Is “Cleanliness is next to godliness” in the Bible?

Question:

Are you saying the phrase, "cleanliness is next to godliness" is Scripture that can be found in the Bible? If so, where?

Answer:

No, can't say I've ever stated that. There is a verse on that topic though. In Ecclesiastes 9:8, Solomon advises that we should always keep our clothes and bodies clean and smelling well. Even without Solomon's advice, you should be interested in making yourself presentable to the people around you.
