***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!

First spring in a new (old) house = restoring the original windows and painting the entire exterior. And if I win this prize, perhaps I’ll be able to throw “make the house look like we don’t have 3 cats” into the mix, too!
PinkSass says
Clean Me!
We will be tackling the closets, the windows, all the blinds. Oh goodness just everything. Plus we just had remodeling done so dust is everywhere! And dog hair, it’s never ending. :)

Continual wind= continually dusting and vacuuming. A new vacuum with a hose attachment would be lovely.
Angela R. says
CLEAN ME!!! My spring cleaning starts with the cleaning out of closets and getting rid of close we no longer wear. Next step, all the carpets are cleaned, baseboards are wiped, and the main rooms get a fresh coat of paint, or a brand new color. Then we move it outside where all the windows are washed and the deck is cleaned. Ah, that feels good just to talk about it. Can’t wait for it to be completed!
Keep up your good work!
Lynne says
Clean me!
My spring cleaning ritual entails almost every inch of our 13 room farmhouse.
Bao says
CLEAN ME! I start spring cleaning by sorting everything into piles (storage, donate, or trash). I then wipe down everything and vacuum every inch of my house. After all of the dirty work is done I reward myself by rearranging things and, if necessary, buying a few things to make my home feel more updated.
Christina says
Clean Me!
A bag a day for forty days out of the house…to GW or garbage or for a yardsale (Bag size changes from large, black garbage, to small store plastic one.) Best purge so far was cleaning out my recipes.
Virginia Sole-Smith says
Clean Me!
We just moved into our house, so spring cleaning is sort of getting lumped in with “settling in” this year. But I do have a growing pile of purged items waiting for a Good Will run. And I am SO excited for the snow to melt, so we can start poking around in the garden!
Kelli says
Clean me please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m always cleaning….but my little back yard is my main project now!
Maggie says
CLEAN ME!
Definitely scrubbing down all of our white cabinets and trim…it’s neverending!
Sarah W. says
CLEAN ME!
Spring cleaning? Well I’ll have to soon because I have family coming for a visit in April, and it might be nice for them to be able to actually use the bedroom closets (currently stacked high w/boxes from our move-in in late Oct. 2009). Honestly, it’s all I can do to keep up with the tumbleweed fur balls that our two cats shed-off daily. Fingers crossed for the big win on this giveaway!
Laura H. says
CLEAN ME!
My spring cleaning involves doing the down and dirty, “non-weekly” items like washing windows, cleaning cupboards in the kitchen, getting to ALL the dust bunnies in the various nooks and crannies, and just a general clean of everything. I also like to take the time to go through closets and filter out old clothes for donation.
Brandi says
CLEAN ME! I make my husband move all the furniture out of every room in the house one at a time, so I can give them a good thorough vacuuming and carpet cleaning!
jody says
Clean Me!
Spring Cleaning..where to I even begin…probably start on the inside and work my way out….cleaning and purging and lots of it!
I actually really enjoy spring cleaning makes me feel revitalized.
Cindy says
CLEAN ME!
I’ll be taking care of deep cleaning that scary under the kitchen sink cabinet that holds the trash can
Andi says
Clean me!
You’ve inspired me to clean out my closets!
Vaea says

We will be tackling the closets and the garage. Should be fun!
Lauren says
CLEAN ME!
I’m new to YHL and figured I would break in on a freebie giveaway. I am loving all your house stories – we’ve done quite a bit of work at our place, though not as much as you!
jt says
CLEAN ME!!!
I’ve already started swapping out winter clothes for spring/summer clothes. I’ve washed our curtains and sofa covers. I’ve dusted everything in the apt. I love spring cleaning.
April says
CLEAN ME! While my spring cleaning is usually all about dusting and washing curtains, this year we are moving! So, I could certainly use a vaccuum to clean out the old and new place!
Brooke says
Clean me!!
Krissy says
CLEAN ME!
I am gutting my closets of clothes I have long forgotten about and thinking about window cleaning sooner than later…
Melissa S. says

We are chasing dust bunnies and getting ready to wash windows. I love squeaky clean windows and banished dust bunnies!
Kristen says
Clean Me!
I have a 2 week spring break (I’m a teacher) so I’m spending the time painting my bedroom and dining room and cleaning out every closet!
Jenn says
CLEAN ME!
We will start our spring cleaning with painting our upstairs and then clean the whole house.
Beverly says

Melanie says

I usually go through each room and make a donation/sell pile. This is the first step in my spring cleaning every year.
Veronique says
CLEAN ME!
The first spring cleaning task we’ll be undertaking will consist of organizing the shed so everything we might want from bikes to camping gear will be easily accessible when the time comes!
Jane Lynch says
Clean me!
Megan S says
CLEAN ME! We haven’t even lived in our house a year and there’s SO much to be done. First and foremost we need to get the snow off the ground outside, but then there’s going to be a landscape overhaul. The inside needs freshening up too. Oy, so much to do!

Abby says
CLEAN ME! My first spring cleaning ritual is to wipe down all blinds and windows, in hopes that we can open the windows soon!
Lexi says
“CLEAN ME”
We are remodeling our bathroom so I’m considering that part of our spring cleaning! I’ve also tackled the cleaning of our windows, painting of kitchen, reorganizing craft/office, dusting (this seriously doesn’t happen enough so I consider this special :). We are getting ready to have a garage sale too, then the rest to a local charity!
Cris says
Clean me!
Oh, boy. We have a HUGE list of stuff to do around the house this spring! We are having our first little one, and we are not even close to being ready. We have to completely clean out our computer room to make it into the nursery. In order to do that, though, we have to make room elsewhere for all this stuff that has just been packed in here. Closets, nooks, windowseats–nothing is safe! It all has to be cleaned out, rearranged, or taken down.
Stephen says
Clean Me!
For her birthday my wife asked for us to update our home office. Time to clean out the spare closet so we can fit things like a (hopeful) new vacuum in there.
Tonia says
CLEAN ME.
Tonia says
My current project is clearing out all of my clothes and shoes that I am not wearing anymore. All is slated for donation.
Maggie says
CLEAN ME!!! I’m moving from VA to NC this May – so I will be doing some serious spring cleaning before moving day!!
Gigi says
Clean Me!
I do a clothing swap party every few months with my girlfriends. Its great, we have a fashion show, make fun of some old trends, let go of the emotional dependency we have on certain items, and in the end we get a few ‘new’ items and the leftovers we donate to Good Will! Next one is coming up in April!
Katie J. says
CLEAN ME!!
Luckily we are in the process of moving so it is the perfect opportunity to toss, recycle, donate anything we don’t use any more, and clean and organize everything!
Krista says
CLEAN ME!
We gave our laundry closet (our main source for storage) a good cleaning. Even managed to make enough room to hang our bikes in there!
erin says
CLEAN ME!
The weather has been so nice which really motivates me to clean (for whatever reason) and last weekend we cleaned out the 3-season porch with all the stuff that just gets stored there in the winter!!

As soon as I finish this message I will be heading out to collect all the limbs that are down in the yard. Not very exciting, but I have to take advantage of the nice weather. Closets and then windows are the next on the “to-do” list.
Melissa says
Clean me!
We will be tackling the windows and built-ins with a good cleaning and a fresh coat of paint!
Donna says
That broom would really make it easy to CLEAN ME some dust bunnies off the floor!
As for spring cleaning, currently we’re re-vamping our bedroom. I’m looking forward to it being a relaxing retreat instead of a cluttered, dirty mess.
Jana says
CLEAN ME!
Please! We just bought our first house and that would sure come in handy…
