***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!
There are so many rituals I have when Spring Cleaning rolls around. My favorite involves dusting every nook and crany of the house, as my favorite cleaning partner, my Labrador Reese, follows me around sucking up any dust that I miss. He’s a great vaccuum, but I am totally in the mood for a new (real) one!
Hilary says
CLEAN MEEEE!!!! Oh help! After your vacuum post I actually wrote down what you bought so I could replace my husbands ancient, bachelor’s life vacuum. I’m drowning in pet hair and boy dirt and have given up spring cleaning in favor of constant efforts to remove piles of fur/dirt from our hardwoods (These efforts fail when our vacuum throws the dirt at my feet instead).
Kristin says
CLEAN ME!
This is our very first Spring in our apartment and as a married couple! Our vacuum cleaner is, uh, less than stellar and seems to be overwhelmed by the amount of shedding I do (yeah, me). It’s on its last legs and this giveaway couldn’t have come at a better time!
Even though we don’t have pets, maybe that broom would come in handy after all. :)
tracy jones says
CLEAN ME
Vacuuming and scrubbing the bunny cage, plus moving it to clear out the pile of hay, is one much needed task in the Jones house this spring. I could really use that pet broom with our 3 guinea pigs and 2 rabbits!
Rosemary M. says
CLEAN ME!
Due to our limited closet space it’s time to move our heavy winter items into our Space Bags and remove our light and happy spring/summer clothes from last year’s Space Bags! I love the beautiful weather that seems to be around the corner so it’s sort of a fun way to welcome the warm days (even if it is alot of work to vacuum pack and store our heavy winter clothing). I would use the new vacuum for this chore first and then it would be put to work in our fully carpeted apartment! It would be nice not to inhale the dust that comes out of our $30 Hoover vacuum that doesn’t seem to keep the dust inside very well. :)
Emily says
CLEAN ME!! :)
Every spring I start with my closet and donate anything that hasn’t been worn in the past year. Then I move onto the basement, garage, etc! We just got a puppy so this vac would be great!
Jennifer says
CLEAN ME!
Two giant boxes to Goodwill. Check. Yard work complete with tree and shrub trimming. Check. Might I mention how I loathe yard work…
Katie Johnson says
CLEAN ME! The cat hair is everywhere and I need help!!
Amelia says
CLEAN ME! My old $40 vacuum is about to die of hairballs (sadly, mine). Right now I’m all about cleaning my closets, too! I have so many clothes I need to get rid of.
Alexis says
CLEAN ME! I am reorganizing all closets, drawers, and cupboards … methodically so it’s not overwhelming and so that junk isn’t relocated from closet A to drawer B. Wish me luck!
Amy says
CLEAN ME!
Constant upkeep with the fur! And cleaning the closets!! Shopping for a new vac!
Megan says
CLEAN ME!
I plan on pulling weeds in the garden this weekend!
Chrissy says
CLEAN ME!
I’m cleaning up my relationship.
Angela says
CLEAN ME!
Spring cleaning will start soon with vacuuming those refrigerator coils and cleaning out the dryer tube thingy.
caitlin says
CLEAN ME!
well since everyone was stuck in the house for a month due to snow, we’ve started getting rid of things we don’t use much, making a little chalkboard message center in the house, figuring out better storage as we acquire a new roommate… etc :)
Katrina says
CLEAN ME!!!
This is our first spring in our first house, so spring cleaning has a whole new meaning for us this year! Our biggest task will def be landscaping – since this is our first chance to even get at our yard, we have a lot of work to do.
Jessica W says
CLEAN ME :)
I’ve been working on getting all of our rugs completely cleaned (vacuumed and washed), but some of them need a good scrub (have to borrow the parents’ shampooer!).
Our yard is overflowing with weeds after all the rain we’ve had in the past month, so those need to get yanked, and the rest of the yard needs tended to as well.
Keeping our floors clean is such a chore, mainly because our current vac doesn’t really have a ‘wood’ floor option, meaning I have to crawl around on the floor to get all the floating pet hair from our cat and rabbits. Maybe that broom would be the solution though. :)
Lauren says
CLEAN ME! I’ve been spring cleaning since about Christmas, b/c I am having my first child TOMORROW! Yes, tomorrow. Sort of freaking out. My other child is a golden retriever, so we live to vacuum. Now with a little one on the way, we will be even more neurotic about vacumming. We love Bissels, and I’d love to try this one out! My favorite spring cleaning ritual is working out in the yard! I love the anticipation of waiting for my bulbs to bloom!
Steve says
CLEAN ME!
Cleaning out closets already…
Lauren Hartnett says
CLEAN ME!
I just redid our walk-in closet so now we can actually walk in our closet. I organized all my scarves & bags and donated unused furniture we had previously stuffed in there.
Jeannette says
CLEAN ME!
I’ve been totally thinking about getting one of these! I’ve been spring cleaning all over my house this weekend, would be easier with a vacuum though…
Wehaf says
CLEAN ME! The biggest deal here is to clean all the windows, inside and out – it makes such a difference to see the spring sun shine in!
Chelsy says
CLEAN ME
oh boy do I want this! I have already cleaned the whole house!
Erica says
CLEAN ME!
I’m starting by training my husband to put his shoes away and not leave them around the house :o)
We have 2 very furry pets and this vacuum would make out lives so much easier!
Lauren says
CLEAN ME!
We are putting our house up for sale in three weeks, I have an 8 month old son and a 5 year old golden. Enough said!
Julia says
CLEAN ME!!!
This would be perfect for my house–with 2 dogs who shed like crazy I am sweeping up enough dog hair to build another dog daily!
I haven’t really started thinking about spring cleaning yet. My husband and I bought our house in Sept so we are starting to think of spring projects like painting. We went to Lowes and Home Depot this past weekend and picked up a bunch of paint swatches for the living room and kitchen. So that’s what I will be doing this spring!
Kristi Rediske says
Clean Me! I am starting spring cleaning by putting our house up for sale and maybe moving-sooo-I will need the vacuum to help me in the house thats for sale and the new house-its forced spring cleaning-HA! We have worked hard remodeling the house we want to move to-its a downsize deal because our kids have grown and are not living with us anymore-bittersweet-Love the old house! Thanks for the chance at the giveaway.
Sarah says
CLEAN ME
I am definitely in the “get rid of things I’m not wearing or using” phase right now. How have I acquired so much stuff? I’ll never know …
Margaret D says
CLEAN ME!
I just started making my spring cleaning list. I’ve started off just with organizing paper work since it’s not quite spring yet, lol! Either one of these fabs giveaways would come in handy :) I hate dust and dust bunnies and now that it’s going to be lighter out longer I will see them with more sun light coming in the house. My closet is next after all the paper work is done, time to get rid of stuff!
lisa phil says
“CLEAN ME”
Hubby and I sort through our summer/winter wardrobes and donate the old/non fitting clothes. We’ll clean out all closets and wiping down shelves. Change winter bedding to light-weight comforters. Clean sweep the car!! Sort through our filing of bills and shred the old.
Julie says
CLEAN ME!!
I just moved and so its time to clean everything and throw anything away I haven’t seen in years!
Jenn M says
CLEAN ME!
There is nothing better than clean windows to let that new spring light in! Reorganizing closets is also a must, putting away the heavy dark coats and bringing out the colors for spring and summer!
Sarah says
Clean me! I plan on working on reorganizing drawers, cabinets, closets, and the pantry to start. You can accumulate so much junk in such small spaces!
sue olson says
Clean Me!!
I am also purging closets and getting out the spring clothes and packing away the winter clothes.
Lesley says
CLEAN ME!
Now that temps are rising I’ve begun thinking about tons of house projects I’d like to get done…replacing our old, cracked wood front door with a new one, washing our windows and maybe even deep-cleaning our carpets.
Lana Morisoli says
Clean Me! Well I have been traveling in my car for a year, so all my things have been in storage. This month I have decided to relocate to Seattle, so I get to spring clean my storage unit in Southern CA and it will be like Christmas! I can’t wait to see all my old stuff:)
erin g says
Clean me!
got to get the garden ready, planting starts early in the south!
Meghan B says
CLEAN ME!
Leann says
CLEAN ME!!
I started my spring cleaning in our new place this weekend when the temps snuck above the 50 degree mark. I opened all of the windows and let in the sunshine and fresh air. That, plus washing all of our bedding and starting the transition to lighter weights has already made it feel like spring in our house. Now, if I could just motivate myself to do the windows…
Erin says
CLEAN ME! This fall we welcome our first baby, so this spring we’re purging closets and organizing those “file me” piles so that our lil’ pumpkin has a space of his or her own!
Jillbinmd says
CLEAN ME! my one big chore during spring cleaning is ceiling fans. we only have two in the house and im sure they deserve a big cleaning more than once a year, but they are gross and im lazy about climbing up on a chair to get to those blades.
Jordan says
Clean me!
We tear our closets apart at least once a quarter, and donate to the local truck that comes around.
Dee in BC says
Clean me!- Hey just look at my email-Pet hair- boy do we have pet hair!!! Right now in addition to doing extra grooming ( to try to get the pet hair before it floats around the house) I’m trying to purge, clean & organise my way though the house hold drawers/ cupboards/ closets. -Dee
Daneile B. says
CLEAN ME!
With a dog and a cat this vacuum sure would come in handy. My husband and I are in the process of moving out of the first home we bought together so our cleaning is pretty much done until we get to the new place. Then the deep cleaning gets to start all over.
Jenni says
CLEAN ME!
Our spring cleaning this year includes purging an entire room to make way for our nursery! And cleaning up all the hair from our basset lab who sheds like crazy…
Holly says
CLEAN ME!
You have no idea how much my fiance would LOVE it if we won this. We don’t have pets but we want a cat and our apt is all hardwood floors. My spring cleaning ritual is the closet to change out my fall/winter/sweaters to my summer/spring clothes. Such a task when you have a small closet!
KAREN REEVES says
ALWAYS HAVE TO START WITH THE CLOSETS!!!!:(:((
Suzanne says
CLEAN ME! My Spring cleaning this year will include getting everything ready for the birth of our first child this summer. What great motivation to simply and organize! :)
Tamara says
CLEAN ME!
I need both of these items! Our vaccuum just broke, and, I swear, I sweep about 5 times a day and still cannot keep up with the dog hair situation. Good thing our sweet girl is worth it!
Spring cleaning means taking all furniture out of the living room, rolling up the rug, and cleaning all those corners and spots that never get cleaned. So satisfying!
Katie says
Clean Me! We live in a very damp location, so the first day that it’s sunny and not windy we open all the doors and windows to air out the stale winter air. Even if the temp. is 45 degrees or lower, we just need to get fresh air in the house. Just doing that gets us ready for the not so fun part of spring cleaning.
