***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 have been searching for a new vacuum b/c of all the cat hair that accumulates. These items would be super helpful!
Caroline says
CLEAN ME!
Whoa! Lots o’ comments on this one!! This should prove w/out a doubt to Bissell that this site is a worthwhile advertising investment!
Spring cleaning in my apt = cleaning out & organizing all the cupboards…. and possibly shelf paper!
Alison says
CLEAN ME!
Everything needs a spring clean…sigh.
Karyn says
CLEAN ME!
For me, spring cleaning mostly involves cleaning out my closet and dresser-drawers to get rid of clothes I haven’t, won’t and don’t wear anymore. I give them away to charities that need them.
Also, hopefully this spring will see my boyfriend and I moving in together, which means I’ll have to move all my stuff out of where I am now, which means thoroughly cleaning everything. I’m not a cleaning-loving person, but I’m really looking forward to this!
Kelly C. says
CLEAN ME!!!
Spring cleaning rituals?? Ha, I just move… We never seem to stay in one house long enough to clean it, so I have it cleaned as we are moving out! I hope that changes soon… ; )
Elicia says
CLEAN ME!
I have already done deep-dusting, and this year i want to clean inside my baseboard heaters! (yuck) This year i am also trying to keep it Greener, and have already made my own febreeze!
Love the blog!
montanna says
Clean Me!
I’ve never done spring cleaning before! I’m a new mom and a new fiance and am still learning how to do it all! But, my goals for spring is to get our back yard ‘forrest’ into a back yard again in time for my son’s august birthday, get a lovely garden going and get all of those icky areas you forget about! Baseboards and air vents!!!
Jeff says
CLEAN ME!
All of my clothes may be clean, but it’s about time they get folded..
NikKidd says
CLEAN ME!
I know it’s not quite the same – but my hair seems to get everywhere so that broom might just be PERFECT for me! Plus, I’ve been looking for a new vaccuum, and was thinking of the Roomba… but I can definitely be persuaded otherwise.
nina says
CLEAN ME!
I go, room a day, cleaning drawers and cabinets.I try to buy a new item or two for each room to motivate me to get to that room. I usually procrastinate yardwork until summer.
Mark says
“CLEAN ME”
We are cleaning out and organizing our basement. Currently there are tools, chairs, paint cans etc. everywhere. It’s gonna take a minute but so well worth it. Happy Spring Cleaning everyone!
Caryn says
CLEAN ME!!!
Spring cleaning well underway at our humble abode…however since my upright vacuum has all but gone kaput on us, I’m relying on my hand held for the small jobs. So far I’ve even started a small container garden too! Oh and thanks for the DIY on the compost bin…I made mine this afternoon =]
Natalie says
CLEAN ME…
Great giveaway! Our rituals consist of moving all of the furniture away from the walls, vacuuming/sweeping every surface of our home, and cleaning all of the baseboards. It’s back-breaking work but it really pays off!
Meg says
CLEAN ME!!
A major overhaul on the basement is our next project. We’re going to install lots of shelving, and have a spot for all our ‘extras’ and seasonal stuff. Can’t wait!
Jojo says
CLEAN ME!!!
Amy says
“CLEAN ME” I need this – My vacuumed just broke. I was vacuuming my stairs and dust and dirt flew everywhere! My spring cleaning habits always start with organizing the kitchen – I clean out the pantry, straighten the dishes, and the dreaded Tupperware shelf.
Tae says
CLEAN ME!
I’m doing digital spring cleaning — it’s so nice to delete emails from your inbox!
Joanna says
CLEAN ME! I’m busy tossing out/ giving away clothes that are worn out, age-inappropriate, or will never fit again. Now if only I could convince my husband to do the same…
Julie says
CLEAN ME!! I can’t wait to clean out all our closets and our storage shed! Bring on the spring cleaning!
Jennifer says
CLEAN ME
I usually spring clean closets out while the b/f will ready the outdoors for plants. :)
Joshua says
CLEAN ME!
I am working down the windows to start! Inside, outside, blinds, sills, leavers cranks and tracks! Squeaky clean and silent as a mouse: that’s how I like my windows.
lindsay says
CLEAN ME
we just remodeled our kitchen, so the house is a complete disaster. so needless to say we are cleaning the WHOLE house bc of all the dust from the construction.
Emily Shoup says
CLEAN ME! I am in the sneeze inducing process of dusting all the blinds and fans (before my two-year-old can turn them on!) that got SO dusty from being closed in with us all winter! Not fun times.
Steny says
Great opinion about freebie.You have great post with enjoyable writing style. Nice to visit your blog. Thanks for sharing your opinion
sheyenne says
Clean Me! I’ve started the annual Spring Closet purge! I don’t know how I accumulate so many clothes in just one year’s time but it sure does feel good to have a “ligther” closet going into the new season!
Jennifer says
CLEAN ME!
I just went through and deep cleaned my kitchen using all-natural products. Smelled like lemons for days!!!
Darcy De Leon says
CLEAN ME! We so need a good vacuum that doesn’t blow dirt out!
Here at our house, my children and I began a little spring cleaning in their rooms today. We started in one corner of each room, then created three piles: keep, trash, give-away.
Most of the stuff was old artwork (trash pile and keep for display), toys (keep pile and give-away) and clothes (give away and dirty clothes basket).
It felt good to have their rooms neat and organized with lots of room for them to play.
Quynh says
CLEAN ME!
I always start my spring cleaning by clearing out the medicine cabinet and my closet first.
Melissa McIntosh says
CLEAN ME!! We’re getting married in 10 days and I’m throwing away the old to make room for the new. The vaccum cleaner and broom (which I just added to my registry! Awesome!) would really help with our two hairy pups.
Laura Durrer says
CLEAN ME!
I like to make a list of all the little spaces in my house that need help. Night stand drawer, silver wear drawer, laundry room cabinets (sometimes i’ll list those one by one)…..that way if I have a spare 15 – 30 minutes or, gasp, a couple hours of “free time” in-between taking one of three kids to school or activities, I can tackle one thing at a time…..AND check it off! Although I have to admit, I do enjoy those days where you stay in your jammies all day on a mission to clean one closet that turns into cleaning every closet at the same time! And then someone delivers a package or something and i’ve got the CrAzY hair going on and they’re all like…oooh, sorry for your state of appearance. Yah. I like those days :-)
Erika F says
CLEAN ME! I am spring cleaning my kitchen pantry! I can finally see what I have and it makes it more fun to cook when you know where everything is! Cheers!
kelly mcnichol says
CLEAN ME!! I have 2 little dogs and 2 big cats…cleaning is my life! hahaha It’s kind of like having kids who don’t pick up after themselves…always expecting me to…HA!
I love the whole ritual of spring cleaning…I always feel so good after. Here are some of the things I do to freshen it up: Clean (really clean) baseboards and corners – floor to ceiling. I usually give doors (inside) a fresh wash or coat of paint if too marked up or smudged..it is fast, dries fast and is easy. I like to take screens off and give them a once over with a sponge and a hose and soapy water. I vacuum out the sliding glass door tracks and then wd-40 or graphite them so they run smooth. Oh yes, I know how to have party!
Piper says
CLEAN ME! After a colder-than-usual winter here in Texas, a few gorgeous days in the high 60s made me jump right in with cleaning things up in the yard. The damage to our plants from the freezes has been cleaned up and we can already see the new green leaf growth peaking up out of the soil. It won’t be long though until our hot spring and summer temperatures kick in and then it will be time to focus on the inside!
melissa says
clean me! I cleaned every closet in my home and I donated so much!
Kellie says
CLEAN ME! actually touch up the paint on my walls to hide any knicks or scratches that occurred over the past year.
Destiny D says
Clean Me!
It’s time to spruce up the doors and windows by cleaning out all of those pesky winter webs…
melissa says
Clean Me!
Oh, how the house could use a good clean, from sudsing the floorboards, to a linen closet cleanout…this vacuum would do just the thing to keep my husband from bringing home more “strays” he finds half-broken on the street
catherine s. says
CLEAN ME!
Spring cleaning ritual – sorting and purging, repeat…every year, we vow to simplify; however, our closets and basement seem to reproduce right under our noses. We’re a work in progress…and it feels good to sort, purge, repeat.
ClarenceM says
CLEAN ME! I vacuum everything. I need the vacuum!
Sarah says
CLEAN ME!
Our entire house needs a solid cleaning. This weekend will most likely be floors (we have all tile floors, so it’s not that much work). We’re also moving soon, so we gotta get all the nooks and cranies before we leave.
Kimberly says
CLEAN ME! Washing all the curtains….
Polina says
CLEAN ME!
Katrina Granland says
CLEAN ME!
I am currently borrowing my mums spare teeny, little, no suction vacuum and desperately want one of my own! Hope I win and I love your blog too.
Vanessa Vaomotou says
CLEAN ME!
Files. I must clean-up the files. It seems that it continues to grow each year, so I have to go through re-organize, and re-size.
chelsea says
CLEAN ME!! I am on vacation right now, so I’m not thinking of the cleaning jobs that are awaiting me at home… but we definitely have some scary closets!
Micara says
CLEAN ME!
Actually, My roomies and I are in college and already started our spring cleaning because don’t want to leave with a messy apartment before Spring Break. Of course, we still have a lot to clean (remember college? everything gets dirty so easily!) and it doesn’t help that we have a hand-me-down vacuum cleaner that only works half the time! Anyways we have so much more to do, but the first thing on the list is the closets and a deep fridge cleaning. This would be the best spring cleaning gift ever!
Amy says
CLEAN ME! Spring cleaning will include window-washing to let in all of our early spring sunshine!
Aimee says
CLEAN ME!
I’ve been moving junk from in the house to the attic. We also took a big load to the Salvation Army.

Jami Graham says
CLEAN ME!! I wish we had a spring cleaning tradition…we just need a cleaning regularly!!!
