Sauber

Überall wird fein geschafft

Unser Häuschen schön gemacht

Überall ist es beschmutzt

Wieder nicht genug geputzt

Seht nur wie die Schränke starren

Vor Schmutz, wo Farben waren

Ein Belag aus Staub und Dreck

Dient dem Hirn zum Versteck

Ich mache sauber, ich mache rein

Alles soll sauber, fein sauber sein

Ich mache sauber, ich mache rein

Alles soll sauber, ganz sauber sein

Ich mache sauber, ich mach das rein

Alles muss sauber, ganz sauber sein

Ich mach das sauber, ich mach das rein

Ich schaffe uns ein wunderschönes Heim!

Seht nur wie gut ich wische

Auf den Schränken, über Tische

Fensterbänke und das Glas

Putzen macht unfassbar Spaß

Alle Tage ist kein Sonntag

Alle Tage gibt's kein Wein

Aber ich mach alle Tage

Unser kleines Häuschen rein

Ich mache sauber, ich mach das rein

Alles muss sauber, ganz sauber sein

Ich mach das sauber, ich mach das rein

Alles soll sauber, ganz sauber sein

Ich mach das sauber, ich mache rein

Sprühe das alles mit der Lösung ein

Spurlos weg sind alle Flecken

Man kann meinen Boden lecken

Ich mach das sauber, ich mach das rein

Clean

Everywhere there's someone working

Our little house made nice

Everywhere it's dirty

Yet again it hasn't been cleaned enough

Just see how the cupboards

Are covered in grime where there were colours

A coating of dust and dirt

Is a hiding place for the brain

I'm cleaning up, I'm cleaning up1

Everything shall be clean, really clean

I'm cleaning up, I'm cleaning up

Everything shall be clean, totally clean

I'm cleaning up, I'm cleaning it up

Everything must be clean, totally clean

I'm cleaning it up, I'm cleaning it up

I'm making us a beautiful home!

Just look how well I wipe up

The cupboards, the tables

The windowsills and the glass

Cleaning is incredibly fun

Every day is not a Sunday

There's not wine every day

But every day

I make our little house clean

I'm cleaning up, I'm cleaning it up

Everything must be clean, totally clean

I'm cleaning it up, I'm cleaning it up

Everything shall be clean, totally clean

I'm cleaning it up, I'm cleaning up

I spray everything with the cleaning solution

All stains are gone without a trace

You could lick my floor

I'm cleaning it up, I'm cleaning it up

1. "Sauber" and "rein" both mean clean. "Rein" can also mean "pure" but it doesn't fit this context, IMO. It is a "stronger" version of "sauber", more like clean inside and out instead of a surface clean, e.g.

Cleaning is incredibly fun - yeah, you cleanliness fanatic come over to my house...

Überall wird fein geschafft - Everything will be tidied up
Hmm, no "schaffen" means "working" not "tidying up".

Ich mache sauber, ich mach das rein
"Sauber" and "rein" both mean clean.
Yes, you're right, but there's a thin line. Ariel says in its commercials "nicht nur sauber sondern rein" meaning: not even clean on the surface like "sauber" but clean like "rein". Looks like I'm not good to explain stuff.

"Schaffen" is one of those verbs that I often find it really difficult to translate directly to English. Usually it's in the sense of "provide" or "manage". I assumed here it was in the sense of "making the house fein" i.e. pretty?

Hmm, this is true, I usually contrast them with clean vs pure as I mentioned in the footnotes but it depends on context. We don't really use "pure" like that often. Other than saying "clean" vs "really clean" for "sauber" vs "rein", I'm stuck on options in English at the moment. Any suggestions (from you or others) would be appreciated though! Translations I've seen in general for "sauber und rein" are along the lines of "neat and tidy", while for "nicht sauber sondern rein" we tend to say something like "squeaky clean".

Überall wird fein geschafft
This is really a hard one to translate. Sorry, but no it means not to make the house pretty. It means that it's nice to see everybody at work.

You got it. Now everything's said about clean, sauber & rein.

The idea I get from the sentence "Überall wird fein geschafft" is that everyone is working in and around the house. In swabian german "schaffen" means "to work".
Considering the "sauber" vs "rein" thing, "rein" gives me the idea of desinfected.
Hope the comment to be of some help.
