Finding gifts for people who love to clean and organize can be challenging. These 10 gift ideas for neat freaks are sure to please the queen of clean in your life.
We all have that friend or relative who is a total neat freak. You know, the one who works hard to keep her home spotless? The one who loves to organize her organizing supplies?
She can probably be difficult to shop for when the holidays roll around. No worries, though. This neat freak’s got you covered! I’ve put together a list of 10 gift ideas for neat freaks that they’ll actually love!
Can You Give Cleaning Supplies as Gifts?
It might seem like it would be boring or insulting to receive homekeeping supplies as a gift. I definitely understand that point of view. However, some people (such as myself) have fun keeping their home clean and organized. As a result, it can also be fun to receive cleaning and organizing supplies as gifts!
I should probably clarify that last sentence. Receiving special, unique, or elevated cleaning and organizing supplies as gifts is fun. Getting a bottle of Windex with a bow stuck on top? Not so much.
So, short answer, yes, you can successfully give cleaning supplies as gifts! My list of 10 gift ideas for neat freaks includes extra special cleaning supplies for that wonderful king or queen of clean in your life.
10 Useful Gift Ideas for Neat Freaks
Here are my 10 picks for elevated cleaning gift ideas for neat freaks.
Murchison-Hume Everyday Furniture & Upholstery Cleaner
First on my list of gift ideas for neat freaks is this great-smelling, super effective furniture and upholstery cleaner from Murchison-Hume. It smells great, the packaging is classic and understated. Most importantly, this stuff works! I used it to clean up 5 chairs I bought from a hotel that was remodeling, and it did a beautiful job.
Any time a neat freak discovers a great-smelling, hard-working product, it’s a good day. This product fits the bill!
Dyson V8 Animal Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner
One of the best gift ideas for neat freaks is a lightweight, powerful, flexible vacuum cleaner from world-renowned Dyson. It’s perfect for quick, effective cleaning, with a run time of 40 minutes before it needs charging.
No more starting and stopping to unplug, move to the next room, plug in. Plus, no heavy vacuum body to push back and forth! Your master cleaner will get her floors looking great in a flash, without breaking her back.
Lambswool Duster
Feather dusters have given way to disposable dusters like the Swiffer 360. However, one of the most thoughtful gift ideas for neat freaks is a fluffy lambswool duster.
This is the next generation of natural fiber dusters. Natural lanolin found in the wool grabs dust like no other. Since it’s reusable, it will outlast dozens of disposable dusters. Plus, the 24-inch handle makes it easy to reach dusty spots high and low.
Mini Dustpan Set
Messes pop up in even the cleanest homes. A cute dustpan that easily stows away is the perfect solution.
This mini dustpan set by Full Circle is perfect for little messes in the bathroom, kitchen, or craft room. Its small size means it’s a snap to tuck into closets and under sinks. Plus, it’s super cute and stylish, thanks to its bamboo brush handle. The cutest of my gift ideas for neat freaks!
Power Cleaning Brush
How much better would a neat freak’s life be if she could stand and hold the brush while it did the work for her? She’d have more time and fewer sore muscles!
An electric cleaning brush like Homitt’s Spin Scrubber will do the hard work for her. This cordless revolving scrubber includes 3 different brush heads, and has an extendable handle. It’ll make cleaning bathrooms a snap.
The Laundress Delicate Wash Detergent
Your neat freak is probably super busy making sure everyone else’s clothes are clean. As a result, she probably neglects her own laundry from time to time! Give her and her clothes some TLC with delicate wash detergent from The Laundress.
It’s perfect for lingerie and delicate fabrics. It can even be used on “dry clean only” garments, and it makes clothes smell great. It’s one of my favorite gift ideas for neat freaks because it provides an elevated experience, while saving time and money. If you really want to make her day, add some mesh washing bags to her gift!
Sturdy Scrub Brush
I know what you’re thinking. A scrub brush seems so… basic. But If you’re not on board with the power cleaning brush above, you might want to consider this all-purpose scrub brush from Full Circle.
The bamboo handle on this brush is thick and rounded. As a result, it’s more comfortable to hold than many plastic-handled brushes. Plus, it matches the dust pan set above. The dust pan set and scrub brush would be a cute mix of stocking stuffers!
Premium Cleaning Gloves
Don’t you hate it when wet rubber gloves cling to your fingers? So does your neat freak! These Bliss premium latex-free gloves by Mr. Clean will make doing dishes, washing windows, and cleaning bathrooms much easier.
These gloves feature a soft, comfy lining and a 12-inch cuff. As a result, they’re perfect for tackling even the messiest sink full of dishes. Because they’re latex free, they’re safe for those with allergies. They’re one of my most versatile gift ideas for neat freaks.
pH Neutral Bathroom Cleaner
Does your neat freak have sensitive skin? If so, this pH neutral bathroom cleaner from Bean & Lily might make a great gift.
Research shows that pH neutral cleaners may be healthier for our bodies and our homes. Since pH neutral cleaners are neither acidic nor basic, they’re less likely to irritate skin. They’re also non-corrosive on bathroom fixtures, thanks to their neutrality. As a result, this is probably the healthiest of my gift ideas for neat freaks.
Shirt Folding Board
Any neat freak will tell you that stacks of perfectly-folded shirts make our hearts sing. A shirt folding board will help her do it perfectly, and in less time!
This folding board is great for all shirt sizes and types, including both long- and short-sleeved shirts. It can even help with neatly folding bulky sweaters. It might be the most fun of my gift ideas for neat freaks.
