Cleanliness

Cleanliness is both the abstract state of being clean and free from germs, dirt, trash, or waste, and the habit of achieving and maintaining that state. Cleanliness is often achieved through cleaning. Cleanliness is a good quality, as indicated by the aphorism: "cleanliness is next to godliness", and may be regarded as contributing to other ideals such as 'health' and 'beauty'.
