Thanks Rob, I will look into checksstablegarbage utility. However, I don't want
to run major compaction as that would result in too big of a sstable.

cleanup is for removing data from ranges the node no longer owns.
It is unrelated to tombstones.
There are various approaches to cleaning up tombstones. A simple (if manual)
one is to use "checksstablegarbage" and user defined compaction. Even simpler
is to run a major compaction, but this has some downsides.
