DOLLAR TREE VS. NAME BRAND CLEANING SUPPLIES

[@paolasoltero53]

Does anyone know what I can use for latex painted walls everything makes the paint peel off ughh.

[@BargainBethany]

I don't know but I will pin your comment just in case someone knows!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Google it.

[@ceciliafuentes3299]

Sherwin Williams has a primer that is amazing. The people there can show you which one it is. They always have 30% or 40% sales, so the price is not as bad.

[@Mandamonster89]

Depends what you are trying to do- if you have a single stain that you want to address, try to find out what the stain is (food, dirt, other paint, etc.) if you take a soft brush (very soft like a gentle type toothbrush) and use some plain Dawn dish soap with warm water, it could help remove the stain. Don’t scrub crazy hard- use small circles. Once you rinse, if you still see a stain, try plain baking soda with the gentle brush. Wet the brush and dip it into some dry baking soda and do the same circular motion. I have the same problem and I’ve used the magic eraser but yes it does remove paint for sure.

[@briannaoduinn8902]

You aren't the first person that I've heard that from, but I have never had that problem and I only use latex paint. I have done entire walls with Magic Eraser and it only takes off the dirt. I'm so sorry that you have that problem.

[@robynwilliams5928]

I use the sham wows at Dollar Tree and cut them to fit my swiffer wet jet mop. I also use the dollar tree fabuloso and refill the swiffer bottle. Works great to mop my floors

[@meditation6259]

Omg such a great idea! 🤗

[@robynwilliams5928]

Meditation and I wash the dirty sham wow sheet strips with our towels. So you can use them multiple times

[@kimberlys719]

Robyn Williams How did you do that? How do you refill the bottle? I tried and I couldn’t take of the lid. So I put the pink pinalen diluted with water in a spray bottle and that’s how I use the swiffer wet jet mop for now. I do own a regular mop as well for deeper cleaning.

[@missMediaChick]

Wanted to leave a little cleaning tip, especially for those who want to save some money and/or use something gentler to clean their tub and shower. I'd seen it mentioned many times, and finally tried it last year. Sprinkle some baking soda and add some Dawn dish liquid (other quality dish liquids would probably work), then swish some water in, and clean with a cloth or sponge. I've used so many different products the past 30 years, and was never completely happy with any of them. This, however... perfection! I seriously couldn't believe how well it gets off soap scum. Why did I wait so long to try it?! A handy tool, btw...Vileda (and maybe someone else) has a sponge on a handle that's about 2 feet long. The sponge end pivots, and the sponge is removable and replaceable. Total game changer for anyone who has physical problems cleaning that space. 😊

[@smpendleton]

missMediaChick, thanks for the info I’m going to try it. Be safe and take care.

[@rubygraham374]

I like this tip I will have to try it. I am never happy with the results of the cleaners on my tub.

[@sunshinegirl0778]

Thank you for the information. I will try it.

[@JBIRDRN8]

Yes I’d like to see more comparisons of any kind!!

[@MDJeeper]

Hey Bethany! Awesome video as always! I just want to let you know that the dollar tree oven cleaner is a really great product. The best way to use it is to heat your oven first then spray the oven, just follow the directions on the can. But MOST importantly, that product has LYE as the main ingredient and will burn your skin! And you should not inhale it! So next time maybe don’t use it when you’re pregnant, and wear gloves and a mask. If you read the back label of it you’ll see that it gives the warnings about the Lye. I used it earlier this year in January to clean my friend’s oven and I couldn’t even stay in the room while it was penetrating the oven while cleaning. And I definitely had to use those long kitchen gloves and some of it still got up on the high part of my arms and made me itch and I had to wash them right away. So please be careful! But if you do clean the oven using the warm method, you only have to wipe the grease once and it comes right off. You will not have to respray again. It really is amazing! I hope you don’t take any of my comments as being condescending or criticizing. I’m just trying to be helpful. I care about you and your health and your baby! Please take care of yourself! And I hope that you Matt and baby and the rest of your family are staying safe and well!💟🤗🙏

I like these kind of videos!!! Maybe compare... Ziplock bags Tupperware Flip flops Batteries Foil and clear wrap Trash bags

[@uphillhomestead6188]

From my own use...the trash bags rip so easily that they aren't worth it. The flip flops are great! The batteries don't last long at all.

[@spidermonkey1962]

Thanks for this Bethany. I think a lot of The Dollar Tree products are just as good as name brands. As far as your white sink, I used to have one in my last kitchen and it always turned yellow. I would always have to use Soft Scrub not abrasive cleanser, then it would be bright white again. I think it's just those kind of sinks.

[@yvettegomez4588]

Thank you Bethany for going the extra mile to inform us of the comparison on the products. Some I knew about already and some I didn't. Pretty interesting stuff.

[@lilbb257]

Thank you! You did a great, informative and professional job on these comparisons!

[@madami1425]

Love this video! Sometimes "knock off" brands work better than the actual name brand!🤷‍♀️

[@casperpink41]

It would be nice to see the comparison of Oxyclean vs LA's Totally Awesome Oxygen both sold at DT.

[@cathybiller9203]

I've not done a comparison but I've used both I like the DT better 1st the price I also like how the clothes smell fresher plus I've got a cat that will pee on a towel or clothing on the floor and it gets that odor out I like the LA products better in general I use the $ laundry soap and the yellow grease remover I think it is a bit stronger than Mean green No scientific test I just like the cheapers better

[@Lizz7465]

My Mom & I always knew that most Dollar Tree cleaning products are really good. However, those wet mop cloths were an eye opener! I am going to pick them up the next time I see them. Love your content!

[@missp7423]

The dry "swiffer" cloths also work really well. 😀

[@jenniferelise9891]

Yes, that oven cleaner will take it all off..I have an oven that is from the 70's that looked as if it had never been cleaned...it looked brand new after I was done but I left it on over night! Also, I used the non-scent kind.

[@arleneorozco0326]

I use the LA AWESOME (yellow liquid) for the stove all the time. I spray and wash the dishes, let it sit in. Then I pretty much wipe off all the stains off the stove. It works awesome 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Thank you so much for showing these comparisons, Bethany. It definitely helps to know this during the pandemic, when everyone is trying to clean on a budget (or at least should be trying to). As a nurse, I want to give a gentle recommendation. Please wear gloves when you are touching these cleaning chemicals. I just want you to keep yourself (and your baby) safe. God Bless! 😇🙏🏻

[@jenniferggreer457]

i love these kind ofcomparrison videos! it is helpful not to have to try and see what fails on my budget i need to just buy the thing that works. Thanks so much for doing them for us. Cant much think of anything else right now, but so far, so good!

[@nancyabercrombie5052]

I use rejuvenate that you buy at Home Depot on my wood floors. They also make it for tile floors. It works wonders and does make your floors look new.

[@noxie96]

I use a lot of dollar tree products for cleaning. I like some of the bath and beauty products our dollar trees have (we have 5 within driving distance no longer than 20 minutes). Bolero products seems to be pretty good. I have the face wash and face oil and just purchased a bar of soap.

[@Diane56ful]

I was looking for a video that compared the scrubbing bubbles to the bathroom cleaner. So glad you compared it! I’m going to be using some of these DT products! Thank you!!

I love that you have a hard time finding dirt at your house. You can come to mine the next time that you need to compare cleaning products! lol

Lol Brianna. Well when baby comes, I'm sure things will change. Since it's just Matt and I for the most part things stay clean and since we are in quarantine I ain't got nothing bettrr to do then keep things clean. Lol

[@smpendleton]

Brianna O'Duinn 😂😂😂😂😂❤️

[@paolasoltero53]

I would like to see personal care and beauty products comparisons😃

[@missMediaChick]

I'd be very cautious with those products. They're almost always made in China, and use ingredients that make it much cheaper. It can cause some bad reactions on your skin. The actual efficacy of them can be dubious as well.

[@rubygraham374]

Me too. I have been burned in the past trying to buy off-brand products and tend to steer away from them. I would love to save money though.

I think the dollar tree swiffer clothes are great for someone who has smaller spaces to clean. For instance my place is mainly carpet. So I use it for the kitchen and another wipe for the bathroom...they're small areas I'm just weird about crossing over. If you have a mainly hard floor area, swiffer or the Wal-Mart brand is the better option

[@s.sflower]

Good point 👍🏼

[@rosalrosa5346]

Rosa L Rosa You seriously have to try them out 😊 The toilet bowl cleaner and the Dollar Tree version of Febreeze are AMAZING.

[@JudyThompson.]

I use knock off products quite a bit but the Swiffer cloth versus the generic cloth is where I would purchase the name brand. In my experience Swiffer cloths are more durable and will do more area. It also has the green scrubbing edge which comes in handy. I like the DT fabric refresher and sometimes they carry the wrinkle reducer spray which is nice to have. Stay safe and healthy.

[@JuliaBGK]

[@yanii0322]

Hey great video thanks for the comparisons! A hack for scrub buddies wet sweeper cloths is i use a spray bottle fill it with water, all purpose cleaning solution, and a little bit of clorox mix that up and when i feel the cloth is getting dry sprits some of that and helps clean my home with 2 cloths depending on how dirty my house is and its a bigger house so yeah really reccomend you try because even when you spend more on buying the other items they last a long time because you only use a bit at a time.

[@shawnapruitt2482]

The Texas Toast in the frozen section is awesome

[@ericag6876]

For the sink I have the same issue and the lime away from dollar tree works amazing to get rid of the yellowing. pour it on the spots and let it sit for awhile and give it a scrub and it works great

[@darlenemullins]

Thank you for doing the comparisons. It's nice to nice that DT products work well. 💖

[@ayila4903]

So I also have a swifer and what I do is use some microfiber cloths instead of the disposable sheets...because I can use whatever solution I want for whatever floor I'm cleaning , I put my solution in a spray bottle and the microfiber cloths fit the swifter no problem and then when I'm dont I just toss the cloths in the wash...saves me a ton...

Ovens are such a pain to clean and the bottom where everything seems to boil over and find its way piling up and becoming a hard baked on mess is the worst! I found at my local grocery stores they have something in the temple section that is called oven liners and it's a big thin sheet of aluminum and they're disposable so I put an oven liner on the bottom of mine wipe them and clean them the best I can until they get disgusting and throw them away, such a Time Saver and makes the oven so much cleaner, just thought I would share with everyone! 🤗❤

I really enjoyed the comparisons. I tend to NOT but DT cleaning products bcuz I'm not sure how good they are, so this video was super helpful.

If you can find it, the Home Store Glass & Surface Cleaner this is 13oz in a can is the best window cleaner that I have ever used. And it's ammonia free. Thanks Bethany!!❤

[@itsreallymefyi]

I was going to comment this! A friend of mine worked as a cleaner for a resort and they used that. She's a realtor now and gives it to homeowners to use before an open house. She swears it sells the houses for her. 😂 It's an amazing product, I haven't used windex in years.

[@lisamoody212]

I use the Dollar Tree Laundry detergent, fabric softener, foaming window spray, toilet bowl cleaner, fabric “booster” powder and countless other cleaners. Would love to see a laundry comparison (while not great on tough stains), they work GREAT on everyday laundry.

[@Queen_of_Hearts-Sharnell]

I love comparisons. A lot of times Dollar tree sells packages of 4 when you can get packages of 6 or 8 at Walmart for the same price, same brand. Or they charge $1 for the same thing other stores have for 59 cents!

[@galememeeof6688]

This was very helpful. I always wonder if the cheaper stuff works. If you plan on using the Easy Off oven cleaner again please read the directions. Maybe it's changed since I used it last but it used to say use in a well ventilated area and avoid the fumes. I'd worry since you are pregnant. And maybe gloves for the harsh stuff like that and the CLR.

[@yvetteburesch9018]

For the sink-I would recommend trying baking soda with hot water-leave it for 10 minutes then scrub. Then heating up some white vinegar with dawn soap mixed in. Spray it then leave for 15 minutes. It’s all natural and it would clean the sink plus it would make the stainless steel drain thing clean too. I’ve used it in my tub and sink and it is amazing, makes everything shiny and clean! Got it from a KZbin video here’s the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5ulZHeAe66Dla8

[@myste1973]

What do you use instead of window cleaner?

[@missMediaChick]

We must have recently watched the same video, lol! I'm glad you did the test for yourself. The results were the same as in the other video. Everything from Dollar Tree worked just as well, except for a couple of differences. The eraser isn't as durable and wears down faster, and the cloths for the mop aren't very saturated or thick, so you need to use more than one. I think the biggest bang for your buck has to be the RLC vs the CLR. That stuff is really useful, but it's also pretty expensive. It's about $8 or more in Canada. Thanks for confirming these results!

[@beachlover4413]

Bethany, for your drain, try brillo or SOS just slightly wet. I cut my pads in half because they rust and I don't use too often.

Thank it is nice to see a comparison knowing where you can save money. The one thing I have person experience is with the dish soap. I had just started dating my bf and was washing dishes and I told him the one rule, no more dollar soap. It cleans but you go through more product with more scrubbing so I used it up quick and never allowed it back in. Haha he also had the window cleaner so that was okay.

The oven cleaner works amazing when you use the warm oven method otherwise it is recommended to let soak for like 4 hours. I always use it in the warm method and it gets all my grease grease spills out. Door glass too!

[@debbiemcnamee2645]

I couldn't tell what kind of tiles you were cleaning by the basement but if they're the ceramic/porcelain type try spraying the bathroom cleaner on them, leave it sit for a few minutes then use the DT magic eraser on them. Then take a wet cloth to wipe the cleaner and dirt off. Works great for tiles but I'm not sure how it works on linoleum type tiles. Do a few tiles at a time to make it easier as well.

[@erikaperales3434]
