In mathematics, a clean ring is a ring in which every element can be written as the sum of a unit and an idempotent. A ring is a local ring if and only if it is clean and has no idempotents other than 0 and 1. The endomorphism ring of a continuous module is a clean ring. [1] Every clean ring is an exchange ring. [2] A matrix ring over a clean ring is itself clean. [3]
