***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
I need to clean up a pile of odds and ends that has accumulated on the floor next to the bookcase over the winter months.

CLEAN ME!!!
I’m presently not only in full spring cleaning motion, but we’re getting ready to move out soon due to a new little one to love on the way. The project of the day today? Embarrassingly enough, it has been to sort through, trash, donate, etc, all of the bags and boxes that have been piled up since we moved into this home. They’ve all been hiding away on my side of the bed, and I’m so not moving with them!!!
P.S. I could REALLY use a new vacuum. Mine. DOESN’T. suck. In the literal sense. And. that. sucks. In the figural sense.
Michelle Kersey says
CLEAN ME
Every spring I go through my closet and purge and move my clothes around. I keep my off season clothes off in a corner of my closet that isn’t easily accessible, so it will be time soon to switch it all around! I use this time to get rid of things I don’t wear. This year will be a little different because I’ll have to pull in all my maternity clothes and only clothes that will fit this summer while I’m nice and big. ;)
Jenny says
Clean me!!!

We’ve taken advantage of the nice weather this past weekend and started cleaning up the yard! We had a bad storm recently and branches were down everywhere. We’ve even cut some small trees down to open up the back yard.
Christi S. says
CLEAN ME…. hopefully, I’ll get to those closets pretty soon!
chad says
Clean me. My spring cleaning ritual is in my car.
Christina H says
CLEAN ME PLEASE!!!
I just threw out our vaccum. We tried, but couldn’t salvage it. We have both cats and dogs, ugh the fur!
Allison M says
CLEAN ME! I have a lot of houses to clean this Spring and those tools would be the bomb! My husband and I are buying a house in a new town, moving out of our current rental, and staying in another rental in the time between the rental and new home…see what I mean…lots of houses to clean. My favorite spring cleaning task is getting everything out from underneath the beds and cleaning out all the dust bunnies and dog hair tufts.
Beth Farrell says
Clean Me! I am touching up the wall paint to cover all the dings and scuff marks in the hallways.
Chelsea L says
CLEAN ME
Cleaning up the backyard!
Courtenay says
Clean Me! My spring cleaning ritual entails cleaning out my closet and donating to Good Will. If it hasn’t been worn in 6 months, it goes to someone else:-)
Leigh says
clean me. ugh…cleaning makes me mad. i’d rather let someone else do it!
Hannah J says
CLEAN ME!
I’m not catholic and so I don’t participate in Lent generally, but I read something this year about getting rid of “40 bags in 40 days”. I’m trying to get rid of at least SOMETHING every day. . .whether it’s throwing it away or donating it. It feels so good!
emma says
clean me! moving into our new house next month and a new cleaning suite would be fab! hardwood floors with 2 cats and 2 rabbits equals lots of fur… :-)
Chelsea L says
Clean Me
We’ve been cleaning up the backyard and getting ready to put up a new fence!
Chris Dunagan says
CLEAN ME
We’re hoping to be spring cleaning our old rental house as we prepare to move into a brand new (to us) fixer-upper! Yeah for younghouselove.com!
Debby S. says
CLEAN ME
Every spring and actually many times a year, I clean closets and drawers. It always amazes me at how much junk can be accumulated in just a few months. It makes me feel good to know that a drawer or closet is all nice and neat again.
Emily says
CLEAN ME
I plan on having friends over for a closet yard sale, maybe some home decorating things as well!
Chelsea L says
Clean Me
Going to be going through our closets and donating all the clothes we don’t wear anymore or never wore to begin with!
Laura says
CLEAN ME
The vacuum cleaner I have now is terrible!! I would love a new one to help me deal with the massive amount of hair our golden retriever is shedding. The nice weather today motivated me to wash the windows, and wipe down the walls with Murphy’s Oil Soap. Hopefully this week I may also pack away my heaviest sweaters and bring out some spring clothes. I think I have spring fever…
Sara Wieland says
CLEAN ME
I like to air out the house, deep-clean rugs, wash windows, and scrub floors and baseboards on hands and knees.
Chelsea L says
CLEAN ME
Time to clean up the yard and get ready for pool parties this summer!

Sean says
clean me! please pick me…. i just cleaned out my desk and shredded 5 years worth of old papers… 4 garbage bags full! sure could have used that vacuum to pick up all the stray bits all over the floor…
Carla says
Clean me!
We are about to clean the house!
Erin says
CLEAN ME
I have a home office that is just out of control, the paper’s been piling up all winter. Now that the days are longer, I want to spend my time outside, but this office has to be tackled first!
Wendy says
Clean Me!
I wished I cleaned more. I am an awful housekeeper.
Jannell says
CLEAN ME!
This spring we’re finishing up a huge reno project (*fingers crossed*) so hopefully the “big spring clean” will be wiping off all the construction dust and doing all the finishing touches. One can only dream…
Katie says
CLEAN ME
Our spring cleaning this year will be different (and far more exciting) than any year’s spring cleaning has ever been for us. This month we’re moving out of our crumby apartment and into our very own first home! So spring cleaning will entail much bigger projects than just washing the blinds on the windows or shaking out the area rugs. One of our first big projects will be coming up with organized systems for our closets – something I know nothing about yet. Glad to see it’s something you’re working on as well!
Amy G. says
CLEAN ME! I haven’t started spring cleaning yet but I have started a trick this year to cut down on clutter. Every time I buy a new non-essential item, I donate or repurpose something I already own. This helps me keep down on clutter and I really have to think about anything I want to buy.
Stacie Williams says
CLEAN ME!!!!
I am putting on my best dress and joining you guys at the closet cleaning party!! My bedroom closet needs to be purged, sorted and re-arranged! Not looking forward to it *sigh* but I gotta do it! =)
Love your blog. Thanks for the inspiration!
Rachel J says
CLEAN ME
Working on closets and waiting for it to be warm enough to reorganize the garage & garden shed. Already started cleaning out the landscaping/flower beds in hopes to finish the side & backside of our house this year.
I don’t know what I want more- the cool vacuum or the pet broom!
Donna says
CLEAN ME!
I am collecting from all closets to add to the fall/winter collection from all closets, currently stored in the garage in anticipation of the neighborhood garade sale in May. It will be nice to get two cars in the garage again!
Yvonne says
Let’s start off right away and say “CLEAN ME” and let me tell you that right now I am taking down all of my curtains, cleaning my windows, washing the curtains and putting them back up. This is a huge job!
Thanks for working out this fabulous giveaway.

Pam Wright says
Clean me!!!!!! My new spring ritual will be to clean out the detritus and unneeded stuff that I’ve collected over 27 years of teaching special education. You wouldn’t believe the stuff that I have to sort through, file, fix, rehome or toss. I’m currently working with preschoolers with special needs. Let’s just say the carpets, rugs, and tile floors are littered with bits of paper, broken crayons, crushed goldfish crackers and unidentifiable things at the end of the school day. A clean classroom is a happy classroom. I would love to have this fabulous vacuum to keep my room clean and dust and dirt free!
Amy says
CLEAN ME!!!!
I’m in full spring cleaning mode. But the biggest project has been tackling the basement/laundry room! =)
Christina says
CLEAN ME!!!
I think this year’s task is going to be the closets since my husband and I both have our clothes spread in three different closets! Yikes!
cait says
CLEAN ME!
Cleaned and organized our unfinished basement yesterday…swept up the dust and dirt that had accumulated since the warmer months. Whew…love checking that off the to-do list. I am loving that broom! I may have to get one myself even if I don’t win…:)
Erin says
CLEAN ME
My spring cleaning “to do” is to go through my closets and sort items into piles: keep, think about it, and trash/donate. Anything that I need to think about for too long ends up getting trashed/donated.
AmandaL says
CLEAN ME!
I’m going to clean out all the kitchen cabinets very soon – I haven’t taken *everything* out and cleaned since I moved in 8 years ago, and they’re a bit dusty. I’d also like to add some organization… my “plastics” and “pots/pans” cabinet are just a little more cluttered than I’d like!
Sonya says
CLEAN ME! Raking Ms. Fluff when she begins to develop dread locks after a winter spent in her wooly mammoth outfit is a seasonal spring activity in our house. That pet hair broom could really come in handy…
Abby says
CLEAN ME!
My husband is a Chemistry grad student who has amassed a ridiculous amount of journals and print articles. They’re stashed in every corner of our home. I’m in the process of convincing him to file the ones he still needs and toss the rest!
Sean R says
Clean me!
katie says
CLEAN ME!!
In between planning our June wedding/move (busy busy busy) we’re trying to get some spring cleaning done to ease the packing process. I’ve packed up two bags of old clothes. But our biggest annual ritual is airing out the house after a cold winter holed up in illinois! we’re doing one room at a time because it’s not quite warm enough outside here yet, but our room is smelling like fresh clean air (not the bottled/candle variety) and that’s enough to get spring-fever flowing!!!
stacy says
CLEAN ME!
this spring i will once and for all get rid of those obnoxious dust bunnies…hopefully with the help of a new BISSELL! :)
