Cleaners themselves don't create stronger germs. It's the use of antibiotics in cleaning solutions that can possibly cause problems. Stuff like antibacterial hand soap and washes.

Bacteria already have resistance to cleaners though. Biofilms are a huge issue when sterilizing tools and rooms in hospitals. Usually you have to remove the top millimeter of some surfaces just to get rid of the biofilms. They can survive extremely high temperatures and chemical environments. The dead bacteria on the top of the film make a barrier from the ones deep inside.
One of my professors in college was working on a way to sterilize surfaces using cold plasma and was seeing some promise for deactivating biofilms.
