Ever wonder if your local Dollar Store has cleaning supplies that actually work?! Wonder no longer – we have a list of the BEST cleaning products at The Dollar Tree!
Cheap Cleaning Supplies That Actually Work
The Dollar Tree is our go-to shopping place for just about everything – including cleaning supplies. If you don’t have a local Dollar Tree, you can most likely find the same or similar items at Dollar General, Five Below, or Family Dollar.
I think some people hear “Dollar Tree” and “Cleaning” and can’t imagine actually getting a product there that cleans well.
But I’m here to tell you – it is actually home to some of the BEST cleaning supplies around. You can get name-brand items for the best deal at a fraction of the cost you would from big-box stores.
Not only do they have a lot of name brands (that you can even use coupons on – make sure you read our Dollar Tree couponing tips), but they have some cleaning products that are unique to The Dollar Tree and people around the country RAVE about them. From dish soaps and laundry detergent to microfiber cloths and white vinegar, you really can’t go wrong – you’re getting a great deal, awesome cleaner, and better savings.
So without further adieu – here are some of the best Dollar Tree cleaning supplies around. Be sure to comment below if your favorite made the list!
Best Dollar Tree Cleaning Products
As we all know, there are some real wins and real duds at The Dollar Tree.
A lot of people really rave about buying cleaning supplies there, but not all of them are worth getting. Some have toxic chemicals and some cleaning brushes aren’t built to last. However, a lot of the cleaning products are well worth your time and money.
First of all, if you are buying a name brand product – make sure you look at the price per ounce to make sure it’s actually a good deal as opposed to buying a larger amount at a store like Target or Walmart.
You can sometimes use coupons on these products, so make sure you read our post about Dollar Tree coupons to see if you can get an even better deal.
I asked in a Dollar Tree Facebook group about what everyone’s favorite products were, and here are the most popular answers:
- Pretty much the entire LA Totally Awesome line. EVERYONE raves about the Awesome All-Purpose Spray, but others said they pretty much love it all.
- One person said they like to mix the Totally Awesome cleaning vinegar with a couple of tablespoons of Dawn and water in a spray bottle and use it for everything – including mirrors and not streak cleaning on stainless steel (like refrigerators). I’m super excited to try this myself.
Other favorites included:
- The Home Store Foam Carpet Cleaner
- Green Spic and Span
- Lysol Bottles of Toilet Bowl Cleaner
- Fabuloso (a few people mentioned this, though one person said they liked it just for the smell)
- Magic Eraser
- Ultra Shine Dish Detergent Packs – these are 10 for $1, and a lot of people rave about them. One lady even said after she realized how awesome they were, so bought a ton of them just in case they sold out!
- Comet Cleaner
- Oxy Lemon Sudsy (orange label, short, fat and white container)
- Ammonia for towels
- 50-ounce dish soap
- Pine cleaner
- Sprayable Mr. Clean
- Dollar Tree Cleaning Vinegar

They also have the more expensive brands sometimes, in a smaller quantity or size. Which really works sometimes. Love the large and XXL ziploc style bags. I’m talking over gallon to 2-3 gallon sizes. They work for a lot of different tasks or items. Food storage containers (tupperware style) are good to get. Socks, sunglasses, and reading glasses (since I loose them so much), at $1.00 each works really well.
Kate says
All of their Awesome cleaners work great!
Bill says
Hey – I’m new to all of this. I really thought that the dollar tree stuff would be inferior stuff. I’m going to go check out some of the stuff that you recommend. Please send me any of your thoughts on organization ideas. Thanks for your help. Bye-for-now.
Barbara says
I love their little baskets for organizing and I have compared pricing on these items. Just be aware, some of the dollar store items can be found in Walmart for just under a dollar as well.
Karen says
I also like Dollar tree for certain things that are too expensive in regular stores. You can’t beat the selection during holidays. I’m going to try there cleaning products. Thanks for your help.
Virginia says
Mops only lasted me for 2 weeks. I have 7 cats & 3 dogs & a husband that made a mess in his clothes so I had to mop a lot & I went threw 4 mops in a month, glue didn’t hold.
Penny says
I love the gain dryer sheets and the hardware section is nice too they have a set of screwdrivers, hammers even a tool box I’m a regular shopper and I can say that when I go I leave with pretty good stuff
Sammy says
I agree, the quality of the products is usually just as good than more expensive brands!
Chelsea @ Life With My Littles says
So your first paragraph basically describes me, too! I love this post! I didn’t realize there were so many great cleaning supplies there! I have used Dollar Tree bins for organizing my kids’ closets when they were babies, and now I am using them in our baby’s closet! They are amazing!
Cindy Maudsley says
Ha! I love it! I’m overall really impressed with most of the quality of the products too so that is a plus!
