Looks like Ubuntu Tweak project is no longer maintained and the application is no longer available through PPA. I particularly loved the Janitor feature in Ubuntu Tweak. Are there any alternatives one can use?

if you are familiar with the command line you can do exact the same thing yourself with a look at this answer: https://askubuntu.com/a/234792/354350
BUT be careful and you should know what you are doing, because some commands use superuser-rights!
...maybe write a little script and everything is done with just one click! ;-)

anyway i would recommend to use BleachBit: it's a good file-cleaner with a GUI and (also in superuser-mode) you can hardly mess up your system.

open your terminal and just type sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y bleachbit, type your password (no characters will be displayed) and wait till executed.

You can use unity-tweak-tool to install it:

sudo apt-get install unity-tweak-tool

If cleaning is your objective, you have many options. Bleachbit is great. Nautilus has addons [use Synaptic to install these]. In terminal, you have autoremove and autoclean.
