Yes, but no.
"Clean" is not really a noun. Rather, it is an adjective that has been vernacularized to be a noun. It shows up in dictionaries as a noun only because, as with so many other words whose parts of speech have been corrupted, it has been appropriated by advertisers as a language gimmick that helps market a product with a veneer of trendiness; it's the same idea as changing the spelling of a word in a product name (eg., "kool" instead of "cool") to make it memorable. We have become so accustomed to this trademarked use of language, eventually much of it enters into our folk vernacular. "Clean" as anything but an adjective is just one more example: however much catchy phrases such as "a confident clean" [n.] and "eat clean" [adv.] may seem grammatically correct to us, they are, in fact, intentional perversions of proper grammar not permitted in formal usage.
So . . . yes, "clean" is used as a noun; no, "clean" is not a noun.
