No Stupid Questions

Racoons clean their food.

"Wipe" is a bit of a stretch and a bit specific when it comes to animal behavior, but many animals do clean their food or clean their living quarters in a variety of ways.

In addition to the other examples already given, I'll toss Eusocial Insects into the ring. This includes groups like bees and ants that live collectively in colonies. For example, honeybees will clean their colony's comb to keep it free of debris. Leaf cutter ants depend on a specific type of fungus that they cultivate for food, and they spend a lot of effort keeping their farmed good nice and sanitary.

My cat wipes the condensation off windows so she can look out.

Dogs get ready for bed by clearing their sleeping area or arranging to their liking.

Cats will 100% "wipe off" a place to sleep or shit or be adorable little assholes. If something is in their way, they will move it out of the way. Same with brushing dirt/dust/litter out of the way

Snow is a special case because it is cold and wet. Moving the snow out of the way will still leave them with a cold and wet place to sleep.

maybe Birds of Paradise

They carefully weed, groom, and remove any debris from their courtship grounds to ensure a spotless area for their performances. This ensures that the females are not distracted by dirt and debris, allowing the males to show off their dazzling colors and elaborate dances without interruption.

I couldn't think of something right away, but this might fit

I'd also look into orangutans. I don't know for sure, but they seem to learn and mimic human behaviour quite a bit. So even if they didn't do so by themselves, they may copy the person in pushing snow away

not gonna lie I thought this was gonna be about shit

There is a primate that washes their fruit off and it is a learned behavior. They have taught all the other in the species to do the same thing.

I've seen a video of an orangutan wiping stuff off with a cloth.

Deer will "scrape" a patch of dirt clear of leaves, sticks, and snow, and then use several types of scent markers to mark the area.

It's a minor misconception that they use this area to sleep; they don't scrape their beds.

it's because of clothes. All animals wearing clothes will do this.

Here's an animal wiping something:

My dog would like a word.

Edit: And that word is Taylor Swifting.

Cats are known for being pretty clean animals. Their spiky tong helps a lot with that.

Depends on how you define cleaning or wiping. Few animals can actually wipe stuff, but some exhibit cleaning of one sort or another. I'm going to remove self-cleaning and grooming out of the list. You mean cleaning objects or their environment.

The already mentioned raccoon is one example but with food only. If you accept that, then Ibises have also been seen washing toxic frogs before eating them to remove the skin toxins.

I'm half hearted about the bird of paradise example, since that's a mating visual display only... But hey, many birds actually clean the interior of their nests. They pick up their chicks droppings and toss them out. It's not wiping or brushing but it surely is cleaning for the sake of hygiene.

Spiders remove debris from their webs, does that count?

I've never seen cats or dogs brush or wipe stuff away either. Cats may toss or brush away things out of boredom, curiosity or simply to reach whatever is underneath provided it's a few particles and not really digging.

For cleaning like humans do, my money would be on the monkeys though, personally, I haven't seen or heard much about that happening spontaneously in wild or feral monkeys.

Raccoons wash things. Does that count?

Edit: Forgot dogs. Dogs wipe their ass. Usually on the carpet.

my cat "dig" the place they want to sit on. i saw a monkey "wipe" the place it want to sit on
