water doesn't really get cleaned but if you have a swimming pool you can clean it with Clorox but if you want to clean a lake or something you can't however if there's trash in the lake you can stop throwing trash and if you do see trash then pick it up

How does water get cleaned? it gets purified..through filters an etc..

water is purified by heating, which when heated changes calcium trioxocarbonate(iv) Ca(CO3)2 in to white solid. the equation is Ca(HCO3)2(aq)heated =CaCO3+CO2(g)+H2O(1)
