***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 moved into our first home in Nov 09 so we can’t wait for the weather to warm up so we can get at our yard work!
Laura says
CLEAN ME!
Our big spring cleaning project is taking the blinds down and cleaning them – not fun but needs to be done :)
City Chic - Jamie says
CLEAN ME! I totally have spring fever, even though it is still only 40, but here in MN that is WARM!! So to kick off Spring cleaning, I opened the windows and cleaned them real nice to let all the glorious sunshine in this weekend! Yay for Spring!
Lisa says
Clean Me!
Need to start thinking about spring cleaning — but it needs to get to be spring first!! We did an unbelievable amount of cleaning out/ organizing in January — it’s very cathertic! I’m anxious to get started in other areas as well. I think my office is next!
Ashlee says
Clean Me!! My husband and I have moved into a brand new house about a year ago, and I believe its time to clean the DREADED windows!!
Katherine says
CLEAN ME!
In addition to some spring cleaning around the house, I enjoy giving my car a good spring cleaning inside and out!
Amber says
CLEAN ME!
Our biggest spring cleaning project is always going through our closets. We see what we haven’t worn, what no longer fits (ugh!), or things that we’ve just fallen out of love with. We donate everything to our local charity shops–it give us a warm glowy feeling inside and makes room for new things to come into our lives!
Carrie L says
“CLEAN ME”
Sping cleaning…my forth favorite holiday!
Sarah C says
CLEAN ME!
I wish I had the spring cleaning bug, but it is woefully missing and I have not been inspired to take on any projects beyond the usual daily chores.
Elizabeth says
CLEAN ME! Spring cleaning around here means not only spiffing up the house, but also cleaning up and cleaning out the garden. Confession: I love it.
Lisa says
CLEAN ME!!! Spring cleaning means cleaning HVAC ducts, cleaning the fridge, going through closets and donating old clothes and shampooing the carpet!!! I feel so much better and the house feel so much cleaner after we do this….even though it’s usually only once a year!
Krista says
CLEAN ME! Rituals include deep-cleaning the living room and vacuuming the dust off the tops of the books on my bookshelves (because that’s easier, more effective, and much less tedious than my regular dusting methods).
Stephanie S says
CLEAN ME!
I already ordered and received my new Bissell after your recommended it, but I can always give the new one as a gift.
Brock H says
“CLEAN ME”
Emma says
“CLEAN ME!”. My husband and I are currently re-evaluating the amount of “stuff” we own and scheduling a yard sale – I’m actually excited about it :-)
Lisa Orr says
Clean Me!!
Emily H. says
Clean Me! We just started our spring cleaning yesterday, it would be nice if it could suck a little more with a new vacuum :)!
Jill M. says
Clean Me!!
Each Spring i like to clean out the closet and donate clothes to goodwill. There is nothing better then a clean closet waiting for new clothes:)
Megan says
CLEAN ME! =)
We haven’t started any Spring Cleaning yet, because we’re waiting to close Escrow on our first house and figure we can clean and remove while we pack. Generally we go through clothes, mail, copies of paid bills, etc and get rid of what we no longer use or need.
Amy says
CLEAN ME!! I need this so bad! Our shepherd mix leaves little hairballs everywhere!
Michele says
CLEAN ME!
Jen says
CLEAN ME! Oh, please! With a German Shepherd, a beagle, and a kitty, we need all the help we can get.
We’re getting our garden ready. I can’t wait!
eva says
CLEAN ME!
I purge and clean my closets out. Rearrange winter to summer clothes. It feels so good to have everything organized.
Laura D says
CLEAN ME!
Oh, I need a new vaccuum… like yesterday!
My hubby takes care of the spring cleaning outside, and I tackle the inside. Next up, scouring the toaster oven… how does it get so gross??
Beth says
CLEAN ME!!!!
OH MY GOSH!!! I’ve been going crazy with the pet hair lately. It seems like now that the dark days of winter are leaving I can see a lot more dirt and hair on the floors of my house, plus the fact that the little darlings are shedding their winter coats. Needless to say our current vacuum is not cutting it. PICK ME! :)
Shelton says
CLEAN ME! Please! Spring cleaning chore of doom: organize “second bedroom” otherwise known as the just-throw-it-in-there-and-close-the-door-quick-room. YIKES.
Veronica P says
CLEAN ME! I’d love to win this, I have 2 fuzzy dogs, hardwoods, carpet and stairs!
Spring cleaning hasn’t quite hit our house but it is about time to clean out my files and reorganize the closet at least.
Anna says
CLEAN ME!!!!!
I vacuum once a week without fail and wipe down the dust on the furniture every other week. I believe cleaning is a lifestyle and not necessarily a chore so I try to do a little everyday!
Megan says
Clean Me!
Front yard is on my list. I just planted some new flowers in my pots and it made the house look so nice. Can’t wait to do more.
Judy says
CLEAN ME!
Spring cleaning definitely involves the windows, including getting all the gunk out of the sides and between the glass and the screen.
Jenna H. says
CLEAN ME!
I love spring cleaning! I can’t wait until the weather gets nice enough to open the windows and air out the house.
We could use a good vacuum with our dogs. Especially since our corgi never stops shedding. I’m surprised that dog still has hair as much as he sheds.
Kristen says
CLEAN ME
There’s just something about opening up all the windows in the house and freshening the place up. All the fresh air just makes the house feel cleaner. :)
Katie says
Clean me!!! I’ve started “mucking out” the dog pen after a long winter… let’s just say it’s not pleasant and it will take much longer than one afternoon. A pet hair-grabbing vacuum and broom? Sounds like a dream.
Caitlin says
CLEAN ME!
Spring cleaning rituals? It’s hard enough just getting it done! >.<
Angela Wright says
CLEAN ME!
I’ve already started with winter/spring clothing swap. Up in the attic for all my bins of stored clothes.
Kathryn S. says
Clean me!
Just the other weekend I took part in my semi-yearly closet/cabinet purging. It feels so good to clean out all the stuff you don’t use or need anymore and it feels even better to pass them on to someone that does want or need them!
Sarah says
CLEAN ME!
Spring cleaning?… YES to all of the above :) I’m in school full time so in a couple weeks (Spring Break) I will attack any and all dirty things I can get my hands on. ie: the dogs, the bathrooms, the yard, the deck, the floors, bring it on, Baby!!
Michelle says
CLEAN ME
Working constantly on getting our house read for baby. And that includes cleaning out!
Jessica B says
Clean Me :)
This is the first year we will be spring cleaning with our baby girl… so my new favorite project will be going through all of the clothes she has already grown out of and packing them away for the next one!!
Jennifer says
CLEAN ME!!
I’m putting away the fall/winter wardrobe and bringing in the spring/summer stuff! Feels so good!
Amber says
Oh please, please, please CLEAN ME! Well, my next spring cleaning task is to clean up my very first apartment in DC! Looking forward to all the cleaning that will come with living in an older building. If I keep telling myself that, I might eventually convince myself :)
Stacy W. says
CLEAN ME! I’m so looking forward to cleaning out closets and organizing all the clothes of my two daughters – then maybe they’ll have room for more!
Catherine Alford says
Clean me! I am color coordinating my closet!
Lauren says
CLEAN ME!
I’m not ready for spring cleaning yet…
Raquel says
CLEAN ME!! I have slowly started my spring cleaning this year. So much to do! Junk drawers, guest rooms turned into everything room, you name it… Does the vacuum come with a Merry Maid? J/K.
Shruti says
CLEAN ME, say Zeppelin and Ringo, two adorable yet very hairy pets.
Kelly says
Clean Me!!!!! Oh Please! Literally my vacuum died a horrible painful death the other day and my house is a mess! The grit under my feet has to go…but alas I have no vacuum. I really really really hope I win, for my poor floors’ sake.
Lauren S says
CLEAN ME!!!
I have a long list… (planting flowers in the front & back, washing windows, cleaning the window treatments, etc), but none of it is started yet. Oops. :)
Katherine says
Clean Me!
Since this is my very 1st Spring as a homeowner I don’t have any spring-cleaning traditions yet, but I do deal with dog hair on a DAILY basis, so this freebie would be perfecto for me!
Megan B. says
CLEAN ME!
We finally unpacked/cleaned out two boxes that had been sitting in our bedroom since we moved into our current apartment in August. The closets and dressers are getting cleared out of clothes we haven’t worn in ages and we finally managed to rearrange our bedroom furniture (thanks to the cleaning).
