Italian term (edited):
si vede e si sente
you can tell it and you can smell it
Questo è un altro suggerimento: "to tell a clean bathroom" significa letteralmente "riconoscere un bagno pulito".
Siccome questa cosa che stai traducendo è uno spot... musicalmente tell e smell suonano meglio come slogan, rispetto a see e smell.
Magari rende meglio l'idea pubblicitaria che sta alla base della traduzione, pur perdendo parte del significato letterale?
"as a matter of fact, you can tell and smell a clean bathroom!"
Spero di essere stato d'aiuto
Ciao e buon lavoro!
