***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!! PLEASE!
We stole our friends’ idea titled “The Saturdays of Spring” where on each Saturday of spring we declutter and deep clean one room in the house. That way we’re thorough but it’s not overwhelming. At the end, we either have a stuff swap party with friends, huge yard sale or donate it all to a worthy cause.
Heather says
CLEAN ME!
I’m going to be paring down this spring by donating a lot of older winter gear and simplifying as much as possible. My fiance and I are planning on moving soon and the less we have to move the better!
Dani S. says
Clean me! I cleaned out my closet and hosted a clothing swap with my friends. Now it’s time to wipe down the window sills!
Lindsay says
CLEAM ME!!
Shreya says
CLEAN ME!
We just moved into a new home, so this year’s spring cleaning will hopefully be relatively simple!
Meg M says
CLEAN ME!!!!
We haven’t begun spring cleaning yet, but I’m dying to go gung-ho (with the windows wide open — love getting the fresh air in and the stale air out!). I’m also excited to start my first garden since childhood. :-)
Yvette Sharpnack says
CLEAN ME!!!
We just purchased a Dyson, but would love to make it jealous with this puppy.
Kenesha says
CLEAN ME…I want to just trash every item that is on my bedroom floor, but I think the hubster wouldn’t like that!
Kim says
CLEAN ME!
We just moved in, so I’m still tidying up and getting rid of things we don’t need to keep. And ironically enough, my vacuum just shut down on Saturday. :(
Heather says
CLEAN ME!!
Like a few others have said, this will be our first spring in our house. I am most excited about getting our garden ready and working in the yard! I’m hoping to try composting too (thanks to your informative posts)!
Of course, our windows and base boards need a good cleaning too!
Katy says
CLEAN ME! Spring cleaning means cleaning out closets!
MKerwin says
CLEAN ME!!!
This would rock. I have allergies, and two cats and spring arrived WAY early in Washington this year, so a HEPA would help out so much :S
Jenna W says
Clean me!
I’ve already gone through all the closets and storage areas to clean out all the junk. Next will be the outdoor stuff, but since I’m all the way up in Minnesota I will have to wait until the snow melts!
Melanie says
Clean Me!
This weekend, spring cleaning mode was officially on. Started out with a scrub of the fridge, reorganizing our storage room, and going through clothes to decide which will be given to Good Will. I secretly love organizing, so it was a good time…
Darci says
Clean me!
Every spring, I clean out my closets, purge my sewing room stash of fabric, clean the windows (inside and out) and deep clean the kitchen – I don’t enjoy doing it all, but it feels so good when it’s done!
Jill says
Clean me! I’d like to organize our storage shed, but haven’t gotten to it yet since been busy enjoying the warmth here in New Orleans.
HUMBER says
CLEAM ME! PLEASE!
In our Spring Cleaning Ritual we start by going straight to the source… our Cat. She has been vacuumed several times in the last week and her fur was brushed numerous times. She absolutely loves the process and believe me it make it so much easier on everyone else in the household.
She is the most beautiful British Blue (long hair) that sheds in Spring like any other furry pet… Now that she is vacuumed, I can tackle the rest of the house. I’m up here in Canada, so are you sure the Spring is on it’s way?
LOVE your Blog!
Kira says
CLEAN ME!
I’m a purger. For me, spring cleaning means getting rid of all the junk I accumulated over the year. And it feels so good…
Karrie says
Clean Me!
I don’t have any usual spring cleaning routines but with the abundance of sunshine that spring brings, I do more cleaning than usual. Right now I’m feeling the itch to organize every nook and cranny of our house and get rid of the junk! What is it about sunshine that brings out the clean freak in all of us?!
Pam @ Design Fanatic says
CLEAN ME!!!
Spring cleaning now underway: the entire house, basement & garden. Today I worked on trimming the liriope and getting rid of some leaves along my garden path.
Carly says
CLEAN ME!
moving into Mr. Fiance’s home this spring… now THAT will need some spring cleaning for sure! This shiny new vaccuum would help ease the transition I’m sure.
thanks for the giveaway ;-)
Andrea says
CLEAN ME!
I wish I had time to do a good spring cleaning. With a 2 year old who is always attached to my leg, I do what I can when I can get to it. Besides, playing is much more fun.
Allison Day says
CLEAN ME
Its almost time to dust the high tops of the cabinets…luckily the boyfriend is 6 4
Kara says
CLEAN ME
Ahhh… spring cleaning. Started with the deck yesterday. Cleaning silver next… dusting the house head-to-toe and continuing on my closet (thanks to your idea) rampage still to come!
Lindsey says
Clean me!
This is fabulous! I am purging like crazy lately. Anything that hasn’t been used/appreciated in the last year must go to the trash or to good will. After this process is over, on to the organizing. This vacuum would be perfect for a deep spring clean!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Liz B. says
CLEAN ME!
(please!)
It’s all about closet/garage clean-out. MM…organizing I LOVE IT!
Bring on a garage sale!
Nalini says
CLEAN ME!
Rearranged living room furniture for now, probably cleaning up closets in the bedrooms for later this week.
Amanda D. says
CLEAN ME!!!!!
My husband and I just bought a house (…well, we just moved in to the house we will buy once the closing dates stops being pushed back), so we have LOTS of spring cleaning to do. We’re remodeling the kitchen, painting every room, and ripping up all the floors. Our spring cleaning tasks are simplify and organize, donate old clothes and shoes, make a compost, get started on the garden, landscape the front yard, finish the screened in porch, etc.
Love your blog! It’s really helping us find inspiration, motivation, and hope!
Catira says
CLEAN ME!
Spring cleaning for us this year also means speed-renovating and getting ready to welcome our first child into this house! With a dog and a cat in the house our old vaccum has been working double time!! Time for a new one!
Meggan says
CLEAN ME!
Spring cleaning at our house always includes closet cleanings – a total purge of all of our wardrobes, shoes, purses, coats…all of it.
Laura says
CLEAN ME!
I can’t wait to start my spring cleaning (I find it therapeutic!) We’ve just started looking for our first home, so I hope to combine organizing, packing and cleaning this year in preparation for moving!
s leigh says
CLEAN ME!
No rituals, its an ongoing process!
Angela Alwine says
CLEAN ME! Decluttering is all I can tackle right now with a new baby. So we’ve been emptying closets and the basement of extra junk. Thanks for posting your messy closets, I always forget that bloggers’ houses don’t always look picture perfect :)
Nate Dillon says
CLEAN ME!!
We just bought a house a few months ago, so much of our spring will involve entering the fun world of gardening for the first time.
Elizabeth Strawbridge says
Nothing says CLEAN ME more than a house with 2 collies who are shedding their winter coats!!
Jackie Talbot says
CLEAN ME! We recently put our house on the market. In preparation for this listing, we made a list of all the little things that needed repair and/or sprucing up. We spent about a month tackling all of the projects on the list. Every time we would finish a project on the list, we would think…why didn’t we just do this before when we weren’t moving? So for the new house, I have implemented a new rule. Every spring and fall we will take 2 weeks to make a similar list and tackle the projects. That way we can enjoy our house while we live in it. :)
Laura says
CLEAN ME!!
With renos and a shedding dog, my floors are always furry/dirty – I could really use this!
Amy says
CLEAN ME!
We started working on the closets but I would love to get to work on our balcony….Just need it to get a bit warmer here and then we can clean and decorate out there!
Sara says
Clean Me
I’m looking forward to having all the air ducts cleaned this spring!
Tracy E. says
CLEAN ME!
I love spring cleaning all year long. Several times a year I clean out all my closets and junk drawers, and give away what is still useable or chuck the junk.
Steph says
CLEAN ME!
On the spring cleaning list: 1) Windows 2) garage 3) woodwork 4) basement 5) paint bedroom furntire…..and all that will take spring and most of summer to accomplish!
Shelley @ Green Eggs & Hamlet says
CLEAN ME!
Spring cleaning at my house means the whole house – top to bottom. Our current vacuum totally sucks (in the BAD way) so I would just die and go to heaven if I won this giveaway. The Boston Terrier fur-sucking power would be a total bonus.
Erika says
CLEAN ME!
Spring cleaning involves getting the dust bunnies under control!
Alex Mili says
CLEAN ME!
The garage is my spring cleaning project. Bought the house with a garage full of junk. Also needs paint!
