Dave,

Exactly what are you trying to accomplish? Unlike Windows, OS X doesn't have any 'crap' to be cleaned.

There's a program called OnyX that does cleanup functions on Mac OSX, but as Pensacola said, it's not really needed. OSX is a much cleaner running system than Windows, and doesn't require regular maintenance to avoid 'slowdowns'.

You can find OnyX on www.VersionTracker.com

The only thing that I have noticed is that when you "uninstall" a program there are files left behind, plists etc. I used to have an app I got off of Apple's website that cleaned up after programs that I deleted, can't remember the name but a search on utilities on Apple's downloads might get it.
