Whether you need to clean your apartment fast or finally tackle that chaotic laundry room, these Dollar Tree finds will change your cleaning game.

Must-Have Dollar Tree Cleaning Supplies

This stretchy, ultra-sticky tape is perfect for:

• Securing rugs (no more bunched-up carpets in your walk-up!)
• Labeling apartment cleaning supplies under sinks
• Keeping stackable bins from toppling over

2. Painting Supplies That Rival Big Box Stores

Prepping for a refresh? Score these deals:

• Angled brushes ($1.25 vs. $8+ elsewhere)
• Drop cloths to protect floors during messy projects
• Sandpaper for smoothing surfaces before cleaning

Laundry Room Makeover: Before & After

We transformed a Chicago friend’s nightmare laundry space using only Dollar Tree products. Here’s how:

Step 1: The Great Declutter

Before organizing, we:

• Tossed expired products (they stop working after 2 years!)
• Donated duplicates (how many stain sticks does one home need?)
• Created categories for what remained

Step 2: Smart Organization

Using $5 fabric bins and that miracle nano tape, we:

• Designated zones for detergents, tools, and extras
• Labeled everything clearly (no more guessing games)
• Used vertical space with stackable containers

The result? A functional space that makes deep cleaning help feel manageable between our famous Chicago winters.
