***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
Getting ready for spring means starting seeds indoors, finally opening the windows to let fresh air in, and purging our house of things we no longer use. Goodwill should be expecting a large donation within the next few weeks! I tend to do more furniture redos in spring and summer because I can open up the apartment. Just this weekend I repainted a dresser and a lamp! Gotta love cheap spruce ups!

CLEAN ME!
Spring cleaning has included reorganzing the mud room, pantry, cleaning all the baseboards, walls, and windows. Trying to put off the closet clean out for as long as possible.
Sou says
CLEAN ME!
We really don’t have any specific spring cleaning rituals, but we are planning to sell the house in summer and the new vacuum will really help us keep the house in top shape!
Carolyn says
Clean Me!!
I know its spring when I spent hours at the gardening store picking up supplies! And when I get enough sun in the house to see all the dust piling up on the baseboards. Deep cleaning is in my future!
Sandy says
“CLEAN ME” Can’t wait to find an use a vacuum & broom that actually picks up dog hair!!!!!
Sherry says
CLEAN ME!
I usually go through all of mine and my husbands clothes and take all of the un-used to goodwill. Along with other un-needed items. It really cleans out the house.
Emily says
CLEAN ME!
I’m moving in with my boyfriend this spring, so my spring cleaning will involve lots of boxes and some Craigslist ads!
Jeannine @ Small & Chic says
CLEAN ME!
We’re having new floors put in today and tomorrow, so everything is getting scrutinized and a lot is getting donated. I love passing things along and seeing room on shelves and in drawers.
juliana says
CLEAN ME!!
Dear god please clean me.
We have FIVE animals in the house with us — two cats and three dogs. It’s all I can do to keep up with the fuzz on everything. My sister-in-law has terrible allergies and I can’t invite them over for fear of giving her an attack.
Spring cleaning is underway in the form of decluttering and reorganizing at our place. I’ve also just started planting some herbs and starting some others from seed in my mini-greenhouse.
Kelly says
CLEAN ME!!!
I live in a condo so there isn’t much spring cleaning to do but when it does start to get warmer I like to clean the garage every once in a while.
Heather says
CLEAN ME
I can’t even begin to explain how appropriate this giveaway is for our current needs! Our vaccuum is on its last leg, and pet hair is my biggest enemy at this point. (In fact, I’m pretty sure that I’m going to run out and buy that broom this weekend if I don’t win!)
On another note, I’m on a big time organizing and squeaky-clean kick at the moment.
Ashley @ Mutschler Family, Dallas Edition says
CLEAN ME!
This time of year, I really really need to get in the yard and spruce it up.
Dianne says
CLEAN ME!!!! I have been cleaning out closets, and also my creative spaces. I am a quilter, stitcher, sewer, etc. and all that “stuff” takes over! I’ve been organizing so that I know what I have, and making things pretty again!
Shannon says
Clean Me!!
I do the window washing ordeal every spring so I can enjoy the fresh Texas breezes in the spring. Plus you have inspired me to get the clutter out and become more organzed. I’ve been tackling it an area at a time since January. That was my New Years Resolution. Find a place for everything, or donate it. It not only has uncluttered my house, but also my mind because I don’t have to look at that every day.
Kim says
CLEAN ME
I usualy start the garden mid april, but this year we are getting married, so spring cleaning to me means collecting bags for good will. We are going through our house and swapping wedding gifts for hand me downs. And it Rocks!! Oh did I mention I have a long haired white cat and brown dog, I am sweeping or vacuming daily!
Allison says
CLEAN ME!!
I always clean out closets, wash windows and get started on yard work for spring.

I need to clean-up all of my cat hair in the apartment. It’s driving me crazy.
Chrissie says
Clean Me!! =) I love reorganizing closets, so I’m going to try to join you in your closet fun… but first I want to paint the inside of the closet! I just bought a new house and have painted every other surface, and the inside of the closets are the browny-taupe that was a perfectly fine color until I started painting all the other hallways with a different, cleaner neutral. So now the inside of my closet bugs me and will be the next to be tackled =)
Katie says
CLEAN ME! I’ve already done some spring decluttering in our home, but we have a major fixer-upper and are constantly cleaning up after reno projects.
Cara says
CLEAN ME!
We trek our house room by room, expunging & donating anything that wasn’t used last season or in the last 6 months. It’s a very freeing task!
Elaine says
CLEAN ME! Closets need to be cleaned out. Lots to be donated!

“Clean Me”
This weekend dedicated to the kitchen pantry and my hubby began working on the yard and getting it ready for Spring. This will soon be followed up with de-cluttering of office and garage.
Karen J says
CLEAN ME clean my kids! For March Break we “ship” the kids off to their grandparents for the week, and then my husband and I clean and organize as much as possible around the house. The windows, garage and gardening stay until the weather is in the double digits (I hate the cold)late-April to mid-May.
Jen says
CLEAN ME!
We believe in year round cleaning, nothing special for the Spring

Dusting everything – from the venetian blinds to the baseboards.
Cindy @ The Flipping Couple says
CLEAN ME!
We are DEFINITELY in spring cleaning mode! We’ve been purging our basement, and now I’m working on clearing out our office and re-doing all of our files (holy paperwork, batman!).
I have a shedding dog and am positively drooling over that broom!!

RA says
Clean me!
I always go through each room around this time of year to find stuff to donate to Goodwill. But this year, we’re redoing our laundry room, so that is taking up a lot of my brain space. :)
Anna says
CLEAN ME!
My spring cleaning ritual involves cleaning out the closet, picking out the clothes that I have not worn in a year, and donating them.
And due to the warm weather arriving early this year, I motivated myself to start redecorating my boring standard-issue cubicle at work. It looks better already!
Oh, btw, I was recently introduced to your blog, and I absolutely love it! Have been browsing it (a bit too much) ever since!
Amanda says
CLEAN ME
We have been spring cleaning like crazy…We take bags to goodwill daily around here as well as just throwing stuff out that is broken, missing parts, etc! Take 20 mins and fill a bag works well around here :)
I hope I get that broom with a huge German Shepherd the pet hair I sweep up daily would be such a breeze!
Cate says
Clean me! Cleaning out closets, painting the bedrooms, painting our new picket fence, painting the front door red…lots of general sprucing up! I’m in a nesting mood.
Lindsey says
CLEAN ME!
I’ve been on a spring-cleaning kick for the past few weeks actually… but no matter what I do I can’t get rid of the dog hair!! My dog has started shedding like crazy – so this weekend I will once again be making an attempt to remove all the dog hair from my apartment! (this giveaway would definitely help with that, haha) I’m also on a mission to clean/reorganize our kitchen. :)
Christina says
CLEAN ME!
Cleaned out the basement last weekend, next weekend will be the garage!
Sara N. says
CLEAN ME!!!!
Awww spring cleaning! I have a vey large/deep/narrow closet that is quite worthless. It is a dumping ground and I am afraid to open the door! Need to clean it out. Also getting ready to pressure wash the house, redo out front flower beds, and rake up all the gumballs that have dropped into our back yard! Can’t wait to start enjoying the outside again!
Damia says
CLEAN ME! :)
We started in the yard yesterday – clearing back all the dead flowers and branches… including some wisteria that was totally out of control :)

This vac and broom would be perfect, I have two Jack Russell’s, a 36, 8 and 9 month old and spring cleaning is going to be very overwhelming this year….I don’t even know where to start!!
Thanks!!
Carley says
CLEAN ME!
We just moved last weekend, so my spring cleaning began with going through all of my belongings before putting them in the new house. The stuff we decide to get rid of will be given away or sold at a garage sale.
Ashley Shaunessy says
CLEAN ME!
I’m totally in on your closet party!
Kelly says
CLEAN ME-
I have already started to clean out the closet and move “winter” clothes out of the closet. I get to miss out on my least fav chore cleaning windows, since we just got new ones a few weeks ago!
