苏埃伦·霍伊是《一尘不染》一书的作者，她在书中问道：“我们的卫生习惯还像以前那么好吗？”她答道：“也许不再是。”她指出社会价值观迅速改变是主要原因。人留在家里的时间越来越少，打扫居室的工作，往往找清洁工人代劳。这么一来，环境清洁就不再是个人的事了。一个男子说：“我不会动手打扫卫生间，我会保持个人清洁。不管房子变成怎么样，只要我不邋遢就成了。”然而，保持洁净不能只求外表，这是健康生活不可或缺的，跟我们的思想和内心情况有关，也涉及我们的道德和崇拜。让我们看看洁净怎样牵涉到这几方面。

English translation:

Suellen Hoy, in her book Chasing Dirt, asks: "Are we as clean as we used to be?" She answers: "Probably not." She cites shifting social values as the main reason. As people spend less and less time at home, they simply pay someone else to do the cleaning for them. Consequently, maintaining a clean environment is no longer a matter of personal importance. "I don’t clean the shower-I clean myself," said one man. "At least, if my house is dirty, I’m clean." Cleanliness, however, is much more than outward appearance. It is an all-embracing ethic of sound living. It is also a state of mind and heart that involves our morals and worship. Let us see how this is the case.
