Do you know what time it is? The kids have gone back to school, the weather is cooling down, and soon the leaves on the trees will be changing colour. It’s fall cleaning time!


Why Is Fall Cleaning Important?


Cleaning Up From The Summer


Now that summer is over, it might be a good time to make sure any sand or other evidence of summer activities gets cleaned up, so it doesn’t hide under your rugs and in the corners of your rooms through the rest of the year.


Preparing For Fall Events


It might come as a surprise, but Thanksgiving is less than a month away! Having your home cleaned up and ready for autumn social events that usually have lots of family and friends visiting your home, like Thanksgiving or Halloween, gets things in your home ready for upcoming festivities. This also gives you a chance to decorate for Thanksgiving or Halloween with lots of time to enjoy your masterpiece! 


Getting Your Home Ready For Winter


In the Niagara region, we are about to go from air conditioning season to heating season. By giving your home a thorough fall cleaning, you can help prepare your home for this change in how your home will function. Take the time to change your furnace filters, clean your cold air return grates, make sure your windows are not drafty or damaged, and generally check your home over to make sure you are ready for when it starts to snow!


Uplift Cleaning Company Can Help!


Sometimes a homeowner may want or need some help to get a deep seasonal cleaning done in their home. Hiring a professional cleaning service is one way to help you make your home a professionally cleaned space! Perhaps you want to leave the cleaning to someone else so you can focus on more fun things like seasonal decoration? Uplift Cleaning Company can clean your home for you, but we probably shouldn’t design your Halloween decor!


Uplift Cleaning Company is an independent cleaning business based in Fort Erie, providing service throughout the Niagara region. We provide residential and commercial cleaning services as well as dog waste removal (poop scooping). 

 
 
 

Are you interested in changing the cleaning products in your home or office to those made in Canada by Canadian companies where possible? Look no further,  as we have done a lot of work reviewing cleaning products from Canadian companies! 


We have been trying to use as many Canadian cleaning products as possible since Uplift Cleaning Company was started in 2024. It wasn’t as critical as today, but as a Canadian small business, we felt it was important to source as much of our supply chain from within Canada as possible. What we found was a variety of high quality and effective cleaning products that are made in Canada by Canadian companies!


In August, we reposted our Buy Canadian Product Review series, with some new product reviews added. Please know, we were not sponsored to do this and bought all products tested with our own money. Only we had any say about our product reviews. 


Here you will find all of our product reviews organized into a mega blog so you can look for the products you are interested in from one place.


We have organized the cleaning products by category, with a link to the review on our blog and a link to the product vendor’s website so you can learn more about each item.

Thanks For Reading!


Thank you for your interest in our Buy Canadian Product Review series. It was a lot of work for more than a year to put this together on our end. Especially since February of 2025, it has been important to Uplift Cleaning Company that our cleaning supplies, both at work and at home, are as Canadian as possible. 


After all the work we have done to find and test Canadian cleaning products of different types, we can conclude that it definitely is possible to clean your home with products that are made in Canada. 


In general, we have found the products we have tested to be competitively priced, usually eco-friendly, high quality, and effective at their particular job. Using Canadian cleaning products in your home is not making a compromise in our opinion, but rather just different choices. The products we tested are not ones that you would see advertised widely, so our review series will hopefully help you save some time searching for the products that you need.


Uplift Cleaning Company is an independent cleaning business based in Fort Erie, Ontario, serving the Niagara region. We provide residential and office cleaning, as well as dog waste removal (poop scooping) service. We are proudly Canadian!

Shampoo & Body Wash


Product Review


Have you struggled to get your children to wash themselves with soap during bath time? We sure have! ATTITUDE Super Leaves Shampoo and Body Wash for Kids has helped us with that. In our family, we use this in combination with ATTITUDE Super Leaves Bubble Wash Unscented so that we can get our children clean from head to toe! The bubble wash makes a bubble bath that the children enjoy and the shampoo and body wash help us to get their hair washed. 


This product states that it has notes of blueberry. If one smells the shampoo and body wash directly from the bottle it is noticeable. However, in practice, there is no noticeable scent resulting from using this product.


The flip top bottle is handy for dispensing enough - but not too much - of the shampoo and body wash. It also prevents us from losing the top during use. As well, the bottle is small enough that children five to seven years old can hold onto it, allowing them to squeeze the shampoo and body wash out for themselves.


Overall, we like this shampoo and body wash for kids, as the children in our lives seem to enjoy using it. We think it is helping them learn how to wash themselves during bath time. This product is one that we have been using for about a year and will be using into the future. It is an Uplift Cleaning Company approved cleaning product for cleaning children!


Pros:


  • Easy to use shampoo and body wash for kids

  • Flip top bottle is handy for dispensing onto children’s heads and hands

  • Blueberry scent isn’t very strong and doesn’t last for long

  • Vegan

  • Made in Canada


Cons:


  • Blueberry scent isn’t very strong and doesn’t last for long

  • Can cause stinging in a child’s eyes


Where to get it?


Major Canadian retailers and the ATTITUDE website.
