***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!

Spring cleaning means an airing out of our home and a serious attack on dust bunnies that the cat has been cultivating under our bed.

We are getting ready to have our first garage sale since we moved into our first house. Lots of cleaning still in progress from the winter months!
Allison K says
CLEAN ME!
I haven’t started spring cleaning yet, but I usually plant flowers and vegetables in the garden, and clean out my closet as I switch over my wardrobe from winter to summer.
Lindsay B says
CLEAN ME! We will be moving soon, so my spring cleaning is a little more involved this year.
Stacey says
CLEAN ME!
This year’s spring cleaning consists of making room for baby! Will be a major purge to make some space :)
Lisa says
CLEAN ME!
This weekend I will actually be moving, so I’ve been busy packing and trying to get rid of any unnecessary items that I have accumulated.
Heidi Vandiver says
CLEAN ME!
I love spring cleaning. I do all the usual stuff…closets, floors, ceiling fans, windows…nothing out of the ordinary…but, I love when its all done and then I can go work in the garden!
Deanna Divino says
CLEAN ME! Well, we just happened to fall upon listing our home for sale at the same time we would have started spring cleaning! SO- it is SERIOUSLY clean. It’s been super inspiring too!
melissa says
CLEAN ME!!!!!
We got married this past fall and brought a lot of our collective junk together in the craziness of the wedding. Soon it will be time to purge all the old to make room for our nice new stuff!
Jen @ homeinthecountry says
CLEAN ME!
We started our house cleaning over the weekend by totally revamping our pantry shelves – my hubby even made an awesome recycling cart! I also took advantage of the warm spring weather today to clean & vacuum my car.
alison says
CLEAN ME!
Toys- we will soon go through the toys that haven’t been used in a while and donate ones in good condition. Since our little guy is currently obsessed with vacuums (he has 2 toy ones and received a real dust buster for his birthday) we’ll have plenty to give away!
Tina says
CLEAN ME!
My new kitchen cabinets are being installed tomorrow-SO I can clean out the basement where everything is stored! Double score!
Emily says
CLEAN ME
This spring we have lots of cleaning to do!! We are expecting our first baby, a little girl, at the end of May. We plan to get to all the baseboards, deep clean the carpets and rugs, and all the stuff that we tend to put off…
Sarah W J says
CLEAN ME!!!
please please please….
with a dog, two cats and dog-sitting for some extra house cash , we could SO use these!
not yet in spring cleaning mode… still trying to unpack!
but, i’m bringing car loads to the salvation army as we go- getting rid of clothes we haven’t worn in a few years, etc…
it feels SO good!
Angelica Friedman says
CLEAN ME
This is the first spring we’ll spend in our new home. We’re in the process of getting our first garden together along with setting our whole house up!
Jenny P. says
CLEAN ME! I kicked off my spring cleaning outside by cleaning out the flower beds and removing all the branches and leaves that gathered in the lawn over the winter. Next I’ll clean the gutters and, if I get really ambitious, I may powerwash the front and back porches. I love working outside in the lovely spring weather we’ve been having, especially after such a long, hard winter!
I love your blog – so inspiring! Thanks for everything!
Jessie T. says
I usually buy some form of energy drink … for the a.m. and clean like a mad woman and around 5:00 p.m. I break down and cry … from the energy drink … and my hatedred for dirt.
Tiffany says
CLEAN ME
We don’t have any spring cleaning ritual, but I feel like we’re constantly cleaning our apartment since both my husband and I are total pack rats. We could really use a good vacuum cleaner that can tackle my long hair which seems to shed everywhere!
Laura Johnson says
CLEAN ME!
As we head into Spring this year, we are actually moving into a new house (yay!). What I am most excited about purging my closet and all of the extra’s we have in the garage. While I hate packing, I love unpacking and getting rid of the stuff I don’t actually need. You would think I should do that when I am packing, but for some reason I can’t seem to let anything go when I am packing. :) Weird? Yes! :) I am happy not to have to do too much spring cleaning as the house is all sparkly clean, but I look forward adding organization!
Eric Badger says
CLEAN ME
I usually move every couple of years, so each spring I like to make sure that I am only keeping things that I need or want…the rest goes.
Paola says
CLEAN ME! :)
I already started a deep cleansing process last Saturday in the kitchen! Even behind the fridge and stove! :)
samantha says
CLEAN ME
I finally said goodbye to clothes, shoes, and linens that I’ve been holding onto for years and donated 4 trash bags of stuff. The drawer and closet space it freed up has been great. Also bought new bookshelves to supplement our old ones and organized all books in a faux “built in shelves” wall in the dining room. It dramatically changed the look of our living and dining rooms (they’re connected in a railroad apartment). They look FINISHED. It also allowed me to reconfigure the office which changed the look and feel dramatically. That room has been driving me crazy for months…now it looks twice as big!
Katie says
CLEAN ME
Oh dear do I ever need this prize. Our dog has just started her yearly shedding extravaganza and we are currently without a vacuum.
Pam Lewis says
CLEAN ME!
One of my favorite spring cleaning jobs is to clean out the jets in our jacuzzi tub…there is some NASTY stuff that gets stuck in there! Very satisfying!
Lauren F says
CLEAN ME!
I go through my closet & dresser (and beg my husband to go through his – does he REALLY need 35 tshirts? le sigh…) and purge away. I also enjoy getting up early on a saturday or sunday (just once – I’m not crazy, here) and cleaning the windows and storage areas of the house. Bonus points if it’s a sunny, warmish morning and I can open the windows and chase the stale winter air away.
Jen says
CLEAN ME
We just moved into a fixer upper 3 months ago so every day is like spring cleaning! The house interior had not even been painted since it was built in the 60s! GROSS.
Tressa says
Clean me! I’ve started cleaning out the kids’ closets. How did they accumulate so much stuff???
Laura says
CLEAN ME
I don’t have a spring cleaning ritual but I do need to clear out the clutter especially in the junk room, I mean den, so I can get the house painted.
Ann says
CLEAN ME!!
My spring cleaning is just getting underway (as are my spring allergies!) A new HEPA filter vacuum would make a world of difference.
Courtney says
CLEAN ME
Just this weekend I got the gardens ready, opened all the windows (it was warm!) and cleaned them all!
CJ Wood says
I think I do my Spring Cleaning about once a month! I am an addict for thinking less is more with everything in our house, especially because we lack a basement or garage for storage! But I look forward to it being warm enough out to air out the house from the winter months!
ashley says
CLEAN ME!
my favorite part of spring cleaning is getting all the icky buildup off of windows! clean glass is the best!
Justine Gourley says
CLEAN ME!!!!! I get my Flower pots ready go and clean all the closests of clothes and toys that we no longer use, then I head to the Salvation Army to drop it all off!
Donna says
CLEAN ME
I am constantly trying to keep from being buried in dog hair. I have a wonderful Samoyed, who loves to leave her fluffy hairs everywhere. Oh, well, we keep telling ourselves that she is worth it, and of course, she is.
Dawn says
CLEAN ME!
The majority of our spring cleaning is outside. We are getting rid of some old trees, power-raking the lawn, power-washing the siding, and get rid of the sticks and debris that accumulated over the Winter. It doesn’t sound like much but it’s a lot!
Lori says
CLEAN ME
I’m moving soon, so none of my spring cleaning rituals are happening this year. My house is so full of stacks of boxes that I couldn’t clean it if I tried. :)
Tanya says
CLEAN ME
The Kurv does a pretty good job picking up random dust bunnies. However, our current upright blows dust everywhere. This would be lovely.
Angie Lusk says
CLEAN ME!
This spring is one major cleaning party as we begin packing up our things to move to a new home. Isn’t it amazing what you accumulate in your first house together as a married couple?? The vacuum would be perfect for the task!
Julie Cohen says
Clean Me!! I cleaned off a space on a shelf in my laundry area to store my collection of pitchers. Now they’re handy to use and I know right where they are. No more digging in cabinets!
Barb says
CLEAN ME
Every spring I get the “spring itch” and try really hard to get at least one room thoroughly cleaned before the gardening starts and I want to be outside after the long winter!
Jessica U. says
CLEAN ME
Spring cleaning is year round here–living with two doggies that shed! Everywhere!
Mary-Carolyn says
CLEAN ME!
I’m getting ready to have a fridgervention and spring clean my fridge. I have other assorted cleaning projects planned, but this is the priority!
Denise says
CLEAN ME
I am definitely planning on cleaning and organizing closets. I also would love to start a garden this year.
I would love to try this pet hair broom…my golden retriever’s fur is so hard to keep up with!
amy says
CLEAN ME!
this crazy weather has prevented my thought process of actually believing spring is on the way. or at least, this is what i tell myself as i look at our awful closet clutter :)
Holly says
Clean Me!
I should be spring cleaning, but since I am four months pregnant and still sick as a dog I think I am legitimately excused from anything that involves scrubbing, dusting, de-cluttering or purging. Right? Right?
kate says
CLEAN ME!
We need a new vacuum so bad! We just found out that our new rescue pup has crazy bad allergies to dust & wool (yes, our IKEA sheepskin rug recently left our home as well) and we’ve been cleaning the house like maniacs. It’s good to have such a worthy motivation though, our house is cleaner than it’s ever been!
Stephenie says
CLEAN ME
I have started to clean up my back patio, sweeping away the dead aspen leaves that inevitably end up between the cracks of the deck and in the fire pit. The old, spent plants get cut down and mixed into the soil so that they’ll help feed the next batch of greenery that gets put in the pots..Soon I’ll be painting the grill, and fire pit black again, readying for the summer and the fire-nights to spend with Mr. Man and the kiddos. Come on summer, I’m ready for my s’mores!
Jo says
CLEAN ME
The stairs are always saying clean me with a long-haired dachsund in the house. We still have alot of snow on the ground but I am looking forward to cleaning windows to let the spring sun shine in.
Kelly B says

We are DIY’ing our basement! Cleaning, Sweeping, Vacuuming, and of course breaking out the Drylock, and painting the floors! It looks great already! So fresh with the beige color on the previous scary concrete walls. I think I might actually not be scared to go down in the basement now!
