Clean the tank how? As in eat algae off the glass and scrub hard water deposits off the top? They are scavenging bottom feeders like cory cats, I have only seen my kuhlis eat food off the bottom and rub themselves along my glass. I suppose by eating the food it does cut down on algae production maybe, but they are just going to eat anything that hits the floor.
no fish "cleans" your tank. It frustrates me so much when I see someone go in the pet store and ask the uninformed staff "what fish cleans my tank??? Its gross and green, and its gettting out of control!" ah, no. No fish is going to"clean" your tank. Yes, they will nibble at the algae and eat some leftovers off the gravel, but YOU have to clean your tank! Don't put responsibilities on your fish. :/
On to your question:
Khuli loaches do eat extra food off the bottom but they should have sinking pellets as well so they can have a constant food source. They don't really clean.

i have three Khuli loaches in my 29g tank. If they would vac my sand id have way more lol. however they eat the food that hits the bottom. I have alot of bottom feeders so my vacing is minimal. However i got them because i use to over
feed quite a bit and they took care of it. But as far as cleaning the tank i just use a scrubber on the glass.
The Loachs are cool as hell to watch tho
