I cleanse my skin. I clean my house,car,bedroom etc.

Well, "cleanse" has the extra meaning of "to purge" or "to purify through cleaning". It's very thorough. In day-to-day speech, you'd normally use "to clean".

[What difference between to clean and to cleanse] Cleanse = Verb Clean = Adjective Adjective = class of words that modify nouns and pronouns, primarily by describing a particular quality of the word they are modifying, Verb = typically expresses an action, state, or a relation between two things, and that may be inflected for tense, aspect, voice, mood, and to show agreement with their subject or object. In a simple form think Cleanse as an action and Clean as a Result of that action. I cleansed the clothes in soapy water to make them clean. Hope that helps. G
