***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
holy crap, this is an awesome giveaway. ok, my cleaning rituals start with the removal of any snow man themed item. next we go to the sunroom, where the many windows and windowsills get scrubbed. my cat loves to sit in the windowsill, like actually in it, and i don’t see how she isn’t uncomfortable with the jamb or whatever poking her. thank goodness this past weekend was nice enough to open a few!
Courtney says
CLEAN ME!
I haven’t started cleaning yet…maybe this will give me a little “boost”?
Karen says
CLEAN ME!
We’re trying to sell out townhouse so we’ve been in “spring cleaning” mode for a few weeks now…
Sara says
Clean me! What an awesome giveaway! Whew :) Spring cleaning has begun in our house…little bits at a time. We’ve been scrubbing out the nooks and crannies around the house, washing windows, preparing the gardens….my favorite time of year!
Alli says
CLEAN ME!!!
We are just finishing up a major kitchen renovation and I cannot WAIT to deep-clean my house. A new vacuum would work wonders on all the dust that’s in every nook and cranny. It’s the first spring in our new house so we’re planning to deep clean, unpack(!) and plant some perennials and shrubs that we’ll enjoy for years to come. Happy Spring YHL-ers!
Colleen Wilson says
CLean ME!
We (my husband and I) are scheduling spring clean week. Purging unwanted clothes one day, dusting the next, lawn on the weekend, etc. Can’t wait!

Clean me!
We bought a Dyson recently, but my parents could definitely use a new vacuum cleaner; if I win this is for them!
Laura A says
CLEAN ME
We are expecting our first child April 13th, so I have been cleaning EVERYTHING!! The fridge got a deep clean last week, as did the bathrooms (including those hard to reach light fixtures)…this week I am tackling the nursery, washing all the baby clothes, etc. Wish me luck!
Jen says
CLEAN ME!!
Every year, never fails, I have this urge to completely change up everything in my house. It’s not so much the clean the walls, floors, etc. it’s the furniture needs to be rearranged, pictures hung in different spots, new stuff, and so on and so on. It’s like I’m nesting every spring! :)
Lisa K says
Clean Me Please!
Up in Michigan we are feeling the itch to get started but the snow isn’t melting quite yet. However, I’m ready to clean the windows and trim back the garden areas that I didn’t get to last fall!
Chris says
Clean Me!
I love to plant pretty flowers in the garden and dust and vacuum the whole house! But could really use a new one.
Amy says
Clean me!
I love cleaning out my closets when spring hits.
Tricia says
Clean me!
Yesterday, I decluttered and cleaned out one section of cabinets (top and bottom) and the section of counter that goes with them. Little by litte. But, that one corner looks great!
Jodi says
CLEAN ME! I am currently tackling the paper problem in this house by creating book shelves with baskets that are labeled for easy filing. I hope it works to motivate a certain someone to file weekly :)
Karen says
CLEAN ME!! we are in the market for new vac – perfect timing! my spring cleaning is beginning with a room switch… with me luck!
Thanks for the chance, this is great!

Oh you have no idea how much I need that! My current vaccuum just died. Crossing my fingers.
Jess B. says
CLEAN ME
I start spring cleaning by purging every nook and crany. I feel so much lighter and happier when it’s done.
patrice says
“CLEAN ME!”
Wow what an awesome giveaway!! I’d actually look forward to cleaning ;) My spring cleaning started with cleaning out underneath the beds of my 12 and 10 year old boys. Once that was done I can do anything…from there it’s going on to organizing my home office and hall closet. I love your inspirations and ideas. Keep up the great work!
Larie says
CLEAN ME. Please, someone clean me.

Kristen Miller says
CLEAN ME! Cleaning the pantry and other closets are a must!!
Dominika says
CLEAN ME!
Oh man, where do I begin…
We’re pretty good at keeping our household clutter-free but I’m always surprised by how much stuff accumulates and how full my garbage bags are after a spring-cleaning.
Outside of the home we’re slowly prepping the grounds for our mini garden…cannot wait for fresh herbs.
Jenn says
clean me! our windows desperately need to be cleaned. I’m hoping for a warm weekend in April… hopefully that will be enough motivation!
Bailey Baker says
CLEAN ME!!!
I have been vacuum-less for months!!

Clean Me!!!
Marsha Marsha Marsha says
Such great timing to “CLEAN ME”. I just started the search for a thing they call a Vacuum! Truely, cleaning and I are not a match. I would rather mow the lawn! However, the dreaded deed is always lurking so finding a new vac is on my search list. Number one look for feature…a hose. Mine doesn’t have one and now with wood floors its a must! So, if I don’t happen to win this little jewel…I’ll be checking it out in the store. It would be so nice to have you call and tell me I’ve won it instead!
OH…my tip for spring cleaning tired baseboards? I took an hour of time and ran a fresh coat of paint along the hall. That area is High Traffic and is a focal point in route to the bathroom! It actaully gave me joy to see it so fresh looking! Just wished I had that hose attachement to prep clean it!
Thanks for the fun blog!
Bex says
CLEAN ME!
I spring clean before Pesach (Passover), to get rid of any and all chametz (leavening). This means every drawer, every cupboard needs to be emptied and vacuumed. Any trace of dust has to be gone in order to fulfill the mitzvah. So I could use the help!
Chris says
ClEAN ME!
Emily says
CLEAN ME! We are undertaking a MAJOR clean session at our current house, because we’re purchasing our very first home!! This blog has been such an inspiration- we are now chomping at the bit to get into our very own space and start decorating…and cleaning!
Jessi says
CLEAN ME! Please
I have a 19 month old, two dogs and a cat. Any cleaing power will help! I spring clean, fall clean, weekend clean, etc.
Congrats on the new baby and new vacume!

CLEAN ME!
We’re in the midst of cleaning our floors (which is why this giveaway is so appealing!) A simple vacuum job won’t quite do it though…for the last 6 months, we’ve been housetraining our puppy Bojangles, and now that she’s finally catching on, our carpets are going to need some serious shampooing!
Elizabeth says
CLEAN ME!!!!
This will be our first spring in our first home so spring cleaning rituals will be all new to us. I imagine we will be doing the usuals…window washing, definitely need to give the fridge a good cleaning and eventually start the yard work. The yard work may have to wait a little seeing as we live in the country with the #1 hockey team and it’s still a bit cold here.
Also that pet hair broom looks fabulous. We have a cat who sheds like crazy, I am forever sweeping hairs that form little tumbleweeds all around our house.
Thanks :)
Anne says
CLEAN ME! I am so taking you up on the closet cleaning party and hoping to get some good kid clothes to take to my local resale store.

Spring cleaning means sorting thru winter clothes and packing it up in the attic. Bfing on the warm weather clothes!

Clean me! is what my floors are always shouting! I have a black pomeranian mix and a baby on the way…definitely need a new vacuum.
Susanne N. says

i need to clean out the “pantry inside the pantry” and throw away tons of junk!
Tori says
CLEAN ME!!! I have to clean the two HUGE sliding glass doors in my apartment and wipe down the walls and baseboards with a wet cloth. I need to see the pretty, returning sunshine through those doors!
Amy says

Can’t wait to do a closet clean-out, donate old stuff, and do a switcheroo with new spring clothes!
Ginag says
CLEAN me! and my floors!
Claire says
CLEAN ME!
We are in the tail end of our big bathroom renovation. I can’t wait to get all of the construction dust our cats have tracked around off of our wood floors!
Alyssa says
Clean me and make my back porch ready for the spring weather! Sweep of the dust, wipe down the furniture and fill it with flower pots and lanterns…
Gina says
CLEAN ME! My favorite spring cleaning activity is using the Windex outdoor glass cleaner on the extension…wipe on spray off…it works fantastic and my front porch glistens!
