Somewhere, lost in this forum, I made such a cleaner/converter that works with BJ's tiddlyclip. It uses regular expression to do a usually-but-not-always successful clean up. It uses JS, so purists may not like it.
A more ambitious approach would be to load the HTML into it's own DOM tree, find and parse the elements, and convert to TW text. Also in the forum is something we did (I believe you helped) with pandoc. For tasks like these, it would be handy if TW spoke markdown natively. There are already libraries and tools for HTML-to-markdown.
