I’m a Dollar Tree super fan – 8 hidden gems which will make cleaning your home easier for $1.25
DOLLAR Tree has a wealth of products that will add ease to the day-to-day sprucing up of your abode.
A big fan of the chain, YouTuber Sara Jane has shared her favorite finds that will make cleaning affordable and convenient – and they’re only $1.25.
“Today the first thing that I want to share with you is my secret on how to get the most beautiful, streak-free mirrors of your entire life,” Jane began in a YouTube video uploaded to her 586K subscribers.
“It’s the combination of this Dollar Tree glass cleaner that I have raved about here on my channel and these glass cleaning cloths.”
Jane stressed that nothing beats the cleaning combination, citing it as a game changer that has given her the cleanest mirrors in her life.
Another Dollar Tree cleaning addition Jane said you’ll want to make to your home is microfiber wash mitts.

“You just slide it on like a glove. I love dusting my electronics with this and my fireplace mantel. It’s great to get into little corners, and because you’re essentially using your hand, I find it a lot more efficient,” she explained.
The cleaning enthusiast likes to be on the lookout for value packs of sponges at Dollar Tree as well.
She recommended some yellow nail guard sponges from Scrub Buddies. You get six in a pack and they have little grooves on the sides to help protect your nails.
They are multipurpose and durable, with a soft side as well as a more abrasive green side.

If you’re looking for an efficient cleaning cloth, Jane’s got you covered as well.
She recommended the Clean Life Multi-Purpose Cleaning Cloths.
“Not only do they feel nice and don’t catch on my skin or nails, but they work really well too. You get two in a pack, they are eco-friendly, super durable, and truly last wash after wash,” she said.
“I like to use the cloth in combination with this Comet spray cleaner that I always get from Dollar Tree. I like to put it in these little spray bottles in all of the bathrooms in my home and in my kitchen for easy access.”
For an efficient toilet cleaner, Jane mentioned a top-rated Dollar Tree product, Lime-A-Way, as one of her favorites.
It’s a thick gel formula that is applied around the rim of the toilet bowl and left to sit for about 10 minutes.
You can then scrub around the bowl with a toilet brush.
“And truly it gives you the most clean, beautiful toilet,” Jane stated.
Next, she talked about a product that you likely already have on hand – Dawn dish soap.
“It’s such an awesome household cleaner because it has so many amazing uses. And I have found it to be so helpful in cleaning these hard water stains that build up on glass shower doors.”
Jane demonstrated its efficiency on her shower doors by mixing one part of Dawn with one part of distilled white vinegar.
She poured it into a spray bottle, sprayed the solution onto the glass, and thoroughly rubbed it in.
“I like that it suds up a bit so you can see exactly where you are applying it so you don’t miss a spot. I let everything sit for about 10 minutes and then I rinse it off,” Jane said.
When she was done, she was left with gleaming glass. She noted that the results last for a couple of weeks.
Next up was something that will have your home smelling amazing.
“Now if you’re like me, when you smell a bad odor in your home, or in your car, your first instinct is going to be to cover up that odor with a nice smelling candle or fragrance or scent. But usually, that doesn’t end up working too well because the odor comes back.
“So really what you want to do is neutralize the air, or neutralize the odor by using an odor eliminator. And there’s a really good one at Dollar Tree – it’s this Smoke Odor Eliminator. But you can use it to neutralize other household odors [including] pets, your trash, and the bathroom.”
Jane also mentioned Palmolive SprayAway dish cleaner as a great buy.
You simply spray it onto your dirty dishes, pots, or pans, then wipe away the foam to save you from using all your energy scrubbing.

People in the comments section of Jane’s recoding were grateful for her finds, like one who wrote: “Thank you so much for making our lives much easier! You do all the hard work for us!”
Another added: “Thanks for all these hacks!! A life changer for me was the Dawn and vinegar for the glass shower. Try drying it with a squeegee instead of wiping it dry. I find it easier and streak-free!!”
