− | '''Cleaning''' is a type of [[labor]] used by | + | '''Cleaning''' is a type of [[labor]] used by dwarves in order to clean tiles. In order for dwarves to perform this task, it must be enabled inside the labor menu's Other Jobs tab. Dwarves clean a 3x3 tile area at a time, removing contaminants such as vomit, blood, and broken arrows. Cleaning is enabled by default in all dwarves. |
− | Dwarves automatically clean interior floors of [[ | + | Dwarves automatically clean interior floors of [[Contaminant|contaminants]] other than mud. Creatures can track and spread [[blood]], ichor, and various hostile extracts across floors (though direct tracking is disabled in fortress mode by default in v0.43.05). Dwarves also clean melted ice off the beautiful [[ice|frozen]] (Inside) ground when ice melts in places where the [[temperature]] is conveniently high enough. [[Rain]] will clean any tiles exposed to it (typically outdoors tiles,) and natural or generated [[mist]] will clean any creature passing through it and gradually wash the tile it is in. |
In order to initiate a cleaning task, a dwarf needs to be idle 'near' a mess (within X tiles on the same z-level). You can encourage cleaning by ensuring that dwarves with the appropriate labor regularly complete jobs in the vicinity. Defining a meeting area might get the dwarves to clean that area more often. An effective way to get an area clean is to select a dwarf for the task, remove all their professions except Cleaning, and assign them to a small [[burrow]] designated around the area to be cleaned. Burrowing a dwarf with only Cleaning assigned will keep an area much cleaner than it would remain on its own. | In order to initiate a cleaning task, a dwarf needs to be idle 'near' a mess (within X tiles on the same z-level).

Dwarves occasionally clean themselves, using any water source, and [[soap]] if available (see bug below.) They will do so even if they are restricted from the cleaning labor. Any blood and other substances will be washed to the floor to spread to other dwarves and animals; barefoot creatures, like animals, children, and many dwarves, can become afflicted with possibly-poisonous substances washed off another's body, clothing or weapons. A grating beneath the dwarf will permit washed substances to drain. | Dwarves occasionally clean themselves, using any water source, and [[soap]] if available (see bug below.)

− | Given the number of diseases carried by forgotten beasts and the risks of infection, and the threat of evil [[weather]] in evil biomes, it's a good idea to try to keep your dwarves clean. However, this might be a little less important if tracking contaminants is disabled. Even without tracking, dirty dwarves are more likely to get infected if they're injured. | + | Given the number of diseases carried by forgotten beasts and the risks of infection, and the threat of evil [[weather]] in evil biomes, it's a good idea to try to keep your dwarves clean.

While dwarves do a decent job of keeping themselves clean with a water source and soap, they don't always bathe immediately and pets and livestock can't wash themselves. Fortress cleanliness can be helped along in a few ways, such as by setting up a Dwarven Bathtub as described below, by creating a [[waterfall]] in an area that your dwarves will walk through, or using complex [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=34407.0 mist generation schemes]. | While dwarves do a decent job of keeping themselves clean with a water source and soap, they don't always bathe immediately and pets and livestock can't wash themselves.

Regularly dropping small amounts of water on passing dwarves is a great way to keep them clean. The design below uses water from an aquifer above and empties into a [[portable drain]] below, making it completely unpowered. | Regularly dropping small amounts of water on passing dwarves is a great way to keep them clean.
