***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 am about to start my yearly tradition of moving out of what started out as my dorm, and now has turned to moving out of apartments. Seems I always am finding one that I like more and my roommates and I are switching each year! I cant wait until I graduate and don’t have to worry about cleaning the entire apartment for the new tenants.
Oh and ps. we each have a dog which = LOTS OF PET HAIR!!! yikes
Rebecca Raymond says
CLEAN ME!
I just started to tackle the garden! We had our yard completely overhauled last year, and I planted ll new perennials. I cannot wait to see them grow in! Woohoo!
Cora Fernandez says
Clean me!
window washing, garden cleaning, rearrenging closets…
Erin Morin says
CLEAN ME!
We’re doing everything! It’s hard when we both work full time because we have to tackle it all after work and on the weekends. A little bit at a time. This prize would be amazing because we’re still working with a 9 year old canister vacuum.
Melissa says
CLEAN ME! I am attempting to declutter-donating and heaving stuff we done’ use or wear.
Michelle says
CLEAN ME!
I’m getting ready to combine households with my fiance, so everything is being cleaned (and purged and sorted).
Monica says
CLEAN ME!!
And since I don’t really have any spring cleaning rituals, I’m about to tackle a living room redo…inspired by YHL, of course!
Stephanie says
CLEAN ME!
With the recent warmer temps, I’ve abandoned housework and spent my free time out in the yard preparing for spring – weeding, cleaning leaves and tending to my baby bulb sprouts that are starting to peak through. I know I need to work on that mountain of laundry inside but I just can’t keep myself indoors when it’s so nice out.
amySP says
clean me!!!
I am about to start getting rid of JUNK. My aunt is in charge of her church rummage sale, and I am so excited to take boxes of stuff to her!
Sierra Nething says
CLEAN ME!!!
We have a baby on the way and our spring cleaning is combining the office with the guest room and to make room for a nursery. Lots and lots of organizing is involved with that!
Claire says
CLEAN ME!
I like to do Spring cleaning the first weekend the weather warms up–meaning that sometimes I do it in February, after which it goes back to snowing. But somehow I feel like doing Spring cleaning will make it FEEL more like Spring, even if the weather doesn’t cooperate.
Christine says
CLEAN ME! Please!! We just moved into a new place that has our first yard! Yay! Never realized how much work a yard is – Boo! Spring cleaning will begin this weekend with a complete yard clean up.
Olivia F. says
CLEAN ME!!!
On my spring list, I need to clean all 20 windows and organize my linen closet. On my long list of things to do, I have a completed a task of clearing out clothes we no longer wear and donating it!!
Shelly says
CLEAN ME!
Cleaning out the garage is number one on the list. Also, cleaning out closets and donating old clothes and unused items to the Goodwill. Feels good to give, and feels good to have a clean house!
Liz says
CLEAN ME!! :)
Since you want to know about my Spring Cleaning rituals, I should probably preface this by stating that it is pretty much _always_ “Spring Cleaning” time at my place! Yep, I am a total clean freak!
About one a season I like to take a rag to all the baseboards, fans, doors, etc. and give them a good wipe-down — and it is just about that time again here in Georgia! Along more organizational lines, I also sort through all my spring / summer and fall / winter clothes as I get ready to make the big switcheroo in my closet. Everything that I haven’t worn in a year (or forgot I actually owned) gets donated to Goodwill. :)
Valerie says
CLEAN ME! I’m currently working on revamping some wall stuff and changing it up. We’re also planning our garden. Can’t wait for fresh fruit and veges! I just recently switched over to Mrs. Meyers cleaning products per your suggestion and I LOVE them! My fave is the basil scented scouring powder. Smells SO much better than comet and cleans just as well! Thanks for your tips!
cheep3r5 says
Ooooooo CLEAN ME!! I could use an upstairs cleaner.
Tiffany says

Holly says

I’m going through the closets and taking old clothes to goodwill. Got to make room for the new ones, right??!?
leanna says

I AM CLEANING OUT MY CLOSET
Rosie says
CLEAN ME!
As soon as there’s a nice warm spring-y day, I open all the windows I can find, declutter, dust, and vacuum everything so that it can all air out. 70 and sunny – today’s the day!
Barbara says
CLEAN ME!!!!
i’ll be pulling all the weeds while the ground is still the soft from the rain we have been getting in southern california, and making my yard look pretty.
Christine P says
CLEAN ME
Just about to start cleaning all the windows, now that the sun is shining again and the days are getting longer you can see all the grime winter has left on them!
Beth Young says
CLEAN ME!!
The MI snow is just starting to thaw and in these first sunny days I like to open up all the windows while I do a good clean and bring out my “spring rain” candles to light when I’m all done and ready to relax.
Rebecca says
CLEAN ME!
My vacuum just broke and yours looks fantastic. Our big spring cleaning project will be some serious yardwork in the backyard.
Kim Turner says
CLEAN ME!!
Twice a year I participate in at least two kids seasonal consignment sales . It is a great way to get a head start going through the kids things, seeing what clothes they can’t wear anymore, getting rid of toys they have outgrown or don’t play with anymore and getting new things for them a great prices! This helps me get the kid’s rooms back in shape and gets me motivated to go through the rest of the house room by room at the beginning of each Spring and Fall. We have gone through many a vac with three kids and two dogs. This ones sounds A-MAZ-ING!
Mallory says
CLEAN ME!!!
I love to get my monthly clean on…no I don’t just wait for spring. I did decide to join the closet cleaning party and have been orgazining all of our medicines and first aid supplies in our linen closet. Amazing how helpful it can be to have everything organized!
Jeff Z says
CLEAN ME!
Bought a foreclosure last fall. We did clean up on the yard then, but looking forward to really taking care of it.
Chic 'n Cheap Living says
Clean me!
I’m just organizing all my old clothes and stuff – I have too much stuff and it’s always a work in progress!
Stephanie says
CLEAN ME!
We’re moving this spring, so we’re in full swing of cleaning the apartment and getting rid of junk. If we don’t want to cart it across town, it’s getting trashed or donated.
Melanie says
CLEAN ME!
I MOVING AND CLEANING UNDER THE FURNITURE. I LOVE FINDING ALL THE OLD CHEERIOS.
Annie says
CLEAN ME!
Spring cleaning for me is usually finding a new apartment. When my leases expire I always tend to find something I like better rather then staying put. I think this probably started in college and had just carried over. This also means that i have to do a very thorough cleaning so I can get back that whole security deposit!
Mari says
CLEAN ME!!
carak says
CLEAN ME! I was recently inspired to do some serious dusting – including the fronts and tops of all the kitchen cabinets in our home.
rebann says
CLEAN ME
I started with the bathroom and fridge last weekend, and have a long list of things to tackle this weekend in preparation for hosting my brother and his family. I’m jealous of everyone who’s been able to get in their gardens — I’m still waiting for the snow to melt!
Jenny says
CLEAN ME!
I always do a closet clean out when it starts to get warmer outside. I feel liberated when I drop that bag of clothes off at goodwill. I also like to steam the carpets to get those year old stains out!
Miss Maria says
CLEAN ME!
I am trying to pack stuff up and move them out of the house and into our storage unit in the back yard. The more I can move out, the more room for new shoes! I can write this because my husband will never see it.
Amanda says
CLEAN ME!
Right now, the whole house is in disarray due to our bathroom renovation. I’ll probably start cleaning room by room once that’s done.
Once all of the snow finally melts, we’ll probably give the yard a thought, too…
dinah says
CLEAN ME!!
once a month i TRY to clean out my closet or at least get rid of as much stuff as possible.. it feels refreshing and cleansing to clean it out! (i have a walk-in closet so there’s a lot of stuff in there..)
Emily says
Clean Me! My typical spring cleaning ritual involves washing all the windows and moving all the furniture to vacume and mop each room. But this year it will also involve gardening too since we just made the big move from renting to owning this winter.
laura says
CLEAN ME!
When I saw you post a while back about this vacuum, it reminded me my sad old vacuum needs an upgrade!! awesome giveaway
Traci says
“Clean Me”
Vanessa Phillips says
Clean Me!!
On the first perfect day of the season (warm breeze, tons of sunshine) I open all the windows and doors, put on great music and sing my head off while cleaning up a storm. Every part of the house gets a good once over and then I start prepping for our annual garage sale.
Vicky says
CLEAN ME.
Just moved into my new apartment in NYC and have been hard at work editing down my clothes and junk stuff. This makes room for new stuff but also creates lots of goodies to donate. Win Win.
BTW, really great blog guys. Thanks for all the useful how-tos.
Ben/Kate says
“CLEAN ME!”
We’re going to spend an afternoon talking the yard that’s been absolutely and completely neglected since October–the excuse being that anytime we had free time and warm enough to be outside, it rained. Our yard looks just awful. I can’t wait to fix it up and enjoy sangria on our porch!

Christine S. says

We are decluttering clothes that don’t get worn anymore. WooHoo!!!!
I’m also getting ready to clean windows inside and out!

Debbie says
CLEAN ME!
Spring cleaning begins with cleaning all the screens and windows. Now that sucks
Jennifer says
CLEAN ME!
A cleaning ritual for my husband and I is tidying up our yard. Although small, we rake, weed and plant grass seed. We are going to wash the outside of our tiny shed so it looks white again, bring out our outdoor patio furniture, fill up bird feeders and wash the bird bath. And my favorite part..buy fresh, colorful flowers for our pots! I’m hoping to get some of my favorites…big blue hydrangeas and plant them in the yard to enjoy all summer long!
