Usage Note
Pulito means literally clean (free of dirt) and figuratively honest or above-board — un affare pulito (a clean deal), avere la coscienza pulita (to have a clear conscience). The double meaning makes it a common word in both domestic and ethical discourse. Its antonym is sporco (dirty).
Examples
"La cucina deve essere sempre pulita."
