***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!

We have a 5 month old… so lots of projects underway! I’m going through all my old pre-maternity clothes, we are rearranging the living room to allow for more crawling room and less potential dangers for our little girl, plus the never ending storage of clothes our baby has grown out of. Its crazy how fast she’s growing!

We are about to move so my spring cleaning is going to be packing & weeding out junk this year!
Laura Machak says
CLEAN ME
My spring cleaning always starts with repotting and organizing my house plants
AshleyGee says
I start my spring cleaning by sprucing up my front porch and back patio–planting spring flowers, refilling bird feeders, sweeping up, rearranging patio furniture, starting my patio garden, cleaning out the grill, and ending the day by drinking a few too many beers. That counts, right?

We have a little seedling garden that we’ve just started up. And the house spring cleaning will be starting shortly! The vacuum will definitely be handy for that! :)
A Freeman says
Today, I began washing down the outside walls, cleaning the deck and washing out the kitchen storage sink that we have outside (which had rat poop, yuck).
Lacy says

I’m not a cleaner. So I need this vaccuum!
Kari @ Foreclosure2Fabulous says
CLEAN ME!! I’m so ready to clean up our yard! (Which unfortunately this awesome vacuum can’t help with…) We bought our house in July and there were so many things to tackle it was the most we could do to mow. I’m ready to plant flowers and veggies! Woo hoo!
Sara says

This vac and broom would be just what I need for my place. I just got a little chinese crested dog (the Powderpuff variety) right after Christmas and well she’s been shedding a lot more than I expected… but like any dog lover/owner I love her to bits, even when she does leave me some messy surprises! Anyway here’s hoping I get lucky with my first submission! BTW I love your blog, it’s the extra little kick in the but that I need to really get moving with my projects…
Thank you!

CLEAN ME!
we just cleaned the closet in our computer room.
Krystyna says
CLEAN ME!!!
I can’t wait for spring to get here so we can open up our windows and let some fresh air in! First thing on my list will be to clean out and organize ALL of our closets. We have gathered way too much stuff, and way too easily hide it all in closets.
Chrissy says
CLEAN ME!
My husband and I just bought our first house over the past summer, so we don’t have any spring cleaning rituals yet. A new vacuum would go a long way to figuring some out, though!
Marie says
CLEAN ME!
Bit of a fanatic all year, but right now repainting, followed by windows and all the nooks and crannies! Husband is even crazier and has already begun all the outside. Can’t wait to open the windows and enjoy both!!
katherine says
CLEAN ME!
I feel like I spring clean all year round. A spring cleaning ritual actually sounds kind of motivating.
Ami says
CLEAN ME!
I’m about ready to start converting my soon-to-be two year old daughter’s room from a baby room to a ‘big girl’ room! That’s my biggest cleaning/organizing project on the horizon. Love the blog!
Julia says
CLEAN ME!
My favorite spring cleaning event is taking down the plastic on our windows that guards the interior of our apartment from the nasty Chicago winter. I hope I don’t have to wait until June this year!

Bree C. says
CLEAN ME!
I like to get my gardens ready to go and to wash the baseboards. I also like to get my closets organized because my husband manages to create havoc throughout the year in them all!
Keri says
CLEAN ME! I try to “spring clean” year round so I don’t get overloaded. building the IKEA dresser I bought for the closet is next on the list.
Stephanie says
CLEAN ME! :)
While I was off visiting family in the cold Midwest, my husband got into spring mode here in the sunny south. He set up our new compost ring and rain barrel, and hopefully over the next week he’ll get my garden boxes put together. This will be our first year trying to grow our own veggies, which our family is very excited about.
Erin P. says
CLEAN ME!
We make a huge haul to Goodwill – somehow we keep accumulating so much stuff! Maybe I can take my old vacuum (the same one you had) there this time!
Caitlin says
CLEAN ME!
We are actually closing on our new (and first!) house this spring, so I will have lots of spring cleaning to do this year! I’m planning to start with the yard work and then move my way inside :)
Robin says
CLEAN ME!!!
I need a new vacuum! And my dog sheds a ton!!
Emily says
CLEAN ME!
Lately I’ve been taking grocery bags, using a small one as a protective barrier, and walking through my neighborhood picking up trash. It makes me feel proud to look around my streets and notice no trash on the ground. I hope it stays that way for a while!
Ben says
CLEAN ME!
cleaning windows since there is now something to look at.
Melissa says

My spring cleaning is my second bedroom. I am currently using it as a storage room and have a 2010 resolution to renovate it into an actual “bedroom.”
Cecelia says
I would love to win this giveaway. I have two boy, two dogs, one cat, one hubby and lots of little boys visitors. My house is always begging for cleaning. LOL

We have started our 1st garden, and already ate some of the lettuce and radishes..so off to a GREAT start..However, clean-up from potting is messy..and that broom you have going on excites the heck out of me!! Not to mention, I have 4 miniature people (oh thats right, they are called dogs to some folks)and unfortunately they shed..so I am thinking the Vacuum would be awesome too!!!My vacuum is approx 14 years old, so this Bissell sounds like it would be the ticket for my situation.

CLEAN ME!!
I’m planning to use my Spring Break next week to spring into Spring Cleaning. The first thing I’ll be working on are all of the overgrown bushes in front of the house I just bought and cleaning windows.
Renee says
Clean Me!
I like the Michael Scott (from The Office) approach: “Today is spring cleaning here…and yes, I know that it’s January – I’m not an idiot….But if you do your spring cleaning in January, guess what you don’t have to do in the spring? Anything.”
Brandi says

We just started spring cleaning – in the spare bedroom that holds lots of junk. Almost 100% completed. My goal is to get it visitor ready by the end of May since we have visitors coming then. :)

We have a 6 month old baby girl who is just starting to crawl . . . the problem there is our 3 Labrador Retrievers have started to blow their winter coats early. We now spend each morning and afternoon with broom and dust pan in hand trying to stay on top keeping a clean floor for our little one as she explores every inch of our new house! Just got hooked on your blog via Facebook. Keep up the good work!
Lacey says
Clean me!
My husband and I just bought our first house and there is so much organizing and cleaning that has to happen- it isn’t even funny. Next on the list for a makeover are our two guest rooms.
