***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 like to clean and oil all of our kitchen cabinets. I actually love the smell of Old English cleaner.
Winnie says
Clean me!
We need to tackle all the empty boxes piled up in the garage. Maybe finally clean the car now that the snow storms are over (knock on wood).
Ashley says
Clean Me!
Every spring, I sort all my clothes (summer and winter) and give the items I don’t want to Goodwill.

CLEAN ME!
I don’t do a lot of cleaning, but my wife does. She would love to add these appliances to her cleaning arsenal.
Susannah says
CLEAN ME!
We are in the process of decluttering…we’ve gone through all our clothes, next up is the spare bedroom, AKA junk room!
Just a Picture of Home says
CLEAN ME, PLEASE!
Winning this vacuum would be amazing! I like to kick-off spring cleaning by sweeping and mopping all of the floors.
Ria says
CLEAN ME! and our family!!
We have been getting spring fever inside our house and outside… this is the lowdown of the projects we have done so far this week….
WINDOWS! So amazing to see outside in crystal clear vision!
Cleaning under the fridge, washer, salt tank, etc… (why did it take me so long!?)
STEAM CLEANING carpet on front porch (yuck) and area rug inside…
Moving furniture around for better house flow!
Taking bags of “stuff” to Goodwill…
Planting seeds of tomatoes, squash, cucumbers and green peppers….
Finally took all of the stuff out of my car and cleaned it good!!!
And, cleaning up our yard that had all sorts of stuff frozen and snow covered because we got and early frost this year and do not have a garage :(
Wow, that does sound like a list! Our son is turning five this week so we are having party this weekend… The sunshine and pending spring coupled with the party gives us much needed devotion and enthusiasm to get our house in shape! Plus it has been so rewarding, I think we will be keeping up on it!!
Thanks for all your inspiration!

Christy B. says
CLEAN MEEEEEEEEEE!! Purging & editing is going on in our house…mainly in our closet :)
Megan says
CLEAN ME!
My hubby and I are going to tackle our closets (our IKEA wardrobes and the one closet) in the apartment. You would think that living in NYC that would be an easy task. We have let them get pretty bad though!
Ann Magdalene says
CLEAN ME and my home! I have LONG, LONG hair and it gets everywhere in the spring!
Though it’s still east-coast back and forth-ness, Spring is definitely in the air and I’ve been in a mad panic to get the last of the indoor “to-do’s” done so that I can enjoy the outdoors guilt-free!
That includes a myriad of ‘this old house’ projects including stripping the banisters and updating some of the plumbing. Bring it on!
Nicole says
CLEAN ME!
I like to begin my spring cleaning by dusting everything in sight…with the windows open, of course!
Rachel says
CLEAN ME!
I am getting ready to start a project adding some small shelves in my laundry room to grow my own herbs. It will be so nice to have my own on hand without having to get a bundle from the grocery that inevitably goes bad since I cannot use it all.
KBaker says
CLEAN ME
well… we’re working on one bulk “attic trip” where all of the “we’re gonna put that in it’s rightful place” stuff is actually going to make it up there. other than that… the usual curtains, walls, carpets, etc. please send the new vac to us ASAP! hahaha…
Amanda says
CLEAN ME!
My major spring cleaning consists of my walls, I do them 2-3 times a year, and it just so happens that spring is one of those times. I try to keep my closets and every other nook & cranny clean during the year.
Megan says
CLEAN ME!!!
Windows & all woodwork – then starting spring reno projects: Project one…finishing the basement! Which your budget basement project has been oh so inspiring for!
Keith says
Clean Me! I will be getting all the patio furniture out of the garage.
Meagan says
Clean Me!
As soon as the warm weather starts the closets get cleaned!
Pat says
Clean Me! Lots of de-cluttering.
Grace says
CLEAN ME!!!
I live in an old house with all hard wood floors, two old dogs (one a HUGE golden retriever which sheds an unbelievable amount)and one mean cat. We have to clean our floors on a daily basis or blonde hair flies through the house like a tumbleweed blowing in the wind. I would love a new vacuum, please!!!
Kelly Robinson says
CLEAN ME!

CLEAN ME
Ideally my spring cleaning ritual involves cleaning, sweeping and scrubbing as many items and surfaces as I can get my hands on both in and outside the house. So far this year all I’ve gotten to is the second round of cleaning up the yard. I’ve trimmed back all the dead foliage that we enjoy all winter long (breezy grasses and silver leaves on ground cover) and pruned the bushes so they don’t completely overwhelm our tiny yard when spring comes. That was the fun part – I’m not looking forward to getting up all the pet hair that has somehow accumulated in every nook and cranny of our abode…
Jennifer says
CLEAN ME!
I can’t wait to have the time to clean the house completly and organize everything. Purge purge purge. I love this time of year so I can throw out stuff I haven’t bothered to look at in the past year.
caroline says
CLEAN ME!
instead of spring cleaning the carpets this year, i decided to replace them! i pulled up one layer of carpet and was surprised to find another. i’ve pulled that one up and discovered vinyl tile… (i shall not be pulling that up since i think it might have asbestos in it…this weekend i’ll sheath over it.)
Erica Garleb says
Clean Me!
I just cleaned all of our hardwood floors by hand for the first time. The snow, salt, and new puppy had made a big mess.
Matt says
CLEAN ME!!!! (Please)
Lindsay says
CLEAN ME!
I started by washing my car yesterday, does that count? :)
Jennifer S says
CLEAN ME!
I’m decluttering every room in the house to make spring cleaning easier.
Thanks!
Andrea D. says
CLEAN ME!!!
suzib says
CLEAN ME!
all my windows are getting done to allow for the lovely spring sun to shine in!
Devon says
PLEASE CLEAN ME!!!!
My house needs a serious scrub down especially with cat running in and out all day. The window need a wash, the front door needs to be fixed, and the landscaping deserves some TLC.
Erin says
CLEAN ME!
Getting rid of the old…so there is room for the new (wedding presents!!).
Amy says
CLEAN ME!
Last Sunday we had a huge cleaning spree. It feels so good to finally get all the joint compound dust off the floors! We have two cats – one has very fine hair that is next to impossible to vaccum or sweep up off our old hardwood floors in a house that has forced air heat. We’re also getting a labrador in the fall… so there will be LOTS of pet hair.
Michelle Heem says
ClEaN mE!!! I am doing it all…new paint, new woodworking projects (to get organized), cleaning closets….Spring puts a fire underneath me!
Cheryl says
CLEAN ME!
Oh dear, 33 wks pregnant and moving in 3 weeks. Need to clean new house and move over a span of 3 days. Realizing, I could use a new vaccuum.
BTW – already using absorbing as much from your site as I can to plan the new house. Thanks!
elz says
CLEAN ME I just spent the weekend organizing the art closet and preparing the garden and planting beds. Up next, cleaning the baseboards and organizing the closets. Woo!
Jeff says
CLEAN ME – getting our 3-season sunroom de-cluttered and ready for the spring and the requisite sunny naps on the couch
Erin Hubert says
CLEAN ME please Mr. Bissell 82H1. My house needs you and your cleaning love so badly. My vacuum is on its last leg and you would bring so much joy to our home.
Love,
Erin
Allison says
Clean me…..because I’m guessing this vacuum will take care of the seed and feathers my pet birds leave behind! As for spring cleaning, I’m starting with filing and organization before I get to the dirty work.
Christin says

Pauline says

I love it when it’s warm enough to open all the windows. Get rid of all that stale winter air!
Brian says
Clean me! I recently cleaned out my closet to donate unused shoes to Haiti.
Amber F says
CLEAN ME!
We just cleaned out our closets and took a trip to Goodwill!
Colleen says
CLEAN ME!
Where do I start? I like to bring out new lighter decor, so yesterday I found lots of light blue and green antique bottles (My father-in-law saves everything) They look so great on the fireplace, and the look is perfectly spring. Then I move on to the cleaning…corners of the house-cracks between cabinets and floors! Anything that I didn’t have the energy to do when the cold Chicago winter was upon us!
Amanda says
CLEAN ME…
I have just started my spring cleaning ritual, which includes cleaning out my closets and drawers of items that I haven’t worn in a while. I do not enjoy cleaning, but for some reason, I love doing this!!
Jill says
CLEAN ME
You guys are too funny! We joined you in the closet cleaning party (2 bags of clothes/misc decor ready to donate) but we didn’t stop there, we did a quick clean of our medicine cabinets and yesterday we tackled the garage! Spring is just around the corner!
Suzanna Stenbeck says
CLEAN ME!
Spring cleaning is a must in our tiny apartment!
Jen M says
CLEAN ME!
I love spring cleaning, time to get rid of the old and bring in the new!
Erin C. says
CLEAN ME!
We need to clean out the garage badly! You see I wasted a day cleaning it out last summer only to have my husband mess it all up again! We will have to tackle it again soon!
Eileen says
CLEAN ME
Can’t wait to start scrubbing away! Starting from the ceiling and working my way down every inch!
Christina Peterson says
CLEAN ME!
We actually broke down and paid for someone to come in and help us clean. It was the best money I ever spent! My husband and I both work full time, volunteer, and are involved in so many other things that we couldn’t carve out the time needed for a deep house cleaning. But now I can come home to a clean house…yeah!
