***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 live in a 800 sq foot apartment so spring cleaning only takes me a few hours but I turn up the music really loud, open all the windows and try to make it fun!
Ashley says
CLEAN ME!
So far the only spring cleaning I have gotten into is cleaning out 1 closet. I need to get a move on, new baby in the house though so not sure how much is going to get done.
Madeline Markos says
I have a Bissel, we bought this weekend. Like you I fell in love with it. We have affectionately named her “Bissy” and it’s seriously the best sucker around. I am pleased that it’s an affordable, well funcitioning, light-weight piece of loveliness!
ESBlondie says
“CLEAN ME”
We are gutting our kitchen this week, so a new vacuum would rock!
Erin S. says
CLEAN ME! (pretty please!)
We always clean out our closets . . . donate what we can, recycle/trash what we can’t, and organize!
corinne purnell says
CLEAN ME!!!! I would just love this giveaway!!! Like you I am expecting my first and all of the sudden last week those nesting instincts kicked in, so I am pretty much diving into every nock (sp) and cranny from ceiling to floor nothing will go un-touched, this prize would help!!!
Patricia says
Clean me! I will be cleaning our windows in the next couple of weeks. Ug!
Amanda in Boston says
CLEAN ME
I started on the fridge this weekend, throwing out dressings etc. that were expired and cleaning the shelves. Then we are on to the clothes..socks with holes are gone!
Gabby says
CLEAN ME! Can’t wait to get the outdoors cleaned up.
Erin says
CLEAN ME! We need to finish raking! Embarassingly, we still have some leaves that gathered under our bushes.
Lauren says
CLEAN ME!
My spring cleaning routine has started – completely emptying my closet, sorting out clothes to keep and donate. Phase two of this first project is to reorganize my office. I work from home, and my glass, L shaped desk serves as a catch all…for, well, everything!
Also – you guys have really inspired me with the eco friendly cleaning! :)
leah says
oh please CLEAN ME! I love cleaning products. i love cleaning. i love all things CLEAN! and so my rituals include a daily upgrade on anything in our closets to make them more user friendly. we are continually swapping out clothes for the various seasons. we have Tupperware’s for storage, and hangers for what we are currently using.
beth says
clean me!
being pregnant and about to pop my spring cleaning has mostly consisted of making lots of lists and then ignoring that and playing with my toddler.
Krystal D says
CLEAN ME!
As a self-diagnosed OCD (I prefer to call it CDO, because all the letters are in alphabetical order as they should be) clean freak, spring cleaning can be a weekly ritual for me. However, I do like to reorganize my closets and drawers at the start of each season (putting clothes in order of type, and colors are arranged in a ROY-G-BIV manner). Also, I like to clean out my school notebooks and binders at the end of each semester, only keeping things I may need it the future and recycling the rest.
YouCanCallMePeaches says
CLEAN ME!
I guess a nice way of putting it is I’m a bit of a clean freak. I’m a visual person so if my house is a mess, I have a hard time relaxing (does this mean I need therapy?).
MJ Bienko says
Clean me! Our spring cleaning includes going through everyones drawers and donating old clothes and toys.
Jen N. says
CLEAN ME!
Definitely going to start with a major scrub down of the mudroom.
Nicola says
CLEAN ME
We’re trying to unclutter our apartment: getting rid of old clothes, books we don’t need/never use, kitchen gadgetry that just takes up space…
Emily says
Clean me! My favorite “spring cleaning” ritual is switching out my winter clothes with my spring/summer clothes! My very small Chicago apartment has basically NO storage. I keep my “seasonal” clothes in clear plastic bins underneath my bed. I love the annual seasonal switch out which I usually do on a rainy weekend every April. Because I have no storage in my house, the vaccuum would be extra helpful to keep the apartment clean and free of dust bunny clutter!
Ryan says
CLEAN ME! Just got a new dog, with lots of hair, this would be the perfect prize for me.
Alyssa says
clean me!
switching from winter to summer clothes…even more exciting when there’s a spring break vacation coming!
Diana T. says
CLEAN ME!
It’s time for a good tile scrubbing at our house – the kind that involves baking soda and a bristle brush…
Jenny says
CLEAN ME!
With two medium-hair cats, life is never dull. I am constantly vacuuming up kitty hair and cleaning up various “accidents” (shattered plant pots, shredded kleenex…)from their playtime scuffles.
Spring Cleaning is more of the same along with purging as much as possible!
Shaye C. says
CLEAN ME!
Closets, closets, and more closets!
Mandy says
Clean Me! I just moved into a house with all boys. We have no vacuum and the house is a mess after all the moving and unpacking is done. We could really use this!
Suzanne says
Clean Me please.
We have a cat and are getting a dog soon. Sounds great!
Leslie says
CLEAN ME!
Just rented a carpet cleaner last weekend. Next up, new mulch in the shrub beds!
amandak says
CLEAN ME!
Becca B says
CLEAN ME!!!
This past weekend I was touching up the walls and cleaning and painting the base boards and trim. Nothing brightens up the casa like bright white trim!
Morgan says
CLEAN ME!
My current spring cleaning activity is going through all the paperwork that has accumulated and trying to filter through all the stuff I don’t need. And it is a daunting task!
Tovah says
Clean Me!
Two german shepherds means the cleaning never stops. However this year I’ve also been sorting through every room (it is a slow process) and trying to get rid of the accumulated stuff that we don’t really care about that is just taking up space. We donate it to the thrift store and I love knowing that we aren’t just storing a bunch of junk.
Dana Beth says
I NEED this- our cheapo vac needs replacing so bad- its useless. spring cleaning will be cleaning out our garage- a job that desperately needs to be tackled.
Rachael says
CLEAN ME!
We clean out our closets every spring. Not exciting, but so necessary!
Amanda says
Clean Me!
We’re in the process of doing a major purge of excess junk in anticipation of our upcoming move. Additionally, we have a totally inefficient and near death vacuum cleaner that we desperately need to replace!
Hannah Hawley says
Clean Me!!!
I am getting the back room cleaned and ready for starting seeds.
Suz says
Clean Me. This would be amazing to win.
Christina Marie says
CLEAN ME!
I’ve started reorganizing the pantry… tricky business when its deeper than it is wide! Otherwise just the usual, flipping the mattress, purging the closets, cleaning out the fridge. Good times :)
Eleanor says
CLEAN ME!
We just cleaned out the “craft closet” in our office that was in big time need of a spring-cleaning. It feels so gooood!
Sarah B says
Clean Me!
I’ve already taken down the curtains for washing, and hope to tackle the blinds this week. And I plan on cleaning out the closets to donate to the Vietnam Vets soon. So happy spring has sprung!
Erin says
CLEAN ME!!!
I have started spring cleaning! Starting with closets and drawers of my dresser! My trunk of my car needed it too!
Suzy says
Clean me. This would sure come in handy. :)
Karen says
CLEAN ME!
Trish T. says
CLEAN ME!
When our roommate moves out in a couple months we are gaining back a couple rooms in our house. I’m busy organizing what we already have and making a plan for how to use the soon-to-be-ours-again spaces. My label-maker is getting a lot of use these days.
mpm says
Clean me, please!
Planning on cleaning our refrigerator, microwave, and pantry to get our kitchen spring-ready!
Diane P. says
CLEAN ME!
Spring cleaning means cleaning out my closets for clothes I can donate to Goodwill/Salvation Army!
Jill says
Never mind my questions, I just found your tutorial on basement floor using the new how-to page. Thanks!
Abby says
CLEAN ME!
We’re actually tackling the closet as well. And we’re going to make a dog bed out of some of our old clothing. We also want to tackle the backyard soon!
Tessa says
Clean Me!
We just spent Saturday doing a top-to-bottom disinfect of the house. From there we’ll move on to more purging of items we haven’t touched since spring. :-)
Charmaine says
Clean me!
Our walk-in closet is definitely due to be reorganized. The last time I organized our closets, I even sorted them by category!
Meagan says
Clean me! Clearing out the basement is on the top of our spring cleaning list.
