Clean code is more than just not writing obtuse code. There is a lot of literature on the subject spanning advice about patterns and principles to cookbook recipes for problems and so forth. The challenging part with clean code is that most of it is fairly subjective. More of an art than a science. We know clean code when we see it, but we cannot always reproduce it ourselves. If you haven't read the literature and do not practice with the different techniques, you are probably not writing clean code.
