Actually, there’s a time and place for everything. I don’t think its proper to clean up after everyone if its going to take away from your “Torah time.” If you set a certain amount of time you learn a day or you have a set quantity you learn a day and you cut it short to clean up I’m not so sure that’s a good move. Cleaning up the Shul is a nice thing but should be done on your own time, (ie, if you take 3 hours leisure time a day/night factor the time it takes to clean up, into that time, it is probably an aveira to learn less Torah, just to clean up). If you clean up after yourself you care about the shul, if you clean up after everyone, it means you care more. Then again there could be people in the shul who care just as much as you and would clean up after everyone but they really don’t have the time. In such a case machshavah is kamaysoh (if one has intention to do a mitzvah but he is an ones and he wasn’t able to Hashem considers it as if he did it)
