While taking care of your Parafolk’s hygiene in Paralives, sanitary items will frequently get dirty since the toilet and sink are used so often. This can make the house smell bad, feel embarrassing when friends visit, and even make it harder to maintain friendships.

Dust and mold can also build up on walls and around rooms, which may attract viruses and harm your Parafolk’s health, leading to multiple healthcare visits. To avoid that, keeping the house clean is a must. Continue reading this guide to discover all the ways to keep your home cleaner.

How to Clean Your House in Paralives

There are two primary ways players can sanitize their legally owned households. While neighborhood buildings can be used for food, resting, and washing up without requiring regular upkeep, your own home will still need maintenance. The methods are as follows:

Give Cleaning Tasks to Parafolk

The easiest and most cost-effective way to clean a household is to assign a family member the housekeeping duty. The good thing is you don’t have to pay anything, and the delegated character will automatically take care of sanitation once their other tasks are completed. The best candidates for this role are stay-at-home dads, moms, or other Parafolk, though anyone from a child to an elder can do this activity.

To tidy up the house yourself in Paralives, follow these steps:

  • Find and click on the dirty spot (this could be the bathtub, toilet, sink, or walls, especially inside bathrooms and rooms).
  • Select the “Clean” option.

After this, a short animation will play where the Parafolk scrubs or wipes the area. Multiple Parafolk can handle different messes at the same time.

Keeping the household unclean can trigger the “Disgusted” emotion in your Parafolk, which will affect their work performance and social interactions. This emotion can be resolved by sanitizing the dirty or moldy areas.

Hire Cleaning Service

Another way to keep the house spotless is to request a professional housekeeping service. This, of course, comes with a small fee and requires access to a computer and/or phone. Fortunately, Parafolk from child to elder can use this option, though the fee will be charged to the joint household income. Here’s how to hire a cleaning service in Paralives:

  • Click on the computer or open your phone.
  • Go to the Hire section and select “Cleaning Service.”

After that, 100 Paradimes will be paid upfront, and a house cleaner will soon enter the home, go to the dirty areas, and clean them up without any instructions or further dialogue.

Since children can also hire one, you can request it early in the morning before they leave for school. And if the helper doesn’t leave after finishing the cleanup, you can tap on them and select the “Ask to Leave” option.

While the phone can be operated from anywhere, the computer requires a proper setup inside the house. If that isn’t available, you can also use a computer at the workplace, museum, or Town Hall & Library when nearby to order a helper for your home.

Most Rank 1 jobs in Paralives will earn around 250 Paradimes per day, which can make hiring a cleaning service difficult on a daily basis. To earn a decent amount, you might want to check our best ways to make money guide, or you could also use money cheats for an instant boost.

Apart from cleaning, cooking is also an essential life skill that you can learn from our Paralives guide here. That said, if your characters do end up catching viruses due to unhygienic habits and a dirty home, you can refer to this cure guide to help them.
