Clean Styles
Connect Clean Styles with Webflow to find, merge, and organize duplicate CSS classes directly inside Webflow, keeping your class structure clean and maintainable.
How to integrate Clean Styles with Webflow
As Webflow projects grow, duplicate CSS classes pile up under different names. This increases CSS file size, slows maintenance, and makes handoffs harder. Clean Styles addresses this by identifying and merging those duplicates directly inside Webflow.
The only way to set up your Clean Styles Webflow integration is by installing the Clean Styles app from the Webflow Apps Marketplace. There are no embed codes, external APIs, or automation platform connections involved. Clean Styles does not currently offer an external API or automation-platform integrations.
Use the Clean Styles app
Install Clean Styles from the Webflow Apps Marketplace. Once authorized, the app runs as a panel inside Webflow and scans your project's CSS classes for duplicates. The workflow covers detection, review, merging, and optional bulk renaming, all without leaving Webflow.
To install the app:
- Go to the Clean Styles app listing or search for "Clean Styles" in the Apps panel inside Webflow
- Click "Add to site"
- Select the Workspaces or sites where you want to install the app
- Click "Authorize app"
- Open Clean Styles from the Apps panel inside Webflow to start scanning your project
What you can build
Clean Styles gives you a cleaner CSS foundation to build on. The app works the same way across any type of Webflow project: scan for duplicate classes, merge them, and organize what's left.
Here are a few things you can build on top of a deduplicated class structure:
- Audit-ready client handoff sites: Run Clean Styles on a portfolio site or corporate website before delivering it to a client. Merging duplicate classes produces a deduplicated style panel that new developers or client teams can maintain without sorting through redundant entries.
- Multi-collaborator agency projects: On a multi-page marketing site where several designers contributed sections, use Clean Styles to identify and merge duplicate styles created under different names. This reduces the CSS clutter that builds up during collaborative work.
- Performance-focused marketing sites: Clean up a landing page or campaign microsite by detecting and merging redundant styles. Reducing CSS file size can contribute to faster page loads, though the impact varies by project.
- Design system starter projects: Before building out a UI kit or component library from a cloned template, run Clean Styles to deduplicate the inherited class structure. Starting with a clean foundation is easier than carrying over duplicate styles from the source.
Each of these workflows uses the same core action: detect duplicates, merge them, and optionally rename classes for consistency.
Frequently asked questions
Install Clean Styles from the Webflow Apps Marketplace. Click "Add to site," select your Workspace or site, and click "Authorize app." The app appears in the Apps panel inside Webflow. No configuration is needed after installation.
The merge operation iterates through every page and element in your project to apply class changes. Its speed depends on how much content your project contains. This is expected behavior on larger sites. Plan for extended merge times on projects with hundreds of pages or thousands of styles.
Yes. Clean Styles includes a toggle for component-aware merging. When enabled, the app enters component definitions, updates elements, and exits cleanly. When disabled, elements inside components are skipped. Keep this toggle off until you're ready to update styles inside component definitions.
No. Merges are permanent within the Webflow project. Back up your project before running any merge operations. Review the preview and logs for each merge to verify changes before confirming.
The app does not collect or store personal data. It does not track user behavior or project information and operates entirely within the Webflow environment without transmitting data externally.
Description
Clean Styles is a free Webflow app that scans your project for duplicate CSS classes and lets you merge them into unified styles. Built by Webflow developer Yar Al Roshidi, the app runs entirely inside Webflow. You don't need to set up external accounts or paste any custom code. All actions happen within your Webflow workspace. Clean Styles is useful for teams and agencies managing large sites where style bloat accumulates over time from multiple collaborators.
