Cleanliness is Next to Godliness -- Mr. Clean Dies

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.

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.

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.

I normally never agree with you TMZ in regards to your lack of sympathy, but I must say this is hysterical! I'm sure he and his family got a kick out of the attention he received for being "Mr. Clean." I would bet that even though his family is mourning their loss they could see the sense of humor in this. He did live a long and prosperous life.

Really?:  1229 days ago

Hey # 9, you're pretty funny...Not ok to make fun of the dead, but ok to degrade (or try to degrade) someone by calling them a Jew? Guess what - you're a dumb ass!
