With a mixed bag of Shinto ‘christenings’, western-style weddings and Buddhist funerals, the Japanese approach to religion is refreshingly relaxed, offering a veritable pick ‘n’ mix of principles and procedures.
The concept of cleansing, however, would appear to have been completely turned on its head, with apparently a dust down for the actual deity, rather than the devotee, deemed de rigueur.

That could be a very big undertaking.
Paul says
I used to struggle to keep my God clean, but now I use GOD CLEANER.
I like my God clean, fresh and minty white.

Its probably an attempt at a play off the expression “cleanliness is next to godliness” 😛
