***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!

I am so so looking forward to cleaning the windows. Man, I can’t wait. Chicago winters are not pretty. How nerdy is that?
kate says
CLEAN ME!
haha. the clip of Wayne’s World & the Suck-Kut immediately popped into my head, “It certainly does suck”
But seriously, that pet hair broom looks awesome. They had something similar at a Home & Garden Show a couple weeks ago; I stood by and watched the demo, and it truly does work – I just didn’t want to spring the moohlah at the time.
We kicked off our spring cleaning yesterday by picking up all the dead branches that had fallen over the winter, and tidied up the yard (raked another batch of leaves, etc)….we’ll be tackling inside projects when it gets a tad warmer so we can open all the windows and get the winter funk out.
Meredith Parker says
CLEAN ME! Will be cleaning the guest/junk closet this weekend!! happy cleaning!
Roseanna says
CLEAN ME!
First up on the Spring Cleaning agenda: Hosing down our exterior and beefing up our landscaping. I’m kind of excited…
Becky says
CLEAN ME!
Okay what have i started vs what I have imagined that I have done? I’ve imagined that I’ve cleaned out the fridge, washed the windows, trimmed the bushes outside, organized my office….these WILL get done gosh darn it!
Nicki says
CLEAN ME!
cleaning behind and under the furniture in the kids’ rooms…scary!
Amy says
CLEAN ME!
We have a church garage sale to raise money for missions every April so the first stage is to go through our closets and storage rooms and purge everything we can part with!
Alyssa says
CLEAN ME!!! spring cleaning = the mad dash the weekend before our biggest party of the year, St. Patty’s day parade in South Boston… Hope I’m channeling the luck of the Irish on this one ;)
Erica says
Oh my goodness, CLEAN ME!
I am 36 weeks pregnant and on complete bedrest —- not exactly ideal for the spring (and pre-baby) cleaning that I’m itching to do. I keep a relatively clean house throughout the year, so I don’t have any typical spring cleaning rituals but my urge to nest this year has me dying to shampoo the carpets and dust, dust, dust!
Maura B says
CLEAN ME!
Spring cleaning is well underway here. I got ambitious and managed to clean the closets in February, so now I am on to painting the dining room, re-caulking the downstairs bath, getting in a good deep clean of the whole house (with my trusty mop and scrub brush in hand!), washing rugs, exterior windows, etc. And the big post-snow-melt yard clean up. But I love to do this stuff, so it’s like Christmas for me :-)
catherine says
CLEAN ME! Just planted peas in the garden – so excited!
Jovanna says

Spring Cleaning means re-organizing the house from top to bottom, inside and out.
ashley2white says
CLEAN ME!
un-cluttering all our closets that we threw holiday decorations, random christmas presents, coats, scarves, etc in all winter long!
Gina B says
CLEAN ME!
This year is our first year in our house and so it’ll be my first spring cleaning! I’m thinking the windows and baseboards, though HORRIBLE, will be a must and probably first on my list.
Morgan Luce says
CLEAN ME
Well, here in Vermont, we still have almost two feet of snow so most of our cleaning won’t be happening for a while. In addition to all the interior cleaning (our carpets are a mess thanks to our lovely dog!), I also do a lot of stuff outside – raking, gardening, setting up the porch and rolling out the grill. Can’t wait for spring!!!!
My vaccume is old and not working as well as it once was.. what a treat this would be!
Amilynn says
CLEAN ME
this spring clean is all about preparing for the new baby coming this summer! Mainly going through all the closets, basement etc and getting rid of anything we can to make more room for baby! We could def use a new vacuum and broom as ours actually stopped working this weekend in the midst of my hubby trying to suck up some spider webs from the basement :s.
aimee says
CLEAN ME!
Window washing as soon as our 3 FEET of snow melts from our front yard…
Crystal Yoschak says
CLEAN ME!
I love spring cleaning! It’s a good way to clean out the old and go shopping for the new!
Jenn says
CLEAN ME
Every year I do a sweep of closets, the kitchen pantry and cabinets. Basically the things that seem to end up at the bottom of any to-do list because they are hidden. I clean, organize, donate and throw away lots of stuff that piles up over the course of the year!
Jessica H says
CLEAN ME!
Spring cleaning is all of the above – I’ve already started some tomato seeds, and plan to use my new handheld Shark steam cleaner on all the surfaces in the house just like the infomercial showed me :)
Ellen says
CLEAN ME!
Oh dear, spring cleaning time already? Well, since we had our house professionally deep cleaned before we moved in in January, I’m thinking I might forego spring cleaning this year… But I could sure use that vacuum and pet hair broom – on a daily basis!
Siri says
CLEAN ME!!!! spring cleaning just started today… with finally taking down my christmas tree. whoops!
Andie says

Denelda says

Lynette says
CLEAN ME!!!
I am slowly starting the spring cleaning. Starting by a guest room revamp. Cleaning out closets rearranging furniture and purge purge purge!!!
Amber says
CLEAN ME!
Spring cleaning means scrubbing the kitchen cabinets inside and out and using up all the food stored in the freezer.
That pet hair broom looks awesome! My dog is currently shedding big time and these tools would help to tame the hair tumbleweeds currently invading my house!
Amanda says
CLEAN ME
Spring Cleaning started a week ago…I’ve begun going through all the clothes in my closet. Donating/Purging unused items.
Kristen says
Clean me! I am working on cleaning my closets!
Maycie says
CLEAN ME!!
Melisa says
CLEAN ME!
Cleaning the carpets & organizing all cupboards
Melinda says
CLEAN ME!
We always start with dusting and cleaning the wood blinds! We have them on every window of the house, and they seem to pick up every stray dust particle!
laura s says
Clean Me!!!!
A couple of times a month I visit my local Goodwill to see what kind of goodies I can find but once or twice a year i clean every cabinet/closet/nook/cranny/shelf/box and take a car load of goodies for others to choose from :)
Amy says
CLEAN ME
Oh please oh please oh please!
Well, we not only have to do Spring Cleaning, but we need to do some serious purging and rearranging for our first baby on the way! This will mainly consist of turning our office/junk room into a nursery, and getting WAY more creative with storage. Oh, and scrubbing baseboards and cleaning curtains and that sort of icky stuff.
Sarah says
CLEAN ME
OMG I can’t believe you are giving one away! Thank you! We call vacuuming “ahh suckey suckey” at work. I think it’s from a movie! so silly!
No little nuances or plans of attack when it comes to at home cleaning…just gotta get the job done. Having the right tools makes it a lot easier! Crossing my fingers and toes for this one!
Courtney D says
CLEAN ME! Spring is in the air and the contents of our utility room are strewn about the house… why is it that the first 60 degree weekend of the year sparks the desire to completely empty (and thus spend time cleaning) the most dungeon-ous room in our house!?!
Melo says
Clean me!
First spring in our new apt., so no routine yet. Cleaning or deep-cleaning baseboards, doorknobs, doors, keys, windows and curtains sound like a great idea!
Brent says

Amy in Lake Tahoe says

I started spring cleaning this weekend and I can’t wait until next weekend to do more. We cleaned out the garage and set up a new, more in depth recycling area!
Kirsten Keane says

Brendy says

What don’t I want to clean? But I’ll start with the closet and the yard.
Anna S says
CLEAN ME!
I need to go through my closets this Spring for sure! Too many clothes that never get worn taking up precious storage space.
Beylah says
CLEAN ME, please! :)
While I am yet to start on any *serious* spring cleaning, what I have been doing is getting all of my pet supplies organized and clean for my two furbabies. I’ve been re-purposing old containers and placemats for food dishes, getting on a more rigid schedule for cleaning and shopping, and trying to find creative ways to save time — like with a vacuum that actually works (instead of spitting out pet hair everytime I suck it up)!
Jamie Escola says
CLEAN ME!
One of my least favorite spring cleaning chores… WINDOWS! So, while I’m waiting for the weather to warm up, I’m cleaning the inside of one window each day. That way, when the nice weather arrives, I can take my spring cleaning outside!
Sonia says
Clean me
Spring cleaning this year is all about getting ready for our baby due this spring…painting, organizing, etc.
Kathy Lou says
CLEAN ME!
I am following the Apartment Therapy Kitchen Cure 2010 and cleaning and organizing my kitchen one step at a time. So far my pantry, fridge and spice cabinet were cleaned out the first week, now I’m working on my tools.
joanna says
CLEAN ME
we bought a house this winter that had been vacant for a year. we weren’t able to clean up all of the leaves (and there were tons of them – it is a corner property!) before all of the big snowstorms this winter. so yesterday we got started on shoveling up all of the wet, smashed leaves. next up are the dead bushes and crawling vines. we have our work cut out for us!
Marianne says
“Clean me”
I feel very whatevery about Spring Cleaning, but I’m a renter…this time of year means long days getting longer and longer up in northern Canada and time to do seed selections and start planning rasied bed plots! Lots of plants need a head start up here but do great. We have a short growing season, but intense due to the 22 hour daylit days/nights!
Also, incidentally, we have two cats and we get dust buffalos roaming around but the end of the week. Go bissell!
Danielle says
CLEAN ME!
After a year of remodeling, this is our first spring in our house that we actually can clean anything. The list is now a mile long!
Lauren H says
CLEAN ME!
As we begin boxing up our winter clothes to break out our oh-so-desired spring getups, we always donate the items that we didn’t wear this year. This coming weekend is when we will make the clean/switch.
Kirsten Keane says
My goal is to vacuum the bedroom. I know it sounds horrible, but I can barely fit my current vacuum in the room! And I have a feeling all the hair (both pet and human) would stop the current one dead in its tracks.
