We are exceptionally clean,
Our streets are kept clean by an army of droids who collect litter, maintain our parks and keep everything clean, it will take a maximum of 30 seconds from a piece of litter hitting the ground for a droid to pick it up and dispose of it.
Garbage collection is done on a daily basis by a droid truck which empties the rubbish bins of every house and the public litter bins on the streets in the early morning. So there is no unsightly or foul smelling garbage anywhere in sight in our cities.
We also have a public bath culture where citizens go to the baths every morning and evening to have a bath and to catch up with friends, bathing is a social occasion in Novus Niciae.
And our clothing and homes and businesses are cleaned by droids every night while we sleep so our clothing and houses and businesses are always clean and tidy.

we like an environment of succinctness without excessive clutter and feel that littering violates everyone's civil liberties.

Kawaiians are pretty obsessive about cleanliness, as it's considered a religious requirement for our people to be clean before the Cute One. Kawaiian church law is loaded with rules and regulations about washing one's body, permitted and prohibited foods, and instructions about "clean" and "unclean" objects and how to handle them. (For example, money is considered "unclean", therefore a Kawaiian must wash their hands after handling currency.)

The upshot of all this is that Kawaiians have some of the highest standards of personal hygiene in the world, which explains part of their reservations with dealing with foreigners, especially ones from cultures with more relaxed standards.

Most Constarusians are generally very clean. Though they are very busy, most can find the time to pick up after themselves and keep their apartment tidy. (But certainly, not everyone does this and some people just leave their apartments a disaster.)

Citizens do have to keep themselves clean, however. A neat and clean appearance is pretty much vital if one wants to be employed in Constarus. (Employers have the ability to fire someone if they look unkempt... So this has resulted in a very appearance-obsessed workforce. One can see many employees frantically trying to get stains out of their suits before work, acting as if their life depended on it.)

Littering on government property is a crime punishable by heavy fine, as is chewing gum or smoking in public. On private property, a lot of the Federation's citizens like to equate cleanliness with civility and humanity. A citizen with a poorly kept house or residence is frowned upon, even to the point where at times he may be reprimanded by his parents, co-workers or boss as being un-nationalistic.

Dagnians bathe themselves at least once a day. Keeping houses clean from dirt and garbage is a major priority, but Dagnians are packrats, so homes are often cluttered with semi-useful junk. Streets are clean as it is seen as a matter of civic pride to not throw your trash in the street.

Physical cleanliness is very useful as it's perceived as helping "purge the body of tiny creatures which might cause your body harm". Warmer water is considered ideal, but not as easily available due to the overall inconvenience of having to bring it to a boil and wait a few minutes first.

But even more important is spiritual purity. Not associating with the ritually unclean Immunt (Especially for the Eteri) is of the utmost importance. As well as not touching precious gems, metals or Tools of Physical Harm for the Eteri.

If this is too ridiculous for you, you might want to opt out of RPing with me.

Cleanliness is next to galtliness.

Meridians place a high priority on maintaining proper hygene, and on disposing properly of trash. We have to live with each other in vacuum sealed domed cities, after all.

We bathe every day, sometimes twice. We also have bathrooms that allow us to use water to clean up well after needed bio-breaks.

We can survive in almost any environment, be it sterile or plagued by every toxin known to man. Thus, cleanliness is not a concern unless if it's to sterilize the places where tourists may visit.

keeping clean is important, as a result 90% of Aurorans shower daily.

Public spas are also common place, these are usually heated pools under glass covers, though there are a few outdoor ones, yes outdoor heated bathing pools in the arctic!

It's pretty important, example being that in the locations where garbage can usually be seen in piles, people promptly pick them up with a levitation device and throw them into the closest rubbish bin they know of. The reasons being that the people are pretty aesthetic-minded, along with the prevention of diseases being spread by the rubbish itself should any unsuspecting person pick it up by hand. However, if the amount of rubbish is minimal, then most people simply ignore it and walk by.

A survey by the University of Neue Bayreuth and a study from Platzetorf University indicate that showering once a day, washing one's hands after going to the bathroom or before handling food intended for another's consumption (though not necessarily for personal consumption), and a quick brush of the teeth is an acceptable minimum for most Frenequestans as far as cleanliness goes. Bad breath is usually tolerable, and clothing stains are only a nuisance in very formal contexts. Most also consider the ways a person acts "clean" (i.e. not acting like a slob, even though one may look like one) more important than being that way.

Environmental cleanliness is very important to our nation's government; pollution has a very low threshold for toleration.

In the TBRE, cleanliness is socially encouraged and also promoted by the Ministry of Health, with most people taking a shower at least once a day, and also washing their hands before eating and such. Spitting is a faux pas, as is not covering one's mouth when coughing or sneezing.

Bathing has been considered a twice-daily ritual in Avaerilon since its founding, over a thousand years ago. While showering is more common, few homes lack a large, ceramic, or marble, bath. It is considered impolite to cough or sneeze without covering one's mouth and nose. Hands are washed regularly, but not compulsively; Avaerilonians understand there is such a thing as too clean. Nails are cleaned regularly, as are teeth. Most Avaerilonians will wash their hair twice a day with shampoo and conditioner.

However, nobody ever seems to even wipe their hands after stroking the cat.
