Solflare's Built-in Cleanup vs a Dedicated Solana Cleaner

Solflare, one of the major Solana wallets, now includes a built-in cleanup feature. That's genuinely good for the ecosystem — more people will discover that rent is reclaimable at all. So when is the native option enough, and when does a dedicated cleaner make sense? Here's an honest take.

What a native wallet cleanup does well

It's convenient and trustworthy: it's right inside a wallet you already use, you don't connect to anything new, and for closing obvious empty token accounts it does the job. If you just want to tidy up and grab the easy rent, it's a fine first step.

Where a dedicated cleaner adds value

• Coverage. Native cleanups tend to focus on standard empty accounts. Dedicated tools also surface Token-2022 accounts, worthless NFTs and dust — often where the bigger rent hides.
• Check before you commit.A free scan by wallet address (no connection) lets you see the number first, even on a wallet you haven't opened in months.
• One transaction. Good cleaners bundle everything into a single signed transaction instead of many.

The honest bottom line

Use whatever you trust — both should be non-custodial, and you should always sign yourself. If you want the maximum reclaimable SOL (including Token-2022 and spam NFTs) and a free preview before connecting, that's what a dedicated cleaner like SolHealth is built for. If you just want a quick tidy inside your wallet, the native tool is a reasonable start — then scan with a dedicated tool to catch what's left.
