***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!

Cleaning up all the mess of moving across two states!

CLEAN ME!
A Bissell broom just for pet hair!? How have I not known about this sooner? Our constant cleaning project is purging things that we do not need and either selling or donating when possible.
Angela says
CLEAN ME
I cant even begin to describe how much i need that vacuum. I JUST went through the bathroom closet, tossed out expired products, bought storage units for everything so that I now have all my first aid, products and electronics perfectly organized. Next stop the clothes closet. Now if only I had a vacuum that actually WORKED – the one I own is a joke – i literally run it over the carpet and watch as it doesnt even pick up the BIG stuff. Sigh…

I have lots of spring cleaning to do in preparation for selling our condo to buy a house since we just had a baby last year and are completely out of room. I am starting with baby clothes and baby toys, and then I’ll start putting winter clothes away. Need to make the place look uncluttered!
Megan says

We’re cleaning everything inside & out!
Allison says
CLEAN ME!
I have this storage unit that has a lot of items that i don’t have room for in my apt (i have a roommate who provided all the furniture). I’m hoping to get in there and start cleaning out, giving away, and reorganizing my wares. Wish me luck!
Patrice says

we recently created a chore chart for the fridge to make sure we stay on top of weekly dusting, vacuuming, etc. It seems a bit elementary , but I love the accountability and satisfaction of checking off my completed chores!

Oh boy could we use both of these awesome prizes! We do just fine in our wood-floor home using a broom to sweep both floors and rugs but having a super-vac and a broom with specialties for pet hair (hello fuzzy dog and cat who leave their black hair everywhere) would make cleaning the floors a breeze!
Well, a breeze for my husband. These fall under his jobs!
Emily says
Clean Me! Starting my seeds for a growing garden.

Tammy Wood says
CLEAN ME PLEASE!
I have just started spring cleaning..first, started with closets and cabinets to find things to donate or for the school garage sale. Then started deep cleaning the bathrooms (washing down the cabinets, baseboards, etc).
Thanks!
Carly says
CLEAN ME!
My husband and I are closing on our first home (a condo with tons of storage!)in a couple of weeks, so our spring cleaning is more about paring down: sorting things to donate, throw away, and repurpose. I don’t want the clutter from our current home to follow us to the new one…
Courtney says
CLEAN ME
Mulch! Does that count?
Susanne says
CLEAN ME!
Planning on cleaning all the closets and organizing everything in them.
Katie says
Clean me.
This morning I was thinking that I need to do a trip to the laundromat soon and launder the duvets and pillows.
Krithiga says

planting new flowers very spring!
Barbara says
CLEAN ME!
First, the windows get a big wash. Then the floors get waxed, rooms repainted and everything gets shaken out. It’s a lot of work, believe me!
Mrs.Awesome says
Clean me!
I have to clean up after two furry cats that shed like crazy!
Carrie says
CLEAN ME!
Mulching and planting – it is a little too early to plant, but before I can plant I have to lay a layer of newspaper down and then mulch over it so the weeds don’t grow through…as messy and smelly as it is, i really do love it :) because it means summer is coming!

I was actually just vacuuming right before I read this post. My 9-month-old daughter Estelle LOVES it when we vacuum. She’ll frantically chase the machine around, and if we stop moving for more than a couple of seconds, she’ll try to climb up on top of it. With all the new baby messes, we could sure use a nice new vacuum.
Amanda Sparks says

My spring cleaning involves power washing the siding, cleaning out closets, and constantly sweeping/vacuuming/lint rolling pet hair off every surface of my home!!
Lauryn says
CLEAN ME
I’m currently going through my closet and finally letting go of clothes I haven’t worn in years!
Eryn says
Clean me! Just weeded the yard and raked up leaves. Getting ready for spring!
Leah says
CLEAN ME
My spring cleaning ritual involves cleaning out the garage. Removing all the stuff that’s accumulated there over the winter when we were too lazy to put things away in their proper place. Blow out the garage to get rid of dust, cobwebs, dirt, leaves from plants stored in the garage, etc…
Leigh says
CLEAN ME!!!
We have already finished the majority of our spring cleaning. We could definitely use this vacuum with 2 cats that shred like crazy!
deanna says
Clean Me!!
One closet left to be sorted, purged & organized. My house somehow feels lighter with organized closets!
Jessica K says
CLEAN ME! please……
Spring cleaning in our household is every Saturday. With two giant, black bernese mountain dogs it is necessary. But they are so worth it.
Amy KC says
Clean Me =)
I always start spring cleaning with the closets. I purge all of the winter items I didn’t really use and then pack the remaining items into vaccum storage bags. Once that’s done I pull out the spring/summer clothes. It really helps me weed out the clothes that I’m not wearing.
Jenny says
CLEAN ME”!
I have started a little bit! We pulled the stove out yesterday and deep cleaned it and behind it. I hope to clean windows next weekend. After that I need to dig through clothes to get a box ready for the consignment store.
Kelsi says
CLEAN ME!
We are taking on the closet clean up and getting rid of those clothes we haven’t worn in several seasons!

Spring cleaning… where to START?! Our office is in major need of a spring-clean overhaul. Home to 3 shed-monsters’ crates (our fur-babies!, plus all of our unpacked boxes from our move 6 months ago, not to mention the computer hub of the house… it’s a mess. A mess. There’s dog hair on everything. Computer cords tangled. Bookshelves in boxes ready to be assembled. We’ll get to it soon… but I’ll be this giveaway would help!!!
Colette says
CLEAN ME!
I am trying to clean out a drawer in the kitchen every weekend. I am tired of the clutter!
Amy says
CLEAN ME!
Just moved in to a new apartment, so not much spring cleaning to do yet. However, the Bissell looks perfect to pick up all the cookie crummies my dog leaves around the house! :)
Karina - Project K says
CLEAN ME AND MY BABY!! My ten month old gets as dirty as BOTH our dogs! Is there possibly such a thing as a baby vacuum!? jj Anyways, with another baby on the way (eek!), I’d love a vacuum that WORKS! With both dogs in the house most of the time, poor Roman crawls around in pet dander most of the day! our chocolate lab is a mess of hair, luckily the bull masstiff not so much! Love your blog and keep up the great work!
Jessica says
CLEAN ME!!
We are cleaning out the garage…and landscaping (we already planted a new tree yesterday)!!
AlexisS says
Clean Me!
I just cleaned out and re-organized my closet, so I’m working on keeping it organized and not letting it slide back to sloppy-town!
Jessicah says
CLEAN ME!
My usual spring cleaning fever involves reorganizing/getting rid of books (I have hundreds) and cleaning out our closets…but this year I am in full nesting mode, and have also been washing walls and wiping down baseboards! My husband and I were just talking about how we need a new vacuum…
Carly says
CLEAN ME!
My spring cleaning involves a lot of reorganizing!
Liz says

I’m starting with the closets, donating clothes and organizing!
Katie says
CLEAN ME!
I know it’s spring when I decide it’s time to re-organize my tuperware drawers and finally throw out all the empty cottage cheese containers that I’ve been using for storage.
Tori says
CLEAN ME!
My whole house needs a scrub down. I just moved in last summer and rather than unpacking, I still have random things sitting in boxes in closets of empty rooms. Not to mention that I’ve got two cats and a very rambunctious, muddy dog … yeah. You get the picture. It’s a mess.
Paige says
CLEAN ME!!
i am a crazy clean freak as is, and the mere thought of a new cleaning tool makes my heart beat a little faster…
Emily says
CLEAN ME!
OMG — I have two cats and ‘spring cleaning’ is getting their hair off of everything! It turns into something I have to do every weekend! I would LOVE a new vacuum and broom designed especially for pet hair!
Mike at The Big Stick says
CLEAN ME
We just moved so it was nice to start with an empty house we could clean well from top to bottom. For me the biggest thing I do in the spring (and any nice day really) is to try and open the windows as often as possible. I love the way fresh air seems to make the house feel so much better.
