If you find your yourself performing the same cleaning sequences over and over, you can create one-click macros for processing text. Click Macros on the right, and then click Edit under the appropriate item: Text Modifying to use any combination of Clean Text's built-in cleaners, or Text Replacing to use Clean Text's find-and-replace options. In the resulting dialog box, click Add to create a new macro (or Duplicate to base your new macro on an existing one), give your macro a name, and then add as many cleaners or find-and-replace actions, respectively, as needed. When you're done, click OK, and your new macro appears in the Clean Text sidebar under Macros.

Clean Text provides multiple levels of undo if you ever make a mistake or change your mind. You can also choose the font and size of text in the window, as well as the format for the inserted date and time.

Even if text-cleaning is an infrequent task for you, Clean Text is a useful tool to keep on hand. And if you clean up text frequently, the program's iconized mode is great for one-click text processing. Clean Text doesn't have all the features or polish of TextSoap--which offers more cleaners, a systemwide menu, conditional actions, styled text, more-powerful searching, cleaning-action groups, and more--but for those who don't need all those features, Clean Text's lower price will make it appealing.
