The holiday's are fast approaching and as you scramble around to get both your home and your life in order before the mad rush, it's important not to forget the holiday household essentials.

Therefore in light of this fact The Guardian has hit the streets to find out what items you can't live without for the holidays. Here are the top seven results.

1) Easy Mops, such

as Swifter Wet Jet.

"If there's one thing I can't stand is a dirty floor and during the holidays it's a fact that you'll have them. But thanks to those easy mops I'll be saved from a headache."

- Charlice Wilkinson

2) Wipes.

"They're great for easy clean-ups around the house and with people in and out you need it."

Susan Bowe

3) Large Garbage Bags.

"The holidays mean double the trash, so those small bags won't do the trick. You need the large ones and plenty of them."

- Chavasse Bain

4) Hand Vacuum

/ Portable Vacuum.

"It's perfect for quick cleanups. You just turn it on and you're done. I can't live without it especially since I have three kids."

- Delores Mackey

5) Extra Dinnerware.

"It's a must-have for the holidays. If you ever had extra people show up on Christmas morning you know why."

- Shonda Poitier

6) Pre-mixed Cleaning Supplies with Bleach.

"The ones that come pre-mixed with bleach save you time because you just have to spray them and your surface is cleaned and disinfected. That's great for the holiday's."

- Tanya Brown

7) Extra Boxes/Storage Containers.

"I can't live without extra storage. It's needed for the Christmas because even though you unpack from 5 boxes, when it comes time to pack up, you'll need 10."
