Water changes, water changes , water changes!
Check filter pad, What filter are you using, size tank?

Most Likely Its a bacterial bloom. the only way to get rid of this bloom is not by adding chemicals to the tank this may infact worsen the condiotion and kill off your bio-bugs.
What you can do is do Many water changes just as stated by canarsie11
I would 50% water changes everyweek and maybe a 20% water change aswell in between the 50%. (thats what I did when I had a bacterial bloom and my water cleared up in 2 weeks or so.) Just make sure you dont Vaccum the gravel more than twice a week so you dont loose alot of bio-bugs. So What I would do is Vaccum the gravel when your doing the 20% water change and when you do the 50% water change, just take out water and dont mess with the gravel.
As Canarsise said, How big is the tank, what filter are you running, how many fish do you have and how often do you clean the tank/filter medias? and how often do you feed your fish?

If it is in fact a bacterial bloom the best (IMO) way to remedy the bloom is simply to wait. Sometimes this can take up to two weeks, or more to clear just waiting (and doing water changes). How long have you had this cloudyness? What type/color is it? Again, we need a bit more specific information so we can assist you better.

When you say cleaned filter, i hope u aint touch the bio wheel.
Sound like bacteria bloom! Water changes and patience.
Feed everyother day for next week or so. ( You can be overfeeding)
