***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!
Nothing underway yet since it is still winter in Chicago! But I open on all the windows on the first possible weekend day and clean EVERYTHING with music blaring and a spring breeze flowing through the house.
Elizabeth says
CLEAN ME!
I clean out my closet to make room for the warm weather clothes.
Nicole says
Clean Me!!!
My husband I are doing all kinds of spring cleaning, including getting the gard and yard ready and washing all the walls and windows. This vacuum would be a real life saver considering we have a black dog and a white dog, and they both shed.
Lara says
CLEAN ME!
I must go through the closets every spring to donate the clothes I don’t wear often enough. Otherwise it gets out of control. And, this isn’t really cleaning, but I pot a bunch of pretty spring plants and flowers to put on my windowsills (I live in a NYC apartment, so anything colorful helps).
Becky M says
Clean me….cleaning our closets to donate to charity
Kallie says
Clean Me!
We have a baby on the way (due june 3rd) so I’m already in the nesting mode by cleaning the whole house, prepping the nursery and attempting to keep the puggle hair at bay! :)
Dave C says
CLEAN ME!
katevp says
CLEAN ME!!! I am going through my massive fabric collection and weeding out the fabric that I truly will never use. Oh it will be lovely to be able to put it all away again and not have it strewn about our guest room bed!!
Lora says
CLEAN ME
I’m organizing my little girls’ closets (swapping out seasonal clothes) and organizing my craft room. Love to do both of them. Then it’s on to our windows, which I don’t love to do at all.
Amber says
Clean ME!!
Spring cleaning has included organizing all those nooks and crannies that are still messy from moving into our house a year ago. I’ve been organizing the cleaning products under the sink, the shelves in the laundry, linen closets, etc.
Up next is the garage. A couple weekends ago we donated a truck load of stuff. I’m still in the process of making the floor plan and then it’s down to business again.
PLUS – we need a good vacuum, instead of the cheap one we have from our wedding!
Mary G says
CLEAN ME!
I am gearing up to finnally address the outside of our new house (my husband and I moved in Nov 21 so we haven’t been able to get to the yard under all the snow yet). I am really looking forward to planting some flowers at my very own house!
Lucy says
CLEAN ME!!!!!
We’re remodeling our house, but don’t own a vacuum. We SO need one! We are cleaning windows, painting everything, doing plumbing, and borrowing my mother-in-law’s vacuum way too often. Oh, how I’d love to win!
Jessica says
CLEAN ME!
Can’t wait for Spring so that we can FINALLY clean our attic. I have a feeling there’s more stuff up there than we think!
Gretchen says
CLEAN ME!
Completely cleaned apartment this weekend (I don’t wanna say how long its been since the last time I did that…) But I’m looking forward to cleaning out closets and swithing out spring/winter clothing soon.
Danielle Spinato says
CLEAN ME…our floors are almost literally yelling this at us! Spring cleaning is currently underway in our home and, in addition to the usual sweeping, vacuuming, and mopping, this year we have the super fun extra step of removing paint from our hardwoods! (We haven’t yet reached the point in our reno of refinishing the floors…and we let ourselves get a little too sloppy when we painted the walls!)
Shelli says
Clean ME! I’m working on steam cleaning the carpets.
Shawna says
CLEAN ME
Spring cleaning…time to wash ALL the windows inside and out. I also go through the closets and purge anything that hasn’t been used in the past 12 months. But most of all, can’t wait to open the pool!

I’m excited to be getting my garden ready!
Ruth says
CLEAN ME!
Spring is just maybe thinking about arriving here in MD – so have not yet started full swing yet. But with our new granite countertops coming, I’ve started with the kitchen. And thinking of adopting a senior dog later this year, so the pet hair broom would be AWESOME!
Sarah says
CLEAN ME!
windows, windows, windows – I absolutely dread cleaning windows but love how they look when done.
Annie says
CLEAN ME!
Selecting items for our annual garage sale.
Stephanie says
CLEAN ME!
I have a small closet, so every spring I pack away all the winter clothes minus a few sweaters and jeans in case it gets chilly and pull out the spring/summer clothes. I donate clothes I didn’t wear that winter to the Goodwill!
Kelly V. says
Clean Me!!
Oh please do because our vacuum bit the dust on Sunday and I desperately would love not to spend $$ on a new one! As far as spring cleaning, it’s time to clean out our closet and to spruce up our porch with a good scrub :) With this warmer weather hitting the east coast, it may be soon that this all occurs!
Chelsea says
CLEAN ME!
Windows, cupbards, and a big house purge!
deirdre says
CLEAN ME!
I clean out my closets, and reorganize all my crafting supples. With sewing, quilting, knitting, etc…it gets pretty messy! I just about threw my old vacuum out this weekend because it’s so horrible, so this would be really nice!
Liz says
CLEAN ME!
This spring we are prepping our house so that we can sell it, so our closets and garage are receiving a major reorganization and deep clean. We also have two dogs that shed a ton of hair, and cleaning/vacuming around the baseboards and wall edges is an absolute must!
Julie says
CLEAN ME
Our garage is getting completely organized someday very soon!
Alexa F. says
Clean me!
I’ve been clearing out the kitchen of things we don’t need and next up either the media/office wall (we need a very long desk) or the closet (needs better storage/organization options). I’ve been on the lookout for a smallish and cheap full vacuum since all we have is a small handheld right now (similar to your small one).
Veronica says
CLEAN ME!
Because of the beautiful sunshine today, I am totally starting my spring cleaning early! We have company coming this weekend for my daughter’s birthday, so gotta get movin’!
I like to go through one room at a time and clean from floor to ceiling. No moving on til that room is done. You take one room each day, I can be done in a week!
Britten says
CLEAN ME
Cricket says
CLEAN ME! I started yesterday giving the kitchen floors a good scrubbing even underneath the oven. I wish I had something to suck up all the dust,dog hair and food. I ended up using wet wipes when a vacuum or broom would have helped!
Melodi says
CLEAN ME!
Part of my spring cleaning is cleaning the windows, inside and out, and closets.
Emily T says
CLEAN ME!
Like you two, my husband and I are expecting our first little bean in June and have been doing lots of cleaning and chores around the house. We’ve purged closets, are in the midst of a half bath remodel, we’re building out a closet turned desk/workstation for when I work from home after the bean! I want the vac!!!
Mary-Kathryn says
Clean me!
I am in the market for a new vaccuum because I am adopting a Labrador this month–and I just know my current vaccuum isn’t going to cut it once I bring the furry new addition home! I also tend to spoil dogs by letting them on every piece of furniture, so the on-board attachments on the Bissell would be great! While I’m certain I won’t win the giveaway (as my chances are currently less than a tenth of a percent with two days remaining–yes, I’m a nerd), I will definitely look into purchasing this vaccuum and pet hair broom!
Elizabeth says
CLEAN ME!
We are in the process of closet cleaning.
Anna says
CLEAN ME!
We love to open all the windows and go through each room and make sure every surface is sparkling! I can’t wait to get into the garden this year too!
Catherine M. says
CLEAN ME!
Through some combination of pre-baby nesting and spring cleaning I recently took over the kitchen. I cleaned the fridge from top to bottom and washed down all the cabinets. Can’t wait to move on to the next project!
Missy says
This will be our first spring in our first house sooo I’m looking for direction as to how to start!
Summer says
Clean me.
I have been working on getting the garden ready, so excited!
Erin says
“CLEAN ME”
Ritual every nite before bed! You will understand this one soon enough…I vacum my entire downstairs. We have a 7, 4 who carry, drop, anything and everything from outside and with a 10 month old that has just learn to crawl its a dangerous place out there.
Danya says
CLEAN ME!!
My Puggle loves me and I love my Puggle and we both like to snuggle. That’s why my couch, my floors, my everything needs this vacuum!
My spring cleaning obsession revolves around the kitchen, I have a creepy love of removing everything from the cabinets and drawers (especially the silverware drawers) and running the vacuum hose in all the corners. Just another reason why I need this Bissell. :)
Kristi Jones says
Clean me!!!!! :)
Our Spring cleaning project for 2010 is actually cleaning up our 2 year old’s bedroom to make room for his NEW baby SISTER in June. So we’ve been cleaning out the closet, new fan, new window treatments, and rearranging like crazy so 2 can fit into 1 room!
Lindsay says
CLEAN ME!
…and reading everyone’s spring cleaning tasks has me thinking my house must be GRUBBY! ;)
Laura H says
CLEAN ME! My spring cleaning will take place with all windows and doors open! Nothing like natural light to help you really see the before and after effect!
Carolyn says
It’s funny this should come up today. I just cleaned my very large mudroom closet this morning and I spent the afternoon admiring it. I have been smiling all afternoon. We are a family of four but somehow I found 11 pairs of ski goggles. I donated (already dropped off) many jackets, snow pants, hats and mittens that we have grown out of. I measured the cubbies in the mudroom to get boxes that I can put it to keep the junk from showing. Cleaned all the dustbunnies that had accumulated off the floor as well. Tomorrow… my son’s room!
liz says
CLEAN ME!
Our whole house is like one gigantic spring cleaning project just waiting to happen – but in the interests of avoiding insanity, we’re trying to narrow it down. We spent part of last weekend priming our office closet – next weekend? The top coat!
sarah says

We are having a garage sale soon to get rid of junk!
