Moldwasher Tools Guide — Moldwasher
Moldwasher tools define whether missions feel satisfying or impossible. Each tool solves specific obstacle types—using water on rice piles or fire on normal mold wastes time and causes 0% progress stalls. This hub links to individual tool pages and our interactive Tool Selector.
Tool Quick Reference
| Tool | Best For | Not For |
|---|---|---|
| Pressure Washer | Mold, floors, walls, most surfaces | Hard crust, burn targets, movable objects |
| Leaf Blower | Rice, rubbish bags, loose debris, air duct | Breaking hard objects, burning |
| Pickaxe | Cookies, crackers, walls, hard chunks | Normal mold, burn phases |
| Flamethrower | Mushrooms, cockroaches, burn objects | Normal dirt after burn complete |
Switch tools with mouse wheel or Tab when progress stalls. Use the Tool Selector if unsure which tool an obstacle requires.
Unlock and Upgrade Philosophy
Unlock all four tools before maxing any single tool. Each unlock opens new mission types worth more FreshCash than incremental upgrades on one tool. After full unlock, prioritize upgrades on the tool your current mission set uses most frequently.
Detailed purchase timing lives on the Upgrade Order page. Official developer tips recommend unlocking tools first, then upgrading—a strategy this wiki confirms through community walkthrough data.
