I am looking for a way to improve the way I am clearing my sheets by looping through and looking for maybe something faster. ie, clearing all worksheets in my workbook except 2 or 3 I list. Currently I have 20 worksheets

VBA Code:
' Run loop to clear sheets that would be in use
  i = 0
  Do Until WsCus.Range("FILTER").Offset(i, 0) = ""
    FILTER = WsCus.Range("FILTER").Offset(i, 0)
    SheetName = WsCus.Range("FILTER").Offset(i, -1).Value 'Assuming from your screenshot it's in the column left of the filter
    
    Worksheets(SheetName).Cells.ClearContents
    i = i + 1
Loop
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
If you have 2 or 3 that you want to exclude, you could just do something like:
VBA Code:
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    
    For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
        If (ws.Name <> "Sheet1") And (ws.Name <> "Sheet2") And (ws.Name <> "Sheet3") Then
            ws.Cells.ClearContents
        End If
    Next ws

Where "Sheet1", "Sheet2", and "Sheet3" are the three we want to exclude.

That is an important detail you failed to mention!

If you want to also exclude hidden worksheets, use this version:
VBA Code:
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    
    For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
        If (ws.Name <> "Sheet4") And (ws.Name <> "Sheet3") Then
            If ws.Visible = True Then ws.Cells.ClearContents
        End If
    Next ws
