Mr. Clean

Mr. Clean is a brand name of cleaning products from Procter & Gamble first introduced in 1958. Its mascot is the character Mr. Clean, a well-muscled bald man who cleans things very well.


Mr. Clean is also a derisive term used much in the same manner as "goody two-shoes" or "Boy Scout", describing someone who displays conspicuous morally upstanding behavior. The term is also used by Dick Vitale to describe a basketball play that at first glance appeared to be a foul but, in fact, was not.
