***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! Our spring cleaning is underway… we moved in to our new house in June 09, and now we are ready to get the back yard spring friendly! Finally unpacking all our stuff and arrainging them the way we want… one weekend at a time!
Jessica C says
Clean me!!!!!
Last weekend was cleaning the back of the basement…the area that kind of houses anything we don’t want laying around the house.
Hopefully this weekend I’ll be joining the closet cleaning party. I need to get rid of all of the clothes I keep hanging on to “just incase” I want to wear it. Yea, that “just incase” never comes around so I’m bringing it all to good will.
Doni says
Clean Me!
I have big plastic totes for everything. I pack up my off season clothes and shoes….but before I change my season’s wardrobe..I take a honest look at the the item to see ask myself if I am going to wear them. I have an empty bag for donations (and a spreadsheet to document for tax purposes) right next to my bin and closet.
Ian says
CLEAN ME!!
Our vacuum is horrible and barely sucks anything!
Jen says
CLEAN ME! You have no idea how much we need this! We have a very large, very furry dog!
Cleaning out the closets! I love switching over winter to spring clothes and donating stuff I don’t wear.
Lori says
CLEAN ME
…my teenage sons are helping me with the spring cleaning inside and outside since my husband was sent away for his job rather suddenly for three months!! So far we have trimmed about 50 rose bushes, scrubbed kitchen cabinets, floors, windowsills and baseboards, and wiped down the blades of all ceiling fans!! We’re also going through their outgrown clothes and extra unused stuff around the house so we can help out others in need.
Megan A. says
CLEAN ME!!!
We did most of our spring cleaning and cleaning out over the winter break when we had some time off.
Hopefully the garden can get planted soon!
Meredith says
CLEAN ME
Cleaning out the closets and donating itmes to Goodwill… with the windows open to make my home smell fresh.
Mandy Ford says
CLEAN ME!! My husband cleaned our kitchen window last night – how’s that for spring cleaning? ;)
Heather says
CLEAN ME!
We still have snow around here, so spring cleaning hasn’t started YET, but first on the list will be the windows! I’m sick of looking out through the built-up haze.
Kaethe says
Clean Me!
It warmed up enough that we spent this weekend getting the bikes out of the basement and ready to go. The other big spring cleaning project is carpet cleaning, a big chore with three cats, two kids, lots of coffee drinking, and beige carpets.
Emily Pearl says
Clean me!
1st step in cleaning is getting all the pet hair that has accumulated in our tiny 1000 square foot cottage over these cold winter months from our two giant pups. We were looking into buying a Dyson, but this could work . . .
Sabrina says
CLEAN ME!!!!!
We just finished building our house a couple of months ago, so most of my normal spring cleaning routine doesn’t have to be done this year. But we are planting grass and landscaping and washing windows and siding. Does that count? :)
Hillary F says
“CLEAN ME”
Each year I reorganize my garage and in home office to make sure what little space I have is functioning as efficiently as possible.
Steph says
CLEAN ME!
We just moved from a small, 5th floor walk-up in New York to a 4 bedroom foreclosure in Cali that is 90% carpet! Oh and we have a black lab with lots of shedding happening. As for spring cleaning, i’m not sure where to begin. I might start with the nail holes and the katie and sarah BFF written on the closet wall in glitter fabric pens :) Thanks for the contest, cute couple.
Denise says
CLEAN ME!
I’m currently tackling the closets.
Nichole P says
CLEAN ME! I would love to give that wonderful vacuum a new home! My husband & I are tackling uncluttering our lives as a 2010 resolution so that we can live more simply & to our full potential. So far we’ve tackled our wardrobes, cleaning schedule, the garden, laundry schedule, working out, and next… the basement! While the projects might not be the most glamorous, they sure make life a little simpler!
Laura says
CLEAN ME!
Laura Capps says
CLEAN ME!
Cleaning out our closets!
Jeannette says
CLEAN ME! This is great!
I am looking forward to cleaning the windows and then opening them up to air out the house!
Heather W says
CLEAN ME!!!
I go through our kids closets and clean out their clothes that don’t fit anymore (and since they’re still little this actually needs to happen more often than just once a year). I take out the next size clothes and get it ready for the coming spring season.
stephanie d says
Clean Me!!!
Oh my gosh…I soooo need this vacuum! I have never been a big carpet fan. I just feel like it is wearing cloths for months without ever washing them-yuck! However, I have a 2 year old who likes to wrestle with his daddy and a 6 month old who’s rolling around everywhere and hard wood floors don’t accommodate either of these actions. Solution? Rugs…we have lots of area rugs and this time of year I like to rent a carpet cleaner and cleanse the nasty out of them. Hope I win!!!!!
Sarah says
CLEAN ME!
Spring means time to purge/recycle and organize! Current project is our office, but all rooms could use some attention. I just need to find the time…
Jenn says
Clean Me!
My husband and i go through all the closets and throw away things that havent been used in a year.
CourtneyM says
CLEAN ME!
I’ve been decluttering & giving away in preparation for more serious spring cleaning.
Sara says
CLEAN ME!
I take all of my winter clothes out of my drawers (I’ll keep one or two long sleeve shirts in there just in case) and replace them with my spring/summer clothes. Can’t wait!!!
Kelly says
Clean me!! I am removing wallpaper, getting to be a pro at it, I must say!
Jennifer says
Clean me!
I just finished cleaning out our bedroom closet and the pantry. Next up is the linen/everything else I have no idea either what it is or where to put it closet!
Susan says
Clean Me!
I have just finished cleaning out 6 closets in my house. Our daug., with her family of 4, just moved in with us for a few months, so 3 out of 4 bedroom closets were COMPLETLY emptied…now that was a challenge, to say the least!!! I also cleaned out the utility closet, leaving her 2 emptied shelves, and cleaned out the pantry. It’s amazing how much stuff we cling to, that we really don’t need or even want after a period of time. I feel empowered.
lauren says
CLEAN ME!
This coming weekend I am planning a bathroom overhaul! My bathroom has zero, zip, nada storage and it seems that no matter what I do I can’t keep it clean and organized. This weekend is going to be all about both those things… cleaning out and organizing in a tiny space. Wish me luck!
tottyvb says
Clean me- PLEASE!
My vacuum JUST died!
Kim Klippel says
CLEAN ME!
I’m painting, painting, painting! Rooms, hallway, three bathrooms, and a closet. All required major cleaning before the painting and organizing could commence. Everything is looking so much fresher and cleaner that it’s well worth the effort.
I love your site. It’s inspirational and has been a great motivator. Thanks!
Veronica says
CLEAN ME!!!
I am going though my closets, sorting all the winter clothes to the back, and the summery, colorful, lighter clothes to the front :)
Melissa says
CLEAN ME!
What an awesome giveaway!
This week is my spring break from classes, and I’m using the time to get our closets and the patio in order! I’ve been having dreams about potted plants and blooming flowers, so I can’t wait to turn our balcony into a sweet springy oasis!
Kellen says
CLEAN ME!
Cleaning out multiple closets!!
Kelly says
CLEAN ME!
I haven’t done a lick of housework in weeks (my sweet husband has been taking care of it while I finish up my master’s thesis). However, I have a loooooong list of spring cleaning items for after graduation in a few weeks that starts with dusting! From ceiling fans on down, that stuff needs to be GONE!
Katie says
CLEAN ME!!!
Forget “Spring Cleaning”…I’m still battling with everyday cleaning with pets and their FUR. I want this vacuum!!!
tamstyles says
Clean me…PLEASE
Megan W says
CLEAN ME!
I’ve started a list of spring cleaning tasks we want to tackle, including getting our carpet cleaned, cleaning out our pantry and giving our granite countertops some TLC.
Charity says
oh please, oh please CLEAN ME!
As far as spring cleaning, we just moved into our new home (1943 bungalow) – and the previous owner was a bit of a hoarder, we hear. The house was cleared, thankfully, but the garage is a crazy mess – more shovels in there than anyone could use. Now that the weather is turning warm, I have great ambitions for clearing it out and making it so we can open our car doors all the way. Wish us luck… especially with the spider eggs I spotted the other day. Ugh.
Gretchen says
Clean me! Well, we’re actually moving house at the moment so we have spring cleaning and boxing up all happening at once. It’s exhausting!!
Kelly says
CLEAN ME!!
We just moved into our house in September, so this Spring will be our first for spring cleaning — and since we’re still getting the rest of the house in order, this vacuum will really come in handy!
adrienne says
CLEAN ME!Started spring cleaning over the weekend. Vacuuming behind furniture. Wow, the dust/pet hair really piles up. It’s actually a little gross. My big upcoming project – the ATTIC!
Danielle says
CLEAN ME
Cleaning out the closet, exchanging winter for summer!
Patricia says

After a surgery last year left me depressed and out of commission, this year, I am looking forward to cleaning out the house and cleaning up the garden.
