Behnam AThank you but I actuallyasked about when they are both verbs.Maybe that was your intention, but it was not at all clear in your original question.
As a verb, the difference is that "cleans" corrresponds to the third person singular, while "clean" corresponds to all other subjects.
I clean
you clean
he/she/it cleans

That's a much more interesting question.
Don't worry - I make typing mistakes all the time.
I'd say that "cleanse" means to clean very thoroughly, to completely remove all the dirt or impurties. There is a sense of disinfecting more than just tidying up.
I think it's used less as in intransitive verb than clean. You might talk about a cleansing ritual or cleansing treatm
