Whether they're for a mountain of dirty dishes or stubborn clothing stains, cleaning supplies are one thing you never want to be without. However, all those bottles of disinfectant spray, dish soap, all-purpose cleaner, and stain remover can run you a hefty bill—especially if you’re shopping name-brand. Enter: Dollar Tree. The discount retailer is selling dupes for The Pink Stuff, Mr. Clean, and even celebrity-owned cleaning brands, according to influencer Lora McLaughlin (@lorafied).

1. Dupe for The Pink Stuff

When it comes to removing stubborn stains and caked-on grime, many people rely on The Pink Stuff to get the job done. The mildly abrasive paste (popular for its bubblegum pink persona) blew up on TikTok and is now considered a cleaning staple in homes across the country. It costs about $6 from retailers like Amazon and Target.
But according to McLaughlin's latest video, Dollar Tree's brand Homebright works just as well—and it costs 75 percent less.
Homebright’s cleaning line includes power foaming carpet cleaner, glass cleaner, all-purpose cleaner, and kitchen cleaner, all of which can be purchased for just $1.25 each at Dollar Tree.
2. Dupe for HomeCourt

This Dollar Tree brand is a dupe for "an incredibly fancy, high-end cleaning brand" sold online, noted McLaughlin.
The luxury brand in question? HomeCourt, a nontoxic homecare company founded by Friends star Courteney Cox.
HomeCourt items are known for their sleek, black packaging—as mimicked by Dollar Tree. Aside from their fragrances, the main difference between the two brands is their pricing, which has a 95 percent cost variation.
In terms of Homecourt, McLaughlin said, "It’s so expensive, three products are about 75 bucks." Meanwhile, Dollar Tree charges 1.25 per item.
3. Dupe for Mr. Clean Magic Eraser

Stop spending big bucks on Mr. Clean Magic Erasers at Target and Walmart. Instead, pick up a Scrub Buddies Quick Eraser for $1.25 at Dollar Tree.
"They’re exactly the same," McLaughlin told followers. To prove her point, she pulled a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser from her cart, unboxed it, and compared it to a Scrub Buddies eraser while on camera.
"Same sponge, different packaging," she concluded.

Shoppers can also snag $1.25 Shout Wipes dupes at Dollar Tree. As McLaughlin pointed out in her video, the two products look (and work!) exactly the same.

"This little guy is a dupe for the Dawn Power Wash, and honestly, it’s getting incredible reviews," said McLaughlin about the Homebright Ultra Foaming Dish Spray. "Best of all, it’s going to save you 50 percent buying it this way."
Similar to Dawn, Homebright’s dishwashing spray works overtime to tackle tough grease and stains and remove stuck-on food. Plus, you can use it on pots and pans. It comes in an ocean breeze scent.
