Why need cleaning? I thought btc is anon network, and they better can track you only when you exchange btc's to your lr or other cashout. And better use vpn or vps for ip-hidding or mule-drop  Cool.

Although addresses are not tied to a name or person, when you send out a transaction, your IP address can be tied to it. If you search for your IP on blockchain.info, you will probably see quite a few of your transactions, and of course geolocation could prove useful to people here too. Using SOCKSv5 over TOR makes it so that others you are trading with won't know your IP address, nor can an ISP (who knows your name from your IP) tie you to your addresses.
