  In Australia we have a product that’s been around for ages called “Mr Muscle”. Not sure if it’s the same product theough as there’s no bald dude.

  Jess I’m pretty sure that Mr Muscle is a different product.
  Here in Ireland and in the UK Mr Clean is actually called Flash http://www.pgprof.com/uk/html/uk_ki_flashcleanerspray.shtml

  Yeah, Mr. Muscle is a different product. It’s too bad that Mr. Clean doesn’t make an appearance in Flash.

  The Italian translation “Mastro Lindo”, in Brazil is a slang that means “beautiful dick” (dick as in penis).

  As some other readers have mentioned, Don Limpio used to be called Mr. Proper in Spain. What they fail to mention is that sometimes bald men are still humurously still called Mr. Proper over here…

  Look at this picture of Britney Spears as Mrs Clean:

  LOL.

  It says: “Mrs. Clean, B.S. makes my nose happy”.

  seems he only does it in your part of the world. only thing I can think of, have you ever tried to snap your fingers if they’re greasy? doesn’t work too well. so either showing it’s really really clean, or showing how quick it is to clean with Mr. Clean.
