Although that proverb is not in the Bible, many Christians adhere to it. I don't know where it originated.
But its meaning seems to be that a godly person will naturally maintain order and cleanliness in the home and of his/her body, clothes, etc.
That being said, just because a person is neat and clean, that doesn't make the person godly.

Kate is correct- first appeared [almost] in statement by Francis bacon :
'Cleanness of body was ever deemed to proceed from a due reverence to God'. [1605].
