You don’t often hear the word “sanitation” in the Jersey Shore house. (Unless you’re talking about Ronnie’s future career options. ZING!)

But in this clip from the upcoming episode 7 of Jersey Shore season 2, Snooki takes a rare journey outside herself to attend to the hygiene needs of the house.

Except not really, because she’s only cleaning the infamous “Smush Room” so she can use it with her new guy Dennis (whose name she can’t even bring herself to utter, so stupid does the girl named “Snooki” find it to be).

Watch and laugh as Snooki and JWoww tackle the dirty, dirty Smush Room by trading their usual club attire for trash bags and plastic wrap over their faces. Didn’t their mothers ever warn them about self-suffocation? (Oops, that was a stupid question, wasn’t it?)

Tune in to the seventh episode of Jersey Shore, in which this scene appears, on September 9 at 10pm on MTV. And be sure to watch next week when The Situation, Pauly and Vinny bring too many girls home and don’t know what to do with them.
