Thank you for participating in the first TRY-IT TUESDAY!

Your recommendations are below this video!

Nellie's (nelliesclean.ca) was by far the most-mentioned brand in the entire dataset, with dozens of enthusiastic comments about their laundry soda, dishwasher cubes, WOW Stick stain remover, and dryer balls. Made in the Lower Mainland, BC.
Tru Earth (ca.tru.earth) came in a strong second, with many comments praising their laundry detergent strips and dishwasher tabs. Made in Burnaby, BC. (Note: some commenters flagged that the strips contain polyvinyl alcohol, a synthetic polymer, so the "plastic-free" claim is contested.)
Eco-Max (eco-max.ca) got multiple recommendations for laundry detergent, dish soap, and dishwasher pods. Made in Canada with Canadian-sourced materials.
The Unscented Company (theunscented.co) was recommended several times, especially for those with sensitive skin or scent sensitivities. Available at Canadian Tire.
Attitude (attitudeliving.com) got multiple mentions for cleaning products and body wash. Quebec-based.
Oak and Willow (oakandwillow.store) received strong recurring praise, particularly for laundry powder, shampoo bars, and dish soap. Based in North Bay, ON.
Etee (shopetee.com) was recommended for laundry powder, beeswax wraps, and deodorant. Made in Toronto.
Down East was mentioned several times for dish soap and laundry detergent, made in Dartmouth, NS.
Biovert (biovert.com) got a handful of mentions as an eco-friendly Quebec-made laundry detergent.

Sprague Foods (spraguefoods.com) was the clear standout, with a very high volume of comments recommending their baked beans, soups, and chilis. Family-owned, Belleville, ON, operating since 1925.
Primo (primofoods.com) was frequently mentioned for ketchup and pizza/pasta sauces. Canadian-grown tomatoes, made in Ruthven, ON. Many commenters reported difficulty finding Primo ketchup in their area — availability is patchy.
Dora (superdoracanada.com) was recommended repeatedly for jams, jellies, and ketchup. Made in Quebec. Multiple commenters preferred it over Smucker's.
Aylmer got a handful of mentions for tomato soup and canned goods.
