Its time to clean your dorm! Use these 17 cleaning supplies that students are actually using to keep their dorm clean.
We have all been there.
Your dorm is dirty for 2 weeks in a row and the breakdown you just had caused you to go into a cleaning frenzy. Again we have all been there.
BUT good news, we have the products you actually need to keep your dorm room clean now and throughout the semester.
If you want a step-by-step guide on how to clean it, read our post here.
Essential Cleaning Supplies For The Dorm
1. Dorm Multipurpose Cleaning Kit
Cleaning kits are the dream.
They are so much cheaper than buying each separately.
This one includes a small broom & dustpan, cleaning wipes, scrub, Windex, and multi-purpose cleaner.
2. Hand-Held Vacuum
Let’s be honest, your dorm room is TINY but you can help save space with this small vacuum.
I wouldn’t recommend buying a large one unless you have the room.
3. Clorox Disinfecting Wipes
These were a LIFESAVER in college.
Okay, maybe not literally but you will need these.
These wipes kept my bathroom spotless and I stored them undeath my bathroom cabinet. I included the link to a multipack so you don’t have to keep running to the store when you run out!
4. Swifter
You vacuumed the floor but don’t miss out on this sweeper.
It cleans your wooden floors so easily and instead of dealing with a large bucket you just throw it away.
5. Stain Remover
This pink stuff can get anythingggg out. In college, you have to leave the room as you found it or you have to pay some major fines.
However, this can get stains or really anything you need out.
6. Paper Towels
Paper towels sound obvious to bring right?
Except I forgot to bring mine so make sure to pack some!
7. Cleaning Basket
You are going to want a place to keep all of your cleaning supplies, especially if you do not have your own bathroom.
I kept all of mine in my bathroom but my friends that didn’t have one used this basket!
8. Spray Dawn Powerwash
I LOVE this spray.
In your dorm, you should be packing some plates and silverware. This dawn powerwash is the perfect way to clean them and all you do is spray it.
I’m in a sorority right now and literally, all of the sisters have it.
9. Windex Spray
Windex helps clean your mirrors and glass in your dorm room.
10. Clorox Cleaning Wand
If you have a private bathroom you will need this.
Your toilet gets dirtyyyyy.
These toilet wands sit right next to the toilet and as soon as it gets dirty, stick it inside the toilet! Then tada its done.
Cleaning Supplies To Keep Your Dorm Smelling Amazing
11. Scented Trash Bag
Please make sure your dorm smells good.
These trash bags are scented so even your trash won’t smell.
12. Febreeze
Febreeze is best for shared bathrooms. Wink wink.
13. Plug-in Air Freshener
I swear by these plug-in air fresheners.
They are the best way to keep your dorm smelling good while also staying in budget. You can change the amount that comes out depending on how much scent you want.
My favorite scent is Stay Cool Watermelon but decide with your roommate and pick what you both will like!
14. Gloves
Cleaning can get nasty (or at least I don’t enjoy touching dirt).
However, cleaning in a dorm is worse. You are living in a room where hundreds have lived before you.
Please bring gloves.
15. Scrub Daddy
This is the best scrub you will find and in college, we are all broke.
Don’t buy a bunch of different brands for different things. Just buy a scrub daddy and you’re good to go.
Cleaning Supplies For Dorm Laundry
16. Tide Detergent
College do not provide tide detergent or any laundry supplies to students.
You will have to buy and bring your own. I use and love Tide but pick your own favorite!
17. Fabric Wipes
This is another thing the school does not pay for.
Many students use a wide range of different brands but many students like me, use this brand!
