Clean all the leaves gives you one job on each map. Remove every leaf from every zone in a single run, because your progress does not carry over between sessions. The clock starts the moment you spawn, so a fast finish comes down to spending Cash in the right order and clearing zones in a way that avoids repeat trips.
Quick answer: Buy a bag size upgrade first, then max the Hand’s Dexterity and Grasp, then save straight for the Leaf Blower (29.99 Cash). Unlock every vent in a zone before you clean it, blow leaf clusters into vents from the corners, and switch to the upgraded Hand for tight spots and ventless rooms like the Basement.

Upgrade order that saves the most time
Spreading Cash evenly across everything is the main reason runs drag on. A tight order lets each purchase pay for the next one faster.

Add to Google Preferences →Tool costs and what each one does
| Tool or ability | Cost | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| Hand | Free (start) | Leaves under tables, chairs, and ventless zones; depositing in the bin |
| Rake | Low, but skippable | Pushing leaves into vents, though slower than the Blower |
| Leaf Blower | 29.99 Cash | Blowing leaf clusters into vents quickly from a distance |
Note: Dropping leaves in the bin generally pays more Cash than pushing them into vents. Use vents to save time, and use the bin when you want to build Cash for the next upgrade.
Clear each zone in one pass
Consistent movement matters more than speed. The goal is to touch each part of a zone once and never walk back across clean ground without a reason.

Ventless zones like the Basement
Some zones have no vents at all. The Basement on the House map is the clearest example. Without a vent, the Leaf Blower and Rake cannot deposit anything, so you are forced back onto the Hand. This is exactly why the Hand upgrades matter for a fast run. A maxed Grasp lets you scoop leaves seven at a time and carry them to the bin, turning an otherwise slow room into a quick clear.
Read each zone before committing to a tool. If a tool cannot deposit leaves there, do not fight it. Fall back to the upgraded Hand and keep moving.
How you know a zone is done
Each zone confirms completion with a banner announcing that you collected all the leaves in that area, and it hands you an active coin boost. That popup is your signal to sell any leaves still in your bag and move to the next zone. If the banner has not appeared, a stray leaf is still hiding somewhere in that area, usually along an edge or under an object.

Pick the Handy Man class
Handy Man is the strongest class for clearing maps quickly. It stacks several bonuses at once, giving you extra bag capacity, bonus Cash and Diamonds, and cheaper Rake and Leaf Blower upgrades. That combination speeds up the exact upgrade path described above, so runs finish sooner from the very first zone.
The four maps
There are four maps to clear, and the same upgrade order and vent strategy apply to each of them.
- House
- Mansion
- Gas Station
- Space Station
The pattern stays the same everywhere. Bag first, then Hand upgrades, then the Leaf Blower, unlock all vents before cleaning, and keep the Hand ready for the corners and ventless rooms. Stick to that loop and the timer stops being a threat, since most maps finish well before it runs out once your route is clean.
