***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 started with the closets, organizing and throwing out clothes, and the next step is the garage with a future garage sale in mind!
CLEAN ME!

I would LOVE this vacuum! We have 2 yellow labs, and it is a chore trying to keep their hair at bay! We will start cleaning our closets and underneath the bed soon! Just trying to get everything in order so we can get it over with!
Thank you!

I need to get my bottom in gear- my BFF is coming to visit in 11 days, and my guest room/office/junk room does not have any room for the air mattress! Ugh! Why do I wait until the last minute?!?!?!
Tara says
CLEAN ME
We’re getting ready to completely empty and reorganize our storage/laundry room. As we’ve organized the house, anything without a home somehow ended up there.

“CLEAN ME” Last weekend my hubby surprised me with cleaning out our garage and the upstairs guest rooms!! This weekend depending on weather i am hoping to start on our mess of a yard (we just bought our home and there is ZERO land scaping).
Anna says

We are doing a bit of renovating, so spring cleaning will be delayed a bit… I can’t wait to get rid of all that drywall dust!!
jennifer says

Annual spring cleaing ritual: taking down and cleaning all the light fixtures! Also, washing windows ooh and blinds! Spring cleaning is SO revitalizing!

We’re trying to get our messy boarders called our children to stuff their toys into clean bins at the end of the day. Pray for us.

This time of year, I am usually more attentive to the sad state of my yard. I start getting up all of the dead leaves so my lilies can poke out!
Christine Smith says
CLEAN ME!
Allison says
Clean Me!
I go through every room and do a deep clean. We’re talking baseboards, blinds, window tracks…everything. Not fun…but clean :)
Amy says
CLEAN ME! I’m not only spring cleaning, but nesting (4 months pregnant!). We’ve already cleaned the fridge & oven & are moving on to the linen closet, medicine cabinets & pantry.
Sandi says
I bought a Dyson 6 mo. ago and as far as suction, its there, but it is a very difficult sweeper to use. The extension wand is a bear. I am very anal when it comes to vacuuming my floors. We too are big dog lovers and have two so I am always sweeping. As a matter of fact after a hospital stay, hysterectomy, I wasn’t allowed to push my vacuum. My floors were screaming “CLEAN ME” and as dear as my husband is, sweeping is not his thing so for two weeks after my surgery I crawled on my hands and knees with a shipping tape dispenser and taped all the dirt up in my house every single day!
alison says
CLEAN ME!
Everything under our roof is under spring cleaning inspection right now. Especially our air filters
cindy says
“clean me”
right now i’m organizing drawers so that i can do the little drawer liner project you guys posted about not long ago. very excited about adding a little life to some drab drawers. :)
Meredith K A says
CLEAN ME please!
I actually just bought this exact vacuum as a result of the perfect conditions existing: it had been on our short list of potential vacuums to purchase; I had $75 in gift certificates to amazon.com; and then you two recommended it. SO if random.org pics me, I am not sure what I’d do, but I sure would enjoy that pet hair broom as well – my wood floors produce dust bunnies prodigiously.
I am getting ready for spring by selling the Japanese Maple in my backyard that’s in the perfect spot for a veggie garden, and planning where to plant and re-plant everything around my yard (we’re getting rid of a hard-to-mow-around island garden that’s ugly anyway, and a big, ugly shrub that encroaches on our driveway). Some of the cool plants will be relocated to elsewhere in the garden, but the nondescript ones that don’t even flower are just getting tossed into the ol’ yard waste bin.
Amanda Benton says
CLEAN ME!
Junk drawers are a big issue this year. We plan to organize all of them into ONE drawer and find homes for all of the other random stuff.
Alixandrea Osborn says

jenae says
Clean me!!!!
Heidi says
CLEAN ME!
We are going to review/revamp our current basement storage. I hate that once it hits the basement it is a nightmare to get back out due to stacking boxes!
Carol says
Clean me – Please!! :)
I’m most looking forward to the “outdoor” spring cleaning this year – some landscaping, planning & planting flower beds, and getting our lawn back in shape!!
This vacuum would make the indoor spring cleaning so much more exciting!
Thanks.
Michelle Carter says
CLEAN ME
One of my least favorite spring/fall cleaning things to do is to wipe down all of the mop boards. It’s a huge pain but I love the difference it makes!
Kathy says
CLEAN ME!
Heidi P says
CLEAN ME
It’s time to admit that under the couch cusions is the scariest place in our house and it’s time to suck up any lovelies that may be lurking under there- this would be the perfect tool to help us out!
Sarah says
CLEAN ME
We’ve started spring cleaning by opening all the windows in the house and letting it air out while we dust!
I’m ready to get our yards in shape too!

4 cats = desperate need for pet hair problem solvers!
Outside clean up is the name of the spring cleaning game around here. With six acres of land, it kind of has to be! It usually involves removing wood detritus from the patio and sprucing that up a bit, and my favorite….gardening! My other half has promised me he’s building me new planting boxes this year…yippee!
Chris says
CLEAN ME!
Prepping our patio for some summertime relaxing. :)

Irene says
CLEAN ME!!!
My husband and I live in a tiny NYC apartment, so have to rotate our wardrobe out of storage seasonally. This also creates a great opportunity to toss or donate items we never wear.
Jami says
CLEAN ME – my favorite shift into springtime is moving all my summer clothes to the drawers and putting the winter ones in the bins under the bed – this forces me to clean them out!
Suzanne Gibbs says
CLEAN ME!
My dog sheds more than any other dog alive. I swear! We need this!!
Kelly says
CLEAN ME!
We are clearing out the basement and painting the floors in the basement and garage.
Lauren Ashley says
CLEAN ME
I really need this vacuum! I just moved from Washington to my very own apartment in CT and I sold my pitiful old vacuum to my old roomie.
Every year in the spring I go through my clothes/shoes and donate everything I haven’t warn in the past year to Good Will. Helps me clear out some closet space and feel pretty darn good!
