***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!

Jennifer Gessner says
CLEAN ME! Outdoor time! The weather is warming up and we’re getting ready to get our backyard in shape for some serious relaxing this spring & summer!!
Kaitlin says
CLEAN ME (PLEASE)!
We live in a very old house with a very sheddy cat – this vaccuum would be perfect for getting all the dust and cat hair that accumulates through our long Canadian winters.
Love your blog!
Kayla says
CLEAN ME!!
I’ve got to wash the windows, clean out the garage, and commit to gardening this year. Every year I say I’m going to make our yard beautiful and I never do – that’s going to change this year!!
Hillary says
CLEAN ME!
I use Martha Stewart’s checklists for stuff you should do every spring, etc. to help guide the process!
Andrea Masterson says
CLEAN ME!!
We have lots of spring cleaning to tackle- windows are next.
We are perpetually dealing with pet hair and vacuuming regardless of the season- we have 2 dogs, a cat, and now a baby on the way. We’re due just before you guys- May 12th.

Tiffany says

I am a total nerd because I love spring cleaning. I make the fiance go out for the day I turn up the tunes and clean every nook and cranny. My cleaning starts on Saturday! Its a lot of work but the results are worth it.
Michelle says
CLEAN ME!!! =D No special rituals going on at our house — we just clean when need be. Although, not a cleaning ritual per se, I get really crazy about making my bed. Half the time I don’t because it has to be absolutely PERFECT if I make it. Every sheet, cover, pillow has it place. Must be tucked in just right. It literally takes me about 10 minutes to do this one simple task. =P
Samantha says

Will soon be re-potting some plants on our balcony – that’s about the only “yard” work we can do, living in a Chicago high-rise…

We have relatives coming in about a month so the cleanup countdown is on! We have already done a closet sweep and took a bunch of stuff to the Salvation Army, and we have organized the pantry.
Bonnie Fox says
CLEAN ME.
I have an English SPringer Spaniel and she sheds horribly. She is really bad this time of year and in August. Anything to help clean up the doggie hair would be wonderful. I love spring and spring cleaning. We have a 3 season sunroom. I am itching to open it up. My husband was repairing a few spots on the ceiling then will add a fresh coat of paint. We will be back in my favorite room soon enough.
Diana says
CLEAN ME!
I’ve started cleaning the drawers and closets as well as my Spring garden clean-up. Finally got all my rose bushes pruned this weekend. I can’t wait to see the extra room in my closets and drawers once I get through all my cleaning and purging.
Liz says
CLEAN ME!
Our spring cleaning is consisting of getting all our unfinished projects done. We just finished our subway tile backsplash, next it’s off to tackle the dozens of remaining projects!
Rick says
Spring cleaning is going to start in my car! Man it’s dirty.
Carmen says
CLEAN ME!
Ben says
CLEAN ME!
It’s just me in a giant 1500 square foot house, and my brother recently moved out of the house. I moved from the small bedrooms into the master, and moved all of his stuff from the master into another one of the smaller bedrooms. This spring, it’s all about getting my old bedroom, and the bedroom with my brother’s stuff cleaned out and ready for guests, family, or whoever needs to crash over. Of course the usual washing of the windows, purging of the bookshelves and of course–the closet.
Jen Wallace says

Lindsey says
CLEAN ME!
Definitely need to clean off our patio of firewood and junk tha thas collected over the winter.
I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I win this one! My Kenmore vacuum just died :( Probably because I have to vacuum the floors and furniture twice of week because of our human-like dog.
julia says
Clean Me
I have GOT to get my windows cleaned. I haven’t done it in five years and never really thought much about it but this year I look outside and all I see is how dirty my windows are! So as soon as the weather is warmer out I go with my bucket and sponge.
Amanda says
CLEAN ME!
My favorite spring cleaning ritual is “opening up our front porch”. We practically live on our front porch all summer long, but first we have to power wash the floors, wipe down all of the surfaces, and bring out all the furniture.
claire says

Ana says

Jaime says
CLEAN ME!!! I’ll be working on purging my husband’s office this spring and getting it ready for some fresh paint, new furniture, and organization galore.
Tamisha says
CLEAN ME!
Spring cleaning rituals? Washing windows. Opening up the storms. Changing from winter sheets to cool percale sheets. Planning the veggie garden. And just being outside in the sunshine!
Carolyn says
CLEAN ME!!! PLEASE! :)
My favorite spring cleaning activity is windexing all the windows, and then opening them to let in the fresh spring air! It is our first summer with a yard, so I am guessing gardening will be added to that list as well!!
Laura M. says

We have to start working on the yard. The outside is our main focus this year. But I hate gardening!
p.s. YAY Team Canada!
Shannon says
CLEAN ME!
Seriously, I currently use a dustbuster to vacuum my carpet and it totally sucks…
I like to go through the winter clothes and purge stuff I NEVER wore.
I seriously hope I win this..you have NO idea!! :O
ps. Isn’t vacuum the weirdest word to spell in the English language?
Gloria says
CLEAN ME! Spring around our house involves switching out wardrobes – cold weather to warm weather. With four kids, I take a day for each child. We go through winter clothes and save things that might fit for next year, or for hand me downs. Then we go through the “grow into” box to see what we have for the upcoming season and what needs there are. Then, when the kids are all ready to go, I can swap out my closet!
Brenner says
Clean me!
I’m cleaning my closets too!!!
Alison says
CLEAN ME!
I always clean out my closets at the start of spring… gets rid of all of those random winter things that tend to accumulate!
Megan says

Cleaning out the closets as we speak! Donating to Goodwill!
kari says

I love working out in our little garden and getting it ready for Spring, all the anticipation for flowers and humming birds is one of my favorite things.
Emily M says
CLEAN ME!
This is our first spring in our first house. So it’s time to start traditions! We’re not so much cleaning, but we have been tiling, painting, and spackling! Our 2 dogs would LOVE this giveaway!
Lacey says
Clean me!
We are preparing for our first baby and trying to get our house into sellable condition to boot! So I’m trying to organize and box up the mess that is the basement, paint all the molding in the house and maybe give a fresh coat to all the rooms as well, wash the windows, clean out the closets and toss all the clothes I never wear, and get the garden ready for planting too (you know, in case we can’t sell the house and need to eat!)
Phoebe S says
CLEAN ME!
This nice turn in the weather means I open windows and start organizing the ‘catch all’ drawers and cabinets. Feels good to get rid of all the excess junk around the house!
whitney says
CLEAN ME!!!
We are moving to our first home and so everything is cleaning!!
Kelly says

We just bought our dream house—a real fixer upper, so just about everything is on the list for spring cleaning. Can’t wait to send you guys some reader redesign photos!
Angela says
CLEAN ME!
I’ve already started cleaning out my closets. Next to tackle is my bathroom…
Mary Lynn says
CLEAN ME!
We’ve started sorting through our clothes to purge ones we aren’t wearing, have outgrown or are just dated. Once the snow finally melts, we’ll start prepping outdoors for our garden.
Allie B. says

Love Spring Cleaning season – each Spring I clean out my closets, drawers and other areas around the house that fill up over the year. It is a great feeling to rid the house of clutter and unused purchases to donate to the local Goodwill and Salvation Army.
