House Peters Junior, a TV actor who became the original Mr. Clean in Proctor & Gamble's commercials for household cleaners, died Wednesday at the age of 92.
Peters was the muscular guy with the bald head and hoop earring that starred in Proctor & Gamble's TV commercials for household cleaners in the late 1950's and early 1960s.He was known for his no-nonsense attitude toward dirt and grime and helped make the household cleaner famous with the trademark jingle, "Mr. Clean, Mr. Clean."
His son says Peters died of pneumonia at the Motion Picture and Television Fund Hospital in Los Angeles. He is survived by his wife, a daughter, another son and four grandchildren.
