Purell, the sanitizing supergiant, dirtied its hands last night at the Super Bowl after serving up a muddied jab at the Browns.

Purell higher ups have since deleted the offending tweet and have issued an apology, both on Twitter and on Cleveland.com.

#Browns fans @Purell apologize for the insensitive post. We are investigating the source and we will take appropriate action.
