Cultural Note
Having a casa limpia is a source of great pride in Spain. The smell of lejía (bleach) is so associated with cleanliness that many Spaniards find it comforting. Spanish homes are cleaned thoroughly at least once a week, with daily touch-ups. The expression 'oler a limpio' (to smell clean) is a genuine compliment.
