There is no formal legal procedure for "clearing one's name." Whatever you do (with a polygraph or otherwise), there will be people who believe you are a thief, and people who won't believe you're a thief.

If someone falsely accuses you of something, and your reputation is damaged, you can sue that person for slander. Just between you and me, I wouldn't bother; a lawyer will charge you lots of money.
