Clearing every yard before the timer runs out in Clean all the leaves comes down to the equipment you carry. Each tool clears leaves at a different speed and covers a different area, and you spend Cash to buy and upgrade Power, Range, and Radius. Since progress does not carry over between sessions, picking the right tool early decides how fast you finish a map.
Quick answer: Buy the Leaf Blower first if you play free-to-play. If you can spend Robux, the Rainbow Blower is the strongest tool because it pushes leaves across a larger radius toward vents.
Clean all the leaves tool tier list (September 2026)
These placements reflect the current tool lineup for September 2026. Rankings weigh clearing speed, coverage area, how well each tool works with unlocked vents, and whether you can upgrade it with Cash rather than Robux.
| Tier | Tool | Why it lands here |
|---|---|---|
| S+ | Rainbow Blower | Blows leaves across a wide radius straight into unlocked vents. The strongest option overall, sold only for Robux. |
| S | Leaf Blower | Slightly weaker than the Rainbow Blower but upgradeable with Cash. Handles both tight corners and open zones well. |
| A | Molotov | Burns leaves over a large area. Best used on piles already raked to one spot. |
| B | Leaf Vacuum | Collects leaves faster than by hand, but a fully upgraded Hand does much the same job. |
| C | Rake | Slow at pushing leaves toward vents until you sink upgrades into it. |
Why the blowers sit at the top
The Rainbow Blower earns the top spot for one reason: reach. It moves large clusters of leaves toward vents in a single sweep, so you spend less time repositioning and more time clearing. It is locked behind a 30 Robux purchase, which is the only thing keeping it out of reach for free players.
The Leaf Blower is the practical pick for most players because you buy and upgrade it with Cash earned in-game. With enough investment in Power and Range, it clears both cramped rooms and wide yards quickly, which is why it stays just behind the Robux option.
The Molotov is a strong situational tool. It destroys leaves over a large radius, so it shines when you have already raked or blown foliage into one pile and want to clear it in a single move. It is not a first-purchase tool, but it speeds up cleanup in the right spots.
The Leaf Vacuum and Rake fall to the bottom. The Vacuum picks up leaves faster than the default Hand, but once you max Dexterity upgrades on the Hand the advantage shrinks. The Rake is cheap but painfully slow without upgrades, making it the weakest starting choice.
Tool prices and where to buy them
Tools are sold at fixed spots on each map. On the Mansion map, the Rainbow Blower, Rake, Leaf Vacuum, and Leaf Blower are all inside the Shed. The Molotov is the exception, sold in the Backyard zone that opens after you clear several earlier zones. You can carry and upgrade any number of tools at once.
| Tool | Cost | Currency |
|---|---|---|
| Rainbow Blower | 30 | Robux |
| Leaf Vacuum | 10 | Robux |
| Leaf Blower | 29.99 | Cash |
| Rake | 7.99 | Cash |
| Molotov | 100.00 | Cash |
Only the Rainbow Blower and Leaf Vacuum require Robux. Everything else is bought with the Cash you earn by dropping leaves into bins or vents.
Cut upgrade costs with the right class
Every run starts with the default Hand ability, which you use to click leaves and drop them into the bin for Cash. That Cash pays for tools and for the Power, Range, and Radius upgrades that lift a tool up the rankings.
Certain classes lower those upgrade prices. Handy Man, Blower Specialist, and Rake Specialist each reduce the cost of specific tools, letting you reach maxed equipment sooner. Pairing the Blower Specialist or Handy Man class with the Leaf Blower is the fastest free-to-play route to a fully upgraded cleaning setup.
Tip: If you plan to lean on the Hand for a whole run, put Cash into bag capacity instead of tools. Otherwise, funnel your Cash into a single blower and upgrade it before spreading spending across other equipment. The developers may add more tools in future updates, so this order can shift as the lineup grows.
