I have heard this phrase most of my life. Although it is not in the bible, many believe it was coined by John Wesley, the co-founder of Methodism, who often emphasized cleanliness in his preaching.
In this shot, a sea otter grooms and examines its…well…I have no idea what it is looking at or cleaning as I do not know if it is male of female. We just have to assume that it did a good job since it now has its nose in danger close proximity.

“Cleanliness becomes more important when godliness is unlikely” – P.J. O’Rourke (American satirist).
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 18th of August is "soap foam". Even before the advent of the Coronavirus pandemic, I was always a fastidious handwasher: something drilled into my daily routine by my grandparents when I was child. Therefore, to whip up some delicate foam from my current bar of lily-of-the-valley hand soap was a pleasure to do for the sake of the theme! I hope you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile.

Such is the cleanliness and owners pride in the properties of this ancient German town that in my opinion they look a little bit too polished and new. Maybe a little like a film setting. Yet in reality the town dates from 12th century with most off the old timbered buildings being of 17th and 18th century build.
Online sources show the term "spick and span" originates from a 16th-century expression, "spick and span new," which is a nautical term literally meaning "as new as a freshly made spike and a wood chip"
ENGLISH
Agerola is known as "little Switzerland" for its beautiful mountain landscape, cool air, and alpine-like streets and cleanliness. This quaint village lets you spend your vacation in a relaxing mountain-like setting without forgoing the coastal pleasures, like boat trips around the divine Amalfi Coast. It includes a few hamlets under its domain, including Bomerano, Pianillo, and Camporra.
It has early Roman origins from the 3rd century BC, settled by refugees coming from San Cipriano Picentino, later conquered by the Romans, as witnessed in the numerous finds, like money dated back to the Age of the Caesars. The Romans stayed in Agerola even after the disastrous eruption of 79 AC that destroyed Herculaneum and Pompeii; the catastrophe did not stop the local development and it continued to thrive with activities like the milk production, extolled by Galen (prominent Roman physician and philosopher of Greek origin) in the 2nd century AC. Agerola became a major manufacturer of brickwork and cutlery; the locals were also considered the best ceramists of the coast.
Before the year 1000 the village got rich and famous for breeding silkworms, a trade learned during the long trips in the East. A great Jewish colony promoted the silk manufacture, which continued until the Italian unification in 1821, when sadly it came to a definitive end.
During the Middle Ages, Agerola was famous for the cultivation of a special type of rose: the white "rosaria", used to make refined perfume essences, a flourishing industry until the end of seventeenth-century. In 1844 Agerola passed to the municipality of Naples. The local breed of cattle, called "mucca agerolese", was used in the production of milk, a symbol of Agerola. The gradual impoverishment of the local population and general discontent following the Italian unification caused a backlash with popular uprisings, called brigantaggio, and Agerola became the area's headquarters.
Located just between the glittering coast with a crystalline sea and the uncontaminated lush green of the Park of Lattari Mountains, Agerola offers exceptional outdoors attractions, in the heart of the Amalfi Coast. The lovely mountain landscape, rich in chestnut woods, meadows and orchards, creates a special atmosphere, where the climate is mitigated by the nearby coast. The particular geographical position, gives to Agerola magic places to enjoy stunning views of the Amalfi Coast and the numerous path immersed into the green belt around the village, crossing the slopes where Agerola lies.
Within the municipality of Agerola is Bomerano, the Path of the Gods gateway.
Once there do not miss:
the Park "Colonia Montana": in the area of San Lazzaro with 1.5 hectares of natural beauty. During the fascism era, the natural environment was embellished with a huge central palace, used as summer camp for youths (a "colonia"). The area boasts many arboreal species, too!
Grotta del Biscotto: typical grotto with a special geological rocky conformation that recalls the famous toasted bread (pane biscottato di Agerola). The grotto is part of the lovely Path of the Gods, where you will be able to admire incredible panoramas.
If you are staying in Agerola during Holy Week just before Easter, have a look at the local procession, something intriguing. The so-called 'processione dei Battenti' is celebrated during the Holy Friday: the Battenti were special friars, so called because in ancient times they used to beat their own back with a double hemp rope and dressed a white hood to cover their faces. The locals do perform this ancient tradition, walking all around the village's narrow streets, accompanied with popular and liturgical chants.

I found it 2 years ago in Moscow - chaos at old factory and this great sign: "
KEEP WORKPLACE IN CLEANLINESS AND ORDER"
Description from Second Life Maps:
"This is Waterland, a low-lying meadow area intersected by canals. The small hamlet of three houses is loosely based on the Dutch village of Broek in Waterland. The village was mentioned as early as the second half of the 13th century. It was a popular vacation village for sea captains in the 1600s and was famous for its beauty and cleanliness. It is definitely a place that will charm you!"
Lovely scenary and atmosphere. I'm dutch but haven't visited Broek in Waterland yet. Luckily you can in SL! higly recommended

Of course the high bank buildings are shining perfectly in the sun out there - symbolizing the cleanliness and transparency of banking - while actually the dirt covers the windows of the ordinary, humble life.
But for me this picture unveils where the real dirt is, no matter how much they clean their buildings.

ah! the sublime simple pleasure of freshly cleaned, warm white flanel sheets. it trumps that first handful of hot popcorn, downing a cold brew on a hot summer day, and finishing a book. but in my opinion its slotted behind that first cup of coffee in the morning, a deep playful kiss, and the end of business on friday.
have a great weekend my friends. i hope you all enjoy a few simple pleasures - and take lots of dirty pictures. cheers

Tanzania Safari 2018, Serengeti National Park, Asilia Namiri Plains
Namiri Plains is located an hour and a half's drive due east from the game-rich core of the Serengeti – Seronera. The camp opened in July 2014 in an area that for more than 20 years had been closed to the public. Previously this region had exclusively been used for cheetah conservation and the number of big cats found here – especially lion prides and cheetahs – is astonishing.
Absence of eyesores. The Municipality of Barili, Cebu is different from some other cities and towns in terms of certain aspects of general cleanliness. Practically there is an absence of unsightly posters, advertisement billboards, graffiti and abandoned junks. Open space is utilized for the planting of fruits and forests trees.
Well-maintained drainage and sewerage system. Drainage system in the public market and slaughterhouse and other public places are properly maintained as can be observed during the assessment. There are no garbage or litters inside the canals. Free-flow water is evident during the evaluation. De-clogging of drainage canal is regular and done by maintenance men of municipal government. Store and market stall owners also help prevent the clogging of canals with solid wastes by maintaining the cleanliness of their immediate vicinity.
Presence of well-kept public toilets. Public toilets are generally clean. These can be found practically in all public places. Comfort rooms in the municipal hall were found to be very well maintained and the same is true with those at the market, where the surroundings were planted with ornamental plants. Water is provided in all these comfort rooms.
Clean public market/slaughterhouse. Public market is generally clean, free from garbage and litters. Fish and meat stalls are provided with water for flushing. Garbage receptacles are present where collected wastes materials are place for disposal by the garbage collectors.
On the other hand, the municipal abattoir is well drained and properly maintained. No evident of scattered carcasses trimmings, were present, foul odor inherent to slaughterhouse are reduced to the minimum.
Presence of Trash receptades. Trash receptacles are color-coded. Each set three drums, painted red (for plastics), green (for tin cans and bottles), blue (for leaves, papers etc.). These garbage are collected daily by the two garbage trucks of the LGU.
Presence of Garbage collection and Disposal System. To complement the two garbage trucks that collect the garbage of the town daily, Barili was able to acquire four (4) mechanized grass cutters and shredder machine, which sheds big masses of garbage such as leaves to be decomposed in the compost pit. The decomposed materials can be used as organic fertilizer.
Can you tell I don't like stuff/clutter? :P
If I don't use it regularly, I either give it away or get rid of it. I don't really believe in objectional sentimentality. Or dirtiness!

A damning indictment on the cleanliness of my cooker hob, but nevertheless provided the speckled object I needed for this week’s Macro Monday theme. A 9-image stack, blended in Photoshop, natural light. HMM!
or so I've heard......so if this true how come every time I try this cleanliness thingy my minds still so dirty?? Hahahahaha
On my leisurely walk through the old academic quarter of Groningen, I passed by the building erected in 1883 for the Laboratory of Hygienics once part of the pharmaceutical-medical department. It was built in 1883 and the main doorway boasts this rendition of the goddess of cleanliness and purity, Hygeia. The sculpture is by Emilius A.H. Bourgonjon (1841-1927), a Belgian who worked in The Netherlands.
The inset is of a wonderful Widow's Thrill, a Kalanchoè, that I saw in a shop more or less around the corner. Its whiteness symbol of purity. It's well known that astronauts and cosmonauts are subjected to dire hygienic norms on their flights. And, too, that those stays in far-off space can make one homesick. In 1979 Valery Ryumin (1939-) and Vladimir Lyakov (1941-2018) spent a long time in Salyut 6. Space loneliness weighed heavily on them, and to pick up their spirits a shipment of supplies from Earth also had a Kalanchoè plant. They were so thrilled by it that they named it 'Tree of Life'.
