Carpet Cleaning Simulator v2.0.0 Adds Endless Mode and Charm System

Carpet Cleaning Simulator's v2.0.0 update, published on 14 August 2026, introduces its most substantial content expansion since launch: a post-clear mode and an accompanying item system that together extend play well beyond the base game's conclusion.

What changed

New post-clear mode — "Challenge the Endless Dirt"

  • A long-term progression mode unlocked after clearing the main game, in which carpet dirt scales in difficulty as the player's Rank increases.
  • Higher Ranks unlock raised upgrade limits for the shop and other systems, allowing tools and abilities to be strengthened beyond their base-game caps.

New Charm system (exclusive to the endless mode)

  • Charms are equippable items that attach to the Scrubber, Brush, and Polisher, each carrying distinct effects.
  • Players choose which Charm to slot into each tool, enabling build customization around personal playstyle.

Fixes and adjustments

  • Fixed a visual issue causing foam to render poorly.
  • Fixed a bug preventing language changes after certain in-game actions.
  • Added an FPS limit option.
  • Added a toggle to shut off water from the Fire Hydrant.
  • Changed the news notification sound.
  • Reduced performance load when scrubbing with the Brush.
  • Reduced the movement speed of the Multi-Function Polisher.
  • Added a button to switch between modified tools.
  • Adjusted prices for some Dark Shop items.
  • Various minor bug fixes.

For players who have finished the base game, the update offers a structured reason to return — with escalating challenge and a build system that rewards experimentation across the tool roster.
