To clean dust from the floor, players can count on vacuum cleaners. Here's a step-by-step guide for doing so:

  • It's time to take action once negative moodlets creep in because of dust buildup. Luckily, there are two options: the upright vacuum and the handheld vacuum.
  • To begin with, players need to get their hands on a vacuum cleaner first in build/buy mode. Don't worry; these devices won't cost much, and can be bought at prices ranging from 340 to 950 Simoleons.
  • The upright vacuum cleaner is a breeze to use and can help in banishing dust from even the dirtiest of rooms. On the other hand, handheld vacuums can help eliminate dust from all objects, including those toddlers who resist bathing.

Side Tip : Once players are done with cleaning and the vacuum's storage is full, remember to empty it to maintain its efficiency and performance.

How To Clean The Dust Off The Grid?

Some players may get bored and choose to live off the grid to avoid everyday hassles in The Sims 4. Even in that case, keeping everything clean must be their priority. However, the lack of electricity poses a problem that makes vacuum cleaning challenging. To clean the dust off the grid, follow these steps:

  • Install an Eco lifestyle pack and buy a wind turbine and a solar panel.
  • Look for a suitable spot with a good breeze and plenty of sunlight to place the wind turbine and solar panel and ensure they work perfectly. Insufficient sunlight and air can put a damper on energy generation, so players need to be careful about correct placement.
  • Now locate the vacuum cleaner and click on it.
  • Select "put into inventory" and let it banish the dust buddies.

The Sims 4 is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
