This world came up and it's not in my dictionary or online. It was used in the context,

Yo los tengo limpiecitos y con amor los voy a cuidar

The passage is speaking of shoes. So I told my boy the sentence may mean, "I keep them shiny and take care of them with love." But I'd like to know what it really means. It's from a poem, Mis Zapatos.

limpiecitos is a diminutive of clean

an example I remember would be

juancito or little jhon

So even names have their diminutive? I didn't know that, cross my heart ! Not all of them i think, just a few examples. Well as I say, you never know enough and you learn something from everybody. That's why I visit this forum. Star

limpiecito means "really clean, always clean". Using diminutive with adjectives adds force to the meaning.
Keep well!
