Buying Canadian isn’t just patriotic - it’s a practical move.


With tariffs climbing, global shipping still in flux, and sustainability top of mind, shopping local just makes sense. And luckily, Canada’s cleaning game is strong.


If you’re looking to stock your Edmonton home with products that are eco-conscious, homegrown, and thoughtfully made - look no further. We’ve rounded up ten Canadian brands that cover everything from minimalist dish soap to industrial-grade degreasers.


Whatever your strain of eco-devotion, there’s something here for you!


Let’s get into it…


1. Attitude:  For the Scent Storyteller

Attitude Orange and Sage Canadian all-purpose cleaner in bathroom

For those who crave more than just ‘clean’... For those who want a spritz of something layered and fresh, not your run-of-the-mill lemon…Attitude’s All-Purpose Cleaner brings the vibes. Scents like Geranium & Lemongrass or Orange & Sage bring a layered complexity - intentional, elevated, and Canadian-made. It’s a scent story, not a scent stereotype.

We like: Attitude Orange & Sage All-Purpose Cleaner — a fresh, citrus-herb blend that makes wiping down the counters feel more like aromatherapy than a chore.

2. Mint Cleaning:  For the Modern Bohemian

If your aesthetic leans plants-over-plastics and your cleaning caddy looks like it could be in a lifestyle shoot, Mint fits right in. This BC-based brand is all about small-batch, essential-oil-forward formulations that clean with clarity and scent with subtlety. These handcrafted formulas rely on essential oils and smart simplicity - but don’t mistake their softness for weakness.


We like: Mint Cleaning Glass Cleaner — A streak-free spray that brings clarity and calm to every window and mirror, with peppermint and rosemary doing the aromatherapeutic heavy lifting.

We like: Green Beaver Castile Soap in Frosty Mint - Cooling, clean, and endlessly versatile. It’s as crisp as it is versatile, cutting through grime with the ease of a familiar ritual.
