Holiday hosting is basically an Olympic sport. When you’re juggling your family, the in-laws, friends traveling from out of town, and any extra pets who may tag along, things can get messy. You don’t want to have to worry too much about cleaning when you’re managing a gaggle of guests.
If you want to stay ahead of the holiday cleaning curve, opting for a few bestselling Shark cleaning products is a good idea. From ultra-powerful stick vacuums that will help you get the house prepped for your upcoming holiday party to handy spot cleaners that can clean up drinks or food spilled on your floor during the festivities, Shark has it all.
To keep your home in tip-top shape before the winter hosting season begins, we’ve rounded up the five best Shark cleaning essentials. Shop our top picks below.
Shark® Cordless PowerDetect™ Clean & Empty System, $450 (was $500) at Shark
Pre-party cleaning is a must, and so is a reliable vacuum with strong suction like this one from Shark. We love the Shark Cordless PowerDetect Clean & Empty System for multiple reasons. It features strong suction, boasts smart features like automatic dirt detection, comes with a handy self-emptying dock, and costs under $500. The built-in LED light is useful for illuminating hidden dusty spots and pet hair, and the DuoClean Detect Nozzle powerfully tackles hair, dirt and debris on carpets and hard floors, seamlessly. This vac will be your trusty sidekick through the holiday hosting season and beyond.
Shark PowerDetect™ 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum and Mop, $700 (was $1,000) at Shark
It’s not always possible to do all the cleaning yourself, especially when you’re busy throwing the best holiday parties of the season. Outsource some of the cleaning to the Shark PowerDetect 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum and Mop, which will keep both your hard floors, carpet, and rugs spotless. The NeverTouch Pro Base ensures you’ll rarely need to handle emptying any debris, and it also acts as a docking station where your robot vac can charge itself, refill its water tank for mop jobs, and wash and dry dirty mop pads. It’s a pretty hands-off addition to your cleaning repertoire.
Shark StainStriker HairPro Portable Spot & Stain Deep Cleaner, $170 at Shark
Are your dogs shedding everywhere before your guests come over? Did your parents’ dog have an accident on your living room rug? Neither of these scenarios are cause for panic with the Shark Portable Spot & Stain Deep Cleaner. This handy tool lifts stains, gets rid of odors, and sucks up hair all in one. It also comes decked out with HairPro Pet technology, which pulls tons of stubborn hair from carpets and upholstery, ensures you can clean with no clogs, and even separates any vacuumed hair from dirty water. It’ll be your first line of defense if you’re hosting extra pets this holiday season.
Shark NeverChange Air Purifier, $180 (was $250) at Shark
Let’s be real: Odors happen during the holiday season. Lingering kitchen smells and pet odor are all too common, especially in small homes. A good air purifier does double duty by banishing odors and helping filter out dust and allergens. This option from Shark is designed to use the same filter for up to five years, saving you money and time since you won’t need to swap the filter out any time soon.
Shark MessMaster Portable Wet/Dry Vacuum, $130 at Shark
For households with kids, pets, and heavy-duty messes, the Shark MessMaster is the way to go. This wet and dry vac is basically a small shop vac and can suck up pretty much anything. Spilled juice? No need to grab paper towels, just suck it up with the MessMaster. Kid spilled an entire bag of chips on the ground? The MessMaster can handle it. If you’re cleaning seriously gunky messes, the MessMaster also can rinse itself so the hose and dustbin stay clean — just vacuum up a cup of water.
