A $\ast $-ring $R$ is called (strongly) $\ast $-clean if every element of $R$ is the sum of a unit and a projection (that commute). Vaš [‘$\ast $-Clean rings; some clean and almost clean Baer $\ast $-rings and von Neumann algebras’, J. Algebra 324(12) (2010), 3388–3400] asked whether there exists a $\ast $-ring that is clean but not $\ast $-clean and whether a unit regular and $\ast $-regular ring is strongly $\ast $-clean. In this paper, we answer these two questions. We also give some characterisations related to $\ast $-regular rings.
