@kauser - refer to this post. There are a lot of things you can do to aside from changing all of the cleanse tools to formulas.

As this post mentions, you can use TRIM function to remove leading/trailing white space. 

 

For nulls, use an if statement: if isnull([Field]) then 0 else [Field] endif. Use a Multi Field tool to apply this logic to multiple columns
