CLEANING HACKS USING DOLLAR STORE ITEMS

April 5, 2016 by madincrafts 9 Comments

Cleaning Hacks Using Dollar Store Supplies

You can find some amazing deals in the dollar store cleaning section.  Occasionally, you can find name-brand cleaning products at a discount of more than 50%.  The non-name brand cleaners are probably a bit more diluted, but if you are saving $3-4 per container you can afford to use a few more squirts of cleaner each time.  You can also buy cleaning tools at the dollar store for far less than at big box stores.

The internet is full of great cleaning hacks, but I was wondering if there was a way to both save myself time cleaning AND save money.  That’s why I put this round-up together.  Each of the amazing cleaning tip in this list can be done using cheap cleaning products from the dollar store!

 

AMMONIA

    Good reminder to check the dollar store first. Large spray bottles …I’d much rather pay $1
