***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!

I haven’t even thought about spring cleaning yet. I really need to read through the rest of the comments to get some inspiration. Ugh.
Kassie says
CLEAN ME
This weekend we started cleaning up the yard for spring gardening.
Crystal says
Clean me please – starting with the boxes which have yet to be unpacked after moving last summer……gotta get to those boxes at some point in time – although I figure if we havn’t needed it yet – will we need it now?? But the vacuum and broom will certainly help clean up the mess around the boxes!!
Catherine Herman says
Please Clean Me!! We are getting married in our home on March 20 and are in desperate need of a new vacuum. Our vacuum is pretty much broken and I’ve been doing spring cleaning in preparation for the wedding with a small hand vac!
Kate says
CLEAN ME! I love to organize and vacuuming is my favorite chore! There was lots of yard cleaning after last weeks’ winter/wind/rain storm
Holly says
CLEAN ME!!!! That’s what my carpet screems to me when I walk in. I have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and let me tell you….I have to vaccume every day. I pull enough hair out of my vaccume to knit another small dog. Oh well, every spring I like to clean my little place from top to bottom, but my biggest spring cleaning rituals are steam cleaning the carpet and washing down everything with a homemade cleaner of baking soda and lemon juice. The entire place just feels clean!
Sarah Fuller says
CLEAN ME!! I don’t have any spring cleaning rituals yet! This is my first spring owning a home (we’ve only been in it for 2 months) and I think this years project is making the house baby friendly between renovations and cat hair!
Natalia says
CLEAN ME!!!
Christina says
Clean me.
Just cleaned out our kitchen pantry!
Deanna says
CLEAN ME! This is my first spring cleaning in my new house, and picking up and vacuuming under everything is priority number one!

CLEAN ME!
Our vacuum cleaner sucks–wait, it actually DOESN’T suck, and that’s the problem! This one looks AWESOME.
Christine Vaughn says
CLEAN ME!
Washing the blinds and windows.
Crystal B says
CLEAN ME….Garage and Closets
Zenas says
CLEAN ME
My spring cleaning attempts have been thwarted by a pet rabbit who believes that brooms and mops should be attacked on sight.
Laura L. says
CLEAN ME
We just moved into our first house and could use the bissell to clean up after working on some YHL inspired projects!
Anita says
CLEAN ME! I am already cleaning out the garage and getting the bikes ready to ride. As soon as the rets of the ice is off the streets, we’ll have our vintage two seater down for a ride around town!
brea says
CLEAN ME!
It’s all about the cars! The cars get detailed…I’m talking with q-tips and Armour All. Good stuff.
Natalia says
Woops! I hit enter before I was done, sorry
CLEAN ME!!
My hubby just placed an order for this vacuum today but we’d be happy to return it!
We’re expecting our 2nd child in May and have started the purge of toddler toys from our first child!
Julie Sorensen says
Clean me! I am trying to purge things we don’t need or like anymore.
Brandi says
CLEAN ME!!!!!!!!
Blinds, hands down…
Cassandra says
CLEAN ME!! Our home is small, so every year I go through each closet, drawer & cabinet to purge the things we don’t use. It’s amazing how much more space you find when you clear out your junk!
Lena says
CLEAN ME!
Washing windows, floors, and cat paws! Our cats go outside all the time, and drag the dirt and mud back in…
molly says
CLEAN ME!
Sylvia says
CLEAN ME!!!
Spring cleaning has started around here, even though there is still much snow..:( I usually go through my 3 daughters’ closets to check out what fits, and what doesn’t goes to charity. Then, we go on a shopping spree…weeee!!! :)
Carol Terry says
CLEAN ME! Two Satuday’s ago I had a full day and a half of “Zen Cleaning” which meant that I cleaned slowly and thoroughly with no thought to time – it took a little over 8 hours but I was very happy at the end….sometimes I try to become the “Ninja Housecleaner” and get everything straightened or tossed in 15 minutes for the whole house!
Siiri says
Clean me!
Boy I have spring cleaning fever right now since I’m moving at the end of the month! I usually start going through paperwork piles first then clean out my books and get rid of clutter in general before I start scrubbing.
Muriel says
Clean Me!!
We’re trying to sell our house right now so cleaning every day is a must!!!
Chelsea says
Clean ME!
Oh house cleaning… In our current place, its a lose lose battle! We live in a dusty area (near train tracks), so cleaning is a 24/7 job!
Thanks for this blog! It gives me hope for my future home and making it mine!
Taryn says
CLEAN ME!
We started last weekend with prepping our garden for planting, mowing the lawn for the first time this year, started organizing closets, and organizing our shed as well… We have been looking for a vacuum for the past month or so – this would be a perfect giveaway for us to win!! :)
Chelsea says
CLEAN ME! We’re moving in 2 weeks so Spring Cleaning is in full force at our house. Our trash can and Goodwill pile are both full every week as I attempt to lighten the load we bring to the new house. We have a yellow lab so we’d LOVE a new vacuum and pet hair broom!
Lee Anne Jackson says
Clean me. My dog Miss Molly will thank you when I win. And as for Spring Cleaning, I donate anything in my closet that hasn’t been worn in 6 months. There are a few exceptions, like party dresses or coats. Other than that, it’s fair game. It helps to keep my closet from exploding!
Stephanie says
CLEAN ME!
For spring, we start packing up our winter clothes and bring out the spring/summer clothes. It’s a lovely reunion.
Megan says
CLEAN ME! I pretty much get in the mood to clean from the ceilings to the floors and everything in between – not to mention the numerous trips to salvation army and/or thoughts of having a yard sale!!
Rachel says
CLEAN ME!
We’ve been purging our closets, and we have three giant trash bags full of old clothes going out to Big Brother Big Sister this week.
Jesse says
CLEAN ME!!!!
Amanda says
CLEAN ME! I just bought a house (closing in a week) – it needs to be cleaned from top to bottom!!
Erin K. says
CLEAN ME! I don’t even know where to start…
Alison says
CLEAN MEEEE! (Please)
I’ve taken on some organizational tasks, but not as much cleaning. So far I’ve cleared out some space in our under-the-stairs storage space, and made room for my son’s ever-growing collection of sippy cups and snacks. :)
Megan says
CLEAN ME!!!
Kay says
CLEAN ME!
Spring cleaning means switching all things seasonal: snow shovel for the lawn mower; tuques and mitts for hats and gardening gloves; sleds for the swings on the play structure; skis and skates for bikes and scooters; and of course, going through all of our closets. And don’t forget the hours of brushing away our dog’s winter-undercoat!
Tessa says
CLEAN ME!
I’m cleaning all the glass jars that hold beans and grains.
gina says
clean me!
any cleaning i do is during my son’s nap and bedtime. usually that means little things that can be done in a short amount of time!
Sarah says
CLEAN ME!!! PLEASE!!!
Judy L says
CLEAN ME!
We’re cleaning up our spare bedroom for our new nursery.

CLEAN ME, please! I purchase Mrs. Meyers cleaning products in basil, which is heavenly! That alone motivates me to start spring cleaning!
Elizabeth says
CLEAN ME!!
i love to organize my kitchen drawers!!
Lyndy says
CLEAN ME .. we are beginning the spring clean out of leaves from all the planted beds in the yard. Now don’t get me wrong…. we have already raked them clean twice this year. But, since oak trees love to hang onto their leaves all winter, we will do it again for spring.
Cheyenne says
CLEAN ME!
Washing windows! We have four big windows of 12 panes each (ugh, panes = pains)
Megan says
PLEASE, PRETTY PLEASE…CLEAN ME!!
