Here's my take on things...
Cleaning business has no barrier to entry and is a flooded market. You can make money in it for sure, but there are better residual income businesses. Way too many illegal laborers.
Mobile detailing is just not very scalable because the prices you need to charge to be profitable are too high.
If you want to make quick money in college do this...
Make cheap fliers and post them around campus that read "cash for all new, used, and broken electronics" with your phone number. I did this in high school (much less students than college) and made about $15,000 in the first two months. About 40% of that was profit. When someone texts you that they want to sell you something ask about the details (model, condition, carrier, etc). See what they're going for on ebay and offer them about half. Negotiate the price and then list it right on ebay (don't forget that ebay and paypal take 12% of the final sale price up to $100). It's really that simple. It's also beneficial because rather than driving around using gas and time, you are already at the college and can easily meet them on your breaks.
Good luck!
