Is using HtmlCleaner and Jsoup together a good idea?

Question

So I'm trying to get some data from a certain website. When the app is first started, it downloads a html file of a certain website and cleans it.

private class cleanHtml extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void>{

    @Override
    protected Void doInBackground(Void... arg0) {
        try {
            HtmlCleaner cleaner = new HtmlCleaner();
            String url = "https://www.easistent.com/urniki/263/razredi/16515";
            TagNode node = cleaner.clean(new URL(url));
            CleanerProperties props = cleaner.getProperties();
            String fileName = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath() + "/Android/data/com.whizzapps.stpsurniki/cleaned.html";
            new PrettyXmlSerializer(props).writeToFile(node, fileName, "utf-8");
            Log.i("TAG", "AsyncTask done!");
        } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return null;
    }
}

Now I know I could parse html using HtmlCleaner using XPath, but I have no knowledge at all in XPath. I'm pretty sure it would be easier to parse it with Jsoup after the file is cleaned. Is this okay?

It shouldn't be a problem all you need is a valid html. you can use this:

 String html = getHtml();
 Document doc = Jsoup.parse(html);
 Elements elms = doc.select("cssSelector");
 Elements elms1 = doc.getElementsByClass("class");
