Let's see here....1) A few weeks prior to tenant move-out I send them a cleaning checklist as well as the two pages they signed listing damage and cleaning fees2) I use the same paint colors in all my properties.3) My Clean Magic Erasers are amazing and will remove wall scuffs and random stains. 4) When buying larger items I utilize the Lowe's 10% off trick (spending .99 on eBay to buy a Lowe's 10% off digital coupon and using the code online or in store - this hack has literally saved me thousands).5) At my multi-family properties I include various items near my coin-op washer and dryer: a laundry  table for folding, a roll of paper towels and a bottle of cleaner so the machines can be wiped off; I also include some laundry-related items such as stain remover, starch spray, etc (I buy it from Dollar Tree and it lasts a while - I think the tenants appreciate the gesture). 6) At the Dollar Tree they have a toilet cleaning gel product called Lime-A-Way.
