Fab Freebie: This Giveaway Sucks

***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?

Bissell Cleanview

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.

Bissell Pet Broom2

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”
    I take each room one at a time and clean out stuff that we don’t use/need/want. I then take it to the goodwill or trash can. I spring clean the kids rooms and play room about every 3 months. Toys seem to explode after birthdays and Christmas time.

    CLEAN ME! My spring cleaning is going to start by cleaning out and organizing my pantry and then tackling the hall closet. I can’t wait to be able to put away the winter boots, gloves, and hats!

    Oooooooo! Who knew there was such a thing as a pet hair broom! Speaking of pet hair and spring cleaning, one of my seasonal rituals is to clean allllll of the foot boards and trim in the house. CLEAN ME! AND new this Spring, I’m growing my own organic veggie garden.

    I totally LOVE my dogs, yes 2, golden retrievers! Hair all over the house galore!!!!! I clean and clean and it is back the next day. I try to get them to brush themselves but they just don’t listen…. I am on my second vacuum and still haven’t had the best luck in the world keeping it totally picked up. Boy how I would love to have a vacuum and broom that would do the job. I usually do a fall and spring deep clean of the house which will probably be within the next two weeks. I also will be re-arranging my closet and the two downstairs as we have accumulated more stuff recently from family that has passed. We are looking to get our house back into gear so we can go out and play out side this spring and summer. Now only if I can keep Ellie (one of our Golden’s) from pushing her nose on all of my newly washed windows…. I tell ya.. Kids. :) Marnie

    Clean me! I know it’s spring when I can finally but away the big bulky sweaters and bring out the tank top and shorts! I usually store off-season clothes in the garage, so when it’s finally time to bring it back in, it’s like getting a whole new wardrobe!

    Well everyone comes out of the wood work for a giveaway. This is a major need right now, we have two vacuums and they are terrible with a capital T.

    This is our first house and I am thrilled to start some spring cleaning rituals! I think I’m dying to get outside and tackle the yardwork.

    I get ready for Spring by cleaning each wooden blind on all our windows with warm soapy water. I also “dust” the walls with a wet washcloth as they get a nice coating of winter grime on them as well! It feels so good to stand back and appreciate the freshness of a deeply cleaned home!
