I hope I've understood the problem correctly: it seems you want a
command to run whitespace-cleanup and untabify on the current
buffer. As far as I know such a command doesn't exist...

(defun both-cleanups ()
  (interactive)
  (untabify (point-min) (point-max))
  (whitespace-cleanup))

... well, it does now!

I must admit I've never used whitespace-cleanup before, and can't get
it to do anything! But that applies to calling it manually too, so I
presume this will work ok for you.

You probably want to give it a better name and/or a keybinding.
