1. A power scrubber drill with three attachment brushes to show kitchen and bathroom scum who's boss. Just attach any of the heads to a drill and watch them get to work on tight corners of the tub, flat tiled surfaces, and even spot jobs so you can forget all about the fact that someone else used to use your shower.
2. A nontoxic stain remover spray if your landlord is playing hard to get (in touch of) and won't swap out your lived-in carpets. You can take matters into your own hands and get rid of those caked-in mystery marks in no time.
3. A plant-based stainless-steel cleaner and polish spray (complete with a microfiber cloth) for an easy, streak-free fix for scummy ovens, microwaves, and fridges that only *look* like they need replacing. One spritz of this, and you can eradicate any remnants of a previous tenants' existence.
4. Easy Off oven cleaner that resets your oven to the setting of "squeaky clean." Because, let's face it, you might not have thought to give this appliance a scrub-down when first you moved in, but the smoke alarm should not be going off every time you cook a casserole!
5. A lemony-fresh foaming cleaner since it's pretty apparent that your garbage disposal really hasn't been tended to, like, ever. These will do the trick to deeply cleanse the underside of the splashguard and the interior side walls.
6. A grout pen if the tiles in your new digs are so unsightly you've got no idea what color the lines are that's separating them. (Spoiler: they're white!) This solution satisfyingly revitalizes floors in your bathroom, backsplashes in the kitchen, or literally wherever tiles live in your home.
7. An angry microwave mama to come to your rescue after many, many meals appeared to have splattered all over your previously-owned microwave (and are just beyond cleaning by hand). Just fill her up with vinegar, water, and lemon juice, and watch her unleash her steam on your messes!
8. Affresh dishwasher cleaning tablets if it's obvious the appliance that does your least favorite chore has never been subject to a deep cleanse. These dissolve residue buildup and blast away foul stinky odors to get your machine cleaning dishes like it's supposed to.
9. A cooktop cleaning kit so you can reverse any sign of old cooking mishaps. Burned-on grease and gunk from the previous homeowner's past will never haunt you in your sleep ever again, thanks to this nonscratch trio!
10. An all-in-one spackle kit to patch up the holes that were leftover from the previous resident who seemed to reeeally love a gallery wall. Plus, if you keep it for future use, you won't be that tenant when you move out — *and* it'll ensure you receive your full security deposit back, no questions.
11. Some waterproof screen repair tape that will take care of all those rips that went unnoticed in the pics you saw posted online. In a matter of seconds, this simple DIY task will ensure your home is free from unwelcome guests buzzing around.
12. A wood restorer so you can free wooden surfaces (think: floors and furniture) from marks and blemishes and restore them to their OG color and grain. *And* this can be done without stripping their existing finish!
13. A waterproof, heat-resistant peel-and-stick wall tile because what once looked ~stylish~ in the '80s now just looks like a plain ol' eyesore. This solve masks outdated backsplahes without any heavy duty stripping, grout, or glue!
14. And, some peel-and-stick decorative wallpaper for a home decor facelift in a flash. You can use this stuff on anywhere from walls to countertops and even floors!
15. A create-your-own countertop kit to help you finally get those granite surfaces you've always dreamt of. This wow-worthy hack will transform the look of your kitchen without the need to get contractors in.
16. A set of satin nickel drawer handles (10, to be precise) for a simple yet effective way to spruce up your blah-looking cabinets and drawers.
17. Or, a set of sleek stainless-steel bar handle pulls (yep, another 10!) so you can wave ta-ta to the previous tenants' taste and make your home feel like your own.
18. A roll of vinyl contact paper to cover up any evidence of a previous homeowner's interior design choices. Chic, fresh, and new will now be the theme in your kitchen and bathroom, thanks to a self-adhesive solution that won't bubble up upon application.
19. A snazzy dual-spray shower head so you can ditch the old grimy one for a spa-like model that'll actually make you feel squeaky clean.
20. A set of 50 wood fillers designed to touch up pet scratches and shoe scuffs that have gone untreated. This will reveal wood finishes that look brand spankin' new in no time.
21. A quart of front door paint to show your neighbors that there's a new (cool) tenant in town. And this stuff is specifically formulated to withstand the harsh elements that a front door might encounter, which also means it won't fade over time either.
22. A remarkable brick staining kit so you can freshen up the look of your fireplace without the need to rip it out and start from scratch — a bonus: you can even update patchy-lookin' bricks around the house! And it's actually made for porous masonry (translation: brick, stone, block, or mortar), so you never have to worry about it peeling or cracking.
23. Or, if you're into the color your fireplace ~was born with~ but can't see it because of pesky soot stains — a fireplace cleaner kit will fix odors and germs and strip it back to its original shade.
24. A miracle-working carpet shampooer that'll reverse years of sticky soda spills, pet stains, and shoe markings that have gone untreated. This Hoover even comes with a cleaning solution to tackle tough messes and leave your carpet so so sparkling clean you might just discover what its original color was!
25. And finally, a sophisticated area rug to inject your space with your own style and disguise any unsightly scuffs that have probably lived in your home rent-free for years!
