33. Disinfectant Wipes

Pretty self-explanatory. I’m partial to the Scentiva wipes because they literally smell like a vacation.

34. Trash Bags

Again, probably obvious. Get the Tall Kitchen size to fit most dorm trash cans.

35. Compost Bags

My school provided us with compost bins, but not all schools do, so these are great if your school has a composting program.

36. Dish Soap

Method dish soap is my all-time favorite and their Lime + Sea Salt scent smells exactly like Bath & Body Works Coconut Lime.

37. Dish Sponges

Okay, these look funny but I swear they are the BEST for cleaning even the most-stuck on food off your dishes. Try them and you’ll be a convert!

38. All-Purpose Cleaner

I use this for my desk, my shelves, and even my mirrors and windows because it doesn’t streak. The Peony Mrs. Meyers is the best scent ever!

39. Lightweight Vacuum

I didn’t get one of these when I was a freshman and I wish I had! Sophomore year I upgraded and my room was so much cleaner all the time. At just $29, this powerful vacuum is a MUST have.

40. Dustpan Set

A simple dustpan and broom set is so helpful for cleaning up small messes around the dorm when you don’t want to bust out the vacuum.

41. Paper Towels

I like to buy the big packs of paper towels on Amazon Prime and have them auto-delivered when I run out.

42. Trash Can

Most schools provide this for students, so check before you buy.

College Toiletries/Bath Products

A lot of this is going to vary depending on your personal grooming habits, but here’s a list of the basic toiletries and bath products you definitely need for college.

43. Towels

Buy at Target

You definitely need a set of towels for college. These are the exact towels I have in my house today and they are INCREDIBLE for the price! So soft and absorbent.

44. Bathrobe

Buy at SKIMS

I loved having a robe for walking from the showers to your room (I just hung it up while I showered). I got this SKIMS cozy robe for my birthday and I practically live in it now; it’s the comfiest robe ever.
