Spring cleaning is a familiar ritual for Canadians. A seasonal reset that goes beyond tidying up to reflect a shift in mindset as winter ends. But while the intention is widespread, follow-through depends on more practical factors such as time constraints and economic considerations.

To better understand these drivers webSaver Consumer Insights conducted a brief Spring Cleaning 2026 survey asking Canadians about their spring cleaning plans in 2026. The results are useful to CPG Brands seeking to align with this seasonal behaviour in an effective way.

The webSaver Spring Cleaning 2026 survey results reveal that spring cleaning intent among Canadians is exceptionally strong with over 85% planning to do it. At the same time, purchasing behavior is highly value-driven, with roughly 75–85% influenced by coupons and discounts and more than 80% willing to switch brands for a better offer.

Some highlights from the Spring Cleaning 2026 Survey:
  • Spring cleaning intent is very high for Canadians, with over 85% planning to spring clean, signaling a large, predictable seasonal demand window for household cleaning and organization products.
  • Spring cleaning is driven primarily by intrinsic motivation, with over 70% doing it to refresh and declutter their living space, and not because of external triggers like promotions or tradition.
  • Promotions such as online coupons and cashback offers are a very powerful catalyst, with nearly 78% saying coupons or discounts can directly accelerate their decision to start spring cleaning.
  • Price and affordability dominate purchase decisions at 51%, but notably over 25% are directly influenced by coupons and cashback offers available making promotions the second most important driver in purchase decisions.
  • Discounts (44%) rival product performance (43%) as a purchase trigger, with coupons matching effectiveness as the top motivator highlighting the importance of value and function.
  • Brand loyalty is vulnerable to incentives, with over 84% willing to switch to a less familiar brand if the offer is strong enough underscoring the power of promotions to drive trial and switching.
