Products I Use & Trust
Over the years, I’ve tried a lot of cleaning products and tools. The ones listed here are what I actually use in real homes, including my own. Nothing fancy, nothing trendy, just things that work and make cleaning feel a little easier.
I believe in using products that are effective, thoughtful, and aligned with my values.
Cleaning Products
Why these products?
I choose products that:
Work well in real, lived-in homes
Feel safe to use around families and pets
Align with my values around care and sustainability
Make cleaning feel calmer, not stressful
I don’t believe you need a cupboard full of products to keep a home clean.
My go-to for everyday cleaning. Eco-friendly, effective, and made by an Indigenous-owned business on Treaty 6 territory.
Some of the tools I use are from Amazon simply because they’re easy to access and reliable. These are everyday items I actually use, practical, straightforward, and easy to replace.

Most of these are easy-to-find items I regularly pick up from Canadian Tire. They’re reliable, affordable, and get the job done.
