Best Canadian Companies to Elevate your Guest Experience
When choosing the best products to use in your business, it can be overwhelming - especially if you are looking for local companies. With Over Sea, we value Canadian brands and use them to elevate each and every guest experience. Below, we’ve listed our fellow Canadian companies that we love to use in our rentals (and day-to-day life!).
For all of our cleaning needs, Swish is one of our top contenders! A family business originally from Ontario, Swish has been around for over 50 years, making fantastic cleaning products that make our properties sparkle even after the messiest of guests.
It is important to include some amenities at your properties to make guest’s stay feel like home. That’s why we choose to include East Coast Glow products in our units. From Newfoundland, this natural and sustainable brand offers some of the best hair care and body products for our guests.
Some kitchen amenities that can make a guest’s experience more seamless are salt, pepper and cooking oil. For us, we knew we had to include the delicious Luckett Vineyards Olive Oil in our suites. Luckett Vineyards is located in Nova Scotia’s wine country of Wolfville, (just 1 hour away from some of our best vacation rentals!), and offers tastings, tours and great local finds.
At some of our Premier Properties, we offer additional amenities, such as local snacks and refreshments. Covered Bridge Potato Chips is one of our favorite ways to elevate home movie and game nights, so naturally we had to include it in our list! From New Brunswick, these kettle cooked chips satisfy our salty, crunchy cravings!
There’s nothing better than waking up and smelling that first cup of coffee while on vacation. In all of our short term rentals, we have a coffee machine and freshly ground Detour Coffee for our guests to enjoy. From Ontario, Detour Coffee offers delicious flavor profiles, and clearly cares about not only transparency but quality in every sip.
Quality and scent-free products are always our top priority as hosts. We never know what allergens our guests may have, so we like to always be prepared. This is why using The Unscented Company for our dish soap and laundry detergent was a no-brainer! From Montreal, this sustainable, woman-led company continues to bring quality products to our guests.
Often overlooked, but even your garbage and recycling can be canadian-owned! Al-Pack is our go-to garbage, recycling and compost bag company from New Brunswick. Knowing the demands of Canadian weather and disposal requirements, supporting local has never been easier.
Supporting Canadian companies has never been easier as our economy continues to grow and support small businesses. From your favorite snacks to your garbage, there’s a way for everyone to incorporate local into every step of the process. All you have to do it look!
We hope that you love these products as much as we do! If there’s a Canadian company that you love to use at your short term rental property, drop it in the comments below!
