Steam reviews
What players say
Most players find Moldwasher cute, relaxing and well made, but many agree it is very short for its price.
Most reviewers recommend the game and describe it as cozy, chill and satisfying. Many players enjoy the pixel art, the lo-fi soundtrack and the cleaning itself, with its water and sound effects, and some like the collectibles such as stickers, VHS tapes and CDs that decorate the kitchen. Many players say it can be finished in two to three hours, and some feel that is too short for the price, especially at full price. Some players want more levels, more tools and tool upgrades, and a few would welcome a DLC or a larger map. Other complaints concern technical issues such as hidden items that fail to spawn, dirt that gets stuck, no way to see from the level menu which collectibles are already found, and no mouse sensitivity setting. Recent reviews are more positive overall, and a few mention an update that improved the late game.

Many players
Criticised
- Too short for the price
Players finish it in two to three hours and feel the price is high for the content, especially at full price.
Many players - Few levels and tools
Players want more levels, more tools and upgrades, a bigger map or a DLC, and some find the tool progression uneven.
Some players - Hidden items and collectible tracking
Players report collectibles that are hard to find or track, no indication in the level menu of what is already collected, and some hidden drops that do not spawn.
Some players - Mold regrowth and controls
Players find the regrowth stressful rather than relaxing, and some dislike the tool handling, the tight aiming and the missing mouse sensitivity setting.
A few players
- Who it suits
- Players who enjoy cozy, low-stakes cleaning games with pixel art and a chill soundtrack, and who want something they can finish in a few hours, especially on sale.
- Who should skip it
- Players who want a long game with depth, a story or many levels, or who find regrowing mold and tight controls stressful.
Short vs. long playtime: Players with the most hours mostly describe the game as the same short, relaxing experience, but those who played longer more often wish for more levels and content.
