While units in any unital ring are strongly clean by definition, which units are uniquely clean, is a far from being simple question, even in particular rings. In this paper, the question is solved for 2 × 2 integral matrices. It turns out that uniquely clean invertible matrices are scarce: only the matrices similar to .
The study is split into three cases: the elliptic, the parabolic and the hyperbolic cases, according to the discriminant of their characteristic polynomial. In the first two cases, units are not uniquely clean.

Keywords: clean, uniquely clean, class number, Diophantine equation, reduced matrix.
