Returns & Refund Policy

This Returns & Refunds Policy explains how Canada Wash Chemicals (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles returns, refunds, and exchanges for industrial cleaning chemicals, car wash detergents, degreasers, and specialty cleaning products. By purchasing from our store, you agree to the terms outlined below.

 


General Return Policy

Because our products include industrial cleaners, acids, caustics, degreasers, and TDG-regulated chemicals, returns are handled differently from standard retail items.

Most chemical products are NOT eligible for return

Due to:

Safety concerns

Regulatory requirements

Risk of contamination

Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) restrictions

Once a chemical product has shipped, it generally cannot be returned.


Eligible Returns (Case-by-Case Basis)

A return may be accepted if:

The product arrived damaged, leaking, or defective

The incorrect product was shipped

Packaging was compromised upon arrival

All return requests must be submitted within 7 days of delivery.

We may request:

Photos or videos of the damage

Order number and product details

Description of the issue

Once approved, we will arrange a replacement or refund.


Non-Returnable Items

To comply with chemical safety laws, we cannot accept returns for:

Opened or used chemical products

Any TDG-regulated or hazardous material

Acids (low pH cleaners)

Caustics / alkalines (high pH cleaners)

Industrial degreasers

Concrete cleaners

Two-step wash chemicals

Drums (205L) or totes (1000L)

If the product can no longer be sold safely, it cannot be returned.


Damaged or Leaking Shipments

If your shipment arrives damaged:

Take clear photos immediately

Note damage on delivery paperwork (if freight)

Contact us within 48 hours

Provide your order number and photos

We will replace or refund the damaged items after reviewing the claim.

If damage is not reported within 48 hours, the carrier may reject the claim.


Incorrect Product Received

If we shipped the wrong item:

Do not open or use the product

Contact us within 7 days

We will arrange replacement or pickup

We cover all return shipping costs

If the item is opened, used, or tampered with, we may not be able to accept the return.


Customer Order Errors

If the customer ordered the wrong product, size, or quantity:

Returns may not be available due to safety & TDG rules

Refunds are generally not provided once the order has shipped

To avoid issues, please double-check product type, pH category, and container size before ordering.


Refund Processing

Refunds (when approved) are issued to the original payment method within 3–7 business days.

Refunds are only issued for:

Approved damaged product claims

Incorrect items shipped

Defective products (rare)

Shipping fees are non-refundable unless the error was ours.


Freight & Bulk Order Policies

Bulk shipments of:

20L pails

205L drums

1000L totes

are final sale once shipped.
Due to transport regulations, these cannot be returned unless damaged upon arrival.


Cancellations

Orders may be cancelled before they ship.

Once a tracking number is generated or the carrier has picked up the order, cancellations may no longer be possible—especially for hazardous goods.
