The best Dollar General cleaning supplies for sparkling kitchens

Xtra dish soap

Get your pots, pans and dishes spotless with the budget-friendly Xtra dish soap. It promises to cut two times more grease, just like the popular degreaser Ajax soap ($2.50 and up). Snatch it up in fruity scents like watermelon or lemon, both of which make washing dishes a lot more enjoyable.

Steel wool soap pads

Steel wool pads are so handy for scouring away stuck-on messes! Rather than paying $4 for a box of SOS pads, give the Trueliving product a try. Each of the 10 pads is incredibly durable for even the toughest of stains, and you’ll appreciate the refreshing lemon scent in the soap.

Swap Pine-Sol for this $1 multipurpose find

If you love the cleaning power of Pine Sol but don’t want to pay for the brand name, grab Pinalen Multipurpose Cleaner instead! While a 24-oz. bottle of the name brand cleaner will run you $2.70, this 25-oz. bottle is a steal at just $1—and it’s effective. It can be used to clean everything from floors and toilet bowls to mirrors and laundry, plus it offers that same refreshing pine scent.

Never run out of disinfecting wipes again 

Antibacterial wipes are a must for cleaning hands and messes on the go, and Lucky Super Soft Wet Wipes are an affordable option. They’re best compared to Wet Ones, which usually start at $2 for a travel pack of 20. The best part of this find? You’ll get 60 thick sheets in this handy package, perfect for sanitizing and eliminating germs from a variety of surfaces.

Refresh your living room for $1

The next time your carpet or rug is in need of a freshening, head to Dollar General! You can snatch up Great Scents Carpet & Room Refresher for just $1 to get the job done. Just like the pricier Arm & Hammer powder ($2.50 and up), it absorbs unpleasant odors (including those from mildew), while the lavender and chamomile fragrance leaves behind a nice scent.

Affordable luxury: Scented air fresheners and candles that match Glade

Get any room guest-ready in seconds with True Living air freshener sprays! The 8-oz. bottles cost $1 each and come in pleasant scents like Coastal Cool, Hawaiian Escape and Cashmere Vanilla, rivaling popular brands like Glade and Febreze—which can start at $2-$3 per bottle—for a fraction of the price.

Prefer a candle? The dollar store also sells a version of 2-count candles (6.8 ounces each) in equally comforting scents. Though they’ll cost you a bit more at $5 per pack, they still remain a cheaper alternative to the two-packs of Glade’s 4-oz. candles.

The budget-friendly way to keep your toilet bowl sanitized

Toilet cleaning tablets like Ty-D-Bowl ($3.60 for a pack of 5) are a great, hands-off way to get your bowl sanitized, but it’s no secret that they can be costly. A better choice: True Living Toilet Bowl Cleaner Tablets. This $1 pair of tablets helps prevent stains and eliminates build up in the toilet bowl—all you have to do is drop one into the tank.

Whether you’re looking to try something new or simply stocking up on cleaning supplies, Dollar General has you covered for every room of your house!
