The Scorecard
A scorecard gets generated for each item, which gives you details about the making of the garment, the shape it’s in, and the effort needed to care for it.
Analysis of fiber composition, weave density, and tactile properties.
Evaluation of seam types, stitching density, and structural integrity.
Inspection of hardware, buttonholes, linings, and finishing techniques.
Assessment of wear, tear, pilling, and potential for restoration.
Decoded maintenance requirements and preservation strategies.
Scored using evidence, not opinion.
Every item is evaluated against a standardized rubric grounded in textile science, apparel safety data, tailoring best practices, and hands-on analysis of real garments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does cleanseam actually check?
add
We break down every garment across five axes: Fabric, Construction, Detailing, Condition, and Care—giving you a plain-language read on its true value.
Do I need to know about tailoring and fabric types to use it?
add
Not at all. You just snap the photos, and we do the analysis. We run more than 40 checks on every piece and turn the findings into a scorecard you can read at a glance.
Does it work for vintage or secondhand items?
add
Yes. cleanseam is specifically designed to assess wear, fabric integrity, and construction quality regardless of the item’s age.
Do I have to pay to use it?
add
cleanseam is free to use. A scorecard, saving pieces to your closet, and chatting with cleanseam all cost nothing. Paid features add in-depth detail on the checks behind each piece, keeping full scorecards in your closet, and extra questions in the Ask feature.
