Clean the WORLD! Guides
Two guides cover the questions every Clean the WORLD! player hits: what to do first, and how to reach the SEA. Both are built on official badge data and dated community footage — no invented rates, no borrowed same-name game tips.
The game in one paragraph
Trash has taken over the world. You collect garbage and convert it into cash, while a second currency — bubble gum — drops as you collect and pays for the skill tree and new areas. Animal families (horses, unicorns, gorillas, dinosaurs) you unlock through the skill tree each produce their own droppables (poop, bananas, eggs) worth cash, with rare golden, neon and diamond variants multiplying income. Each era you clear unlocks the next chapter: the SEA area, and later Underground / Outer Space.
Clean the WORLD! launched 2026-07-13, runs 7-player servers, and is free to play. Since the PRESTIGE update (September 27, 2026) every Robux upgrade is obtainable free-to-play, so the entire progression — horses to dinosaurs, SEA, and your first rebirth — costs time, not money.

Each guide names its sources and checked date, and hands off to the calculator or wiki when a number needs your own inputs.
Progression & Era Checklist
The documented first-hour path: hire noobs, feed the skill tree, unlock horses → unicorns → gorillas → dinosaurs, and manage the gum stockpile. Includes a milestone checklist you can tick off against the eight official badges, plus the rebirth decision — only ~14% of joiners ever reach TIME TRAVELER.

Guide 2 · SEASEA Update Guide
What crossing into the SEA chapter means: the ~1,000,000 gum entry documented by community footage, the official feature names (seagulls, the shredder, more upgrades), the Turtles Don't Eat Plastics Silly badge, and what remains genuinely undocumented after PRESTIGE.

The progression funnel these guides target
Badge award counts double as a progression funnel. Of roughly 3.6M players who joined, about 71% reached the horse era, 64% the mythological creatures, 58% the gorilla era, 46% the dinosaur era, and 27% unlocked the SEA. Only about 14% have rebirthed. The drop-off between dinosaurs and SEA is the single biggest wall in the game — it is where the gum grind bites, because the SEA entry was documented at 1,000,000 gum.
| Stage | Share of joiners | Badge awards |
|---|---|---|
| Join (WELCOME) | 100% baseline | 3,636,487 |
| Cenozoic Era (horses) | ~71% of joiners | 2,578,411 |
| Mythological Creatures | ~64% of joiners | 2,324,764 |
| Miocene Epoch (gorillas) | ~58% of joiners | 2,115,489 |
| Mesozoic Era (dinosaurs) | ~46% of joiners | 1,683,872 |
| SEA unlocked | ~27% of joiners | 985,177 |
| First rebirth | ~14% of joiners | 504,295 |

Percentages are computed from badge award counts against WELCOME awards — they measure how far the player base has ever gotten, not a per-player completion rate.
How these guides are verified
Both guides draw from the same three layers, in strict order: official surfaces first (the description that named SEA and PRESTIGE, the badge API that carries every milestone's award count and win rate, the games API's updated timestamp), then stats sites (Creator Exchange for the owner listing and genre labels), then dated gameplay videos for mechanics the developer never wrote down — the cash-and-gum loop, skill-tree order, and the SEA entry observation. When a video is the only source, the guide says so next to the claim, with the upload date, and flags that the August 25 rebirth and September 27 PRESTIGE updates may have moved the numbers since. When nothing documents a mechanic — shredder behavior, rebirth reset rules — the guide says "undocumented" and moves on rather than inventing an answer.
One warning applies to every guide here: search results mix this game with a same-name experience (Chaseroony's CLEAN THE WORLD, place 71200972953378). Tips, codes, and tier lists for that game do not transfer — check the place ID (105767799784652) against whatever you are reading before you follow it. The sources page documents the full verification method.
Pick by symptom
Not sure which page you need? By symptom: "I just started and have no idea what to click" → the progression guide, step 1. "I keep running out of cash or gum" → progression step 2, then price your upgrade habit with the calculator. "Dinosaurs done, SEA feels impossible" → the SEA update guide's gum budget. "Is there a code for that?" → codes status (spoiler: none verified). "Where do I get official news?" → community links, which explains why the game description is the news channel.
Questions players ask
What should a new player do first in Clean the WORLD!?
Hire your first trash throwers, collect what they toss, and put early cash into more throwers before anything else — income first, cosmetics later. Then start the gum-earning loop that funds the skill tree.
What is the fastest documented route to the SEA?
Ride the skill-tree order the badges imply: horses → unicorns → gorillas → dinosaurs, converting each family's droppables into cash, then stock 1,000,000 gum for the SEA entry documented by community footage. The progression guide breaks it down step by step.
Which guide should I read before rebirthing?
The progression guide's rebirth section: the TIME TRAVELER badge (32.6% win rate) is the rarest earned award in the game, and the PRESTIGE update made every Robux upgrade free-to-play, so a rebirth plan no longer needs Robux.
