Free Encyclopedia Cleanliness
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cleanliness is both the abstract state of being clean and free from dirt, and the process of achieving and maintaining that state.
Cleanliness may be endowed with a moral quality, as indicated by the aphorism "cleanliness is next to godliness,"[1] and may be regarded as contributing to other ideals such as health and beauty.

Whereas purity is usually a quality of an individual or substance, cleanliness has a social dimension, or implies a system of interactions.[2] "Cleanliness," observed Jacob Burckhardt, "is indispensable to our modern notion of social perfection."[3] A household or workplace may be said to exhibit cleanliness, but not ordinarily purity; cleanliness also would be a characteristic of the people who maintain cleanness or prevent dirtying.
On a practical level, cleanliness is thus related to hygiene and disease prevention. Washing is one way of achieving physical cleanliness, usually with water and often some kind of soap or detergent. Procedures of cleanliness are of utmost importance in many forms of manufacturing.
As an assertion of moral superiority or respectability, cleanliness has played a role in establishing cultural values in relation to social class, humanitarianism, and cultural imperialism.[4]
