business to the USA, adds leaf blowers and new string trimmers, uses licensed Kubota, SCAG and STIGA equipment, and rebuilds the career mode around a 3D headquarters you can walk around.
Snow Plowing Simulator
- FreeMind
- Steam: Jun 2025
- Windows
- Single-player
The winter job game. You start with a shovel, clearing sidewalks and driveways around town, and work your way up to bigger plows and machines — with mountain weather that can turn into a snowstorm. It's about driving and clearing roads rather than cleaning cars.
Coming in December: a snow cleaning game
Clean the Snow Off My Car, Please!
- Bad Dimension Games (that's us)
- Steam: December 2026 (planned)
- Windows, macOS
- Single-player
Full disclosure: this one is ours, and it isn't out yet. It's a first-person snow cleaning game: a storm buries the town overnight and you dig the cars out by hand. Brush the heavy snow off in chunks, chip and scrape ice from the glass, pour hot water on frozen locks, push the snow away from the wheels. Each car — a taxi, a van, a low sports car, a 1960s classic — cleans differently. If what you like about PowerWash Simulator is the slow, surface-by-surface clean, this is that idea with snow and ice instead of dirt.
How we chose these games
We looked for games that share at least one of the things that make PowerWash Simulator satisfying: visible progress across a surface, a calm pace, tools you choose for each job, and a finished result you can step back and look at. Then we split them by what you actually do, so you can pick the flavour you want — straight cleaning, gore, renovation, tidying or outdoor work.
Not on the list: games we couldn't check, and anything not on Steam. If you play on a console or a Mac, check each store page — platforms differ, and several of these are Windows-only on Steam.
