Ranking the Top 10 Cleanest Countries in the World

Let’s be honest — Australia’s clean, but we’ve got some competition. From the snowy streets of Scandinavia to the spotless sidewalks of Singapore, here are the countries leading the global hygiene game in 2025.

🏆 1. Switzerland

The Swiss treat public spaces like their living rooms. Streets are pristine, trains smell like eucalyptus, and littering feels like a personal betrayal.

💡 Fun fact: Zurich spends over $250M AUD a year on city sanitation.

🧼 2. Singapore

You don’t chew gum here — not because you don’t want to, but because it’s banned. With strict cleaning laws, spotless malls, and army-like public cleaning crews, Singapore is a model of modern sanitation.

🏔️ 3. Norway

Clean air, clean streets, and even cleaner public bathrooms. Norway’s environmental consciousness directly translates to its public spaces.

🚆 4. Japan

From Shinkansen trains to ramen bars, Japan’s obsession with hygiene is legendary. People carry personal trash bags. Kids clean their schools. It's cultural, not contractual.

🧽 5. Finland

Sauna-loving, snow-shoveling legends. Even city maintenance crews in Helsinki polish street signs. Yes, street signs.

🐦 6. Germany

Recycling is practically a religion here. Streets are swept. Parks are maintained. Clean is part of the national identity.

🏙️ 7. New Zealand

Aussie’s clean cousin. Kiwis love green space and minimalism — which also means fewer messes and more respect for public areas.

💧 8. Canada

Snow = slush = mess. But Canadian cities still keep walkways spotless, and their eco-friendly initiatives are world-class.

🧴 9. South Korea

From skincare to sidewalks, Korea keeps it clean. Public toilets in Seoul put some luxury hotels to shame.

🇦🇺 10. Australia

Yeah, we made the list — just barely. Coastal cities like Perth and Brisbane are immaculate. But Sydney? Still got some work to do, mates.

📉 Graffiti, nightlife zones, and neglected commercial strips drag us down. That’s why Ultrix exists.
