***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
My ritual is going through our clothes drawers. I try to give a huge bag of no-longer-needed (or worn) clothes to the local Vietnam Vet center several times a year. This year I am also going to do a clean out the fridge and re-stock the freezer project.

Our spring cleaning will start in the yard! We moved into our house in Sept, renovated almost the entire inside since, but now the yard does not match!! Thank goodness for the warmer weather!
Chad says
CLEAN ME!
My spring cleaning starts with moving the sweaters out of my drawers and packing in the shorts and t-shirts, baby!
Jeremy says
CLEAN ME!
Cleaning? Rituals… is forgetting to clean one? We have two inherited vacuum cleaners – one from the previous owner of our house (it doesn’t suck very well… maybe that’s why they left it?) and one that I think is from the 80’s that was passed down from my aunt. So we’ve thought about buying a new one already.
But back to cleaning… we tend to do an ok job when we’re about to have a party, but it’s been a couple months now, so we’re due for another party (and house cleaning).
Aja says
Clean me! Yesterday was our first Spring-like day so we spent the afternoon cleaning out the garage! Fun times!
paige says
CLEAN ME!!
we are moving into our first home soon so *spring cleaning* will include : packing and unpacking all of our belongings, CLEANING our rental, refinishing the floors of our new house before moving in, making it *home*…
awesome blog!
Kate says
CLEAN ME!
I’ve definitely been bit by the cleaning bug… one thing that’s been driving me nuts since we moved into our new construction home is the blinds. The builder included basic blinds throughout the house (awesome because we have lots of HUGE windows!) The downside? The builder is not as nit-picky as we are and put them up dirty and dusty!
We’ve spot-cleaned them the best we can while they’re still hanging up, but my big spring cleaning project this month is taking down ALL the blinds and thoroughly cleaning each one!
We can’t wait for pristine blinds!
Sharon says

We go through old bills and receipts, to re-organize and purge. We also have to tackle the closets and find clothes to keep, donate, or sell at our garage sale.

I always go after those nasty cobwebs in high up corners. Smells like springtime to me!
Nicholas Gatlin says

Oh dear GAWD please clean me! I have to Weims and an 800 square foot house. You can do the math. It all equals dog hair dust bunnies!!! ARGH!

Rene says

Oh are you suppose to having cleaning rituals come spring? I guess I tend to organize more. Less choas.
Katie says
CLEAN ME!
My spring cleaning ritual is actually going to be an interesting one this year! My boyfriend and I have recently just settled a lease on a new apartment, which is definitely going to need some heavy duty cleaning and airing out, and we’ll be moving in in about 2 weeks. It’ll be exciting though because it’ll be one of our first big projects together (first out of many more to come, I’m sure!) and I’m looking forward to getting everything neat and tidy for our new place together.
Callie says
Clean me!
I have this obsession with cleaning out my gutters. I get excited every time!
Emily Wingfield says
CLEAN ME, and I take my rugs outside once a year and give them a big beating. There is always surprisingly a lot of dirt and salt from the wintery months!
Stephanie says
Clean me!!
I have been going back and forth on buying this!! Keep hoping it will go back on sale at Target soon!
Today is the first spring like day we have had in Pittsburgh, and I am cleaning out the garage…sweeping it out and letting fresh air in through the windows!
Nicole says
CLEAN ME!
I really don’t have any spring cleaning rituals. I do a lot of random purges of stuff we don’t use anymore, and every once in a while, I’ll do a huge cleaning to where spring cleaning really isn’t necessary.
Stephanie says
CLEAN ME!
We’ve been doing a lot of remodeling lately which has reaked havoc on our walls. So last weekend I did some touch-up painting on walls that haven’t been painted in a couple of years. Not technically cleaning but it looks a lot cleaner!
Jamie says
CLEAN ME (please!!!). I am compulsively purging the house of STUFF that gets carted off to Goodwill or given to friends and it feels SO GOOD to have less and less cluttering our storage spaces. I’m also starting to organize our 18 month old’s baby clothes into clear bins (they’ve been in cardboard boxes) so we can find stuff when we have another one someday. :)
Lynn J. says
CLEAN ME!
Our ritual is usually on Sunday after church to just attack the laundry, carpet and anything else. We just find ourselves to be more productive on Sundays.
nikki says
clean me!!!!
we’ll be moving this april so my spring cleaning will be going through the house and getting rid of stuff i dont need or want to pack! i’ll donate it all too, so not only will purging make things easier for me, i’ll feel better that its going to someone who needs it more!
danielle says
CLEAN ME
our spring has def started by preparing our new backyard garden!
gina civey says
CLEAN ME!
My ritual is being realistic as i pack away winter clothing – i’d rather get rid of it (if i am not going to wear it) than store it for another year
Amanda Joy says
CLEAN ME PLEASE!
Amanda says
CLEAN ME!
I like to paint a room to brightly up the place! That is what I will be doing here in a few weeks…also it motivates me to get rid of unnecessary things!
Megan B says
CLEAN ME!!!!
I will be joining you in your closet cleaning party!!! we have a great boutique that will buy gently used designer clothes and give them a second life! and the rest will go to goodwill!!!
Micki merrill says
CLEAN ME!
Spring cleaning in the garden. Clean out all the dead stuff, rake the leaves from the garden beds and discover all the new growth poking up above.
But, I also have five cats and a dog and could use a terrific vacuum on a daily basis! CHOOSE ME!
Ada says
Clean ME
I usually clean my windows and cabinets as well as sort out clothes I no longer use to either give to my friends or donate.
Jovana says

Closet cleaning, purging clothes from three children.
Lisa V says
CLEAN ME!
I’m not much of a ritual person but we just moved two moths ago so it’s all about unpacking those last couple of boxes and maintaining the existing clean. This is our first time with all hardwood floors and boy do the dust bunnies like to gather, have parties and multiply!
Becky says
CLEAN ME!
I love the usual intensive, fresh-start cleaning projects that come with the warmer, windows-open weather. However, my favorite (and the entire family’s favorite) is to rearrange a room. This year it’s my son’s bedroom. Nothing like it for a fresh-start for spring!
Jenny Ice says
CLEAN ME!
Our spring cleaning is to go through the pantry and use everything or donate it to a food bank!
Lori says
Clean Me!
Definitly need to start taking the winter clothes to the dry cleaner and packing them away. I live in Michigan, so the winter clothes are a huge part of my wardrobe!
Allen says
CLEAN ME – My wife and I like to clean together, but I usually get stuck cleaning the toilets for some reason.
Michelle says
CLEAN ME!
Our spring cleaning is usually the closets.
Gina says
CLEAN ME!
spring cleaning definately starts in my closet…out with winter, in with warm weather clothes.
Maria says
Clean me!
I’ve been cleaning out closets- yesterday I started sorting through all of our old paint cans (some even left by the former owner of our home)- our city lets us call for 1 pick up of hazardous waste per year for free, so I have an easy way to dispose of it!
Maili Marsden says
CLEAN ME PLEASE! Love your website and ALL of you great ideas!!

Philipp says

Our spring cleaning will start by finishing up all our inside projects before the weather gets to nice out. I think we are a little late!
