Crime Scene Cleaner Achievement Guide: Scrubbing Your Way to 100%

You thought getting brain matter out of a shag carpet was the hard part, but unlocking all 65 achievements is where the real nightmare begins.

First-person gameplay screenshot from Crime Scene Cleaner showing a player using a mop and soapy bucket to clean neon blue and purple splatters in a messy living room.

I have spent an ungodly amount of time in this game. Crime Scene Cleaner throws ten grueling missions at you in Act 1 and follows it up with five more in Act 2. That is a lot of blood. If you are a completionist, you already know the pain of missing a single discarded soda can or a microscopic drop of plasma tucked behind a sofa. Getting a perfect score on every map is a mental endurance test.

But apparently, standard janitorial perfection is not enough for you. You want the elusive 100 percent completion. You want every trophy this dark world has to offer. I respect that level of masochism. Earning every achievement requires you to act less like a discrete cleaner and more like a chaotic snooping raccoon. You will be stealing money, hacking safes, breaking ancient relics, and throwing toasters into bathtubs.

I have mapped out exactly how to get every single achievement without pulling your hair out. Grab your sponge and pay attention.

Story Progression and The Perfectionist Grind

You are going to unlock a massive chunk of these achievements just by doing your job. Every mission has a baseline achievement for finishing it. But if you want to save yourself a massive headache, you should aim for a perfect score on your first run. A perfect score means zero blood left, every piece of trash binned, all evidence secured, and every knocked over chair put back in its exact original spot.

The Job Requirements

Knock these out to prove you actually know how to hold a mop.

Achievement How To Unlock & My Advice
This Is How We Do It Wash off your first blood stain. Impossible to miss unless you refuse to play the game.
Standard Mission Clears You get an achievement for simply finishing every mission in the game. That includes Bad Call, Trial By Blood, Toxic Love, Short Circuit, Italian Job, Affair with Death, Friendly Fire, Party's Over, Modern Art, and Call in Dead. Act 2 brings Things Left Behind, Amber Alert, Secluded Retreat, Circle of Friends, and Town Too Small.
The Perfect Score Variants Every single map listed above has a secondary achievement tied to getting a 100 percent perfect score. Be incredibly thorough. Use your sponge around fragile items to avoid disaster.
The Nightmare Variants Once you know a map, you have to beat it on Nightmare Mode. Every map has a Nightmare achievement. Do not try this until you have upgraded your gear.
Perfect Crime & Sweet Dreams These two are the granddaddies of the progression list. Perfect Crime pops when you get a 100 percent score on all 10 base missions. Sweet Dreams unlocks when you finish all nightmare missions.
Smooth Operator Complete any mission without breaking items or making new stains.

Mission Specific Secrets and Easter Eggs

This is where the game gets creative. The developers hid a massive amount of interactive puzzles and secret rooms across the campaign. You are going to have to go out of your way to find these. I suggest tackling these easter eggs during a casual run rather than sweating over them while attempting a perfect Nightmare clear.

Hidden Objectives

Follow these steps exactly to find the weirdest stuff Kovalsky has to deal with.

Achievement How To Unlock & My Advice
Strawberry Fields Forever In Bad Call, go through Apartment 23's window and drop the ladder. Find the key on the nearby box, unlock the gate, climb the fire escape to the Hidden Apartment, grab the statue key, and unlock the final iron gate to steal the fertilizer.
Basket Case Also in Bad Call. Out that same window from Apartment 23, look for a door with a heart. Sink a shot on the basketball court. If your aim is garbage, wait until you unlock the step ladder to cheat the shot.
Call Me Maybe Start Trial By Blood. Big Jim calls you while you are in the elevator. Just ignore him. Stand there in silence for a minute and the achievement is yours.
Gold On The Ceiling In Trial By Blood, go to the neon tanning room to get the W024 card. Open locker 24 in the corridor to get M034. Go to the Men's Locker Room to open locker 34 and grab the VIP card. Hack the secret keypad near the tanning room and scan the VIP card to enter the hidden pool area.
Get Lucky In Toxic Love, find the vertical picture frame between two lamps on the ground floor. Open it, then open the second frame inside. Move the chair, hack the keypad, and pop the safe.
Electric Feel In Toxic Love, open that same hidden picture frame and flip the fuse box. Grab the toaster from the kitchen, carry it upstairs to the bathroom, and chuck it into the bathtub.
Another Brick in the Wall In Short Circuit, head upstairs and touch the wall lamp at the end of the hall. It opens a secret wall panel.
Hail To The King In Short Circuit, grab the key from the upstairs wooden table. Go downstairs, open the white double doors to the ritual room, enter the side room, and watch the cat video on the TV until the pop up appears.
Treasure In Italian Job, enter the pizzeria. Go to the room with the dartboard and move the boxes to reveal a trapdoor. Find the key in the kitchen computer desk drawer. Open the trapdoor to find the mob gambling den.
Rock and Roll All Nite In Italian Job, go out the back door into the alley. Pick up a chair, place it near the junk piled against the wall, and vault over to discover a secret concert venue.
Money For Nothing In Affair with Death, head down to the basement. Move the boxes in the corner, crouch through the gap, and collect all the low value cash stashed inside.
Pyramid Song In Friendly Fire, find the bathroom off the main living room. Look for a carefully stacked pyramid of toilet paper rolls. Punch it.
Single Ladies In Party's Over, head left from your car towards the wooden houses. Look for yellow and black balloons near a bush. Walk through the foliage to find a rather tragic marriage proposal scene.
Rage Against the Machine In Modern Art, go past the dinosaur fossil and enter the blue door. Look through the glass ceiling to memorize the colored TV screen sequence. Navigate the glass maze, input that exact color sequence on the corner monitors, and claim the katana from the secret wall.
Lookin' Out My Back Door In Call in Dead, go to the Control Room. Stack boxes or use your ladder to climb onto the lockers. Hop onto the vent pipes, smash the vent cover on the right, and drop down into Zack's hidden room.

Janitorial Mischief, Skills, and Collectibles

You are an independent contractor. That means you can afford to mess around on company time. Sometimes you just need to break a priceless vase to blow off some steam.

Make sure you are constantly stealing loose cash. The Treasure Hunter skill is an absolute lifesaver here because it highlights valuables. You are going to need a lot of stolen cash to unlock the massive skill trees anyway.

The Cleanup Crew Checklist

The grindy stuff you will probably unlock by accident while playing.

Achievement How To Unlock & My Advice
Who Let The Dogs Out & Happy Together Go home after a job and find Dexter the dog. Pet him once for the first achievement. Pet him 15 times in a row for the second. Good boy.
What I've Done Destroy 30 objects. Grab your mop and start swinging wildly in a map full of glass and ceramics.
Supermassive Black Hole Pick up 100 pieces of trash. If you are doing perfect runs, you will get this incredibly early.
Oops!...I Did It Again Tip your bucket over 15 times. Make sure the bucket actually has dirty water in it. Kicking an empty bucket does absolutely nothing.
While My Guitar Gently Weeps Find a guitar and interact with it. The easiest one is in Apartment 23 during the Bad Call mission. Spam the interact button a few times to make sure it registers.
Bóbr k*rw@! Break two wooden planks with one punch. Line them up carefully in Bad Call or Italian Job and let your fist fly.
Money, Money, Money Steal $50,000. Open every drawer. Check every safe. Rob these dead people blind to fund your equipment upgrades.
Down by the River Flush a toilet in every single level. If you miss one, you can load into the map, flush the toilet, and then abandon the mission. The game saves the flush.
Audio Collectibles You need to hunt down all music items. Juke Box Hero requires all cassettes in Act 1. All Night Hero requires all music discs in Nightmare Mode. We Are The Sound demands all CD/DVDs hidden in Act 2.
Skill Tree Maxing You need to fully unlock all four skill trees. Take On Me is for General, Toxic Garbage Island is for Tools, Wash It All Away is for the Power Washer, and Rain Formerly Known As Purple is for Water skills. Grind out those perfect scores to get the points.
Sharp-Dressed Man Open your tools menu and equip any skin for every single tool you own. A little customization never hurts when you are waist deep in grime.
