How to Clean Animals in Starsand Island

To clean animals in Starsand Island, you have to:

Buy the "Brush" blueprint for 150 Gold at Green Pasture Ranch
Craft a brush
Equip the brush and approach an animal that needs cleaning
Press the required button to clean the animal (left mouse button on PC)

Once you clean an animal, their happiness will immediately go up, and the happier an animal is, the better quality resources they produce. So you'll want to regularly clean your animals (and keep them well-fed) if you want to produce those high-quality materials consistently.

You can only clean an animal if they have the "Messy" label. You'll know they are "Messy" by viewing an animal's stats, or when a brush bubble appears above an animal's head.

Starsand Island Brush Recipe

Here's what you need to craft a Brush in Starsand Island:

2 Softwood
2 Wool

Softwood is acquired by chopping down small trees like Weeping Figs, or purchasing it from Zerine's General Store with Gold — and you can get Wool from keeping (and feeding) Rabbits in a Rabbit Hutch. If you're opting to purchase Softwood, Zerine's General Store is located on the southwestern side of the main town in Starsand Island, just across the bridge from your starting house.

Once you're ready to make a Brush with these materials, just head to any Worktable. Handily, you don't actually need to have the materials in your inventory to craft anything, as Starsand Island uses materials from both your backpack and Storage Boxes while in the crafting menu.
