***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!
Decluttering… need I say more?! It’s a huge job!
Liz B. says
CLEAN ME
My parents are moving back to the states soon and the fix-er up-er house they bought needs some major work done to it. It would be the best housewarming present ever! (After I took it for a trial run of course!)
Genesee says
CLEAN ME!
Spring Cleaning huh? Is it already time for that? Kidding! In preparation for the sale of our first home, we have been cleaning everything. My husband is a closet stuffer, so that has been our biggest challenge (I mean, who doesn’t love to look in the closets when looking at homes? To me they are a big selling point and reflect the personalities of the former home owners, clean and organized means they took care of the place and had pride in it).
Iwould love the pet hair broom (well both), that should be a separate giveaway!
Amanda says
Clean Me!
We are planting a garden for the first year, so getting the garden beds ready and starting the seeds.
Melissa says
CLEAN ME
I’ll be purging closets of little-worn items to donate to Goodwill and organizing what’s left for a fresh start this spring!
Bree says
CLEAN ME!
Our vacuum just tanked a few weeks ago and we’ve been procrastinating on spending the money to buy a new one. We settled for a $10 second-hand find that has been doing the job.
There’s just some things that we can’t stand dropping money on… and a vacuum is one of them. This freebie would be a God-send.
Sasha says
Clean me!Please, please clean my carpets! I have a long haired cat and an English bulldog that sheds all the time. For spring cleaning I am always sure to clean the windows and walls at the bulldog level because her sneezes end up everywhere! Kinda gross, I know.
Amy A. says
CLEAN ME! I have the grand plan to purge my entire house. So, once I clear out the crap, I’ll need to vacuum all that new space!
Molly says
CLEAN ME!!! I usually hate spring cleaning but because of the bun in the oven my nesting instincts are kicking in this year! So far the baseboards and hardwood floors have been cleaned….we’ll see what I have the energy to tackle next :)
Jenny Hix says
CLEAN ME
Cleaning out the flower beds and getting them ready for flowers!
janet says
Clean me!
We’re actually moving to our first house this spring, so I’m not so much cleaning as packing…but I am trying to edit!
abby says
CLEAN ME.
we are bordering on crazy cat people with THREE cats (two long haired maine coons and one fat calico). there are fur tumbleweeds floating around our wood floors pretty much constantly, and our old vac isn’t cutting it.
i do a decent job decluttering my closet and wardrobe every three or four months, but our office is on my radar next. with a little one on the way, the office will be converted into a nursery, so all of the nonessentials must go! it’s a tough job because i’m a practical, get-rid-of-everything type and my husband is a little bit of a pack rat.
Becky says
Clean me!
I am gearing up to spring clean my closets!
Jennifer B says
Clean Me!
I’ve already started cleaning the plantation shutters that are magnets for dust, cobwebs and dog hair. I wish they made Static Guard for wood furniture and blinds.
Matthew says
CLEAN ME
Started shopping for new shrubs this weekend!
Keith says
Clean Me!
Getting the grill out for some backyard BBQs.
infernalmachine says
CLEAN ME!
This weekend we had a gorgeous day here in Toronto so I cleaned the balcony! You would be amazed how many lady bug shells and pine needles managed to accumulate there over the winter!
As for the inside of my apartment, my white-furred cat makes sure to spread his love all over my black area rug! We love you too.
Kelli says
CLEAN ME!!
2 dogs = lots of dog hair!
Spring cleaning plans include flowers in the front yard and clearing out the “junk” drawers.
Delayn says
CLEAN ME!
I am tackling the garage. I’ve spend several hours on it so far.
Cassie @ the Ringls says
CLEAN ME!!!
I’ve started going through all our clothes and starting a goodwill pile of things we didn’t wear this winter. If it wasn’t worn these past few months, it’s getting donated.
Kayduh says
CLEAN ME!
I have been purging since January 1st! I have donated 7 bags so far and another one is almost full!
This would be a great win for me because the on/off button on my vacuum just died, so it’s always on!
Clara says
CLEAN ME!
We moved into a new home approximately two weeks ago. Our vacuum cleaner died a week later. It did a terrible job on our carpets, and we’d known for a while that we needed a new one. So Bissell’s giveaway — yay to YHL and Bissell both! — is perfectly timed. I’m keeping all fingers crossed…
Jeri B says
Clean me!!
Chelsea says
Clean Me!!!!!
We are in full spring-cleaning mode here in Hockeytown with carpets being CLEANED, kid’s closets purged for a hand-me-down swap, and the backyard being rid of all the “presents” that our big sheepdog has left us during the winter!
Kim says
Clean Me! Please! I started my spring cleaning back in February – wishful thinking one of our many snowed-in weekends. :) Last weekend I tackled my fiances “paper/junk corner” and this weekend I tackled our closet – you can actually walk in without tripping now!
My fiance tells our friends that cleaning is my favorite hobby, so it came as no surprise that I’ve already started moving furniture out (tough to do in such a small apartment) to clean behind everything before it’s time to really get to work!
If only I had a vacuum cleaner that sucks! Ours barely picks up the dust, so I end up sweeping, vacuuming and swiffering to try and get all the dust…it never lasts for long! I’d love to have a vacuum cleaner that does the trick. We’re hoping to get another dog soon (my rescue dog died a few years ago and we’ve been waiting until after we get married to get another one), and that broom would be amazing!
Fingers crossed! :)
Cheryl says
Clean Me!
Pictures — lots of family pictures need to be sorted through and organized. I already took all pictures out of family albums and frames and I categorized pictures into general areas. Next I must decide which pictures will go into an online photo-book that I will have printed for each child (three grown children) and then organize the rest of the pictures to put in each of their memory-boxes (which I created and organized last year–HUGE project). Lots of scanning ahead as many of these pictures were taken before CD’s and I no longer have the negatives. I would much rather clean any closet or even clean the entire garage!
Katie says
CLEAN ME! This time of year, the snow is finally starting to melt, so my biggest routine consists of picking up all the strange things that somehow collect in the yard over the winter and get covered by snow.
Shanna says
CLEAN ME!!!!!
We desperately need a new vacuum and broom! This is perfect for our cocker spaniel!! Spring cleaning is getting rid of clothes, cleaning out closets, the garage and drawers. Good times!
Kalee says
CLEAN ME!!! Currently I am scrubbing down the whole house, floors, walls, windows, etc. Feels like a good workout and makes my house shine!
Claire says
Clean Me! I really need a good vacuum with an allergic husband and a shedding cat. We have cleaned the entire house in prep for selling. We hope it sells soon!
Andrea says
CLEAN ME!
My two dogs are doing a number on my new house – even with the beloved KRUV for everyday quick clean ups! Can’t wait to try this vac.
sarah says
spring cleaning this year will involve the garage and patio
Jaklyn says

Our latest spring initiative is a balcony vegetable garden! Cannot wait for the freshness.

I clean anything and everything w/ vinegar – all natural!
Shriya says
CLEAN Me!
Getting rid of all the stuff we dont use anymore ranks high up in my list now.
Kelly says
CLEAN ME!!!!
I NEED to get some spring cleaning routines in the works… de-cluttering the closets and pantry will be at the top of the list!
Cassie says
CLEAN ME!
We have a large English Mastiff with allergies so I’m constantly cleaning up dog hair. I also plan to do the usual spring cleaning {windows, closets, pantry, rarely used items, etc…}
erica says
CLEAN ME!
i just tried to clean our kitchen faucet by soaking it in water w/denture tablets….didn’t really work out so well :(
Michelle says
Clean me!
I’m cleaning the garage and getting the kids to help me purge some toys…then it will be time for a yard sale!
Catherine G. says
CLEAN ME!!!
I need to tackle the garage… ugh! On top of the regular spring cleaning.
Kate G says
CLEAN ME!
I like to give the bathroom and kitchen grout a good clean and I also clean out the closets. Anything not worn in a year has got to go, and a good dusting of all surfaces.
MandeeFoFandee says
CLEAN ME!
we have tons of spring cleaning to do, especially since we just moved to our new house in December. and so spring cleaning to me means finally getting all that crap out of the garage and putting everything in it’s proper home!
sarah says
clean me!
Garret says
CLEAN ME! My task this spring is to prepare the backyard for a small vegetable garden and plant the rose bush we bought.
Colleen says
CLEAN ME!
Lots of cleaning and prepping the house for a baby in the works!
Jess says

I’m getting married this Saturday and the reception is in the backyard. I don’t have an annual spring cleaning ritual, but I’m making up for it right now! Now all I have to do is maintain- easier said than done!

This freebie is awesome! we totally need a new vacuum right now because we have 3 lil ones..dogs that is..spring clean consists of washing EVERYTHING at home =)
Kathy says
CLEAN ME!
We’re doing the opposite of spring cleaning. With a kitchen renovation starting in the next couple of weeks, things will be getting a lot dirtier and dustier around the house!
