Spring is here, and with it that irresistible urge to clean everything, start fresh, and breathe in a home that smells amazing. But this year, what if you did your spring cleaning differently? Instead of filling your cart with products full of unpronounceable chemicals, discover why more and more Canadians are switching to a natural all-purpose cleaner, effective, safe for the whole family and respectful of the environment. At SOJA&CO., we formulated exactly what you need.

Conventional cleaner vs. natural all-purpose cleaner: what's the difference?

If you've ever flipped over a bottle of conventional cleaner to read the ingredient list, you've probably had trouble deciphering what you were looking at. Conventional products often contain phosphates, ammonia, synthetic dyes and artificial fragrances that can irritate the airways, eyes and skin, especially in children and pets.

In contrast, a non-toxic multi-surface cleaner relies on plant-based cleaning agents that get the job done without compromising your health or the planet's. SOJA&CO.'s formula is a perfect example:

A transparent and certified formula: real INCI ingredients

The credibility of a natural product starts with its ingredient list. Here's what you'll find in SOJA&CO.'s natural all-purpose cleaner:

• Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (plant-derived): An effective foaming and cleaning agent derived from coconut or corn oil. Biodegradable.

• C9-11 Alkyl Polyglucoside: A gentle surfactant derived from glucose and vegetable fatty alcohol, perfect for cutting through grease and grime without damaging surfaces.

• Natural chelating agents: Keep the formula effective even in Quebec's hard water.

• Natural fragrances: Plant-based, phthalate-free, with no undisclosed allergens.

• Purified water: The base of the formula, with no unnecessary chemical preservatives.

No unnecessary ingredients, no opacity. This transparency is one of SOJA&CO.'s core values, because you deserve to know exactly what you're using in your home.

 

Three scents to turn cleaning into a moment of well-being

Cleaning shouldn't feel like a chore, it should feel like a ritual. That's the spirit behind SOJA&CO.'s natural all-purpose cleaner, available in three permanent basics, always in stock, and carefully chosen to elevate the everyday cleaning experience.

Lemon, Sage & Rosemary

This invigorating blend combines the bright tartness of lemon, the herbal depth of sage and the woody notes of rosemary. A scent made for the kitchen: it neutralizes cooking odours, gives an immediate sense of cleanliness and gently scents the air without irritating airways. Perfect after meal prep or to freshen up a countertop.

Sizes and pricing: an option for every Canadian home

One of the strongest arguments for SOJA&CO.'s eco-friendly cleaner is its flexibility. It's available in two formats to suit every need:

• 475 ml ($13): Ideal for trying the scents or for small spaces, perfect tucked under the sink or in the pantry. Great as a gift too.

• 4 L refill gallon: The ultimate eco-responsible choice. This large format significantly reduces packaging waste and lets you refill your 475 ml spray bottle indefinitely, a concrete zero-waste habit, easy to adopt.

Want to save even more? The Cleaning Duo ($23 instead of $26) combines the all-purpose cleaner with our natural dish soap, the winning combo for your whole kitchen.

Vegan, B Corp certified and made in Quebec: why it matters

In a market flooded with products that call themselves "natural" without any proof, SOJA&CO.'s certifications speak for themselves:

• Certified vegan: no animal-derived ingredients, no animal testing. An ethical commitment that goes beyond marketing.

• B Corp certification: SOJA&CO. is part of the global movement of businesses that place people and planet on equal footing with profit. This certification demands full transparency on social, environmental and governance practices.

• Made in Quebec: every bottle is produced locally, reducing the carbon footprint from transport and supporting the local economy. When you choose SOJA&CO., you're putting your trust in a family business founded in Montreal.

These certifications aren't decorative badges. They represent hundreds of hours of work, rigorous audits and a constant commitment to responsible business practices. When you buy a SOJA&CO. natural all-purpose cleaner, you're voting for a different kind of company.

How to use your natural all-purpose cleaner: room by room

One of the great advantages of an all-purpose cleaner is its versatility. Here's how to get the most out of it in every room:

Kitchen

Spray directly on countertops, the cooled stovetop, the outside of the oven, the top of the fridge or the inside of the microwave. Let sit for 30 seconds, then wipe with a damp cloth. Recommended: Lemon, Sage & Rosemary for an immediate sense of freshness.

Bathroom

This non-toxic eco cleaner works great on the sink, bathtub rim, countertop and the outside of the toilet. For the shower, spray the walls and let sit for a few minutes before rinsing. Recommended: Eucalyptus + Grapefruit for intense freshness, or Melon + Salty Air for a lighter feel.

Living room and bedrooms

Great for coffee tables, light switches, door handles, window frames and hard surfaces in general. Perfect for a quick clean between deeper sessions.

Laundry room

Round out your cleaning routine with SOJA&CO.'s linen water for fresh laundry and impeccably clean dish towels.

Eco-responsible spring cleaning: small actions, big impact

Switching to a natural home cleaner is already a great first step. Here are a few more ways to make your spring cleaning even greener:

• Choose washable cloths over disposable paper towels.

• Refill your 475 ml spray bottle with the 4 L gallon to reduce plastic waste.

• Choose complementary natural products: dish soap, linen water, etc., all available in the SOJA&CO. cleaning collection.

• Ventilate your rooms during and after cleaning to clear dust and refresh the air.

• Dispose of old chemical products at an eco-centre, never down the sink or toilet.

FAQ: natural all-purpose cleaner

Is a natural all-purpose cleaner as effective as a conventional product?

Yes. Plant-based surfactants like C9-11 Alkyl Polyglucoside and plant-derived SLS are just as effective at removing grease and grime as their petrochemical counterparts. The difference is that they biodegrade quickly and leave no toxic residue in your home or in the environment.

Can it be used on all surfaces?

SOJA&CO.'s cleaner is designed for hard, non-porous surfaces: countertops, tile, enamel, stainless steel and plastic. On glass, it cleans effectively, but since it's not specifically formulated for windows, it may leave slight streaks or marks when wiping. For mirrors and windows, we recommend a dedicated glass cleaner for a flawless result. It's also not recommended on untreated solid wood or delicate surfaces like natural marble without testing first.

Is it safe for children and pets?

Yes. SOJA&CO.'s non-toxic formula is specifically designed to be safe in households with children and animals. No chlorine bleach, no ammonia, no artificial dyes. As with any cleaning product, it's recommended to rinse food-contact surfaces after cleaning.

What's the difference between the 475 ml and the 4 L gallon?

The 475 ml is the ready-to-use spray format, ideal for getting started or as a gift. The 4 L is the refillable format that lets you top up your spray bottle indefinitely, reduces packaging waste and represents significant long-term savings. The ideal choice for anyone committed to a zero-waste lifestyle.
