Jon's given you the location of the files, but to explain further, "Book Cleaner" is a tool that's a part of Book Designer, which allows you to do "pre-processing" and "post-processing" of a file as it gets loaded by BD and converted to BD's own format. It's a very powerful method of automatically fixing common formatting problems.
One example of its use: Book Designer will generally break lines at the end of sentences. Some common abbreviations, like "Mr." will trigger a line break at a place where you really don't want one. With Book Cleaner, you can replace "Mr." by some other character sequence before BD loads the file, and then change it back to "Mr." again after BD's loaded the file. You can also do more sophisticated things, such as strip out multiple blank lines between paragraphs. It's a very powerful tool.
