How to minify css via gulp?

I have this in my gulpfile.js. I have also installed the package BTW. 

var cleanCSS = require('gulp-clean-css');

gulp.task('cleanCSS', function(){
  return gulp.src('wp-content/themes/theme-name/style.css')
    .pipe(cleanCSS())
    .pipe(gulp.dest('wp-content/themes/theme-name/style.css'))
});

When I run gulp, it doesn't minify my css. What am I doing wrong?

I figured it out. I forgot to add 'cleanCSS' to my default task.

gulp.task('default', ['sass','watch','cleanCSS']);
