We Rate the Top-Selling Amazon Surface Cleaners in Canada

Although it’s sitting in our tenth position, make no mistake, Lysol All-Purpose Cleaner will always make it into our Amazon cart. With the cold and flu season, which lately seems more like a never-ending cycle than a season, we are committed to having this all-purpose cleaner on hand at all times. It kills 99.9 per cent of bacteria and viruses without containing bleach or dyes. Plus, the refreshing coconut and sea mineral scents make it easy to imagine you’re on a tropical vacation, not cleaning up after your sick family.

Lysol All-Purpose Cleaner, Amazon, $5.

Several variations of this all-purpose cleaner frequent Amazon Canada’s best-sellers list, and for good reason. The vegan and cruelty-free formula is formulated with 94 per cent naturally derived ingredients and is EWG VERIFIED™, so you can be confident that no one in your home — from you and your kids to pets — is touching harsh chemicals. Choose from the natural citrus zest or relaxing lavender scents, or opt for the unscented formula. While we can’t argue the reliability this cleaner, it doesn’t quite stack up to the next products on our list. 

ATTITUDE All-Purpose Cleaner Disinfectant, Amazon, $4.

ARM & HAMMER Baking Soda, Amazon, $6.

Amongst our top five favourite products is an all-purpose disinfectant that is not for the faint-hearted — or for faint stains. The spray with bleach is formulated for your dirtiest, toughest jobs: stubborn grease, food or mildew stains and soap scum. While there’s nothing but good things to say about its effectiveness, Fantastik users will agree it’s a product best used with the windows wide open.

Give me a power nozzle, and cleaning instantly becomes more fun. Our fourth place product allows you to pull the trigger for short, medium, or continuous bursts of a solution that claims to have three times the cleaning power of the leading all-purpose cleaner. Though it can be used throughout your home, Clean Freak truly shines when tackling kitchen grease.

In third place, we have an effective eco-friendly option, the Method All-Purpose Cleaner is plant-based and cruelty free. Say goodbye to any chemical smell and hello to Method’s five fragrances: clementine, honeycrisp apple, lavender, lime and sea salt and pink grapefruit.
