In order to clean this dataset, adequate tools and techniques has to be used, and many tools are emerging everyday. While some of these tools are good, some of these tools can be dangerous to sensitive data. This research aims at helping researchers and organizations make fast decision on the right tool for data cleaning. We analysis some of the current data clean- ing tools and techniques and come up which tool will be useful based on different scenario.
