Sawyer calls Locke Mr. Clean, a reference to the iconic cartoon spokesperson for the product Mr.Clean featured in their television commercials.
Quote:
SAWYER: Oh, I don't know, Mr. Clean, I probably would have gone around Mt. Vesuvius.
LOCKE: Why'd you pick that name?
SAWYER: Ain't it obvious? All you need's an earring and a mop.
Mr. Clean is a brand name of household cleaner from Procter & Gamble, first introduced in 1958.
Its mascot is the character Mr. Clean, a muscular bald man who cleans
things very well. According to the company, his image is supposed to be
that of a sailor, although most people think he is a genie based on his
earring, folded arms, and tendency to magically appear at the
appropriate time. Mr. Clean has always smiled on the packaging, except
for a brief time in the mid 1960's when he was frowning on the package.
