After cleaning homes professionally for 10 years, I swear by these 7 affordable supplies from Dollar Tree

Dollar Tree offers a wide range of affordable cleaning products that I swear by.

Ashley Archambault

Back in college, a friend of mine was working as a cleaner. One day, her partner couldn't help out with a client, so she asked if I'd be willing to step in.I enjoyed the work so much that I later started my own small cleaning-and-organizing business, which I ran for 10 years.During this time, I was always looking to cut business costs wherever I could, without sacrificing quality. I ended up relying on Dollar Tree for a lot of my high-wear-and-tear cleaning supplies.I'm no longer cleaning professionally, but I still use my favorite Dollar Tree essentials to clean and organize my own home. I recommend these seven items under $4 to all of my friends and family.

I stock up on Scrub Buddies heavy-duty scrub sponges.

A pack of two Scrub Buddies sponges costs just $1.50 at my local Dollar Tree.
