I wouldn't worry about cleaning up old code, so much as I'd worry about making sure that new projects showed progress and improvement on those fronts to old ones. I actually quite literally use Github as my resume, but while I'm not 100% proud of some of my earlier projects, I simply keep working to make sure the next one is better so that my Github demonstrates my ability to grow and improve in a tangible way.
