A ring R is strongly P-clean in case each of its elements is strongly P-clean. We investigate, in this article, the necessary and sufficient conditions under which a ring R is strongly P-clean. Many characterizations of such rings are obtained. The criteria on strong P-cleanness of 2 × 2 matrices over commutative projective-free rings are also determined.
