Use "whoever." It's the subject of the clause. (nominative case)

(The whole clause is object of the preposition "to.")

Avangi is correct, of course, as here 'whoever' is the subject of the verb 'cleaned'. I just thought I would add a case where "whomever" is correct:

Give the extra money to whomever you choose ('whomever' being the object of the subject and verb 'you choose'.
