LA’s Totally Awesome Cleaner sets big expectations with its name, but according to many of its users, it really is totally awesome. The bottle claims the cleaner is effective for removing everything from blood, to gum, to hair dye, and it can be found both at Dollar Tree and Dollar General. For the most part, LA’s Totally Awesome Cleaner seems just as good as its fans claim — that is, if you don’t have a sensitive nose.
Dollar Tree’s website attracted plenty of five star reviews, including from users who claim the cleaner worked on “dirty farm clothes,” and oily engines. If you want to watch the cleaner in action, there are dozens of YouTube videos where users try Totally Awesome on their own tough stains. Watching dirt drip off DT’s tires after just a few sprays is pretty satisfying. If you’re skeptical that the cleaner works on fabric, watch YouTuber 505BOSE use a scrub brush to get stains out of car seats. While the stains required a little more scrubbing work, the final results are impressive, and most of the visible stains wipe right off.

Similar comments were found on Influenster reviews, with one commenter saying “It works great — the smell is the only thing that would keep me from buying it.”
Still, even with some comments about the smell, which, according to Apartment Therapy, has a grapefruit scent, many agree that it is still worth it for its intense cleaning abilities and low price.
Don’t forget to dilute the cleaner
