***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
Literally- it does. Hear me out for a minute. A couple of weeks ago we posted about our new Bissell vacuum, which virtually swept us off our feet (and actually sucked stuff off our floors). Well, thanks to the magic of the Interweb, that post actually caught the eye of the kind folks over at Bissell and after a few emails back and forth… tah dah! We managed to sweet talk them into a YHL giveaway. So now one lucky reader gets the chance to win their very own Bissell Cleanview Helix Bagless Vacuum Cleaner to help them spruce up every nook and cranny of their casa. Nice, right?
We’re psyched that Bissell’s helping us share this HEPA-filterin’, 12-amp powerin’, multi-surface settin’, pet hair suckin’ and lightweight cleanin’ love with one of you. And if your house is home to a canine or a feline with a bit more fur than our bald-bellied Burger, this little bonus prize might come in handy too: they’re throwing in a Bissell’s Pet Hair Broom for our big winner as well.
Even if you don’t find yourself sweeping up much pet hair, the broom’s rubber bristles (which attract fur like a magnet) are retractable for your normal sweep jobs. So here’s how you can get your paws on this prize set which- thanks to the broom- technically doesn’t completely suck.
- PRIZE: A Bissell 82H1 Cleanview Helix Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner and Pet Hair Broom
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “CLEAN ME” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: … tell us about any of your spring cleaning rituals that are already underway in your house (or any that you might be diving into soon). Getting the garden ready? Washing all the windows? Taking us up on our closet cleaning party? Spill it.
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, March 10th at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: Home to the world’s best and second-best hockey teams (that’s Canada and the US, fyi)
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

CLEAN ME!!
Spring cleaning?? I’m lucky if I get the regular cleaning done. With 3 little boys and a dog that sheds a ton, my house will feel so good with a new vacuum to suck everything up!
Carrie says
CLEAN ME!
My spring cleaning involves a little bit of everything…cleaning windows, purging the closets and tackling the storage room in the basement!
Lisa Carbone says
“CLEAN ME…”
Every season I try to clean out our closets (including my 2 year old sons!) and gather lots of items for donation. I also change out my sheets from the heavy winter flannels etc to the lighter brighter cottons…it somehow adds a touch of spring to the indoors and gets us in the mood from warmer temps.
Thanks!
michelle says

organizing and OPENING the WINDOWS!! awww~ fresh air!
Jill says
CLEAN ME! We are currently working on painting our linen cupboard and adding more shelving so our sheets aren’t in one giant jumble.
Tricia says
CLEAN ME!
Just this morning realized how grimy our grout was between our 12 inch tiles in our bathroom! Horrified but hopeful,I searched your blog for grout cleaning tips…found a comment from a reader who mentioned cream of tartar and lemon juice- OOH LA LA!!! Did the trick! I even left a small inch undone so hubby will see just how well it spicked up in there~ thanks for all the help!
Perri Budd says
CLEAN ME..
I live in a very small studio in nyc so constantly cleaning so it doesn’t look too cluttered. My favorite spring cleaning ritual is pulling out my spring clothes stored under the bed and switching my closet..packing up the sweaters. Although its not underway yet..fingers crossed its coming soon.
laura says
CLEAN ME.
We started spring cleaning this weekend! wiping down baseboards, taking apart and cleaning curtains and bedding, moving big furniture and vacuuming around it! we could really use this!!
Ryan says
CLEAN ME!!!
our spring ritual is in full swing, beginning with the bathrooms and floors. ick!
Anne B. says
CLEAN ME!
We are currently getting our yard ready… finally cleaning up the flower beds, adding plants to the porch and planting some vegetables!
LisaLise says
Clean Me!
We’ve already started mulching the flower beds, and cleaning out closets!
Jennifer says
CLEAN ME!
We are currently remodeling, so we are constantly “spring cleaning”!
oana says
CLEAN ME!!
We hired a cleaning lady for 3 hours on the weekend to get some of the yuckier jobs done. My plan for next weekend is to get on a 12′ ladder and clean the outside of all our windows. Then I have to take down the curtains behind the sofa and wash them and then hem them a couple of inches. Definitely got spring cleaning fever!
Andrea says
CLEAN ME!
Ah, annual time to clean out the garage! Usually, we just do a once-over, but this year, we seem to be taking it a step further and doing some wall-board action and “true” organization. Wish us luck! You guys are inspiring, for sure!
Traci says
CLEAN ME
I bought my first house over Christmas, and since we’ve been blessed with so much snow this winter I haven’t had a chance to touch the yard and two patios. I plan to prep vegetable gardens for lettuce, pick up fallen pine branches, and sweep off the back porch in hopes of sitting out furniture in the next few weeks!
Charlotte says
Clean Me!
Cleaning the garage of all the clutter that ended up there during the winter when it was too cold to deal with.
Edna says
CLEAN ME!
I switch out winter clothes with spring/summer clothes. Also, clean and clean out most rooms in the house (clean baseboards, windows, etc). Donate unused items to goodwill.
Sarah says
CLEAN ME!
Spring cleaning means putting away the chunky cable-knit sweaters and bringing out the lighter, brighter clothing. We aren’t quite there yet in Ohio, but we’re close!
Katie Vonderhaar says
CLEAN ME
Spring cleaning = baseboards!
Amy says
CLEAN ME
Opening up the windows a bit to let in some fresh air instantly gives new life to the house. Bring on Spring!
Gloria says
CLEAN ME
One of my favorite things to clean for spring is the windows. It makes everything feel brighter and more expensive!
Laura says
CLEAN ME! Spring comes early here in the desert, so we’ve already been mowing grass, raking the yard, and decluttering so everything is ready for the gorgeous weather.
Kim McCoy says
CLEAN ME!!! …. PLEASE
I’m already in Spring cleaning mode. My car is first since it’s hard to stay home with such beautiful weather.
Kara says
CLEAN ME!
Spring cleaning started a few weekends ago when we spent an entire day cleaning out our “junk” closets as well as our clothes closets. We donated four giant bags of clothing and have sold several other household items that we never use via Craigslist. It feels so good to minimize! The downside of this was that now we have a lot of dusty spaces where our junk previously resided…so a new vacuum would be oh so helpful!
Caroline says
CLEAN ME!
The hubs and I are moving in a month, so what are we NOT cleaning? Right now I’m trying to purge the closets and get rid of the oodles of clothes I never wear but still think I need…
Meagan says
CLEAN ME, please!
My current spring cleaning project is, similarly enough, my closet. I started a few days before your post with getting a new closet system (the other had fallen out of the closet wall because improper bracketing) and then I picked up some coordinating wood hangers at Ikea. It’s looking great!
Now if only I could continue this trend…
Natalie @ chadwell chronicles says
Clean me! I feel like I am always cleaning, so nothing different will be done in the Spring. =)
Wilma says
Clean me!
The back porch will be cleaned soon as it tends to store lots of junk (read: bottles for recycling, boxes from Amazon etc) that doesn’t make it to the recycling center during the yucky winter months.
Also, the linen closet/laundry room will be purged as it’s also racked up plenty of clutter.
Stacey Halphen says
Clean Me!!!
Right now I am doing my 6 month purge. I literally go through every room in the house and purge anything I no longer have a use for. Then I send the items off to Goodwill. I am also in the process of re-arranging the furniture in a couple of the rooms to give them a fresh new look for Spring!
emilyr says
CLEAN ME!!
this year we are spring cleaning our new house by ripping out the carpet and demo-ing the kitchen!
can’t wait!
Christine says
CLEAN ME!
I am starting to go through my clothes and get rid of the ones I no longer like/wear, to make way for my summer wardrobe!
Kirsten says
Clean me!
Aack! We’re moving in 3 weeks so we really have to clean–like move the fridge and sweep the spare cat from behind there (yes, our dear cat is of the extra-extra furry variety and we are always finding him in places we know he’s never been).
Janine says
CLEAN ME!!
We have begun cleaning out closets, giving things away to Freecycle. Spring is almost here!!
Shannon Karsies says
CLEAN ME!!!!
The sun was out, my heart was full and gone were the cobwebs, greasy handprints and dustbunnies! I have SPRING fever and have all kinds of ‘to do’s’.
Amber Anderson says
CLEAN ME!!!
Even if I don’t win I am getting one of those pet hair brooms! AWESOME! And with two longer haired dogs and a cat I definitely need it.
As for spring cleaning projects, I will be moving outside and cleaning up my flower beds. I also need to take the outside Christmas lights down. I can’t believe they are still up!
Samantha says
CLEAN ME! With 2 kids we definitely need a new vacuum! My favorite spring cleaning ritual {the only one done so far} is opening up all the windows and letting the fresh air in and the stale, winter air out!
Ilana says
Clean me! Trying to declutter…
Jackie says
CLEAN ME!! Here is to wishing I could open all the doors and hose the whole house down!! Spring can’t get here fast enough!!
Gloria says
CLEAN ME…..last week, I washed all the windows, inside and out, and all the tracks. Not sure if it was spring cleaning or nesting (I’m due in 2 weeks), but I do like my nice clean windows!
the 7msn ranch says
CLEAN ME! Please!
A special pet hair broom?? Who knew?
Pink Heli says
Clean me!
I’m so busy, I barely have time to clean. One thing that’ll happen soon is I’ll get out the summer wardrobe and put away the winter one. (Yeah, our closets are THAT small). During that process I usually find several things to thrift.
Teresa says
CLEAN ME!!!
I started to declutter our closets this weekend and have a big pile to take to donate already. My husband cleaned out the gutters yesterday for our biannual gutter clean!
Carey says
CLEAN ME!!!
We had to start our spring cleaning early due to my daughter having some respiratory reactions to our new home we bought a few months ago. We’ve never had carpet before and its everywhere in this house! We cleaned them last weekend and now definately need an awesome vacuum to maintain their cleanliness! (until we can put down wood floors!)
Kayla D. says
CLEAN ME!
I’ve already started on my major spring room cleanup! With a new twist this year – I did a major clean up job on my hedgehog’s cage! I made him a new one (which was just an excuse to procrastinate on my room)so everything is starting to look good! (but I could sure use a vacuum to help out with the job)
Caroline says
CLEAN ME!
I’m going to take to the floors on my hands and knees soon. Love my Swiffer mop, but sometimes you just have to get dirty to do it right!
Bri E says
Clean me! I try to do a little of everything!
