Clean Your Keycaps Progress Checklist

Long incremental sessions blur together. You rebirth thinking tools were maxed, only to realize soap lagged two bands behind. Or you hoard cash for workers while scrubbing still takes forever. This progress checklist breaks Clean Your Keycaps into concrete milestones aligned with 2 da moon!‘s core loop — scrub, rinse, polish, place, upgrade, hire, rebirth — so you always know what is done and what is next.

Pair the checklist with How to Play if you are new, or Upgrade Priority if you are optimizing a veteran run. The interactive embed below saves ticks locally in your browser for the current device.

Checklist sections

Onboarding

• Launch the experience from the official game page.
• Complete the tutorial wash cycle: scrub, rinse, polish.
• Place your first clean keycaps and collect cash.
• Open the shop and identify sponge and soap rows.

These steps establish baseline income before any optimization.

Early tools

• Buy your first sponge upgrade (Sponge Tier List S-tier).
• Buy your second sponge upgrade or confirm scrub is no longer the slowest step.
• Buy your first meaningful soap tier when rinse or polish lags (Soap Tier List).
• Complete five full sell cycles without idle shop browsing.

If any box stalls, run a timed batch and return to the slower tool category.

Mid-game automation

• Reach balanced sponge and soap bands within one tier of each other.
• Hire your first worker when tools can keep them busy.
• Confirm plot income rises after the worker — if not, upgrade tools before hiring more.
• Optional: note cash-per-minute before and after worker unlock in the planner on Upgrade Planner.

Pre-rebirth

• Scrub, rinse, and polish each feel fast relative to walking and placement.
• Second worker purchased or consciously skipped for challenge runs.
• Rebirth menu opened and multiplier gain understood — no invented numbers here.
• Rebirth executed or deferred with a reason (e.g., one more sponge band).

Use Latest Update Notes if rebirth rewards changed in a recent [UPD] patch.

Post-rebirth rebuild

• First sponge tier repurchased.
• First soap tier repurchased.
• Worker system restored.
• New income baseline compared mentally to pre-rebirth session.

How to use the embed

Tick items as you complete them during a play session. Uncheck or reset when you rebirth or start an alt account. The checklist does not sync across devices — mobile and PC sessions need separate ticks unless you use the same browser profile.

Checklist vs planner

Tool	Purpose
Progress Checklist	Track completed milestones
Upgrade Planner	Decide the next purchase from current cash

Checklists prevent skipped steps; planners prevent wrong order. Use both if you grind seriously.

Codes, passes, and scripts

Optional boxes you may add mentally:

• Checked Active Codes — no verified codes at last wiki review.
• Verified game pass purchase against Game Passes Worth It?.
• Declined third-party scripts after reading Auto Farm Script safety notes.

None of these are required for progression; they document choices that affect speed or risk.

Returning after a break

If you have not played since an [UPD] title change:

1. Read Latest Update Notes.
2. Reset checklist progress or mark uncertain tiers.
3. Run one wash cycle before trusting old completion states.
4. Revisit Sponge and Soap tier pages if shop rows moved.

Sharing progress with friends

Clean Your Keycaps has no built-in co-op checklist, but you can compare milestones verbally or screenshot your embed progress when coaching a friend. Focus on whether their slowest wash step matches yours — two players with the same sponge band can still need different next purchases if one hired workers early. Point them to Upgrade Priority when their checklist order diverges from yours.
