The actual removal of wastes occurs in tiny units inside the kidneys called nephrons. Each kidney has about a million nephrons. In the nephron, a glomerulus-which is a tiny blood vessel, or capillary-intertwines with a tiny urine-collecting tube called a tubule. The glomerulus acts as a filtering unit, or sieve, and keeps normal proteins and cells in the bloodstream, allowing extra fluid and wastes to pass through. A complicated chemical exchange takes place, as waste materials and water leave the blood and enter the urinary system.

Let's rephrase the question shall we? The asker meant, "Do the kidneys help clean your blood?"
In which, the correct answer would be: "Yes. They help by 'filtering' out contaminants and waste products from your blood as well as from other fluids."
