If the light was on before you cleaned it, the MAF may need to be replaced not cleaned.

un plug maf and see if it runs better. If it does, it may be the maf. Does your vehicle have relays that control maf? If it does, check relays too. JMO...

If you did disconnect the battery (or have the codes reset) and the light is still on, suggest taking it back to the parts store and get them to re-read the codes, and this time write-down the code(s) and then re-ask your questions by providing the codes...

Pretty much as above - you need 50 ignition cycles or disconnecting and reconnecting the battery will clear the code or most OB2 Code Readers have a "clear code" function. With it running well and the temperature being what it is, I'd just go out and start it 50 times (once the heater is working of course).
