I believe the answer is:

washable

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'can be cleaned' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'asha is in west bengal getting some linen sheet essentially' is the wordplay.
'is in' is an insertion indicator.
'west bengal' becomes 'wb' (this could be a standard abbreviation of which I'm unaware).
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'some' says to take the initial letters.
'essentially' says to take the centre.
The central letter of 'sheet' is 'e'.
The first letter of 'linen' is 'l'.
'asha' put inside 'wb' is 'washab'.
'washab'+'l'+'e'='WASHABLE'

'which' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for washable that I've seen before include "Not needing to be dry-cleaned" , "Of a garment that doesn't need dry cleaning" , "capable of being made cleaner?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
