Let’s set the stage.
It’s dorm season in Federal Way. Which means two things:
Someone just tried to cram their entire life into an 8x10 room.
That room looks—and smells—like the aftermath of a four-day energy drink binge and microwave pizza festival.
Whether you’re moving in, moving out, or moving back in again because you forgot your charger, the reality is the same: dorms get nasty. And fast.
So before you break out the Febreze and a single Clorox wipe and start praying to the gods of “this’ll do,” let us help you do it right.
Clean Slate WA offers full dorm move-in and move-out cleaning services right here in Federal Way—because college is already stressful enough without battling mysterious carpet stains and mystery odors that could probably get you extra credit in bio lab.
Look, no one goes to college for the ambiance.
You go for the classes, the parties, the freedom, and yeah, maybe the overpriced textbooks you’ll never read.
But let’s be real—dorm rooms are basically germ petri dishes with cinder block walls and shared showers. And every year, a fresh crop of students rolls in thinking, “It’s not that bad.”
Fast forward one semester and they’re scrubbing mold off a mini-fridge with a sock.
Whether it’s your first year or your victory lap, the move-in and move-out experience should not involve hazmat suits. That’s where we come in.
Here’s a fact no one tells you during orientation: “clean” is relative.
Sure, the school says the room’s been “cleaned.” But what they mean is that someone came through, mopped around the edges, sprayed some lemon-scented stuff in the air, and called it a day.
We’ve seen things. Dust colonies in vents. Funky smells under beds. Hair in places you don’t want to know about. You don’t want to unpack your belongings into that. Trust us.
When you book a dorm move-in clean in Federal Way with Clean Slate WA, we make sure your new home base isn’t carrying the baggage (and bacteria) of last semester’s resident.
Ah yes, the legendary security deposit. That little bit of money your parents or student loan covered that your school is just waiting to keep because you didn’t clean behind the toilet.
Let’s not let them win.
Most dorms or student housing will charge a “cleaning fee” if they find so much as a gum wrapper in the closet or a crumb in the drawer. Some of these schools act like they’re prepping your room for a royal visit.
Book our move-out cleaning services in Federal Way and we’ll make sure your dorm looks like nobody even lived there—which is how you get that money back. Or at least avoid the walk of shame at the front desk when you hand in the keys.
Here’s the breakdown of our dorm cleaning service. We don’t just wipe and walk. We deep clean like it owes us rent.
Dusting & Disinfecting every surface, including desktops, shelves, and those weird light fixtures that haven’t seen attention since 1999.
Floor cleaning—vacuuming, sweeping, mopping, and cursing every popcorn kernel we find under the futon.
Bathroom cleaning (if applicable): we’re talking toilets, sinks, tubs, the whole shebang. You shouldn’t be brushing your teeth next to mildew.
Kitchenette cleaning—microwaves, fridges, sinks. And yes, we know someone spilled ramen broth in there two semesters ago.
Trash removal because no one’s trying to drag three weeks of empty Red Bulls to the dumpster.
We use eco-friendly products (where possible), and we don’t judge. We've seen things—believe us.
Whether you’re at Green River, Highline College, or living off-campus in a student apartment, we’ve got you covered.
Federal Way’s growing student population means there are more people than ever needing fast, trustworthy, and let’s be honest—thorough—cleaning help during dorm transitions. And that's exactly what we do.
We’re not some fly-by-night operation with a bucket and a dream. Clean Slate WA is your go-to for dorm cleaning in Federal Way. Local, reliable, and just a little sarcastic. (Okay, a lot.)
Reliable scheduling: Book us ahead of time, or call us when you realize Mom’s coming and your room looks like a crime scene.
Affordable rates: We get the student budget hustle. That’s why we offer clear, upfront pricing with no surprises.
Flexible service options: Need a full deep clean? Just a quick refresh? We do both. Heck, we’ll even help clean during midterms if your stress-cleaning phase didn’t work out.
And for parents: If you’re reading this and your child’s dorm is three steps away from being condemned, send us in like a cleaning SWAT team. Your kid will never admit they needed help, but they’ll love the results.
Dorm chaos peaks during move-in weekend and finals week. That’s when the dust bunnies turn into rabbits, and stress levels are high enough to short-circuit your Wi-Fi.
We get slammed. So do yourself a favor and book early. We'll lock in your preferred date and make sure your space is ready before the chaos hits.
Trying to clean your own dorm room after finals week is like trying to fold a fitted sheet—technically possible, but it’s not gonna be pretty. You’ve got better things to do, like surviving exams or figuring out where your tuition money actually went.
