DDig & Clean Wiki

Dig & Clean Beginner Guide

Dig & Clean is a Roblox game about finding, digging up, cleaning, and displaying buried treasure. This beginner guide walks you through the controls, the core loop, and the first goals to chase. The official Roblox description says it all: dig up dirty junk and buried treasure, spray it clean, hunt for the rarest items, show off your best finds in your own museum, and buy better shovels and spray bottles.

The Core Loop

  1. Detect: Hold your detector and follow the signal. Colorful or strong signals usually mean higher rarity.
  2. Dig: Switch to your shovel and dig where the signal peaks. Power shortens the dig meter.
  3. Clean: Carry the dirty item to a Workstation, press the action prompt, and spray it clean.
  4. Display or Sell: Add rare items to your museum. Sell the rest to fund upgrades.

What to Focus On First

  • Complete the tutorial if the game offers one.
  • Sell junk items to buy your first shovel upgrade.
  • Keep one of each rare item for your museum.
  • Check active codes for starter boosts.
  • Upgrade shovel power before anything else.

Common Beginner Mistakes

  • Holding onto every item. Junk takes up bag space and slows progress.
  • Ignoring the museum. Display bonuses add up over time.
  • Upgrading shovels too early or too evenly. Focus on the next big power tier.
  • Buying sprays before a better shovel or detector.
  • Traveling to Shipwreck Cove before you can dig its rare spots.

First-Hour Goals

  1. Learn the Workstation location near your museum.
  2. Fill every empty museum slot with whatever you find.
  3. Sell duplicates and junk to afford the Wood or Metal Shovel.
  4. Save toward the Amethyst Shovel and Platinum Detector targets.
  5. Watch for stronger detector signals — they lead to better rewards.
