OK, so we have the top three obsessively clean countries with the US coming in, what, third?
1.) Japan
2.) Germany
3.) United States
Who is fourth? Canada? As I mentioned, I’ve traveled outside the US a fair amount, and most regard Americans as obsessive about bathing and cleanliness. To say that Americans “stink” at hand-washing is creating some perfect, ideal basis of comparison that does not exist.
The Netherlands would be top three without question.
