The Clean Crew Roblox shop, officially called the Wares Shop, is the safe resting floor that appears between every apartment level in the horror cleaning experience by CleanCrew. Running a successful run requires understanding how to spend in-run Celz on Travelings Man's Cartridges and consumable tools. Knowing what each item does, how to sell junk and antiques, and when to save currency will keep your crew alive all the way to Floor 7 and the roof.
Where to Find the Wares Shop and How It Works
The Wares Shop appears automatically as an elevator stop after you clear an apartment floor. Designed like a woodsy cabin decorated with Christmas lights and brown beaded curtains, it is one of the only completely safe zones in the game. Enemies cannot spawn here, giving your team time to recover and prepare for the next floor.
Several distinct stations and interactive features make up the Wares Shop:
- Travelings Man Counter: Located straight ahead from the elevator entrance. Travelings Man sells permanent run Cartridges directly from behind his counter.
- Handmade Goods Shelves: Located to the right of the main entrance, displaying buyable consumable items such as Glowsticks and Bathbombs.
- Lounge and Plugs: Found past the left aisle, containing a sofa, a refrigerator, a wall socket that heals cleaner health much faster than regular sockets, and a floor outlet to dock BUDDY.
- Bargain Bin: Positioned on the left side near the entrance. Players can sweep up loose junk in the bin and deposit it into BUDDY for extra ammo and Celz.
- Scented Cosmox Machine: Positioned across from the bargain bin, allowing players to purchase modifications for their pressure cannon using Mula.
- Hidden Parkour Area: A ledge path above Travelings Man's counter leading to secret wall text reading "lost souls shall we meet again."
Before spending any currency, dock BUDDY in the lounge plug. This allows your squad to empty remaining litter tanks and drop collected antiques into BUDDY to cash them in for Celz. Ammo left in the elevator also carries forward, so ensure your team fills their tanks before starting the next lift.
In-Game Currencies: Celz vs. Mula
Clean Crew features two distinct currencies that serve different shopping purposes. Conflating them is a common beginner mistake:
- Celz: The temporary in-run currency shown in the upper-right corner of the HUD. Celz reset at the end of each run and are exclusively spent inside the Wares Shop on Cartridges and consumable items. Players earn Celz by selling discovered antiques to BUDDY, depositing swept litter, breaking dislodged furniture, appraising relics through Travelings Man, and achieving high floor completion percentages.
- Mula: The persistent account currency kept between runs. Mula is earned by successfully finishing runs and meeting round objectives. It is spent in the main menu Mula Store for character cosmetics, class skins, and stickers, or inside runs at the Scented Cosmox vending machine for pressure cannon modifiers.
During active runs, players can also spend Robux on certain emergencies. Purchasing revives or buying 75 bonus cells for 15 Robux can be done directly from the interface if a team is short on cash before an intense floor.
Consumable Items and Prices
Handmade items are one-time purchase consumables resting on the display shelves to the right of the counter. Each item has limited uses or charges per floor purchase. Purchasing 25 items across a single run unlocks the Impulse Purchases badge.
| Item | Celz Cost | Charges / Uses | In-Game Effect and Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| Glowsticks | 15 Celz | 5 Charges | Illuminates dark rooms and hallways. The glow matches the purchasing player's color. Once dropped, they cannot be picked back up. |
| Bathbombs | 35 Celz | 3 Charges | Thrown explosive cleaning tools. Spawns an expanding soapy bubble that cleans surface stains at a rate of 1 and deals 2 damage to pests. |
| The Slugger | ~100 Celz | Limited Uses | A spiked baseball bat designed for close-quarters melee combat against aggressive entities. |
| The Big One | Varies | Limited Uses | A flash camera utility. Instantly kills Sporlings and Spores, stuns large threats, and strips the Dream Demon of its invulnerability. |
| Portable Portals | Varies | Limited Uses | Deployable teleport devices that allow quick retreats between far hallways and safe zones. |
| Relic Radar | Varies | Limited Uses | Scans nearby rooms to locate hidden antiques, valuable relics, and quest objectives. |
| Cosmox Bottles | Varies | Consumable | Bottled cleaning solutions that provide quick utility and recovery during active apartment sweeps. |
Consumables should be bought according to team needs. If your squad struggles with navigating during unpowered rooms or dark junctions, Glowsticks prevent wasted time. If entities camp doorways, Bathbombs and The Slugger clear out pests without draining precious pressure cannon water.
Cartridges and Tier Upgrades
Cartridges represent permanent upgrades that last for the entire duration of your run. Travelings Man offers a random selection of 4 Cartridges per visit out of a total pool of 6. A player can equip a maximum of 3 Cartridges at any given time. If you want to change your build, equipped Cartridges can be resold back to Travelings Man for Celz based on their current tier.
Upgrading a Cartridge requires buying Tier 1, followed by Tier 2 and Tier 3 in sequence. Fully upgrading all three equipped cartridge slots awards the Game Genie badge, while finishing a complete run without buying any cartridges earns the TRUE NATTY badge.
| Cartridge | Tier | Celz Cost | Upgrade Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moving Crew | Tier 1 | 150 Celz | Grants +3 movement speed while carrying heavy objects and antiques. |
| Cargo Pants | Tier 1 | 100 Celz | Adds +2 extra inventory slots for carrying items. |
| Litter Bug | Tier 2 | 200 Celz | Increases litter tank capacity by +16 slots. |
| Litter Bug | Tier 3 | 300 Celz | Grants bonus pressure cannon ammo whenever sweeping or picking up litter. |
| Bleach Cleaner | Tier 2 | 300 Celz | Grants +2 cleaner efficiency on dirty furniture and surface stains. |
| Bleach Cleaner | Tier 3 | 400 Celz | Adds +1 entity damage, making water shots significantly deadlier to pests. |
| Ammo Reserver | Tier 1–3 | Varies | Increases maximum ammo capacity, reducing return trips to BUDDY. |
| Alkaline Heart | Tier 1–3 | Varies | Boosts health parameters and survivability against heavy monster hits. |
Teams aiming to speedrun floor percentages generally prioritize Bleach Cleaner for raw cleaning speed and pest damage, combined with Litter Bug or Ammo Reserver to minimize downtime spent reloading at BUDDY.
Red Moon Event Item: The Silver Flask
During the recurring monthly Red Moon event, Travelings Man stocks an exclusive specialty item called the Silver Flask for 80 Celz. Purchasing this item triggers event mechanics across subsequent floors.
- Purchase the Silver Flask from Travelings Man for 80 Celz at the Wares Shop.
- Collect silver bullets scattered across apartment rooms, hallways, and mixer rooms until the flask reaches 100 oz of silver (100% full).
- Evade Red Petals in the hallways by breaking line of sight, as they drain cleaner health and can quickly trigger Dream Demon attacks.
- Avoid engaging the Bloodhound in direct combat until your flask is completed.
- Return the 100% filled Silver Flask to Travelings Man at the next shop visit to receive the Silver Aroma buff and earn the Thy Strength badge.
- Use the Silver Aroma buff to exterminate the Bloodhound, which drops the rare Supreme Armor antique that can be sold to BUDDY for substantial funds.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you revive dead teammates in the Wares Shop?
Teammates who die on an apartment floor automatically respawn when the elevator reaches the next floor or the Wares Shop, provided the team has remaining collective bulbs or lives. If a player is completely out of bulbs, they remain inactive unless revived through the shop or specific game mechanics.
What should you sell to BUDDY in the shop?
Place BUDDY into the lounge wall socket immediately upon entering the shop. You can feed him all remaining floor litter from your tank for extra water ammo, as well as toss discovered antiques (such as Sour Soldiers, Ocular Paradoxes, Hazel Daisies, or moist membranes) into his screen to convert them into spendable Celz.
Does the healing socket in the Wares Shop have infinite uses?
No. While the lounge wall socket restores cleaner health at a much faster rate than sockets found inside apartment complexes, it has a built-in burnout limit. If your entire squad is low on health, rotate players on the socket so everyone gets partial healing before the port burns out.
What happens if you sell an equipped Cartridge?
Selling an equipped Cartridge refunds a portion of the Celz spent on it based on its current tier. However, doing so completely removes the passive bonus, and repurchasing it later starts the upgrade path over from Tier 1.
