Most rooms people actually photograph aren't styled for the photo. There's a charging cable across the floor, a stack of post on the side table, a poster left over from a previous tenant. None of that is what you're trying to redesign, it's just in the way of seeing the room underneath.
What Cleanup actually does
Paint over the thing you want gone, the cable, the box, the poster, whatever it is, and it's erased, with the space behind it filled in to match the rest of the room. Not blurred, not blacked out: the wall, floor or surface underneath is reconstructed to look like it was never there.
This runs before or independently of a full redesign. You can use Cleanup on its own if all you want is a tidier photo of the room as it actually is, useful for listings, for insurance documentation, for just seeing the room without the clutter your eye has learned to filter out but a photo hasn't.
How it's different from Replace
Cleanup removes something and fills the gap with more of what's already there, more wall, more floor, more of the empty surface. [Replace](/app/replace) does the second half of that job: paint over an object and describe what should take its place instead, a different sofa, a new rug, anything. Same paint-over interaction, different outcome: one erases, one swaps.
Both work the same way underneath, the tool identifies what's under your brush strokes (you'll see a quick "Looks like: floor lamp" confirmation before you generate, so you know it read the object correctly) and only touches that masked area. Everything else in the photo stays untouched.
Why this matters before a full redesign
If you're planning to redesign a room and it's currently full of things you're going to move or get rid of anyway, cleaning those out first gives the redesign a clearer room to work with, one credit to tidy, one credit to restyle, rather than asking a single redesign to both ignore the clutter and reimagine the room around it.
[Try Cleanup on a photo](/app/cleanup), paint over what you want gone, and see the room without it in about 10 seconds.
