Clean all the leaves! Fast Clear: Upgrade Order & Route

The order that works

Every fast clear on video follows the same shape. NoobBlox’s route (Aug 20), which finishes The House in under 20 minutes, goes:

Lobby first: put gems into Walk Speed (twice), then Bag Size and Cash if you have them.
Open the first vents as soon as you load in ($1 each); the leaves you blow in later pay for everything else.
Grasp upgrade on your hand, then clear the porch — the cash boost from that tiny zone (1.32× in the recording) applies to every leaf after it.
Grasp again, then Dexterity, then clear the shed (another boost).
Hold and Dexterity upgrades, then sell a few loads and buy the first bag upgrade.
Press the shed button, clear the garage (third boost), then another Grasp and the second bag upgrade, which is the biggest jump.
Buy the $29.99 leaf blower and blow the front yard and court into the vents you opened in step 2.

Radex Tips summarises the same logic: get the blower as soon as you can, upgrade its Power, Width and Spread, push leaves into big piles, and move whole piles to the nearest vent.

Zone-by-zone speed notes (The House)

Front yard and court: one pile, one vent. Do not forget the small court behind the yard.
Rooftop: blow everything down into a yard vent rather than picking it up.
Pool: unlock the vent inside the pool (2¢ a leaf), push the leaves in, and note the zone refills once.
Maze path and farm: both refill once; buy the cheapest blower tiers first, then the rest.
Farm: save $100 for the Molotov sold near the front-yard vent once the farm is done.
Basement: no collection vent. Blow both waves into one corner and throw the Molotov; it goes on cooldown rather than disappearing, so buy a second for wave two. Hand-picking works but is slower.

Tool choice per situation

Situation	Use
Open yards, long paths, big piles with a vent nearby	Leaf blower
Tiny rooms, corners, fences, pumpkins	Hand (with Grasp/Hold upgrades)
First two dollars of a round	Rake, if at all
Basement	Molotov

The leaf blower’s weakness is corners: leaves wedge against walls and fences. Angle the blower along the wall rather than into it, or pick the stragglers up by hand (ViewSIM).

Skip these

Rake upgrades after you own the blower. ViewSIM calls the rake “the only one I don’t really upgrade”.
Dragging piles to a far vent. Later vents pay more, but walking time costs more than the extra cent.
Auto-clickers. One creator uses one; buying the Hold upgrade does the same job legitimately.

With a bot deployed the early minutes shrink further; see the bots table. For the 20-minute version of this route, read the Impossible mode guide.
