Every run in Clean all the leaves! starts the same way: bare hands, a small bag, and a yard buried in foliage. Cash comes from dumping leaves into bins and vents, and that Cash is the only thing standing between you and a tool that clears an entire lawn in seconds. Spend it in the wrong order and you’ll spend the whole timer picking up leaves one click at a time.
Quick answer: Skip the Rake and the Leaf Vacuum, and bank Cash until you can afford the Leaf Blower at $29.99 — it’s the best tool you can buy without Robux. If you are spending Robux, buy the Rainbow Blower instead and ignore the Cash tools entirely.
All five tools ranked by cost and cleaning power
There are five purchasable tools, and you can own all of them in a single run. The Hand you start with never goes away, so every purchase is an addition rather than a replacement.
| Tool | Cost | What it does | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rainbow Blower | 30 Robux | Blows leaves toward unlocked vents with the largest radius and the highest power in the game | Best overall |
| Leaf Blower | $29.99 Cash | Pushes leaves into vents; handles both tight corners and open yards | Best free-to-play pick |
| Molotov | $100.00 Cash | Burns leaves over a wide area for instant money | Strong, but a late purchase |
| Leaf Vacuum | 10 Robux | Siphons leaves at medium range straight into your bag | Mostly redundant |
| Rake | $7.99 Cash | Drags leaves toward open vents | Slow without upgrades |
Note: the Rainbow Blower is listed at 30 Robux in the Shed, though it has also appeared at 50 Robux. Check the price tag in-game before you commit.

Where each tool is sold
Tools sit in fixed spots on the map rather than in a menu you can open anywhere. On the Mansion map, the Rainbow Blower, Rake, Leaf Vacuum, and Leaf Blower are all inside the Shed, which makes it the first building worth unlocking. The Molotov is the exception — it lives in the Backyard zone, and that zone only opens after you’ve finished several earlier areas.
You also cannot bring equipment into a run. Every tool has to be bought inside the playthrough, so a purchase made on a previous map does nothing for the next one. Once a tool is yours, it appears in your hotbar and fills its slot in the tool index, and you can swap between it and your Hands freely.
Upgrades: Power, Range, Radius, and bag capacity
Buying a tool is only half the purchase. Each one has stats you improve with Cash, including Power, Range, and Radius, and the upgrade menu opens with Tab. A Leaf Blower with a wider Radius clears far more ground per sweep than a fresh one, which is exactly why dumping Cash into the Rake early costs you later.

Classes cut those costs. Handy Man, Rake Specialist, and Blower Specialist each reduce upgrade prices for their matching equipment, so a Blower Specialist run reaches a maxed Leaf Blower noticeably sooner. Pick the class that matches the tool you actually plan to use.

Bag capacity deserves a mention because it competes for the same Cash. If you plan to keep collecting with your Hands, the $10.00 Upgrade Bag reduces trips to the bin and is worth taking early; there’s also an Infinite Bag for 599 Robux. If you’re going straight for a blower, leaves get pushed into vents rather than carried, so tool stats take priority over storage.
Why the Rake and Leaf Vacuum keep losing out
The Rake isn’t broken — it’s just the slowest way to reach the tool you actually want. At $7.99 it costs roughly a quarter of the Leaf Blower, and every dollar spent on it and its upgrades delays the Blower by that much. Some players do buy it first to speed up early collection, but the payoff only holds if you’re planning to invest in Rake upgrades rather than saving.
The Leaf Vacuum has a narrower problem. It’s a faster version of something you can already do, and Dexterity upgrades on your Hands close most of that gap for Cash instead of Robux. If you’re spending Robux at all, those 10 go much further as part of the Rainbow Blower purchase.
One last thing to plan around: progress doesn’t carry between sessions, and each map runs on a timer. That makes the first few minutes of every run the ones that matter most — hands first, then the Leaf Blower, and only then anything else. Tool lineups and prices can shift with updates, so confirm the numbers on the Shed’s price tags before you hand over your Cash.
