Mr. Clean

Muscular cleaning icon

Mr.

Clean is a brand of household cleaning products, represented by a bald, muscular man in white.

The name extends to anyone or anything spotlessly clean or morally unblemished: He's the Mr. Clean of the department—never a scandal.

The image suggests both physical cleanliness and ethical purity, often used ironically for someone trying too hard to appear virtuous.
