***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 started my seedlings for my container garden in early January and have been enjoying watching them grow. Spring is also time when I’m getting ready to clean out the closet and get things ready for Goodwill and a garage sale. The weather has been beautiful and putting me in the mood for Spring!
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!

CLEAN ME
I honestly don’t have enough spring cleaning rituals – and my house shows. The only thing I do consistently every spring is go through my kids’ clothes and sort out what they’ve outgrown, what can be handed down to the next child, what can be donated, etc. I’m already behind on this one and need to jump on it.
Danielle @ Transforming Home says
CLEAN ME!
I am busy cleaning everything out and throwing away/donating items. Closets, baskets, cabinets – you name it! I have already purged 10 bags – hopefully I will have another 10 by the end of the week!

CLEAN ME!!
Just tonight I’ve been browsing heirloom vegetable seeds online. Spring has temporarily arrived here (though we will get another dumping of snow) and I can see the frames of my raised garden beds peeking above the snow. Garden planning is imminent! Inside, the windows do need to be washed and the house needs a general-yet-thorough cleaning. I plan to go room by room (and NOT get distracted. Squirrel!!) until each one is deep cleaned. The thought of doing it does NOT appeal to me but I can just imagine the feeling AFTER it’s done.
Susan M. says
CLEAN ME! Spring cleaning is in full force around here. Cleaning out the kids’ clothes and toys. Trying to organize the kitchen and closets. So much to do and so little time! :)
Sayward says
CLEAN ME!
I move all the furniture and appliances and vacuum/dust
Joanne says
oops CLEAN ME!! I forgot the two most important words in my little speel of my cleaning project above..I’m Joanne (from Canada)
Jessica says
CLEAN ME!!!
As the mother of two cats and a dog (all rescues) we need this big time! Our old house and wood floors and crazy pets are dirt and dust and hair machines. Hope that I win!!! I am starting some spring cleaning as I’m finishing a few plaster renovations at the house…
Laura says
CLEAN ME!
Just washed the baseboards and all the door frames…so simple but what an improvement.
Jennette Wikel says
Clean Me please!!
So we are getting ready to wash some windows, plant some flowers – thats my job, and seal up some leaks in the foundation (re-doing our basement which has a leak, we finally found it!!)
I started to wash the windows this weekend, but was too exhausted to finish after working on our house all weekend.
….and by the way, our vacuum died on us about 5 months ago, and have been “borrowing” our parents because we refuse to buy the kind we had before, and just havent laid our eyes on one that would suck up all the pet hair from our two little – and by little – i mean 50 lb and 70 lb – doggies!!
Laura T says
Clean Me!
We’ve already started the cleaning out of our basement. Yard sale here we come!
shae says
CLEAN ME
Julie says
Clean me, please!
I’ve already started to clear out my closet (partially thanks to you guys!) and will certainly be cleaning the windows to let that sun shine in! I’m also getting ready for our semi-annual (or so) Salvation Army donation.
Do I get an extra point for having the second-best hockey team’s goalie, and the Olympic MVP, on my hometown team??
Courtney says
CLEAN ME!
Our vacuum feels like it weighs 50lbs!
Jeanne says
CLEAN ME!!!
I like to go through my closets and donate all of the things I haven’t worn/used for awhile.
Michelle says
CLEAN ME!
MOVING all of the furniture and cleaning away. No fun…but would be more fun with the vacuum! :P
Molly says
CLEAN ME!
Our spring cleaning started this past Saturday as we cleaned and disinfected our entire house, top to bottom, thanks to a nasty stomach virus that hit our entire family w/n a 40 hour period. And, did I mention, our kids are 5, 3 and 2? It was wicked.
Adrienne says
CLEAN ME!!
My husband and I are in big time cleaning mode…. we’re getting ready for our first baby who is due in early August! We could use the vacuum as our current one is a hand-me-down of a hand-me-down, circa 1970’s. Although I appreciate vintage, we need something to keep up with our expanding family.
Emma N says
CLEAN ME!
I’ve started a ritual (just last week actually) which hopefully will keep the house spick and span for a long long time. I clean a different room of the house each day, on a 2 week rotation (with laundry also in the mix).
Week 1:
Monday: upstairs bathroom
Tuesday: laundry
Wednesday: Kitchen
Thursday: more laundry
Friday: Office
Saturday: Bedroom
Week 2:
Monday: downstairs bathroom
Tuesday: Laundry
Wednesday: Living/Dining room
Thursday: more laundry
Friday: Studio
Saturday: Bedroom (again)
Sundays are off! Worked well last week, let’s see if I can keep it up!
Coleman says
CLEAN ME POR FAVOR!!!
hmmmm… does pulling up carpet and refinishing hardwood floors count as spring cleaning?? And getting new windows so I don’t have to clean my old ones.. haha. That probably doesn’t count…. I will definitely be going through the closets and throwing out the unnecessaries/haven’t been used in the past two years, etc. Plus going around and giving my shining new hardwood floors and baseboards a thorough scrub, to pick up the chocolate lab hairs and such gathering in the corners :)
Jamie Cook says
CLEAN ME!
This week i scrubbed all my white kitchen cupboards. They definitely needed it!

This year is the big year for landscaping and cleaning up the outside of our house. It’s still too cold in Wisconsin – there is still snow on the ground – but we’re looking forward to it this spring!
Charity Baillio says
clean me! i need some spring cleaning rituals. maybe i can read these comments and get some ideas. :)
Christina Tenuta says
CLEAN ME!
My husband I have been living in Brooklyn, in the same one bedroom apt, for a long time and the place is in need of some serious vacuuming! Since you guys used to live in NY, you can understand how daunting and overwhelming it can be to go out and buy something so large and shlep in back on the subway! This spring, we will both be graduating from school and hosting our families from for a visit – you can imagine how we have to get down and dirty with the cleaning in anticipation of their visit. Plus, we’d like to clean out the old to make room for the new, after graduation. This would be the perfect spring-cleaning-graduation-prize! Thanks so much for the amazing blog!
Megan says
Clean Me!
I could really use this!
Alex and Matt Bartlett says
CLEAN ME
Not only does our huge yellow lab make a mess but we just started renovating our old kitchen. This makes for quiet the mess around the house. We have been following your projects and love what you have done with your house. Great job and such an inspiration to other newlyweds in their first house.
Jill says
CLEAN ME! I just cleaned out the mudroom this weekend. It’s where bugs and lint go to die so that was a big job. Now it’s sparkly clean and less full of junk. Yay!
Sara says
CLEAN ME!
The garage! I like to take everything out, clean the garage floor, windows, lights, you name it! And move everything back in nice and orderly. Much better!
Makayla says
Clean Me!
I need help cleaning up my hair off the floor. Just had a baby and now it is falling out like crazy.
Sarah Sparhawk says
CLEAN ME!!! We just moved into a “new” fixer-upper and believe me it puts the “dirt” in dirty!!! HOLY MOLY what a mess!!! There hasn’t been a vaacum to be found in our house in at least 15 months! Needless to say we could sure use a brand spankin new Bissell!! My Spring cleaning this year will involve scouring every square inch of this dust/cob-web infested mess!!!
Stephenie says
CLEAN ME! My husband is refinishing our stairs. Anyone who has ever sanded anything in their house knows that the dust lingers around for weeks.
Jenna says
CLEAN ME!
I will be cleaning my closets – they’re horrible and scary!
Kim G says
CLEAN ME! Donate clothes that I haven’t worn in a while is definitely on my list.
Dawn says
Clean me!
We are cleaning out closets/basements/cabinets/ anything else we can to get ourselves ready for our neighborhood garage sale!
Christina says
CLEAN ME
Definitely cleaning windows! They are always so gross after the winter and its a good excuse to have the windows open! Also with a new house with a garden, getting that ready will be a new one!
marilu says
CLEAN ME!
I’ve started going thru the warm season clothing, but that’s it for now.
