Cleaning is a type of Template:L 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. Cleaning is enabled by default in all dwarves.

Though dwarves clean interior and non-muddied subterranean floors, they will not clean outside, and can track Template:L, ichor, and various hostile extracts across floors. Template:L will clean any tiles exposed to it (typically outdoors tiles,) and natural or generated Template:L will clean any creature passing through it and gradually wash the tile it is in.

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 Template:L designated around the area to be cleaned. Having a Cleaning-only dwarf permanently burrowed around a well will keep it much cleaner than it would remain on its own.

Dwarves with the Cleaning skill enabled occasionally clean themselves, using any water source, and soap if available (see bug below.) 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.

There is currently a bug leading to spam of messages "cannot clean self" whenever soap is available; the only known workaround is to ensure that all of your soap is stored in chests in your hospital.
