Clean Introduction
With the full release of the game, achievements were added with most of them providing a challenge to work on while doing certain jobs. If you don't complete the achievement in Career Mode, you can launch the job in Freeplay. For achievements that require you complete something first, you don't need to finish the job once you do so. You can now complete achievements in co-op mode as the client.
────────────────────────────────────────────────
Achievements are grouped in relation to its simplicity and time required to achieve it. Each section will be organized into the following:
  • Simple Work
  • Minimal Effort
  • Requires Persistence
────────────────
Each achievement will be organized into the following format:

Achievements that require completing a full job or some patience.
────────────────────────────────────────────────
StegoScore
────────────────
"In the Playground, roll the football up the stegoslide"

This can be tricky to accomplish, but it's easier if you have a more powerful power washer. Use the 0 degree nozzle and also aim for the top half of the football. You can use the stepladder to help align the football with the slide.
────────────────────────────────────────────────
Gutted
────────────────
"Complete the Bungalow gutters last"

Due to the 2 sides of the gutters, you have some leeway when cleaning the roof or the walls.
────────────────────────────────────────────────
Sole Task

────────────────────────────────────────────────
Delicate Excavation
────────────────
"Completely clean the Ancient Monument using only the white nozzle"

Equip the 40 degree nozzle and never switch nozzles after. You can use extensions to help extend your length.
────────────────────────────────────────────────
Tall Order
────────────────
"Completely clean the Fire Station job without standing on the scaffolding"

You can use the ladder and stepladder. Also, extensions will be your friend, especially for the tower. Since you can't use the ladder on the tower, you may have to continuously fall down it for the higher portions, if you can't reach with the stepladder and extensions.
────────────────────────────────────────────────
Good Dings to Come
────────────────
"Clean 95% of any job without completing any tasks"

This will be a slow process. I completed it on the Van job using the red nozzle due to its small but powerful nature. A good reference point for the tasks is to bring the completion bar to around the bottle that's next to the material. If you get every task to this point, then slowly work down larger parts so that you have more leeway.
────────────────────────────────────────────────
Gnome Sweet Gnome
────────────────
"In the Temple, ensure the gnome is on the tower roof once the job is complete"

The gnome already spawns on the tower roof, so you need to move it around to clean the parts it's on. If it falls off you will be able to use the ladder and scaffolding to bring it back up. The gnome can be on its side, as long as it's on top. Start with the tower roof first to make sure you restart early on if you need to. You can also quit and resume the job which will cause the gnome to be back at its original position.
────────────────────────────────────────────────
Merrily Go Round
────────────────
"Completely clean the Carousel without turning it off"

The carousel starts on, so just avoid interacting with the button. When cleaning the moving parts, you can stand on one spot and clean without moving, before moving in to finish up.
────────────────────────────────────────────────
Delaying the Inevitable
────────────────
"In the Washroom, complete the toilets last"

I made sure to leave the toilets, lids, and seats themselves last, so that they appear on the final checklist. I cleaned the lids and seats first leaving the toilets themselves for the absolute last thing cleaned.

On the White Rabbit's House level of the Alice in Wonderland DLC, there is a painting for "cleaning all the clocks on the clock wall first".

The "Clock Painting" on the wall IS NOT one of the clocks, and WILL VOID the achievement for that attempt.
BlondesGift 13 May, 2023 @ 4:35am 
I did the last level of career mode and I didn't get the achievement. I have 190 Stars. Is my game bugged or did I miss something?
`Derpy  [author] 27 Apr, 2023 @ 2:15pm 
@Artillery Crab OMEGA Try to stand on the seat as that's where I stood. Make sure you stay on it for 10 seconds. Not moving at all should work enough. If you still don't get, then try moving slightly and stopping for 10 seconds again
Artillery Crab OMEGA 27 Apr, 2023 @ 12:03pm 
Tried to do the Penny Farthing one, but no matter where i stood, the achievement wouldn't pop up
`Derpy  [author] 6 Mar, 2023 @ 11:46am 
@COOL1nate I used the red nozzle for the quick clean while also being able to be precise. Ideally the job has only a few parts to wash, which is why I chose the van. What's more important is making sure your progress bar for any one detail doesn't get too low.
COOL1nate 6 Mar, 2023 @ 10:40am 
Is there any specific job that's the "easiest" to get the "Good Dings To Dong" achievement on? You said you got it on the Van job, did you use any specific washer/nozzle to be precise without accidentally washing and completing other parts of the job? (This is the only other achievement I need to get all the achievements and I keep struggling with it.)
`Derpy  [author] 3 Nov, 2022 @ 11:28am 
@fatterinperson Try recleaning a stage. Also, make sure to verify your game files. It's weird you didn't get it before, so if those don't work, try contacting support.
looseraisins 2 Nov, 2022 @ 11:34pm 
I have all 190 stars and the Super Star achievement didn't pop for me. Is there anything you can think of to do?
TheDragonWhisperer 17 Oct, 2022 @ 7:44pm 
The only thing I can think of is that I completed 2 out of 4 toilet lids before the finishing other tasks. They must count as part of the toilet. I think the issue is unclear communication to the player
`Derpy  [author] 17 Oct, 2022 @ 5:42pm 
The achievements appear to be buggy. All I can say is to try again as the methods I described were what worked for me.
