Which word is better in Italian in the context "Smart Cleaning"?

If both are ok, may we use "Pulizia astuta"?

Thank you in advance, Tanya

    Some people would probably use “smart” in Italian too (thinking about smartphones and the like), but I'd go with intelligente as in the answers.

    Which context? You didn't really write much about the use of this expression

Use

Pulizia intelligente

This is how we translate smart in the context of tech.

"Astuta" is for a person or animal, it is the classical attribute of a fox and I think that it would translate to "clever" (I'm no native English speaker though)

    I'd translate "astuto" with "clever" or "cunning" maybe

In this context I would go for "Pulizia intelligente", since intelligente is more general and polyhedral.

Astuta is more like furba generally referred to the proverbial fox or a particular clever person.
