I always take a bath before I do devotional service. I ensure my body is clean. My soul is also supposed to be clean as it is part and parcel of supersoul.
what else should I keep clean to make it Pure?

One should render transcendental loving service to the Supreme Lord Kṛṣṇa favorably and without desire for material profit or gain through fruitive activities or philosophical speculation. That is called pure devotional service.(Bhakti Rasamrita Sindhu 1.1.11)
Impure or mixed devotional service is when devotional service is performed with personal motive for some result or mental speculation.
Example : King Pururava worshipped Sri Vishnu to get Urvashi. This is not pure devotional service. Prahlad boy performed pure devotional service and he did not want anything in return.

Keep it free from personal material desires/results or mental speculation
Hare Krsna
Ok. I should not desire anything from Krsna that is pure devotional service.
Hare Krsna
A pure devotee doesn't desire anything from Krsna for themselves. They may desire for Krsna or desire something spiritual for devotees of Sri Krsna
Hare Krsna
I am desiring that Krsna should get one more devotee that is me. I am desiring that Bharat prabhu become best devotee of Krsna.
