R.I.P.
Cleanliness is Next to Godliness -- Mr. Clean Dies

Posted Oct 2nd 2008 9:20AM by TMZ Staff

Mr. Clean has gone off to that big sanitized house in the sky.

House Peters Jr., the actor that played the original Mr. Clean in TV commercials, died of ammonia pneumonia on Wednesday. He was 92.

In the '50s and '60s, Peters became famous for playing the household cleaning product's bald muscular hoop-earing clad spokesperson. The Castro would never be the same.

Peters is survived by his wife, three adult children and four grandchildren.

2. Once again, TMZ demonstrates their insensitivity at somebody's death by making a stupid joke - in this case, the "ammonia/pneumonia" joke. You guys are shameless.

10. TMZ, you are sick and disrespectful. At least stick to making fun of people who are alive. I hope this comes back to bite all the staff in the ass. Shame on you all! I guess you'll all do/say anything to get another dollar in your pocket...even if it means to make you all look stupid and shallow.

13. I laughed at the ammonia thing, but I disapprove. Anyway, do you have a photograph of the gentleman? I'm curious now.. I always liked Mr. Clean. Strong, yet sensitive.

14. This is the first time I have been to this site and Levin is a disquisting individual. I'm Jewish, and he is the kind of Jew who gives the rest of us a bad reputation. Levin.....YOU SUCK...AND YOU KNOW WHAT YOU SUCK.
