This is very odd. Normally, "mvn clean" would simply run "mvn clean" in each of the defined modules. That's certainly what it does for me.
The child modules would then respond by (normally) deleting the "target" directory, to get rid of any old .class directories etc. What does your project A's pom.xml look like?
