To launch the CrossWave Cordless Max, BISSELL is partnering with interior designer and lifestyle expert Bobby Berk from the hit Netflix show Queer Eye to share essential holiday tips and tricks for prepping for the holidays.

"There never seems to be enough time when it comes to prepping for the holidays, so I'm always looking for ways to make the most of the time I do have," says Berk. "I've found that if my home is clean, I feel less stress during this busy season. I can quickly and thoroughly clean my floors before or after entertaining with the CrossWave®, which is a huge timesaver."

In addition to sharing ways to simplify your holiday cleaning routine, Bobby has great design and hosting tips to help make the most of this season:

Shop local and save on wrapping: Support local businesses and have your gifts wrapped to save time.
Reduce, reuse and re-gift: Save the best ribbons and bows to use next year.
Let décor do double duty: Head to the local farmers' market for organic, natural materials you can weave into your décor like citrus.
Wrap more than gifts: Brown or simple patterned craft paper makes a great table runner as a base for a festive table setting.
Give cups a new calling: After the party, wash the plastic cups and use them to store and protect holiday ornaments.
Prepare batch cocktails: Rather than mixing individual drinks during the party, create a big batch so guests can serve themselves.
