CleanerML Repository
This repository is an experiment whether GitHub provides an efficent platform for a community to develop safe and effective system cleaners. If the experiment is successful, BleachBit will provide automated access to this repository to support a wide variety of applications. For more background read the announcement.
CleanerML
CleanerML is a simple yet powerful markup language for writing cleaners. Most of BleachBit's cleaners are written in CleanerML, and you can write your own cleaners in CleanerML too.
You can think of it as writing XML to delete files, but it is more powerful than that.
BleachBit
BleachBit is an open source system cleaner for Windows and Linux.

How to use
In the future automated sync may be as easy as checking one option, but for now you must manually download and copy the files to your personal cleaners directory. The easiest way to find the directory is to open BleachBit, click Help, click System Information, and look for personal_cleaner_dir.
Contents
The directory pending contains cleaners that are waiting for someone to verify they are safe and effective.
