Mr. Clean, Mr. Clean dies at 92

posted by songspeak | 10.02.08 | permalink |

housepeters House Peters Jr., a television actor who was the original Mr. Clean for Procter and Gamble, died Wednesday at the age of 92.

mr_clean1 In the 1950s and 1960s, Peters Jr. played the bald-headed, hoop-earring wearing, grime-fighting Mr. Clean to advertise the household cleaner with the trademark jingle, “Mr. Clean, Mr. Clean. Mr. Clean gets rid of dirt and grime and grease in just a minute, Mr. Clean will clean your whole house and everything that’s in it. Mr. Clean Mr. Clean. Mr. Clean.”

In his television career, Peters Jr. appeared in shows like “Perry Mason“, “The Twilight Zone“, and “Gunsmoke“.

The animated version of the Mr. Clean image is still used today.
