Holiday Gift Guide: Gifts that Clean

This time of year is always very special to us. Family and friends are coming to visit. Food, fun, music, memories, and those old stories that never fail to make you laugh like you mean it. But as magical as the holiday season can be, it can also be a little messy. Pro Tip: a mixture of rubbing alcohol and a little distilled vinegar works great on those cranberry sauce stains.

We’ve rounded up a sweet assortment of gift ideas that are just right for the neatniks on your shopping list. Those who like to keep the mess to a minimum and maintain a fresh and clean living environment throughout the holidays… and every other day, too. Read on for smart, Santa-approved gifts that clean, with selections suitable for all budgets!

Cordless Convenience with 4X Suction Power

The incredible NEW Kenmore Elite® Litening™ cordless vacuum offers all the lightweight ease and ready-to-go convenience of a cordless rechargeable model… but delivers four times the suction power of typical “stick vacs” on carpets, rugs, and hard floors. It’s designed to clean every corner effortlessly with agile swivel steering for easy navigation around furniture and tight spaces. And its innovative Lift-Up® feature and two-motor system make cleaning stairs and furniture easier and more effective than ever before. The ideal gift for pet-owners and parents!

A Fresh Solution for Cleaning Hard Floors

We all know, accidents happen. And when it comes to everyday household clean-up, it can sometimes feel more like a game of catch-up (or even ketchup!). If you know someone who could use a real step-saver this year, give them the Kenmore AquaLite™ 3-in-1 Cordless Hard Floor Cleaner. It does double-duty, allowing them to vacuum and wash hard floors at the same time! The powerful battery runs for up to 35 minutes on a charge*. And its innovative two-tank system keeps the clean and dirty water separate, so it’s always cleaning with fresh solution.

Gifts that Clean: Quick Cleanup has Never Been So Easy

Give the gift of simple convenience! Weighing in at just a few easy-to-handle pounds, the Kenmore STRATUS™ 2-in-1 stick vacuum is a surprisingly powerful clean-machine that’s perfect for tidying up around the home or office space. Its slender profile goes just about anywhere it’s needed. Its self-standing design means it doesn’t have to lean against the wall in between cleaning sessions. And with just a touch, it quickly converts to a compact hand-vac that’s ideal for tight spaces, upholstery, vehicles, and more. It comes with its own convenient recharging station, and the 24V battery recharges fully in less than 5 hours. Includes a long crevice tool, dusting brush, and a 2-in-1 combination tool.

Soft, Fresh Filtered Water in Every Room

Okay, we admit it: giving the gift of a water softener is a little unorthodox. But think about it – what can be more important to the health and wellbeing of your loved ones and friends than clean water? The Kenmore Elite® 520 Hybrid Water Softener + Filter system is NSF International Certified to reduce hard water minerals, plus barium, radium, and chlorine taste & odor. And its advanced carbon media filter provides great-tasting water throughout the entire home, from every faucet. And best of all, no filter changes are necessary: the system automatically cleans itself upon regeneration!

‘Tis the Season… for a Dishwasher Upgrade!

The holidays aren’t just for gifting others. With all the cooking and cleaning you’ll be doing this holiday, it’s a great time to spoil yourself with an upgrade in the kitchen. Kenmore dishwashers with the UltraWash cleaning system use two powerful spray arms to blast away stuck-on food. Our SmartDry system uses hot water to promote the condensation of moisture in the tub for ready-to-use dishes once the cycles done. Just set it, forget it, and come back to squeaky clean dishes and glassware!

Gifts that Clean: Clear the Air, Anywhere

The Kenmore PM1010 True HEPA air purifier might just be our favorite go-to gift item for almost everyone on our list. Its compact size fits easily in any room. Its ultra-quiet operation makes it the perfect companion in bedrooms, kitchens, offices and dorm rooms. This small wonder is ENERGY STAR® certified for money-saving efficiency. And its 3-stage filtration system captures 99.97% of non-living airborne dust particles down to 0.3 microns and removes smoke, odors and pollutants from the indoor environment. It even doubles as an aromatherapy diffuser! And get this: it’s less than $50. So you might want to pick up a few of them for those hard-to-gift people in your life.

You don’t have to be a certified neat-freak to love each of these gift suggestions. Everyone can benefit from embracing a cleaner living space! And as we round the corner and head into the coming new year, helping our friends and family reach their wellness goals through an enhanced commitment to cleanliness might be the greatest gift we can give.

Happy holidays, from all your friends at Kenmore!
