Rank 3: Ratzeputz
Ratzeputz is the perfect everyday helper for all those who dislike cleaning. The cleaning spell can be used for all sorts of cleaning tasks, whether you need to lather, rinse, or scrub something.
Even the stinking sludge from Neville’s plant gets removed by Ginny without a trace using Ratzeputz.
A bit more creatively, James Potter used the incantation. He literally washed Snape’s mouth with soap because he had insulted Lily as a mudblood.
Another practical cleaning spell is Tergeo, which can wipe away liquids, dirt, or grease in a gentler manner. However, since Ratzeputz is a bit more general, it ranks as the best cleaning spell at number 3 on this list.
