Summary: We prove uniquely semiclean rings are reduced and hence Abelian. The semiclean elements of $R$, $R[x]$, and $M_n(R)$ are compared. In particular, we show that the indeterminate $x$ is never semiclean. The 2-primality of a ring $R$ is characterized via the semiclean elements of $R[x]$. We also consider the quasi-clean elements of a ring $R$ and compare them with the semiclean elements of $R$.
