Text.Clean removes unprintable characters from a text string.
Your test is rather indirect: can't you just perform row counts before and after applying Text.Clean?

RowsAfter = Table.RowCount(#"Cleaned Text")
If there is a difference, you can investigate which records are missing by merging the tables.
Otherwise I have no explanation for the missing records.
