Clean 和 cleanse 這兩個動詞都是在表示去除灰塵、污垢，使清潔的意思。但 clean 通常表示字面的意思，即「把…弄乾淨，使清潔；打掃，清理」，如 Robert’s cleaning his car. (羅伯特正在洗車)；Paul’s shoes need cleaning. (保羅的鞋該刷一刷了)。The students have cleaned the classroom from top to bottom. (學生把教室徹底打掃了一遍)。至於 cleanse，則大多用來表示「使…免除罪惡，淨化」等比喻的意思，如 you might cleanse your soul by confessing your sins. (你可以藉由懺悔你的罪來淨化心靈)。

Cleanse 還有兩個意思是 clean 所沒有的，其中一個意思是「清洗 (傷口)；使 (皮膚) 清潔」，如 The nurse used a piece of gauze to cleanse the cut. (護士用一塊棉紗清洗傷口)；Amy cleanses, tones, and moisturizes her face every day. (艾美每天都做臉部的潔膚、緊膚和潤膚)。另一意思是「(種族) 淨化」，其對應的名詞為 ethnic cleansing；有人將種族淨化視為屠殺的委婉說法。
