"I" because it is "I" that is cleaning.
Explanation:
In this question, we have:
"I'm cleaning my room"
I'll now substitute in the parts of speech for each word:
"Subject, Verb, Posessive Adjective, Object".
I is the subject because it is "I" that is cleaning. What is "I" cleaning? The room - which makes "the room" the object of the cleaning.
