Guides

Introduction

Guides is the fastest way to turn an overwhelming pile of autumn leaves into a relaxing, rewarding cleaning routine. Clean all the leaves! drops you into a friend's yard with nothing but a basic rake and asks you to clear every pile before the owners return from vacation. The core loop is simple - sweep leaves into your bag, drag the full bag to the vent, dump it, sell your haul for Cash, and reinvest that Cash into faster tools, bigger bags and new areas. This category collects step-by-step walkthroughs that explain that loop from the very first spawn, including where the shop and vent are, how to fill a bag quickly, and what to buy with your first earnings. Beyond the basics you will find progression roadmaps for solo players, time-management routines for busy sessions, and efficiency checklists that show exactly which actions give the best Cash return per minute. Whether you are stuck in your first hour, wondering what to do next, or planning the fastest route to the endgame, the guides here give you a clear path with no guesswork.

Core Mechanics

The heart of Clean all the leaves! is a tidy economic loop that every guide builds upon. You spawn in a yard covered in autumn leaves and your starting rake sweeps a small amount per second. Leaves gathered inside your bag can be hauled to the vent and dumped, converting them into a saleable haul. Selling that haul earns Cash, the main currency you will spend at the shop on better tools and bigger bags. Because bigger bags reduce how often you run to the vent, and faster tools reduce how long each pile takes, upgrades compound: every purchase makes the next one easier. The loop repeats in progressively messier yards that require more leaves, smarter routes and better gear. Guides in this category explain exactly how to read each yard, when to prioritize bag size over sweep speed, and how to keep the loop running without dead time. Understanding the loop matters more than any single item, because the same skills carry you from the starter lot to the final area.

Advantages

The guides category is built to save you time and frustration. First, every walkthrough is structured around the actual sweep-sell-upgrade loop, so advice transfers directly to your play session instead of staying abstract. Second, the beginner path removes the most common early mistakes - wandering aimlessly, ignoring the vent position, and spending Cash on the wrong first upgrade - which speeds up your first hour dramatically. Third, the efficiency routines are grounded in route planning and time management, both of which increase coins-per-minute without requiring rare items or advanced gear. Fourth, the completion checklist connects directly to the secret-ending content, giving completionists a single resource that ties visible piles, special leaves and badges together. Finally, because the category links to every other section of the wiki, a single guide can send you to the exact tool tier list, upgrade order or co-op strategy you need next, turning research into action.

Challenges

The main challenge with guides content is keeping it current. Clean all the leaves! updates frequently, and each patch can move a best tool, change upgrade prices, or add new yards, which makes older walkthroughs feel dated. Guides are also sensitive to playstyle - a route that is efficient for a solo player may be wasteful for a full co-op team, so advice needs to be read with your own group size in mind. Finally, because the game is new and some systems (classes, gems, exact yards) are still being documented by the community, a few guides rely on community-observed numbers rather than official statistics. Always check the update date at the top of a guide, verify numbers against the latest patch notes, and treat community listings as a starting point rather than gospel. When in doubt, the updates category is the best place to confirm what has changed recently.
