Thanks for explaining.

"Clean" is not a very clear name for this, because the idea that
having no text properties is "cleaner" is a matter of taste.  Some
might not make the connection between the word "cleam" and what this
does.  Thus, people will have more difficulty remembering the name
from the meaning and vice versa.

I suggest renaming it to "no-properties-mode".
