About Us
We’re a Saskatoon based, female owned, intentional cleaning business that is passionate about health and wellness, and of course, cleaning!
We believe a clean home is a crucial part in being able to prioritize yourself and your family’s wellbeing. We also believe that within your clean home, you can feel good about the products that are being used to make it look good.
Why did we start Conscious Cleaning?
After working in the industry for 2+ years, we reflected on the multitude of products we were using every day. Bathroom cleaners, kitchen cleaners, floor cleaners, all purpose, window cleaner, oven cleaners… There was a branding for each section of the home. This started to seem more and more ridiculous as we kept thinking about it, as we knew it didn’t have to be this complicated.
Along with the unnecessary complexity, both of us have gone through our own health journeys. We started looking into the effects that the ingredients in these popluar products can have on us.
There are the immediate signs like the negative effect on your breathing, your skin, and your eyes. We experienced this when using typical cleaning products. We questioned: If this is how it affects us in the moment, how could this be affecting ours and our clients health long term? This led us to research some long term effects of popular and commonly used cleaning products.
We found that ingredients like phthalates and parabens which are found in a lot of common household products, can negatively affect hormonal health. They’re both linked to male inferititly and estrogen imbalances in women.
Many popular cleaning products and air fresheners also include fragrances which are known to disrupt hormones, negatively affect your respiratory health, and can negatively impact neurological health short and long term.
Some cleaning products (bleach, air fresheners, some dishwashing products) contain VOC’s that have been linked to cancer.
With deep care for our own health and our clients health, we wanted to do our very best to provide a service that had wellbeing top of mind, while still providing a revitalized home for you to come home to.
