***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”
This is my girlfriend and my first spring in our first house. I hope we come up with a good spring cleaning ritual…In the mean time we are working on a new veggie garden.
Melissa says
Clean me: That is what every thing in my house is saying to me. I take about 2 weeks every June and clean every room of my house. It is a dreadful job, but someone has to do it. However, my vaccum is falling apart. My husband had to saw down the handle yesterday and add two new screw holes to it. Therefore, I really need to win this PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CLEAN ME
I am doing the most spring cleaning I have ever done since I just bought my first house so I am getting it ready AND cleaning out the rental that we have had for 5 years. I could definitely use a new vacuum!
kadywood says
Clean me!
We start with the closets and end with the freezer in the basementt.
Christen says
Clean me!!!! I’m selling my house and need to keep it perfectly staged and spotless at all times.
Tiffanie says
CLEAN ME!
I devoted an entire 2-year-old’s naptime to picking stuff up and returning little items to their “home” in our little house this weekend. Amazing how just getting the tiny little things back to where they belong unclutters your life!
Meryl says
Clean Me!
The hubby and I just rented a carpet shampooer- something we do twice a year. Clean carpets and open windows officially kick off the spring cleaning :)
Matt P says
My Roomba soooo doesn’t do well right before people come over. I have been in the hunt for a real vacuum!
Maribel says
CLEAN ME!
I start by cleaning out my closet to make room for spring/summer clothes.
Candace says
CLEAN ME!
Spring cleaning is always time to get the carpets cleaned. This has been a long winter with lots of snow this year. Extra dirt seems to have been tracked in this winter. Looking forward to warm weather and clean floors.
Stephanie says
Clean Me!
First on my list this spring is to clean and vacuum all of the baseboards in the house. I know I should do this on a more regular basis. But since my 10 month old learned how to crawl 2 weeks ago, I’ve got to get going on this one!
Amanda says
CLEAN ME!! I clean out my closet and get rid of the ones I don’t wear anymore and either sell them on consignment or give them away. This year, I am having a garage sale, so I will be doing extra cleaning/organizing this year to gather up stuff to sell.
Brent says
Clean Me!
I’m a neat freak, so our house is always tidy, but I love the spring because we get to tear the house apart and scrub it top to bottom. Windows, floors, stove, you name it, it gets the royal treatment!
Stephanie says
CLEAN ME!
I have two dogs (big ones – around 100 lbs each) and two cats so there’s LOTS of hair around my house. I know this all too well after vacuuming, steam-cleaning, and mopping almost every square inch this past weekend.
elise says
CLEAN ME!
We’re in the process of spring cleaning, which to me mostly means getting rid of the flotsam and jetsam that have somehow infiltrated into our home. Getting rid of the crap makes it so much easier to clean and our home much nicer.
Alison says
Clean me!!
I am currently trying to get all the winter dusty haze out of the house and make the house seem lemony fresh and clean! Oh, and clean the closets, give away old clothes and shoes, plant seeds and get rid of the final leaves clinging to the yard…
CLEAN ME says
I will be going through my closet and donating everything I don’t wear to make room for my summer clothes. Yay, Summer!
Katie says
CLEAN ME!
The big thing im doing right now is putting up my winter clothes and taking out all my summer stuff. I am also trying to weed out things I do not wear enough so they can go to charity. I would love this vacuum. You would be shocked at the amount of hair two chihuahuas can create!
Heather McG says
CLEAN ME
Well my spring cleaning starts with new paint(thanks for inspiring me), then moves to windows and then of course to the mounds of undercoat my two Shiba Inu’s are starting to blow as we speak!!
Aviva says
Clean me!
I have like a ginormous bag of socks that need to be sorted. I’m dreading it. Makes me want to go have a bushel of children whose only chore will be sock matching. :)
Farah Hottle says
CLEAN ME! My first Spring ritual: cleaning out all of our closets & packing up the winter wear.
Maria Fuentes-Archilla says
“CLEAN ME”
I have two labs who loose tons of hair and this would be perfect for us since we just got laminate flooring a few months ago. As a mom of a 9 month old who’s crawling all over the place, this would really help me out!!
I also need to tackle some gardening this spring!
the chatty housewife says
CLEAN ME!!!! Right now I am in the process of de-junkifying my spare room and spare room closet. It is where everything goes that doesn’t go anywhere else. That sounds silly, but it is true. There are craft supplies, wrapping supplies, spare stuff, stuff to give away, stuff to fix etc. Uugh! It is fun going through it all and letting go of the things I no longer need or love!
Beth says
Clean Me!!!
I will be going through my closets and putting stuff aside to donate.
Kat says
CLEAN ME
To get thing started, the fiance and I got rid of mismatched bookcases and bought a huge Expedit from Ikea to help organize all our books and nick-knacks. We’re also unfortunately finding and murdering mold that has been accumulating in dark corners of our apartment all winter.
Kathryn says
CLEAN ME!!!!!
Kelci says
CLEAN ME !!!
Allison says
Clean me!
Kim says
CLEAN ME!
Inside, I’ve started cleaning out the closets, and will them go over the whole house and put winter stuff away, clean windows etc.
Outside my husband and I have started picking up the sticks, etc that fell on the lawn and garden area during the winter, sweeping the deck, get the grill out etc.
So happy for spring!
Jeanna says
CLEAN ME!
Getting ready for steaming the carpets, washing windows, and seeing what plants survived the winter.
Jillian says
Clean me!
My big spring overhaul is when I get to switch winter/summer clothing and make an assessment of what I need or need to get rid of.
erin says
CLEAN ME
Staining some benches and cleaning leaf goo left over from the storms.
Samantha says
CLEAN ME!!
We are moving at the end of this month, so we will have the ultimate spring cleaning! We hope to donate and freecycle a bunch of our current items before we move. Oh, and we have 3 dogs, so we would really appreciate the two items.
ann says
CLEAN ME! We totally need this vacuum, as our current antique is on her last legs. Spring cleaning this year begins with some decluttering in the basement!
Sarah says
CLEAN ME
I just went through my closet and dresser and got rid of all the clothes that fit me 85 pounds ago.
Laura Stern says
Clean me!
Every girl needs a good vacuum! :)
Jennie says
“CLEAN ME” We spend most of our time trying to clean up dog hair and dander. A new vacuum is just what we need. It also helps get all of the spiders that make appearances in the Spring!
April says
CLEAN ME!
I’m in the process of trying to get my house ready to sell. I’ve had a rough time for the past two years and I’m ready to make a fresh start, and the best way to do that is with a clean house!
Meg says
We moved into a new house a few months ago and are expecting a baby in August so I’ve been trying to get everything unpacked and get the room ready!
Rebecca says
CLEAN ME!
I basically move every year, so that really helps with the Spring Cleaning. It’s shocking how much stuff a person collects, even when trying to live as simply as possible! This next move (at the end of the month) will hopefully be the last for a while, and a vacuum would be awesome in keeping our new place tidy.
Nancy J. says
CLEAN ME! I think I’m with you on the closets, mine definitely need some cleaning out and sprucing up!
Dawn M says
“CLEAN ME”
De-Cluttering and ripping up an old deck to see what type of condition the concrete patio is in that is underneath. I have also started planning the garden since we have hopefully had our last frost:)
Tammy says
CLEAN ME!
I’ve started my two big spring cleaning rituals – washing the windows and cleaning out the closets. If there’s an artical of clothing that hasn’t been worn in a while, it gets donated.
Christa M says
CLEAN ME
Though I totally think it would have been more fun to say “SUCK ME” but I guess we gotta keep this family oriented.
I am just happy to have ebough time to make my bed and fluff my sofa throw pillows….Spring Cleaning??? OK, I guess the windows could use a washing…..
PS – Loving this giveaway!
kate says
CLEAN ME!
I always wash the windows and SCRUB the floors!
Jolene says
Clean Me!!
A former roommate sucked up a guitar string and my vacuum has never been the same! This is awesome!
Lynn van Slyke says
“CLEAN ME!!!” I start with the closets and work my way through the whole house. It takes me about 2 weeks to complete this yearly task =)
D. Dallas says
CLEAN ME! I need a new vacuum so bad … mine has completed burned out due to a major construction project, sucking too much sheetrock dust & crumbs. The daily mess has me beside myself. Can’t even think about “spring” cleaning!
Aubrey Archuleta says
CLEAN ME!
It is always spring cleaning at my place. 4 very messy boys keep me on my toes!
Tammy says
CLEAN ME
Recently donated all my toddler’s infant toys to his brand-new cousin!
