***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! No spring cleaning has really been done. Basic stuff like fixing up the bathroom and the dog’s hair everywhere. A ritual is listneing to music while cleaning though. :)
Kim @ Forever Daisies says
CLEAN ME… PLEASE!
I only wish I could be getting ready for the garden. Minnesota still has way too much snow :)
Instead, I’m finding that I’m sorting, getting rid of things we do not need, and reorganizing. Closets, cupboards, under the sink… there is no safe space!
stephanie says
CLEAN ME PLEASE!!!
My fiance and I have a german shepherd and the dog hair is unbelievable!!! This vacuum could really help our problem. We were in the market for a new vacuum, but a FREE ONE is always better!!!!
Thanx,
Stephanie & Kevin
Emily says
CLEAN ME! My favorite part of spring cleaning is getting my winter clothes packed up and put away…bring on the sandals and shorts!!
Mason says
“Clean Me!” With a busy house hold of 4 and 2 of them under age 7 – spring cleaning is any time the boys are out of the house!
Laura says
CLEAN ME!
I’m currently in the process of going through stacks and stacks of papers that have accumulated in our home and dividing them into “recycle,” “shred/recycle,” and “keep” piles. Honestly, if my boyfriend didn’t make me do this every once in a while, I’d probably end up on that Hoarders program.
Whitney says

Jenn says
Clean Me!
This past weekend we started cleaning the windows and piles of randoms that have accumulated over the winter! Can’t wait for Spring. :)
June Baker says
CLEAN ME!
Xmas tree is coming down during Spring Break…I’m a teacher and work an extra job, so I don’t have any time to clean, etc. If I can tear myself away from my new Goodwill obsession and all the great decorating blogs, I just might get some real cleaning done.
Jessica says
CLEAN ME!! Every Sunday I religiously clean my pet-hair house! Including vacuuming the couches…with two cats and one dog I have my work cut out for me :)
Lindy says
CLEAN ME!
wish I had more consistent cleaning routines… As it is, I usually wait until I can’t stand it and then clean the whole house, top to bottom! Maybe having this vacuum would help! :-)
Kim says
CLEAN ME!
We are cleaning out all of our closets and cupboards
AUDREA says
CLEAN ME!!!
Laurie M. says
CLEAN ME!
I’m going to be starting to clean out all of my cabinets and closets over the next few weeks. I can’t wait!
K (BarkingBabyMama) says
CLEAN ME!
Oh, how I long for this vacuum/broom combination! Two month ago we bought a beautiful 100% wool rug (to replace our flat woven rug since we have a new baby and his head needed a softer landing place). We absolutely love it, except it sheds…constantly. Not like a little fuzz here and there, but like our furniture covered in a fine layer of wool at all times. I’m sure this super vacuum and broom combination would help shear the rug!
As for spring cleaning, I am a big fan of going drawer by drawer and closet by closet, room by room until the whole house has been cleansed of unwanted and useless junk (via donations and/or Craigslist). Last year I was pregnant and nesting – this year, I have to figure out how to do it with le bebe.
Heather says
CLEAN ME!!!
My husband and I have his/hers walk in closets and have designated that as our starting spot for spring cleaning. Hopefully we will come up with lots of stuff to donate to Salvation Army!
Sara says
Clean me!
The hubby and I will probably kick off our spring cleaning by getting our closets organized this year! It will be a big project!
Paul says
CLEAN ME!
Marlena says
Clean Me! Packing all the winter clothes and moving them to a spare closet. I don’t want to see them again til next year.
john says
Clean Me!
Calisara says
CLEAN ME!!!
Ah rituals, always purge purge purge at the beginning of each year. We do this while putting away Chrismas decorations. Otherwise the weekly cleaning ritual includes lots of music, and a sugary thank you sweet treat.
Marisa H says
CLEAN ME!!
I love going through all of the magazines and junk mail we have gathered over the past few months and organizing and recycling them!
Jenn says
Clean me!!
I’m working on organizing waaaay too much crap in a 600 sq foot apartment. Thanks ikea!
Christina K. says
CLEAN ME
Closet organization!
Steph says
Clean me
And I can’t wait to tackle the garden once all of the snow finally melts
Kristen says

Our big spring clean this year is moving into a new home in downtown Traverse City, MI. It needs some help so we have been consulting your site constantly. We’ve never taken on a project like this before so your ambition and success is inspiring.
Kathi says
Clean me and my tile floors!! The cat hair loves to just hangs out in each and every corner! :-)
Melissa M. says
Clean me!
I like to do one HUGE spring cleaning day where I clean absolutely everything floor to ceiling.
Michelle says
CLEAN ME!
Easiest to start with the car. Once all the yucky winter has been sucked out of the car and wiped down, the house doesn’t seem as intimidating and I feel inspired.
Emily says
CLEAN ME
We’re working on clearing out our “library” (spare room/office that has been the home to all of our books as well) to make it our 1-year-old (as of yesterday!) daughter’s big girl room so that her new baby sister (due June 18th) can have the nursery. It’s going slowly since we have a 1-year-old and my husband works full time and is in school for his MBA but we’re making progress!
April says
Pick me! : ) I just got a dog for my little boy and I have forgotten how much more you need to vacuum with having a dog in the house. Also, I put an offer in on a townhouse, anxiously awaiting whether I will get it or not. So MY spring cleaning would be packing up and moving to a new place!
Kimberly says
CLEAN ME!!!
Spring cleaning involves cleaning the tile grout in our whole house! I can never feel like the house is completely clean till that grout is as white as possible!!
Natasha says
Clean me!
I just cleaned out my linen/toiletry closet. Must have freed up at least 30% of the space in there!
Alexandra says
CLEAN ME!
oh dear…this year is especially fun with the spring cleaning. I’m getting married and moving out of my dads house. SO i get to clean my whole house and pack all my stuff up to move it. I get to move out of my bathroom and bedroom and deep clean it….yay!
amy says
CLEAN ME!!
I switch out all the clothes in my closet and rotate the spring/summer to the front… wash all our curtains… clean and reorganize cabinets and closets… LOVE that feeling of being clean and organized!
Katie R says
“Clean Me”
Just started spring cleaning this past weekend!
Lisa says
Clean Me!
I am decluttering the kitchen and taking out tools and utensils that I never use.
Liz says
CLEAN ME! I SOOO need this! Our vacuum is from a yard sale, and so does not suck :-)
carrie @ brick city love says
Clean me!!!
Cecily says
CLEAN ME!
Our little dustbuster is decidedly UNsucky, so I lint-rollered the hell out of my couch last weekend to remove cat hair from it!
Alexis says
CLEAN ME!!!!
Every spring I sort through my winter wear and purge the items that are no longer wearable, donate the items that I am done with, and swap them with my spring clothes that have been packed away all winter. It helps me to feel uncluttered and ready for spring!
Bill says
Clean Me!
Megan says
CLEAN ME!! Well, a new vacuum that actually has a hose would really finish off the spring cleaning that has been going on around here. I need to vacuum out my sofa desperately! Up next, the yard. I’ve declared 2010 the year of the yard. Dun,dun,duunnnnn.
Cassi says
Clean me!
We’re renovating an ENTIRE house! Needless to say, I’m studying your blog like my life depends on it.
Becky S. says
CLEAN ME!. . . please?!
Robin C. says
CLEAN ME!! I’m washing the windows and screens and cleaning up cobwebs!
Julie B. says
CLEAN ME!!!! I purge, purge, purge all the kids clothes, closets and toys! Ah, so refreshing this time of year! Feels good to Spring Clean!
Love your blog by the way! :)
Haley Y. says
Clean me!
The most spring cleaning we’re planning so far is opening all the windows to air out our apartment. We just moved in this August, so we haven’t had time to accumulate too much crud. However, we desperately need a vacuum! My little handheld shark vac isn’t cutting it any more. Thanks!
Kelly says
CLEAN ME!
I desperately need to start on my spare room that has turned into a catch-all room. I cringe every time I see the guest bed covered in empty boxes that I’m holding on to “just in case”, the incredibly huge pile of papers to shred, the vast amounts of kitty litter that get kicked out of the litter boxes every.single.day.
Maritel says
CLEAN ME!
I hope just to finally get to the bottom of my laundry hamper!
