***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!
We have a four month old baby and are kept constantly busy looking after her, so the only thing on my Spring cleaning list this year is our white wood blinds.
Carrie says
Clean Me! My current spring cleaning project involves going through the house, purging all the things we really don’t use so we can have a yard sale. And of course, the biggest purge – tackling the basement which has filled itself to the brim with junk during the winter somehow.
Nikki P says
CLEAN ME
I took advantage of the plastic storage sale this year at Home Depot. Got fun colors and am looking forward to some basement organizing!
Laura says
Clean Me please!
I am cleaning out the closets! Making room for new spring/summer clothes.
Tiffany says
CLEAN ME and my dirty floors!!!!!
I do a major closet/dresser drawer/kitchen drawer/etc organization and purge of the junk they collect throughout the months. I like to feel fresh and clutter free for spring and summer!
Heather Wendling says
CLEAN ME
I need to tackle the closet under the stairs which serves as our attic – sort, donate, throw away, organize and (hopefully) put everything back in the closet. It’s a monster!
T. Bain says
Clean Me!!
This Bissel sounds like it can hold its own against the uber-expensive Dyson vacuums. I’d love to win it!! My large living room rug and all the carpet on the second floor would be oh so grateful!!
Spring cleaning rituals:
1. Cleaning out the garage (following your step by step). This will be a first — and since we’ve been in the house 5 years, there’s a lot of crap in there!!!
2. Cleaning all windows. I’v ready for the sun to STREAM on in!
3. Refresh rooms with new paint and accessories. Trying to build a cohesive color scheme now!!
lana @ make a house a home says
Clean Me!
We have started propping for our garden. We also like to de-junk our house every spring and get rid of the boxes in our basement!
Amy Weatherly says
CLEAN ME!
We are working on an investment property (flip) and we are about to take the word “cleaning” to a whole new level. This house needs an overhaul!!!

Melissa S. says
Clean Me! This weekend started my case of spring fever. Happy to say the all the windows were washed. Then, comes spring pollen & repeat.
jill says
Clean Me!!
I’m starting with downsizing the toy collection in our house. We have more firetrucks than we have boys!
Kelly says
CLEAN ME!
Would you ever believe that our vacuum broke the same week you wrote the initial post, and we’re planning to buy this at the end of the month? What a treat if we win it for free! Certainly would help with the interior spring cleaning – I focused this weekend on blowing all the leaves out of the yard to get ready to plant our first garden!
sarah t says
CLEAN ME
I need to take my posters out of my closet and put them on my walls. Then my closet will be cleaner! Does that count? :) (I do, of course, plan to tackle that this spring)

My spring cleaning list includes scrubbing off the decks and sealing them, and cleaning our front porch from top to bottom.

CLEAN ME.
First order of business is to clena out the kitchen cupboards and fridge. Next is to wash windows and sills–all while keeping up with this year’s garden.
Jess says
CLEAN ME!!! I love spring cleaning! Being the organized little diva that I am, I print out a list of cleaning to-do’s for each room, grab my bucket of supplies, turn up the music and I’m off on my mission!
Sandra says
CLEAN ME!
Window washing and closet cleaning are high on our to-do lists. Plus pruning our wardrobes and donating the extras to Goodwill.

Holy cow! CLEAN ME! I would love this!
I’ve actually been putting off spring cleaning… it’s just still too winter-y here.
I need chirping birds and warm sunshine to motivate me to scrub windows!
JKK says
CLEAN ME
I’m doing some major nesting this Spring preparing for the arrival of our first little one. We could really use a new vacuum!!
Laura J says
CLEAN ME! Our spring cleaning got started a little early this year because my old college roomie is visiting this week. Normally, we would wait until the last week of winter, but nothing is more welcoming than a sparkling home!
Kelly says
CLEAN ME….
I’m all about ridding the couch cushions of embedded dog fur….machine wash and dry! Also just washed all my curtains to iron and hang again! Gotta love spring cleaning!
Jennie M says
“CLEAN ME”
Love spring cleaning!
Erin C. says
CLEAN ME!
We just moved into a new house… spring cleaning for us will mean unpacking about a million boxes. :)
Kat says
CLEAN ME! (Is it bad that the pet hair broom has me drooling?)
I’ve already started getting my hands dirty in the garden…and trying to will the grass to grow again after all the snow killed it. I’m also volunteering with my local SPCA’s yard sale, which always results in a major purge of junk. My windows are open today for the first time this year, and the fresh air has me planning all the projects that will surely keep me busy until next spring!
Stef says
Clean Me! My vac just died last week!
Laurel says
CLEAN ME!
I have a very strict weekly cleaning schedule that I have to stick to!

Sadly, it’s too early to think about spring here in Alaska. But I’ve been working on my plans for summer renovations. I bought my house last year and can’t wait to work on it!
Jennifer B. says
CLEAN ME!
Spring cleaning? What’s that? Between full-time work and full-time school and preparing for baby, I don’t know when I’ll find the time!
I don’t mind doing it though during a free weekend with the windows open, Jack Johnson music playing, and my husband grilling out!
stacy says
CLEAN ME!
spring cleaning is getting around to the stuff normal people clean on a weekly basis! i NEED this vacuum!

CLEAN ME!!! I just started a little “spring” cleaning jsut today because the sun is shining and we are actually above freezing-YAY! I love to clean out and reorganize the kids closets in preparation for the next season and also re-fold the clothes in the dressers-ahhhh, I feel better!

Clean me! Getting rid of clothes I haven’t worn in over a year and organizing my closet is what I’ve tackled lately. The whole house needs a deep clean, but it hasn’t been quite warm enough to start yet. I want to throw open the windows!
Lmackanyn says
CLEAN ME !
I have begun to clean out my daughter’s closet and have sorted all of her toys and clothes that she’s outgrown. I’ve begun packing them away into bags and boxes and plan to give them to friends and family who have babies on the way.

CLEAN ME
I’m going through our clothes and our “junk” closet in the spare bedroom to donate all the stuff we haven’t used in the last year to Goodwill. I can’t wait to re-organize whatever is leftover!
Sterling says
CLEAN ME!
Combining spring cleaning of the whole apartment with packing for an upcoming move.
Katie B. says
CLEAN ME! I’m pretty interested in that broom. I have a pet hair problem that stems from two fluffy cats. Spring cleaning will involve getting our paper (mail, bills etc) filed away or shredded).
marisa says
Clean me!!!
I just sprayed down the whole house, windows, and sidewalks and it looks tons better! Next, I’ll transfer out winter clothes and incorporate spring and summer into our closets.
Becky T says

I start on one end of the house and go top to bottom in each room as soon as our rainy season is over- usually mid March.

CLEAN ME!! I just purchased a Dyson canister vac a few weeks ago and I HATE it. I would love to try the Bissell. The Dyson is going back.
