Booleans are notoriously messy. one thing Andy has suggested in the past is to enlarge your models, perform the boolean, the return the result to the original size. Even this is messy at times. I have not found an inexpensive 3D modelling program that does clean booleans. And I can't afford the expensive ones, so I don't know if they can even do it. Best case is to stay away from them whenever you can, and plan on some clean up if you can't.
