***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!

My husband and I just bought our first house, so I’ll be spending the next few months painting it, cleaning the rugs and getting it ready for his homecoming from Iraq.
Haley says

We are painting the living room and dining rooms, preparing a nursery, and doing daily doggie hair clean-ups.
sarah says
CLEAN ME!
our vacuum’s pet hair attatchment stopped working a little while ago, so we are currently in the market for a new one. Our spring cleaning will have to consist of cleaning up all the spots where the tumbleweeds made of doghair have collected.
Dana Y says
CLEAN ME!!
We bought a house last summer and are about ready financially to start doing some of our renovations. But before I allow myself to start the fun stuff… I will have the cleaning party of the century. Closets, boxes that have yet to be unpacked, all the windows, the…*gulp*…basement, AND creating an ORGANIZED home office. BOY would that vacuum cleaner come in handy for my cleaning party…just sayin’.
Justine says
CLEAN ME!
When the weather finally starts getting nicer I will be switching out sweaters,other winter clothing and boots in the closet for dresses, shorts and flip flops in storage on the porch. Can’t wait for flip flops, even though I will miss my boots.
One of the greatest giveaways yet! Much needed…

CLEAN ME!!!!!!
You have NO IDEA how bad we need it with an (almost) crawling baby and 3 fur-babies that make a lot of fur balls!!!
My spring cleaning involves storage!!! Every year I come up with a new way to get the clutter off the floor. Our house was built with VERY FEW closets and just hardly any storage at all, so I have to be very creative. Last year I was pregnant, so my spring cleaning storage involved busting a hole in the wall and making storage in wasted spaces!! I will have to say it turned out AMAZING so I have plans to do it to 2 other rooms in our house!!! Mmmm love spring cleaning!

CLEAN ME!
Did someone mention PET hair? As in PET HAIR BROOM? Sounds ready-made for this house. We have two cats and no matter how often we sweep/vacuum, little hairball tumbleweeds blow by. Yuck. Nasty. They attach to everything…including anything black that’s worn by the humans. Nothing more embarrassing to go to work with the tumbleweeds…
Spring means window cleaning time. Unfortunately, the husband doesn’t do windows. Ah well, warm weather, sunshine–it’s well worth the hassle of buckets of dirty water and vinegar, rags aplenty and the fun of a squeegie!

Our current spring cleaning project is purging and organizing our entire house to make room for our soon-to-be #4. Your closet organization challenge couldn’t have come at a better time!
Lauren Miller says
CLEAN ME!!
We’ve had beautiful weather the past couple days here in Indiana, and to start off the spring cleaning, we’ve opened up the windows and aired out our apartment! It’s so refreshing and so nice to take some deep breaths of clean air! I also love to attack the blinds in all the rooms that have collected dust during the winter… YUCK! such a good feeling to get rid of all the pesky dust bunnies!!

I look forward to swapping out my winter clothes for the summer wardrobe – and in general purging and reducing any clutter that I can.
jenny ballantyne says
CLEAN ME!!!
Your closet post inspired me (thank you) to clean out and organize our coat closet. it was strewn w/ my kids hats, boots and gloves and mittens (that i could never find the mate to!). it’s now neat and tidy! and all mittens and gloves have been reunited w/ their match!! life is good. :)
Wendy says

We are moving into our first house in less than a month and we don’t have a “house” sized vacuum!
Katharine says
Clean me!
We’re moving next month so I’m using the packing as an opportunity to purge. It feels great!
Terri says
CLEAN ME!! Right now we are in the middle of painting our bedroom and removing the carpet…Needless to say our house is a mess! Can’t wait to be finished and have our upstairs clean and organized again!
Michelle K. says
CLEAN ME!
For a spring spruce-up I used your helpful advice on how to make a faux sheepskin rug and it looks fabulous! Now I could really use that new vacuum to suck up all the stray hairs from my project :)
Raquel says
CLEAN ME! we have two dogs and one is shedding too much. Good thing our carpet is the same color as his. Just bought a new Bissell Pet Eraser two weeks ago and I need one more so I have one upstairs. I am also scheduling a professional cleaner to shampoo the carpets.
Anna A says
Clean me! Already started on the yard! Weeding, raking and sadly, already mowing…
Darci says
“Clean me”
Spring cleaning, hmmm… find out what is under the couch and beds. Really, just getting rid of stuff that I have collected throughout the year.
Lauren says
CLEAN ME! I’m going through the winter clothes and pulling out the ones it won’t get cold enough to wear again to store for most of the year, and also digging through the boxes in the garage for usable decor / stuff to sell.
Ann Schuetzle says
CLEAN ME!
We are moving in April so every closet, corner, drawer, etc. has to be cleaned and packing boxes need to be organized. It will truely be a huge SPRING CLEANING list for us. Would love to try the Bissel on our kitty fur furniture!
Heather says
Clean Me!
I’ll be combining homes with my fiance when we get married in May, so I got a lot of organizing and purging to do before then!
MalloryD says

Getting the laundry room organized to make sure I keep up with it this year.
Kristin C. says

It’s pantry and closet cleaning for me – or essentially any place that I can shove stuff, close the door, and forget about it.
Amanda says
CLEAN ME!!
For spring cleaning we tackled cleaning out our Fridge/Freezer last weekend…this weekend, the laundry room!!
crystal says
CLEAN ME!
I’m all about getting the garden ready! Cleaning out dead plants, plating bulbs, and planning new plantings!
Heather says
As a follow up to my last post, I’m not completely sure why my dad’s picture is showing! LOL. Weird…
Amanda says
CLEAN ME!!
I’ve totally been bitten by the spring cleaning bug lately – my apartment cannot get clean enough! Next week is spring break and I’m thinking I’ll be spending a lot of time working on getting the apartment sparkling clean!
Brooke Feder says
CLEAN ME!
The snow is melting here in MN. So I’m ready for spring, I’m cleaning out my drawers and donoting my old clothes to charity.
Plus, i’m getting my bike all geared up for riding to work for the spring and summer.
Kelly Gray says
CLEAN ME!!
I just had a bed made with HUGE drawers under it (perfect for storage), so we are currently going through all clothes, blankets, etc and reorgazing closets, etc.
Victoria says
CLEAN ME! My Spring cleaning usually begins with cleaning out the closets and preparing for warm-weather clothes! Those are then saved for our fall garage sale :) And this would be perfect..considering we just got a new Rhodesian Ridgeback pup to befriend our 6 yr-old Ridgeback mix. :)
jenna says

I started repainting all of the trim in our home. It’s a major undertaking but it will help brighten the home just in time for spring.
Gabe Lanas says

Linen closets get re-evaluated, reorganized and laundered.
Kay says
CLEAN ME!
I try to stay pretty organized year-round, but I do plan to clean out the shed this spring. After all the snow, I could barely open the shed door – forget putting things away nicely! I just threw the snow shovels back in and ran for the hills. I would like to tackle that space and put in a real garage type organizing system for tools, toys, and everything else.
Serena C. says
CLEAN ME!
Spring cleaning for us involves cleaning out closets, going through clothes (for all 3 of our kiddos) and emptying out the toy box!
Sarah Z says
CLEAN ME!
My husband and I just bought our first home…It was a foreclosure. We have been doing a lot of cleaning in both our new house and the one we are moving out of. We are trying to purge all of the extra stuff we’ve accumulated over the years and start fresh in our new place. I hate cleaning and it would be super awesome to have a nice new vacuum to make it much better :)
Kait says
CLEAN ME!
Still getting settled after our move so its more about organizing (and cleaning as we go) than a true spring clean.
Amy Button says
Clean Me! We live in a constant state of throwing out stuff. Our house is 1,000 sq. ft. so it’s not possible to keep stuff we don’t use. Plus the seasons are changing and it’s time to go through all the kids winter clothes, toss out what doesn’t fit and bring out the spring stuff.
amanda says
CLEAN ME!
we recently reorganized all the closets in our house. i was complaining the entire weekend about how much of a waste of time it was, but it turns out, the organization has really made things easier to find and i definitely spend less time searching. my husband was right! (for once) :)
jen F says
CLEAN ME!!!
I am dying to do some spring cleaning….cleaning the windows and screens is first on the list! Since we just moved into our new house in September (and had a baby in December) we are still in the midst of painting and decorating too!
Amara says
CLEAN ME!
Spring cleaning completed thus far: yard work/trimming back “frost bitten” plants this past Sunday, cleaned out guest room and office closets…..Still on the list: dust all blinds (yuck!), clean master closet.
Shannah says
Clean me!
Inspired by warmer weather, I started a massive spring clean out this weekend – swept up many a kitty (I mean, hidden pile of fur) and destroyed the dreams of many tiny spiders in our vaulted ceilings. :)
