***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 began this past weekend. I’m on a mission to de-clutter and to change my magazine pack-rat ways. I had 60+ on the curb for recycling this morning.
Brittney says
CLEAN ME! Our house is new so I haven’t done much deep cleaning yet, but with a shedding lab it feels like I am spring cleaning every week. :)
Tina C. says
CLEAN ME
Spring cleaning hasn’t actually started at our house yet, but we’re hoping finally tackle the “bonus room” upstairs that has been accumulating stuff for the past 2 years!
Abby B. says
CLEAN ME! :)
I haven’t started cleaning yet, but have big plans for the house this year, including cleaning out all of our closets and donating unused items to Goodwill. It’s long overdue!
Sam says
Clean me!
Sarah says
Clean Me! My first ritual is to reorganize the closet and put sweaters into storage and everything goes from there.
Meghan Shadrick says
CLEAN ME!
I just made the rounds in our place and washed slipcovers on our sofa and chair, had my other upholstery professionally cleaned (my two year old does serious damage with those little hands) and vacuumed all my drapes!
Liz says
CLEAN ME!!!
we’re in the market for a new vacuum and after reading your post on this Bissell, it’s #1 on our list! I have Spring Fever very, very badly this year after a long cold winter in the South so the Spring Cleaning has already begun at our home after the 1st nice weekend here in a while! This past weekend saw deep cleaning in our kitchen and bathrooms in addition to pruning and fertilizing in our front yard and building custom shelves for our closet. It would have also included vacuuming but our sad little cheap-o vacuum can no longer even pick up loose strands of carpet!!
Lucinda says
CLEAN ME!
Last year I moved my Mother into assisted Living if that wasn’t a wake up call to my get my house in order I don’t know what is. She had cancelled checks from the 70’s. Cleaning my closet is on my agenda for spring break. When school lets out and my evening slow down I’m going to try to clean out a couple of drawers a week. How do you eat an elephant?…one bite at a time.
Shanna says
CLEAN ME! Spring cleaning= getting rid of old paperwork from previous year and rearranging furniture :)
Amy says
CLEAN ME! I have started spring cleaning…have cleaned most of my window inside and out so far!
Erin N. says
CLEAN ME!
I’m working on hiring a housekeeper. I’ve determined that she’s going to be a lifesaver, and will leave me time to do the big spring cleaning projects (read: basement and garage clean out) while she (I happen to be interviewing two ladies) takes care of the regular stuff.
Kristen says
CLEAN ME!
I just moved a couple months ago so there won’t be much spring cleaning going on…just renovating!
I have a funny spring cleaning ritual that I have observed several times, but would never actually do myself and which involves a vaccuum cleaner (well okay….a shop vac).
We get a ton of snow where I live. The salt and sand that they put on the roads eventually end up on the snowbanks. Then when the snow melts, the salt and sand ends up on everyone’s lawns (especially if you live on a busy street). So in the spring people vaccuum their lawns! I think it’s just so bizarre but it always gives me a good laugh when I see it. It’s not something everyone does, but I swear I see it at least once every spring!
Shari says
CLEAN ME!
We are moving out of a home we have lived in for almost 35 years so there’s way too much stuff to go through and purge. UGH! I’m so overwhelmed I hardly know where to start! :(
Helen says
CLEAN ME!!
We will be embarking on window and base board cleaning throughout the house.
Alifiyah says
CLEAN ME!
allison says
CLEAN ME! Just went through and donated TONS of baby toys and clothes for all our fun new spring toys and clothes!
Anna Taylor says
CLEAN ME ;)
We will be doing a garage sale soon for our spring cleaning, so we can clear out my poor man’s garage and make a little money on the side for fixing up our back and maybe front yard ;)
Carol N. says
“CLEAN ME”
Cleaning out closets started this weekend and there are boxes for our Hannah Home charity ready to be picked up. Next is inside the windows and sometime after pollen season the outside will be done. I am in a major nesting mode right now and feel a big purge coming on!
heather s says
CLEAN ME!!
we moved last summer and there is still lots to be done to our house! painting, cleaning out and rearranging closets, landscaping, decorating!
kat says
CLEAN ME!!!
We just moved into a new home so I’ll go ahead and say the spring cleaning started last month with unpacking and purging. I had two big boxes of useless junk we moved from one house to another for donations- oh well, at least it’s finally gone!
sara h says
Clean me!!
We’re majorly cleaning up and cleaning out our condo this spring, about to put it on the market!
Megan says
CLEAN ME!
Spring cleaning for us means cleaning out the basement so we can eventually turn it into a “finished basement”…oh and definitely cleaning out the closets!
Drake says
Clean me.
Clorox Green works for the whole house
Cate says
Darn! We actually just bought this vacuum yesterday on your recommendation! We love it, though–haven’t gotten a chance to vacuum the whole house yet (our daughter’s scared of the vacuum, so one of us has to hold her while the other uses it), but when my husband gets home today we’re going to thoroughly vacuum the entire house and we are SO excited! We were SHOCKED last night when he vacuumed a small area near the couch and came up with a canister full of cat hair–even though he’d vacuumed with our old vacuum two days ago. Icky.
Marie Elena says
Clean me! This is the first spring cleaning in our new house, so we’re heading down to the basement to prep it for drywall!
Kristine says
CLEAN ME like I’ve been cleaning up the baby’s room getting ready for the new little one!
lindsay says
Clean me!!! I have a shiny new jute rug (it’s so YHL!!!) and it needs a pretty new vacuum to keep it looking tops!
Chelsea S says
CLEAN ME!!
Our spring cleaning this year will be consisting of cleaning out all closets, garage..etc. to get ready for our baby due in June! Plus we have a chocolate lab that loves to shed all his hair around that time, so this gift would be so perfect!!!
Sara says
Clean Me!
Getting the spring clothes out and giving the car a good scrub (inside and out).
Jenney says
Clean Me!
I usually do my big time cleaning before Jan. 1 so I can start the new year with a clean house, but anyone who knows me knows that a dirty house stresses me out! I love to make sure everything has a home and the cleaner my floors and counters are, the better. I would LOVE to win this vacuum seeing as my current one is on it’s last legs (proabbly something to do with my dog who sheds ridiculous amounts of hair everywhere!).
Amanda says
CLEAN ME!
Cleaning out our closets and doing our annual charity donation.
Kim P says
CLEAN ME!
Definitely window washing!

Spring cleaning means working on the veggie garden.
Mary H. says
CLEAN ME! Spring cleaning means cleaning the closets and drawers – less is more! Also, I’ll soon be moving in with my fiance and I can’t wait to put the Bissell to work for us!
Amie Barber & Abbey Road says
CLEAN ME! Because lord knows my live-in boyfriend Grant sure wont! :)
Abbey Cat (long haired fuzzball) + tiny apartment + hopeless boyfriend = Amie always cleans. ALWAYS.
A new vacuum and AWESOME broom would sure help me out!!
Lauren says
CLEAN MEEEEEEEE!!!
We’re moving to our first home in 80 days (not that I’m counting) and I’m not sure our el cheap-o apartment vacuum would cut it in the new place. Everything is getting spring cleaned in our apartment right now. Just cleaned out closets, drawers, cupboards, desks….you name it, I’m on it!
Sarah says
CLEAN ME!
I empty out all the drawers of our little ‘junk cabinet’ and discard, donate, reorganize!
Also, LOVE to plant poppies and daffodils – spring is finally here!
Kristen says
CLEAN ME!
Spring cleaning for the past five years has involved moving of furniture to get the dust rhinos out from where they lurk behind( way to big to be considered bunnies), going through the giant junk pile that has amassed since the last holiday, and airing out the entire house by opening all the windows and cranking up some fantastic music to inspire the cleaning! This spring will be the first in our new house and as a married couple– so spring cleaning this year will mean the purging of our singledom junk ( why did we both keep high school notebooks until we were 30?) and cleaning and combining for our married life!
Sarah says
Clean me!
It would be awesome to find a great Spring Cleaning guide. (hint, hint!) ;)

Christina Araiza says

CLEAN ME!
Our spring cleaning started this past week-end. We had beautiful weather in KY and decided to clean the garage floor and straightened the cabinets.
Annalea says
Clean me, pretty please. :o)
Bonus question answer: I rearrange furniture. I’ve changed around the boys’ room and the girls’ room, and I’m on to the bonus room/play room next. I love it.
Jared says
CLEAN ME!
Cleaning out the closets and purging unnecessary items.
Christin says
CLEAN ME!!!
We haven’t started spring cleaning yet. YET, is the key word there, haha. Every year I go through my clothing and if I haven’t worn it in a year – it goes to Salvation Army or the Warming Center we volunteer at. This year I want to do that with STUFF. old folders of random information I thought I’d use and never did, decor items that we don’t use anymore etc. I love doing this kind of thing so I’m excited to go through stuff and get rid of stuff! (Or, donate it so someone else kind find them useful.) Can’t wait to see how your closets turned out. :)
Steph says
CLEAN ME!!!!
We have already started with the lawn…an entire day of racking and burning.
Next on the list is window washing – yuk!
Natty B. says
CLEAN ME!
You know that track that your sliding glass door slides on, where all sorts of dirt and stuff likes to gather? Well mine’s gonna sparkle! (As soon as it’s warm enough to open the darn thing!)
