cleaning mud

i know you need mud to farm sometimes, but other times its irritating. My suggestion is that dwarves clean mud only off of smoothed/engraved stone and constructed floors.

Perhaps a "clean" designation?

that sounds like it would work, but it somehow sounds strange to have a designation solely to remove mud.

Well is most likely would also clean blood,vomit and gore off of your floors and walls too.

This has my most avid support, as long as it includes removing mud, not just from floors, but from objects. My lovely Tower Cap Forest is not lovely, it's muddy.

Hello!

Although I have been staying away from water since surface farming got nice, I like this idea.

And I do not find anything odd about having a designation telling the dwarves to clean a certain area.

"I want this entrance area shining and polished ASAP!" does sound like a reasonable command.

The idea of adding other things like blood and vomit also seems reasonable, although vomit may cause problems if your cleaning staff for the entrance area suffers from cave adaptation themselves ...

The Clean-designition could even be extended to Objects like that spidersilk-socks i got from the goblins in the last siege.

I've never seen a forest that didn't have mud or dirt.

A clean designation would be a good idea, though. There are some places which you just don't give a damn if they're dirty, and there are some which I want spotless, like meeting rooms and anything with an engraving.

So... it would be higher priority that the automatic cleaning, it could target mud, which isn't otherwise considered dirt, and it would extend to items which get coated in sullies.
I think the item clean would have to wait - it's been on the list as long as sullies themselves, something must be in the way.

Yeah, everything is in the way. The list of things to add is horrifyingly huge!

A cleaning designation would be awesome. I hate having to wait for the season change to be rid of the massive sea of blood and vomit after my champion axedwarves have a sparring sessions with the goblins.

I completely support this. After a small miscalculation several masterwork engravings in my Royal Throne Room got a little water on them from the artificial waterfall I installed. I'd really, really like for them to stop being "Muddy Detailed Marble". :(

Better yet, mud ought to dry up by itself after a while, similar to how water does. It really doesn't make sense for a well ventilated room to stay muddy for years on end. Muddy brooks should clear up after some time as well.
