***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 bought our first home last summer and we can’t wait to finally get out in the yard and plant bushes and flowers to make our yard look beautiful!
Julie says
CLEAN ME!!! Since I live in Northern New England where spring doesn’t really start until practically summer, I’m not even bothering starting for another month. Amen to that!
Becca says
Clean Me!! I’d like to wash the windows when it comes time to put the air conditioners back in.
Kristy says
CLEAN ME!
just started spring cleaning today, although it is rough with rainy weather we have outside. my big plans are to tackle my closet. it’s a mess and i have started not even opening it anymore, it stresses me out. so, into the closet i go…
Jenn C. says
CLEAN ME!
We’re going to head into the dark Box O’ Stuff jungle in our garage to have a look at the stuff in there that we haven’t missed in forever. What we decide we don’t need will be Freecycled or Goodwilled. Unless there really is no redemption for it, in which case, to the dumpster it goes!
Michelle says
CLEAN ME!
We just bought our first house in Pasadena, CA! And we’re looking for our first puppy! Pet hair vacuum: high on the list.
As for spring cleaning rituals: I totally recommend (I totally stole this idea from Martha S.) having a small contingency of bathroom cleaning products in each “throne room.” It makes it easier to clean on the go/on the spot even when it’s not in the scheduled cleaning maintenance plan of the week.
Sara S. says
CLEAN ME! Spring cleaning in our house includes donating clothes we haven’t worn for more than 1 yr and tossing out all our magazines over a year old.
Courtney S says
CLEAN ME!
I like to reorganize things when spring comes. I painted my bookcase grey and organized the books in vertical, pyramid shaped stacks. Each stack is organized by color, so i have a red stack of books, yellow, blue, orange, and a black and white stack with a few grey books in between the two.
Alicia says
CLEAN ME!!!!!!
Spring cleaning…my first order of business is usually cleaning baseboards and reorganizing closets from all the winter clutter. I am psyched for it to get warmer so I can clean the garage and come up with a good shoe landing system out there, I cleaned up piles and piles of dirt from dirty shoes this winter, gross!! I added some spring flowers here and there for a little color this week as well…the house just needed a little pick me up!
Nancy says
CLEAN ME!!! I love spring cleaning & I love cleaning out my closets!!! Absolutely love it! I do it all the time though. Drives my hubs crazy because I have to empty them completely and reorg them from top to bottom and once I’ve done one, I have to do them all…its so satisfying!
Sarah says
CLEAN ME! I wish I were a better housekeeper, but I’m not. Maybe a new vacuum and broom will help!
Shelle says
Clean ME! It’s just now starting to get sunny and bearable here in MI…I love throwing open the windows (after shining them, of course) and airing out our stale winter house while dusting, vacuuming, sweeping and scrubbing.
Denise says
Clean me! I am cleaning all of my plantation shutters!
Kristi Zerangue says
Clean Me!!! I have started my spring cleaning with the baseboards and blinds. Two dogs leave a lot of hair on both!
Kathryn S says
CLEAN ME! The next thing on my list is to move spring clothes my 3 year old has outgrown (from last year) over to his 2 year old brother’s dresser, and then make lists of what warm weather gear everyone needs. Even here in AZ it’s been a long, cold(er than normal) winter.
Julie says
CLEAN ME!
I purge and give away to charity. We plant flowers and get the pool cleaned and ready for the sunshine.
Blair says
CLEAN ME!
This has me so excited. I have been going through my winter/spring cleaning ritual since the Richmond snowstorm at the beginning of February! I PURGE and PURGE and PURGE. Once everything I don’t need is gone, cleaning is a breeze!
Stephanie H. says
Clean me.
I actually have an online to-do list that let’s you repeat items, like “Clean out refrigerator” (repeat after 6 months), etc. I do big cleaning projects throughout the year, whenever it’s on my list.
jennifer says
CLEAN ME!!
I need one of these!! I always have to clean my mirrors and windows last!
Amanda says
CLEAN ME
My husband and I live in a small city apartment (in Boston, MA) – all of 650 sq-ft to be exact, but try to be slightly earth conscience and grow a “fire-escape garden” every time this year. Basically some tomatoes, cucumbers, basil, sage, cilantro, mint, and anything else we can fit on our little fire escape. But of course with a garden comes soil. In our apartment. Actually, all over our apartment (I’m a bit of a klutz). So then the ritual of cleaning our entire apartment commences which wouldn’t be so bad if we had a functioning vacuum. That would make life too easy, but we, being nice people that we are, loaned our vacuum to a friend who returned it now making more of a “grrrr” than a “whrrr”. Therefore this vacuum would be highly coveted in our little home!
Taryn says
CLEAN ME
I need that broom. Seriously.
Jennifer says
CLEAN ME! Windows are washed, starting on the garden.
Ashley says
CLEAN ME!
Open windows!
Jennifer S. says
Clean me! I washed some windows the other day and I’m continuing with the on-going and seemingly never ending process of decluttering, organizing and getting rid of junk!
joseph says
Clean me
I let the lady do the cleaning. This freebie would help out a lot. hahahaha
Heidi says
CLEAN ME!
We’ve been cleaning out closets and donating old clothes, books, and toys. Next stop: the garage!
Rachel says
CLEAN ME
We are in the process of cleaning closets and organizing drawers!
Carol says
CLEAN ME!
I haven’t started my spring cleaning just yet. Still too cold in my part of the country, but hope to start soon.
Amy says
CLEAN ME
I started washing the windows this morning. Moved into a new house last fall and it has a garden! Can’t wait to get in there and start digging in the dirt.
PS – Canada won the gold! :)
Patti says
Clean Me! Spring cleaning for me starts with opening all windows on the first warm-enough day and vacuum the house top to bottom so this will come in handy!
Katie Boggs says
“CLEAN ME!”
Love organizing and de-cluttering the closets, garage, basement storage area, drawers… you name it. Washing the windows in & out is always nice after many rainy months too…
CLEAN ME says
We could so use a vacuum that can handle the pet hair right now. It coming into shedding season and with two cats and a dog every time a sweep or vacuum I swear I have enough hair to stuff a pillow.
Anyways this year we are ripping out all of our closets and putting in IKEA PAX wardrobe systems. We are redoing the drywall around the closet opening so when we insert the PAX wardrobes into the old closet and with a bit of baseboard molding, it looks like a build in. It’s a lot of work but at this time of year it’s the only thing keeping me from shoveling my snow back into my driveway so it will melt off my lawn quicker……Yes I have the Canadian “spring is coming crazies” or what we in Canada call Igloo madness eh, LOL.
Winter I had fun sliding down you snowy curves but now I need to feel the soft grass between my toes.
davesanngel says
CLEAN ME!!!
I’m not able to get started on my spring cleaning just yet as I am still recovering from surgery, but I’m itching to get started! Can’t wait to tackle my closets and a pile of boxes in the garage – look out Goodwill!
Dona says
CLEAN ME!
Ah, spring. I’m in the process of reorganizing my arts and craft stuff (more like clutter) and figuring out ways to actually keep my closet tidy. Both tasks involve lots of purging. Deep cleaning will begin soon, hopefully with a brand new AMAZING Bissell vacuum! ;-)
Jess L. says
CLEAN ME!!!!
My husband and I are putting our house on the market soon so this year’s spring cleaning will consist of painting baseboards and pouring a driveway as well as planting some gorgeous flowers and filling in bald spots in our yard from our dogs chasing eachother around the yard. I love spring and all that it brings!
Jamie says
Clean Me! I definitely do a clean sweep of every room in the Spring!
Rachael says
CLEAN ME!!!!!!!!
We go to town our wholeapartment every single day with a lint-roller – our Golden Retriver, Charlie, leaves one giant hairball everywhere!
Amy says
CLEAN ME!
We just went through our clothes closet & got rid of all the clothes we haven’t worn in the last 6 months. It’s amazing how much extra stuff we keep in our closets without realizing it.

I guess the extra sunlight coming in the house, highlights all the dust on baseboards and on door frames. Yuck-o. Then come the windows…it’s amazing what kind of things two kids leave on the window…
Michelle says
Clean me!! I have started on the garage and next up is all of our windows.
Janna says
Clean Me! Sorting/organizing/cleaning spree in the spring-nothing like opening all the windows, cranking some music and making the house clean!
Candace says
CLEAN ME! I’ll be seed starting this week, setting up a new exercise room and renovating one of our bathrooms including plumbing, not to mention all of the sweeping and regular chores! This vac would definitely come in handy seeing as I have a lab, a pug, a pekingese and 2 cats!
Jaime B. says
CLEAN ME!
I love to purge as much as I can from the apartment. I makes things look and feel light and airy and ready for Spring. Goodwill sees us coming from miles away!
Liz says
CLEAN ME!
this weekend we cleaned the garage, next on the list windows and getting the yard ready.
iris says
CLEAN ME!!!
I went completely nuts yesterday and cleaned underneath all the sink and all of the kitchen cupboards yesterday! It took a lot longer than I thought. I am doing the office next!
Kristen J. says
CLEAN ME!!!
We have been trying to clean those “hot spot” areas where we like to pile up stuff and have an organized way to place things. It is going pretty good so far, but there is still lots of work.
Carrie says
CLEAN ME! I have been going through each room and cleaning it from top to bottom (closets, baseboards, etc.).
Katie says
CLEAN ME
We’ve been working on keeping the floors clean, so this would be perfect! Winter and spring where I live means lots of snow, salt, and sand in the winter, and mud in the spring.
Stacey says
CLEAN ME!
We are putting on an addition soon that includes lots of carpet…and we have 2 dogs! We are going to need a nice vacuum for that :)
