***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!!
My Spring Cleaning ritual has begun, much to the chagrin of my Husband. He still doesn’t know that I have been skimming off his pile of (what I call) “junk” because he seems to never go through it! Uh oh. Maybe I have divulged too much =)

CLEAN ME!
I performed the first step of my spring cleaning this weekend by stocking up on Mrs. Meyers products. Usually I just buy the concentrated Clean Day and dilute it for everything but the entire line was on for blow-out prices! I’ve got it all and I can’t wait to use it!
Lauren says
CLEAN ME! This year’s big goal for spring cleaning is to finally figure out how to clean the outside of our 2nd floor apartment windows.
Jay Dee says
CLEAN ME
Spring cleaning included so far washing the windows w/vinegar and water, and this weekend we will be bug bombing the house I can’t believe they’re already waking up here in New England and in my house!
Ashley says
CLEAN ME!! Next week I will be power washing my deck and garage. Plus putting together our new patio furniture!
Erin says
CLEAN ME!
I know it’s spring because the hairballs floating around the house are now larger than our cat. The hairballs are courtesy of our two Newfoundlands who are doing what they call “blowing coat,” which is indeed an accurate description. So my spring cleaning consists of combing dogs nonstop.
Gina says
CLEAN ME!
My biggest cleaning achievement recently was cleaning all of the junk out of my car and wiping down all of the surfaces. It’s completely refreshed and shows no signs of the gross pittsburgh winter. (for now)
Oonafey @ Little Pink Houses says
CLEAN ME!
Not sure if it counts as “spring cleaning”, but we are getting ready to switch out all of our storm windows for screens this weekend! Exciting…
Kari says
CLEAN ME!
Spring cleaning definitely hasn’t started yet … in Canada, it’s still the dead of winter! (Admittedly it was very nice out this past weekend … but we have to take advantage of those and not spend them indoors cleaning!).
Winnie says
CLEAN ME!
Our spring cleaning involves a lot of closet purging and window cleaning!
Anne says
CLEAN ME!
Up here in Michigan we normally have to wait till May to do our spring cleaning. But yesterday we hit 52… windows open, dust flying! Felt great!
Deena says
CLEAN ME!
My first spring cleaning job this year is my garage, then organizing the basement, lets face it, two of the biggest junk collectors the rest of the year!
Amy says
CLEAN ME!!!
My fiance and I are moving into a new place together (co-habitation here we come), and he has two cats. Being a non-pet owner thus far I have never had to deal with pet hair on my clothes, couch, bed, etc. This vacuum and broom would ease my stress! :)
My spring cleaning ritual includes cleaning out my closet and getting rid of clothes that I haven’t worn in a year or that I didn’t wear much over the winter. I do this at the end of the summer too to prepare for winter!
Heather says
CLEAN ME.. I was inspired by your Friday post regarding closets and did a major purge this weekend… I actually love spring cleaning and ever since selling a brand of chemical free cleaning products my life got much easier..
Sarah says
CLEAN ME!
We live in a small studio apartment with a cat that sheds, so the floor gets swept a lot. Our special Spring activity? Half our kitchen table is covered with sprouting seeds for the garden.
Sarah says
CLEAN ME
My fridge needs cleaned out. I think there’s something growing in the veggie drawer…
Lindy says
CLEAN ME!!!
Our spring cleaning starts with putting away all of the winter clothes and bringing out the summer clothes. Then we organize the closet, wash all of our walls, windows and fans. Then we move outside and prep the flower beds and yard for the summer.
alexa says
CLEAN ME…CLEAN ME…CLEAN ME
I am always “Spring Cleaning” and trying to go through my stuff and minimize my space on Earth. Just recently I organized my jewelry so that it’s functional and decorative. Mission Accomplished! Next…working on getting rid of mismatched photo albums and categorizing them so that I can switch them over to cute photo boxes. Not so fun :(
Mary says
CLEAN ME!
My bedroom closet is in dire need of an intensive cleaning and organzing session!
Laura says
CLEAN ME!
The FI and I are preparing to move out of the ‘rents houses and into our own apartment.. the Salvation Army will be thanking us for cleaning out our closets I’m sure!
Kelley Gerace says
CLEAN ME!! Please help me!!! For the sake of my new marriage! Well, just kidding. Things aren’t that desperate… yet. There are certain chores in this world that I just despise, vacuuming being one of them. In splitting the cleaning duties, I always opt out of this one (for my own sanity-sake). This means my husband becomes the default. Every single time he turns the thing on, he complains that it doesn’t work; it doesn’t suck up anything. So while I spend my time cleaing the entire rest of our place, he is vacuuming… the whole time! To complicate matters, my husband and I just purchased a new home. Now we need to get our apartment clean as a whistle before we leave, and we also need to clean our new house before moving in. Can you imagine the vacuuming complaints that are about to transpire?!?!?! I think I may be forced to take on part of this job so he doesn’t go crazy! We definitely need the help of a trusty vacuum, rather than ours that is better at accumulating dust than it is at sucking it up!!! Thanks!
Heather says
CLEAN ME!!! I love opening the windows and cleaning away! I have to clean out the closets this time! :)
cm says
CLEAN ME!
Taking a break from cleaning the blinds.
Kate says
CLEAN ME
I’ve already started the spring cleaning season by trying to get my vacuum in shape! That usually involves me turning it upside down and trying to use scissors to cut through all the hair that gets caught on the roller underneath. Ironically, it’s not my dog’s hair – it’s all mine! I shed more than a Schnauzer!
Marina says
CLEAN ME!
The first major Spring Cleaning project we started this past weekend is a new coat of white paint on our picked fence. After that, new mulch in the flower beds.
Angela C says
CLEAN ME!
I like to go through stacks of papers sitting around and throw away any receipts I no longer need and make sure I’ve completed the projects I meant to get to. Donating clothes I haven’t worn in the last year or two also frees up closet space and lets me re-discover clothes that got buried.
Brooke says
CLEAN ME!! Spring cleaning brings washing down all the windows and walls and touching up paint.
Erika says
Clean me!
I’ve been doing a lot of what a good friend called “nest-busting” where you go through all of the neglected cabinets, nooks and crannies and give them a good dose of organizing!
This past weekend I found four yet-to-be-unpacked (from our move 4 months ago) boxes in our bathroom cabinets and went to town. We now have 4 hyper-tidy (a la Monica from Friends) cabinets with equally impressively organized drawers. Sigh. It a beautiful sight!
Naomi Lee says
CLEAN ME
Spring cleaning – my favorite time of year! I kid.. I kid. My ritual begins by cleaning out all closets and letsputeverythinginit drawers and washing all windows :)
Erin R says
“CLEAN ME”
I started a mass dusting effort inside and an ice-chopping-the-end-of-the-driveway effort outside. I also want to clean the screens, we’ll see how ambitious I am!
Sarah Whiteway says
CLEAN ME!
We’re in the process of moving so our spring cleaning this year involves packing everything up… and at the moment the place looks amazingly messy. But it does give us an opportunity to get rid of a lot of clutter that we’ve amassed in only 3 years!
Tracy says
Clean Me! You have no idea how perfect this would be for our house. We recently moved into a 100 year old house that collects dust like none other…it must be all the old creaks and crannies! Plus, our dog and cat add to the mess.
As for spring cleaning, this weekend I cleaned to oven, cleaned the windows, and finally got a chance to wash our car…yeah for the first sunny weekend in months!
Patti says
Clean me.
Swept off the back deck last night and now I’m ready to grill!
megan says
CLEAN ME!
Our dog, Maya a siberian husky, is like my husband’s little girl. I’m not a huge dog lover, but I tolerate her hair because I love my hubby so much :) Both of these prizes would be such a huge help with her out of control hair! My old vacuum is nearing its end from daily use with her hair! I love that broom too!!!
Stacy says
Clean Me!
We always purge our closets – especially our clothes and medicine cabinet. Making a goodwill pile for things we no longer wear and cleaning out and disposing of expired cough syrup and vitamins.
And it is time to start thinking garden and yard work! Yippee! I have to scour the garage for all my garden tools – no clue where they’ve wound up after not being in use for months! One of the first things we do in the yard it put down a fresh, new layer of mulch – can’t wait!!
Amy says
Clean Me!!!
This time of year always makes me want to clean out everything I have a start fresh- drives my husband crazy!
Tiana says
Clean me!
Betsy says
CLEAN ME!
I love opening up all of the windows and letting the house air out! That gets me in the mood to clean the rest of the house :)
Suzie says
CLEAN ME!
Closet purging to goodwill — all of our winter clothes that we didn’t touch this past season or rarely wore will be given away!
Holly says
Clean Me!!!
We are going to be redoing our entire basement just in time for spring cleaning and a huge garage sale. We have so much “stuff.” I can’t wait to “simplify!”
Tia says
CLEAN ME!
We’re getting ready to de-algae the patio this weekend, plus we’ve been de-cluttering like mad!
Patty says
Clean ME!!! Please!!
The start of warm weather means the start of spring cleaning…a new bissell would be oh so helpful!
S says
CLEAN ME
Washing the windows is on my to-do list for this weekend!
Faith says
CLEAN ME!
spring cleaning is taking on a whole new meaning this year as we’re moving across country with a baby…good reason to weed stuff out!!
Regan says
CLEAN ME!! This year I’m going to clean out our garage! Hopefully I can make a few bucks selling all our stuff on Craigslist!
Elana says
CLEAN ME!!!!
We’re getting stuff ready for our annual garage sale. It’s hard work, but it’s worth it!!
JessG says
CLEAN ME!!
I’m going to go through my closet to gather a nice pile of clothes to be donated. I have plenty of other plans for spring cleaning, but we’ll see how many actually get done!!
Nicole P. says
CLEAN ME!! Spring cleaning in our home=cleaning out closets and clutter for a summer rummage sale, switching out wardrobes for our 2 young boys; they are 10 months and almost 3 so they grow out of things quickly! We also wash all windows and curtains. And this year, it will also include us re-vamping our kids playroom and refinishing/painting kitchen cabinets!
Danielle says
Clean Me!

I started Saturday with a little backyard spring cleaning. Cleaning up the yard of dog poop, exactly how I wanted to spend the NICEST day of the year so far. But it got me outside and now we can start all over :)
