Fab Freebie: This Giveaway Sucks

***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?

Bissell Cleanview

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.

Bissell Pet Broom2

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!

    We’ll be getting the carpets professionally cleaned, the exterior windows power washed and hopefully soon it will be warm enough to start working on the flower beds.

    CLEAN ME

    As a mommie of 3 pups, (2 Rottweilers, and a lil chihuahua, just like Burger) our spring cleaning consists of everything from cleaning the pet hair & dust under the bed and couch, to cleaning the drool off the windows inside and out (gross). Also, the closet cleaning that everyone dreads once a year, but you get to bring out those summer clothes! Everyday is spring cleaning in our young house with the amount of pet hair we get from all the pups. But we love ’em, so we deal with everything they leave behind!

    My yearly ritual is purging early, then de-dogging the furniture thoroughly and cleaning carpets. We are almost closed on our first home and ecstatic to be almost non-renters. Perhaps next year it’ll be gardening!

    I always like to clean out my closet when I start switching my winter clothes over spring/summer clothes. This way, when I go to switch out my spring/summer clothes in the fall, I’ve already gotten rid of what I didn’t want at the end of the winter season. Then I’ve already got room for new stuff! :) I’m also trying to finish up painting doors in our family room so I can’t start working on our bathroom project. So much to do!

    Have three kids already, and twin boys on the way. We are overhauling the closets, the dressers,giving tons of stuff to charity, paring down everything and giving everything a good scrub down before life really gets crazy around here. A new vacuum sounds amazing!

    Our landlord is selling our apartment, and since we’re not in the market to buy…it’s time to move out. While I definitely do not like moving, at least it is a good reason to clean and purge.

    along with reorganizing the closets & basement, we always go through and donate items once it gets warm. (Much easier to haul them aroung without so much snow).
