Into the Weeds: Cleaning with Magic

Cleaning Clothes and People

Divine Purification magic is commonly associated with cleaning.
Purification ●● can remove dust, dirt, sweat, and to a lesser extant odor from garments. Each success rolled will clean about three pieces of clothing or one human sized person's regular get up (shirt, pants, hat, etc).
It can clean people too if they are mostly unclothed, otherwise all the contaminants removed from the person will go into their clothes.
Trying to clean a person and their clothes while the person is wearing the clothes is possible, but at +2 difficulty.
Purification ●●● can remove very heavy filth from people or clothes, such as if someone is covered in tar or manure. Trying to clean a person and their clothes while the person is wearing the clothes is possible, but at +2 difficulty.
This level of Purification magic can also remove stains. The problem is it can sometimes remove more than just the stains. If a garment is dyed, Purification ●●● will remove some of the dye in addition to the offending stain. Unless the caster rolls four or more successes, than they can remove only the stain and not the dye.
If a character wants to remove dye from a garment on purpose, they need to roll four successes to get all of the dye out cleanly, not leaving any blotches on the old garment and even salvaging most the dye into a nearby container.
Purification has no affect on living things. It can remove vermin from people or objects. Purification only targets people or objects, it cannot sweep floors or clean wide areas.
"Household Transmuting" is a First Circle Transmutation spell with a wide variety of laundry cleaning applications. It can mimic Purification ●● easily for removing contaminants. At three successes it can remove stains like Purification ●●● and it doesn't risk leaching out dyes though it cannot deliberately remove dyes either.
Household Transmutation doesn't work well on cleaning people or animals. Raise the difficulty of such efforts by +2.
One general limitation of Household Transmuting is it doesn't remove odors like Purification does.
Household Transmutation can sweep floors and dust shelves but it won't remove the dust, it will move it into a condensed pile.

Magical Vermin Control

Divine Animal magic can take care of lice, fleas and the like from garments, beds and rooms. Animal ●● can summon vermin away, but it only moves the problem elsewhere. Animal ●●● can command vermin to go crawl away (or crawl into a pre-set up death trap).
Arcane Conjuration can move mice and rats away from a location with a basic Summon Swarm spell, but it cannot handle very tiny vermin like ticks, lice, and fleas. Also, once the summon swarm spell wears off, most of the mice or rats will scurry back where they came from. There are higher level Conjuration spells that can remove tiny vermin and/or cause rodents to go away and stay away, but relatively few Conjurers bother to learn these spells because necromancer are far more efficient at vermin removal.
Arcane necromancy has a Second Circle spell called "Vermin Purge" that is by far the most requested spell for necromancers that are not antisocial loners raiding graveyards. It can remove vermin ranging from fleas to rats from a small house with one casting.

Conjured Cleaning Spirits

Arcane conjurers have access to a First Circle Spell called "Summon Assistant." Spirit Theurgists can summon something similar with Spirit ●●●. This summons a little vaguely humanoid spirit that can do various chores. This includes cleaning.
Servant Spirits are industrious and loyal, but they are not any better at cleaning than a loyal human servant is. If given nothing to work with, a spirit ordered to clean will do its best, probably physically shaking the dust out of garments and blankets. A spirit will clean better and faster if it has to buckets of water, blocks of soap, a washboard, brushes, brooms, and the like.
There are more powerful cleaning spirits that do have supernatural cleaning abilities, but theurgists need Spirit ●●●●● to summon these spirits and arcane Conjurers need a (rare) third circle spell to summon them.
There are many legends of Fair Folk or Sprites that are both good at cleaning and willing to help mortals, and they can be summoned by non-spellcasters...as long as you learn and navigate their convoluted rules of etiquette. Helpful fae spirits are notoriously easy to offend and they can trash a house as easily as clean it.
