What are the best made in Canada household cleaning products? 9 Canadian brands to clean your bathroom, kitchen, laundry room & more

Mar 05, 2025

"Made in Canada" grocery staples are often clearly labelled. Cleaning supplies? Not so much. With U.S. President Donald Trump's Canada tariffs officially kicking in on Tuesday, many Canadians are looking for domestic alternatives to American products, including those found in our cleaning cabinets.

There are a ton of homegrown businesses that offer effective — and oftentimes eco-friendly — alternatives to big-name American cleaning brands. If you're in the habit of buying all-purpose cleaners from U.S. brands like Lysol and Mr. Clean, you might be interested in made-in-Canada alternatives from Guests on Earth or Canadian Tire's FRANK, for example. Tru Earth and Good Juju are fantastic places to find laundry essentials, and Attitude is home to everything you need to clean your bathroom.

Because big American cleaning brands dominate the market, finding Canadian-made alternatives can sometimes be challenging, which is why we created this resource. If you want to buy Canadian products whenever possible, don't neglect your go-to home essentials and everyday cleaning supplies.

Unlike at the grocery store, where "made in Canada" labelling is made clear, the origins of fashion, beauty, personal care and home brands can be difficult to decipher. Is "made in Canada" the same as "based in Canada?" What about a Canadian brand no longer 100 per cent Canadian-owned, like Hudson's Bay and Tim Hortons?

To satisfy a "Product of Canada" claim, Canada's Competition Bureau requires non-food products to meet a "higher threshold of Canadian content" (98 per cent). "Made in Canada" claims are subject to a 51 per cent threshold of Canadian content "but should be accompanied by a qualifying statement indicating that the product contains imported content."

When a brand is based in Canada or owned/designed by Canadians, that doesn't automatically mean it's made in Canada. Shoppers still choose to support a Canadian-owned or founded business, but its manufacturing may occur overseas. That said, buying from online and brick-and-mortar Canadian retailers can help support Canadian workers, too. Roots, for example, is no longer completely Canadian-owned, but its leather goods are still hand-crafted in Toronto, Ont.

Procter & Gamble (P&G) brands, including Tide, Mr. Clean, Swiffer and Dawn. The Clorox Company brands, including Clorox Bleach, Pine-Sol, Liquid-Plumr and Clorox Disinfecting Wipes. Reckitt Benckiser brands, including Lysol, Dettol, Finish and Woolite. Church & Dwight Co. brands, including Arm & Hammer and OxiClean. SC Johnson brands, including Windex, Glade, Pledge and Scrubbing Bubbles.
