Explanation at your level:

Use '很干净' to say something is clean. It is very easy to use. Just put the subject first, then '很干净'.
This phrase is a standard adjective collocation. It describes the state of objects. You can use it in daily life to describe your house, clothes, or food preparation areas.
In intermediate Chinese, you learn that '很' is not just 'very' but a grammatical requirement for predicative adjectives. '很干净' is the standard way to express the quality of cleanliness in a neutral register.
At this level, you should distinguish between physical cleanliness and abstract purity. '很干净' is strictly for physical states. For more nuanced descriptions, consider using '整洁' (neat) or '一尘不染' (spotless).
The collocation '很干净' serves as a baseline for descriptive adjectives. In professional or formal writing, you might opt for more precise vocabulary, but it remains the most versatile and common expression for hygiene.
Analyzing the morphosyntax, '干净' functions as a stative verb. The inclusion of '很' is a syntactic necessity in declarative sentences to avoid the comparative implication of a bare adjective. It is a fundamental building block of descriptive Chinese.
