Move-Out Cleaning Checklist for Lafayette Renters & Homeowners
Moving is stressful enough. Between packing boxes, updating your address, and coordinating movers, cleaning your old space is the last thing you want to deal with — but it’s also one of the most important.
Whether you're a renter hoping to get your deposit back or a homeowner wanting to leave a spotless impression, a thorough move-out cleaning is a must.
At Platt Services LLC, we’ve helped hundreds of families in Lafayette, Youngsville, and Broussard clean up and move forward — with peace of mind and a sparkling home.
🏠 Why Move-Out Cleaning Matters in Lafayette
Lafayette landlords and buyers often expect homes to be returned in near move-in condition. A simple sweep or wipe-down won’t cut it.
Failing to meet expectations can lead to:
Withheld security deposits
Extra cleaning fees
Negative rental history or buyer feedback
We know what property managers and realtors in Acadiana look for — and we help you check every box.
