It means you need to bring your car in for an engine check up. Sometimes there might be problems inside which requires engine diagnostic which can take a while and cost quite a bit.
The engine check light of a vehicle can go on for a variety of reasons. To find out why yours is on, you will have to have a diagnostic computer connected to your vehicle to retrieve the data. A number of shops will do this without charge in hopes of getting you to authorize them to correct the problem. And this repair activity will come at some cost.

There are lots of reasons for the check engine light to come on. Some models have the light come on when the odometer hits a certain mileage point for scheduled maintenance. Also, if there is a fault in the firing sequence, injectors, vacuum, or other processes, the light will come on. "Cleaned engine" is a little vague - did you spray it with engine cleaner? If you did, and you rinsed with water, check your electrical connections and dry them out. If you went deeper, and removed the injectors and cleaned them, etc. Check over everything you did. You may have inadvertently clogged an injector or the electrical connection is loose. Find a friend who has a diagnostic computer and hook it up. It may return the fault code you need or it may return no fault code and you can reset the light. You can find the diagnostic handhelds at auto parts stores now and it could be worth it. The garage will charge you to diagnose, fix and reset the light and that could cost more than the device.
