Bash Variable loops?

Im not sure how to explain this cause Ima noob (so bare with me)
i have this script

Code:

---

#!/bin/bash
1 = adobe_reader.cache
2 = dobe_reader.mru
3 = adobe_reader.tmp
4 = apt.autoclean
5 = apt.autoremove
6 = apt.clean
7 = bash.history
8 = deepscan.backup
9 = deepscan.ds_store
10 = deepscan.thumbs_db
11 = deepscan.tmp
12 = exaile.cache
13 = exaile.downloaded_podcasts
14 = exaile.log
15 = filezilla.mru
16 = firefox.cache
17 = firefox.cookies
18 = firefox.crash_reports
19 = firefox.dom
20 = firefox.download_history
21 = firefox.forms
22 = firefox.passwords
23 = firefox.session_restore
24 = firefox.site_preferences
25 = firefox.url_history
26 = firefox.vacuum
27 = flash.cache
28 = flash.cookies
29 = gedit.recent_documents
30 = gftp.cache
31 = gftp.logs
32 = gimp.tmp
33 = gl-117.debug_logs
34 = gnome.run
35 = gnome.search_history
36 = gpodder.cache
37 = gpodder.vacuum
38 = gwenview.recent_documents
39 = hippo_opensim_viewer.cache
40 = hippo_opensim_viewer.logs
41 = java.cache
42 = libreoffice.cache
43 = libreoffice.history
44 = links2.history
45 = midnightcommander.history
46 = miro.cache
47 = miro.logs
48 = nautilus.history
49 = nexuiz.cache
50 = openofficeorg.cache
51 = openofficeorg.recent_documents
52 = realplayer.cookies
53 = realplayer.history
54 = realplayer.logs
55 = recoll.index
56 = system.cache
57 = system.clipboard
58 = system.desktop_entry
59 = system.free_disk_space
60 = system.localizations
61 = system.memory
62 = system.recent_documents
63 = system.rotated_logs
64 = system.tmp
65 = system.trash
66 = tremulous.cache
67 = vim.history
68 = vlc.mru
69 = wine.tmp
70 = winetricks.temporary_files
71 = x11.debug_logs
72 = xchat.logs
73 = xine.cache
for i in [1..73]
        do
                bleachbit --clean "$"$i""
done

---

It is to run all cleaners for bleachbit one at a time from within a for loop
ive tried to asign each cleaner string to a variable number 1-73
then acces the cleaners variable number with $i
but it just spits out
1 command not found
2 command not found
3 command not found
etc etc
i've tried several different modifications to the "$"$i"" part
$"$i", '$"$i" just to name a couple
but nothing seems to make it work how i plan
any help you have to offer would be great

hi :-)
I state not to know the bash-scripting .. && I do not know 'if it is written correctly && works correctly... but if this ""ESCAMOTAGE"" can be a help-to-solve:

I didn't notice that you are not using all the clean options. I made one which will run clean on everything bleachbit offers but I'm out of time

Code:

---

#!/bin/bash

for i in $(bleachbit -l | sed '1,1d'); do bleachbit --clean $i; done;

I guess I did have time... This will do what you want without the need of an external list.
