- Best broom in Clean the Moon is the highest cleaning-speed upgrade you can comfortably afford.
- Upgrade rule: buy a broom tier when clearing debris takes longer than traveling or selling.
- Balance first: pair broom upgrades with backpack capacity so full runs don't interrupt you.
- Zone prep: upgrade your broom before unlocking a new crater, not after.
- Automation later: invest in cleaning robots only after your manual broom setup is stable.
Why the Best Broom Matters in Clean the Moon
Your broom is the core tool in Clean the Moon — the Roblox simulator by Lunarlit Works where you sweep moon dust, space junk, and meteor debris, sell the haul, and upgrade your gear. Every cash-per-minute rate you earn is limited by three stats: cleaning speed (broom), carrying capacity (backpack), and movement efficiency (moon boots). The broom controls how quickly each debris pile turns into collectible material, so it usually delivers the biggest direct speed gain per dollar spent.
| Stat Controlled | Gear | Efficiency Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Cleaning speed | Broom | Time to clear each debris pile |
| Carry capacity | Backpack | Length of run before selling |
| Movement speed | Moon Boots | Travel between debris and seller |
Before buying any broom upgrade, ask: where does each run lose the most time? If cleaning is the slowest step, upgrade the broom. If you walk back to sell too often, upgrade the backpack first.
Broom Tier Comparison: Starter to Advanced
Broom progression in Clean the Moon follows a clear power curve: starter brooms handle the opening lunar area, mid-tier brooms carry you through the first unlocked craters, and advanced brooms make late-game farming and zone pushing efficient. Use the tier overview below to judge where your current broom sits.
| Tier | Broom Class | Best For | Efficiency | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | Advanced cleaning gear | Late-game farming, high-volume runs | Highest | Buy when affordable |
| A | Mid-progression upgraded broom | Unlocking next crater, balanced farming | Very high | Best value tier |
| B | Starter broom with early upgrades | Learning the loop, first hour | Reliable early | Replace when affordable |
| C | Underpowered setup | Temporary use only | Low | Upgrade immediately |
Starter Broom (Tier B)
- Cheap and sufficient for the starting area
- Clears basic moon dust quickly
- Replace once first upgrades pay for themselves
Mid Broom (Tier A)
- Best cost-to-speed balance
- Handles dense debris in unlocked craters
- Ideal through the middle of the game
Advanced Broom (Tier S)
- Fastest clearing speed
- Pairs with expanded storage and robots
- Essential for late-progression zones
Do not push into a distant crater with an underpowered broom. Longer routes with slow cleaning produce less cash per minute than a tight, fast route near the selling point.
Step-by-Step Broom Upgrade Path
Follow this order to keep your cleaning loop efficient from the first minute to late-game automation.
Clear the Starting Area with the Starter Broom
Sweep nearby moon dust and debris close to the selling point. Learn the clean-collect-sell loop without overextending into far zones.
Fix the Biggest Bottleneck First
If your backpack fills after a few piles, buy capacity first. If each pile takes too long to clear, buy the next broom tier instead.
Buy a Broom Tier Before Unlocking a Crater
Save enough cash for both the zone access and one immediate broom upgrade so the new area's denser debris doesn't stall your income.
Combine Broom Speed with Capacity
In mid-game craters, alternate broom and backpack upgrades so cleaning speed and run length grow together.
Add Automation Once Manual Cleaning Is Stable
After securing a strong broom and storage, invest in cleaning robots so passive collection supports your manual sweeping in new zones.
Cleaning speed and capacity first, first useful robot second, base expansion third. Return to broom upgrades whenever slow clearing becomes your main bottleneck again.
Broom Farming Routes and Money Efficiency
The best broom only pays off on the right route. Match your broom tier to a farming loop that keeps your time split balanced between cleaning, collecting, and returning to sell.
| Route Type | Broom Tier Needed | Loop Length | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moon dust near base | Starter (B) | Short | Dependable early income, minimal travel |
| Space junk circuit | Mid (A) | Medium | Keep several debris sources within reach |
| Meteor debris runs | Advanced (S) | Long | Only when broom speed beats travel time |
A steady short-route cycle near the selling area usually out-earns an ambitious long route until your broom, backpack, and boots are all upgraded. Reinvest every sale into the upgrade that removes your largest delay.
Broom Upgrade Checklist:
- Comfortably clear the starting area with the starter broom
- Purchase the first meaningful broom upgrade
- Balance broom speed with backpack capacity
- Unlock the first crater with an upgraded broom equipped
- Reach an advanced broom before late-progression zones
FAQ
Q: What is the best broom in Clean the Moon?
The best broom is the highest cleaning-speed tier you can afford without delaying backpack capacity. Advanced cleaning gear (S tier) clears debris fastest, but a mid-progression broom (A tier) offers the best value through most of the game.
Q: Should I upgrade my broom or backpack first?
Upgrade the broom when clearing each debris pile is the slowest part of your run. Upgrade the backpack when you are forced to return and sell too often. Target whichever bottleneck wastes the most time.
Q: When should I buy cleaning robots instead of broom upgrades?
Invest in robots only after your manual cleaning loop is stable — a solid broom plus adequate capacity. Robots then generate passive resources while you sweep new zones manually.
Q: Do moon boots matter for broom farming?
Yes. Once routes get longer, travel time can exceed cleaning time. Moon boots become a high priority when you spend more time walking between debris and the selling area than actually cleaning.
