This adjective can only be used predicatively, meaning after the noun with a verb like 'sein' (to be) or 'werden' (to become). It cannot stand before a noun and is therefore never declined.

The bathroom is spotless again now.
The adjective 'blitz' (spotless) is derived from the noun 'der Blitz' (lightning). It describes something that is so clean that it lights up or shines like lightning.
Nach der Autowäsche war der Lack wieder blitz.
After the car wash, the paintwork was spotless again.
'Blitz' (spotless) in this meaning is colloquial. It is a short and informal way to say that something is immaculately clean.

Wow, your windows are really spotless!
clean
'sauber' and 'blitz' can both mean that something is not dirty. 'sauber' is the normal word for things, rooms, or clothing without dirt. 'blitz' is colloquial and means extremely clean, almost spotless. It is used only predicatively, for example with 'sein' (to be): 'Das Bad ist blitz.' (The bathroom is spotless.) In everyday language, 'sauber' is always natural; 'blitz' sounds stronger and more casual.
Nach dem Putzen ist das Bad wieder blitz.
After cleaning, the bathroom is spotless again.
Du machst den Tisch sauber, bevor die Gäste kommen.
You clean the table before the guests arrive.
