I'd just do another water change, or open up the air valve on your skimmer and let it foam its way out. Chemiclean tends to make the skimmer go crazy. Did you do at least a 20% water change?

you need to do another waterchange...and then put the skimmer cup on, and if it fills up dump it and keep doing this till the skimmer cup can stay on
