***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!
My biggest spring cleaning ritual is just decluttering and making a salvation army run. I go through my closet and drawers and try to get rid of anything I haven’t worn in over a year.
Window washing and a good inside out cleaning of the car is coming up soon too.
Becky @ TheCodyHouse says
CLEAN ME!
We started our inside spring cleaning and as soon as we finish that (and the weather gets nice) we will move outside!
Allison says
CLEAN ME! I have a hairy black dog and have accepted that I will never win that battle, but to at least be in a close second would be nice.
kristin says
Clean Me….. I’ve already accomplished all the plantation shutters….
Jenn says
clean me…
we’re cleaning out the closets and donating all the things we no longer want or need.
Rachel says
CLEAN ME!
This weekend, I sorted all the aluminum cans, bottles, and plastic bottles that have accumulated over the last year, and dragged them all to the recyler. Since we just stuffed the bags in an unused shed outside, we didn’t realize how much we had accumulated–it was embarrassing! BUT I’m $50 richer (or I had $50 reimbursed because of CRV), and I got a fab new hair cut with the money!
Next project: painting the bathroom! I’ve had the paint for a year, but never got around to actually painting. Since Spring’s a time for renewal, it seems like the perfect time to paint!
Kelly says
CLEAN ME!
I make it a point to go through storage bins and closet drawers and donate anything we’ve accumulated throughout the year we don’t need.
Bridgit says
CLEAN ME!
We are about to have a baby and so we are doing all sorts of cleaning–mostly organizing our pantry/linen closets and trying to eliminimate dog hair–we have two furry friends in our house as well as a two year old. Eeek!
Ben says
CLEAN ME! New house… renovations… a Puppy. we need a new vacuum.
Stone says
CLEAN ME!
Vicki says
CLEAN ME!
I’m off for “spring break” next week so I plan on beginning to deep clean the house… I guess the only different thing than regular cleaning right now will be wiping baseboards and cupboards. Windows will come later!
Meghan says
CLEAN ME! My fiancee and I just bought our first house so spring cleaning this year means purging the house of anything we haven’t used and won’t be using, while we pack. Your closet post was a great inspiration. We could definitely use the vacuum and the broom in our new house since my fiancee has allergies (hello, HEPA-filter!) and we have two dogs (hello, pet hair!).
Kelly D says
CLEAN ME!
This year I am cleaning out all of our closets, washing the windows and repainting all of the trim/doors in our house. And I’m sure I’ll find a few other projects to tackle as well. :)
Lindsey Rowland says
Clean Me!!!!! Spring Cleaning?? I will get there soon enough in my pregnant nesting phase!
Christina says
CLEAN ME
It is nearly impossible to keep our place clean with the constant renovations that we are doing. I can’t wait until everything is done and I can finally find a place for everything. Unfortunately, that is a long way away!
melanie says
CLEAN ME!
i’m 40 weeks + 2 days pregnant – you can believe that i’m in full on clean mode over here!
Amy says
Clean Me!
We do some major seed planting in egg crates. As soon as it warms up outside, we move them to the garden!
Katy Frame says
CLEAN ME!
Spring cleaning for me includes lots of trips to the Goodwill!
Kimberly says
Clean me!!!
Amy D says
CLEAN ME! It’s time to attack our closets for a good spring purge…but before I can start I have to fill each room with at least one tulip to inspire me! It’s my own little treat to myself before I get ‘dirty’!!
jamie says
Clean Me!
We’re working on getting our garden beds ready for planting:)
Erin I. says
Clean Me!
We definitely need to clean and shine our hardwood floors – the cat hair is taking over.
Becky says
CLEAN ME!
This isn’t exactly a “cleaning” ritual but since you said spring it made me think of it. Nothing says “spring cleaning” in our house like 60 degree weather (in Mass) in MARCH! We had ALL the windows in our house open yesterday which hasn’t happened in MONTHS! Fresh air = spring cleaning motivation! : )
Courtney says
CLEAN ME!
Spring cleaning means purging closets and washing windows for me.
Heather says
CLEAN ME! Spring time means time to paint and we just got started over the weekend. Master bedroom completed!
Kate says
CLEAN ME!
Your closet party post has inspired me to really clean my closets before spring is in full swing. Going to try to stick by the rule that if I have not worn it in a full year then pitch it!
Kelly says
CLEAN ME! :)
My spring cleaning will include {finally} unpacking the rest of my boxes from college! I graduated 2 years ago and moved home with the ‘rents… I haven’t had a need for the kitchen utensils, extra bedding & random decorations… so they’ve been sitting in boxes! I’d say it’s about time to unpack them and donate what I wont use anymore!
Brett Miller says
CLEAN ME!
I’m going to be making over my garage as soon as the weather gets a little better.
Lisa M says
CLEAN ME! We just moved into our house a few months ago so spring cleaning won’t be anything too crazy. But usually we go through our closet and find stuff we haven’t worn for a while and donate it to good will. And we have to tackle the garage soon too!
julia says
CLEAN ME!
We’ve squeezed ourselves into a teeny tiny one-bedroom apartment (600 square feet!) and my old stick-vac just isn’t cutting it now that we have two people’s dust to suck up.
This spring we need to clean out the closets — both the linen closet and the coat and clothes closets — and get rid of the things we don’t use so that they can go to someone who will use them (well, hello, salvation army truck!). Then we need to go through the collection under our bed and hunt down the gopher-sized dust bunnies that I’m sure are down there.
Kristin says
Clean me!
We are getting the veggie garden ready to plant! Now if these freezing temperatures would just go away…
Lauren says
Clean me!
Cleaning out my closets is already under way for spring!
Great giveaway! :)
Amanda says
Clean Me! I’m starting to open the windows and let the fresh air in. I’ve missed the sun shine!
Lauren P. says
CLEAN ME!
I’m determined to clean our spare closets. When we moved in last April, they were our go-to-out-of-site places to store misc. items!
Ophelie says
Clean me!
I’ve just started taking the plastic film off the windows (it’s warming up in Montreal!) and planning a big cleaning weekend, which might involve hiring someone to clean along with me. I think it would be money well spent!
Natalie says
Clean me!! I have already started cleaning all my windows. They are filthy from the winter weather.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Mary Margaret says
CLEAN ME!!
Spring cleaning hasn’t started yet in our little apartment because it’s too pretty outside to be inside cleaning!
Chrystine says
CLEAN ME!
So far I am only dreaming of spring cleaning and making lists of all the things I need to do. Still too chilly hear but it is sooo close!
Jessica Dvorscak says
CLEAN ME! Spring Cleaning means getting rid of stuff and organizing in our house.
Sam says
CLEAN ME!
We have already done so much as far as Spring Cleaning goes I am ready for Summer! We organized our master closet, laundry room, office and guest bedroom. We have a garage full of stuff for goodwill and the dump. So our next spring cleaning project is…the garage! :)
kat says
CLEAN ME!
We spent the weekend planting lots of new baby plants! Lots of earthworms came out to play.
Caleb says
CLEAN ME
I like to clean out the garage reorganize the tools and throw out the crazy random stuff that accumulates there. It surprises me every time.
Jen says
CLEAN ME!!
Jill T says
Clean Me! Windows, windows, windows. We’ve got a two year old toddler and a three year old retriever, and they both love putting noses and hands/paws to all the windows they can reach (hello, sliding doors to the deck). They’re one of several spring cleaning projects we’ve started tackling this week.
Keely says
CLEAN ME!
Tee says
CLEAN ME!!
This spring I am doing some major organization. I started this weekend by going through all of my mail and paperwork and sorting and filing. I live in a small condo, so I am really working on my feng shui :)
Franciely says

With twins and a dog I feel like I am spring cleaning ALL the time!
anna cordes says
clean me!
I just moved into a new house and my current little vacuum probably will not cut it much longer. I went from wood floors to wall to wall carpet. needless to say. most of my saturday morning was spent cleaning!
