You demand a credit from the Seller at the closing for your costs of cleaning the house; or
If the Seller's breach of contract is material to the transaction, you refuse to allow the escrow agent to release your funds to the Seller until the house is cleaned; or
You close the transaction and forget about the issue.

By law, he has 3 days to cure. After that three days he is in breach of contract. Check the "remedies" section of the contract.
BTW - was the cleaning actually written into the purchase contract? If not specifically added in writing, the seler has no obligation to do so.

If the property does not meet the criteria specified in the purchase contract/offer to purchase, you have two options to cover yourself. You can close, with a specified amount held in escrow from the sellers to cover the costs involved in bringing the property into compliance, or you can simply refuse to close.

It depends on the contract. What does it say? What is clean? Is this guy clean, female clean, cleanroom clean, or grandmother clean?
Is this broom clean, vacuum clean, rug shampoo clean?
Inspect home before closing. Ask for money to clean home if not clean. Take a digital camera and take photos.

Ask your real estate agent to assist. If necessary, you may need a good attorney to file a specific performance lawsuit.
WARNING: Be sure you inspect the property on the same day as escrow is scheduled to close.
