The holidays are filled with joy, laughter… and a little bit of chaos. Between guests coming and going, extra cooking, and all the glitter that mysteriously ends up everywhere, it’s easy for your home to feel out of control fast.
That’s why now is the perfect time to stock up on a few cleaning essentials that will help you tackle the holiday mess before it starts and keep your home feeling cozy, fresh, and guest ready.
Whether you’re hosting family dinners, wrapping gifts with the kids, or cleaning up after the festivities, here are five must-have cleaning products to get your home ready for the holidays (and keep your sanity intact).
1. Multi-Surface Cleaner — Your Everyday Hero
When guests are on their way, you don’t have time to pull out a dozen different sprays. A multi-surface cleaner simplifies everything. From countertops and tables to doorknobs and appliances, one good bottle can do it all.
Look for a cleaner that cuts through grease, fingerprints, and sticky spills without harsh chemicals or artificial fragrances. Tru Earth’s Multi-Surface Cleaner strips away grime using plant-based ingredients and comes in refillable tablets, reducing plastic waste.
Holiday tip: Wipe down high-touch surfaces (light switches, handles, and countertops) each morning before guests arrive it keeps your space looking effortlessly clean.
2. Laundry Detergent Sheets — Tackle Linens, Towels, and Party Wear
Between guest bedding, extra towels, and those festive sweaters, your laundry pile doubles during the holidays. Bulky detergent jugs make laundry feel even heavier — literally.
Switch to laundry detergent sheets. They’re compact, mess-free, and pre-measured so you never overpour. Plus, they dissolve completely in hot or cold water, leaving your clothes clean and fresh without residue.
Tru Earth Laundry Detergent Eco-Strips eliminate the need for plastic jugs, helping you cut down on waste during a season when waste tends to skyrocket.
3. Toilet Bowl Cleaner — Because Guests Notice the Little Things
If there’s one area that deserves attention before company arrives, it’s the bathroom. A toilet bowl cleaner that’s effective and easy to use is essential for quick touch-ups.
Tru Earth’s Toilet Bowl Cleaner Strips make this task simple. Just drop a strip in, let it dissolve, and scrub away. It’s powerful on stains and odors, yet safe for septic systems and gentle on waterways.

4. Dishwasher Tablets that can Handle the Post-Feast Pile-Up
After a big family meal, no one wants to stand at the sink for hours. That’s where sustainable dishwasher tablets come in. They break down grease, food residue, and even dried-on casseroles without leaving chemical film behind.
Skip the harsh detergents — Tru Earth’s Dishwasher Tablets are plastic wrapper free, phosphate-free and come in a recyclable package. You’ll save time, energy, and avoid that “who’s on dish duty?” argument.
Pro tip: Run a quick empty-dishwasher cycle with vinegar and baking soda before the holidays to start fresh and eliminate buildup.
