***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!

Please Clean me!!
My spring cleaning goes on year round – everytime I put away laundry I end up pulling out 5-10 things that I don’t want anymore, and they either go into a Plato’s Closet (resale shop around here) or Goodwill pile!
(Good thing I don’t put laundry away TOO often!!)
Alison says
Clean Me! My spring cleaning has involved defurring my condo. With three cats, I find hair everywhere!
Amy says
CLEAN ME!! This is our first spring in our new house, so we have a lot to do…clean everything, get more organized, get our baby room set up, plant our gardens, build a better chicken coop for our new baby chicks, design a better laundry room…that’s just off the top of my head, we have a really long list! Love your blog!!
Adele says

We just took down the old shower doors in our bathroom, and will be replacing the avocado green tile with white subway in the next few weeks.
Jillian says
CLEAN ME!!
As soon as the weather gets a little nicer we’ll be cleaning all the windows of the house inside and out. Can’t wait to get all that winter grim off of them and let the spring sun shine through!
Erin says
CLEAN ME!
This past weekend included a fridge and freezer cleaning. Next will be windows.
Kate says
CLEAN ME!
Awesome giveaway! I need one so bad b/c our vacuum sucks (not in a good way). Right now we’re re-caulking our guest bath tub, which is taking forever to remove all the old hard caulk. I could go on, but this is already starting to sound dirty.
Melanie says
CLEAN ME
Trying to clean out house of unwanted household chemicals. We bought our “fixer upper” last year and we have a long way to go before we can do spring cleaning. We are just trying to get it more livable.
Lauren says
CLEAN ME!!!!
Our house is covered in dust!!! Spring cleaning starts with dusting everything. The vaccum will be greatly needed!
Deb says
Clean me
I don’t really have spring cleaning projects – although I did shop vac the front porch and scary stuff in the unfinished basement this weekend. My big project is to finish painting the trim indoors before it gets nice enough for me to start outdoor projects – its my first spring in my new house.
And I have lots of cat hair…so the broom would be awesome.
Kate says
Clean me!
Wow – I was just cleaning my floors and checked the fab-freebie giveaway – what a great idea! I could use a new vacuum, and once late March arrives and the real cleaning begins (up here in Gold Medal Hockey Country it’s still snowy…) this would come in handy!
Cheers,
Kate
Denise says
Clean Me!
I started cleaning out my closets 1 month ago, what a difference it has made. I gave away all of the clothes that I haven’t worn in the last 2 years, and I have a pile of things to donate to Goodwill.
Heather says
CLEAN ME!
My windows drive me crazy as soon as the snow melts and the sun starts shining! I can’t wait to get outside and clean!
Ellen says
CLEAN ME!
Spring cleaning always involves cleaning out my closet and making a trip to Goodwill!
Sabrina says
CLEAN ME!
Spring cleaning? I’ve cleared my half of the master closet of stuff and junk and am reading this on a break from clearing out the kitchen (I clear the pantry every six months or so, so how could I possibly be finding food with an expiration date of three years ago?!?!?)
Allison D. says
CLEAN ME!!
We’re buying a house this month! Before we can paint and decorate, we’ve got to clean from top to bottom. A new vaccuum (it would be my first “real” vaccuum!) and a fancy broom would make it a good time!
Luke says
CLEAN ME!
I definitely need to get in the yard now and pull weeds.
Jen says
CLEAN ME!
Lexie says
CLEAN ME
With the change in weather from winter to spring, spring cleaning is on the mind! Purging closets and re-organization is always a great way to start new!
Audrey says
CLEAN ME!
We’re going to clean and repaint all of our baseboards – oh, fun. :P
Alexa says
“CLEAN ME”
I can’t wait for spring cleaning! We’ve got major closet overhauls to work on as well as some window cleaning. Out black cat is shedding more and more all over our light colored rug. We could really use a new vacuum cleaner since I’m currently using my mom’s old seafoam green Hoover Decade 80’s with edge lighting. It must weigh 30 lbs!
michelle says
Clean me!
I’m planning a swap party to clean out my closets.
Robynne {Mrs. ATC} says
Clean me!!!
My husband I recently cleaned out our closests! I only have 6 pairs of jeans, a few pairs of dress pants, black, white and gray tops and a handful of colorful cardigans! It feels so good to be able to close our closet door now :)
Andrea says
CLEAN ME! Here at our house we’ve started working in the kid’s rooms. They sorted their toys, cleaned off their dressers & bookshelves, and under the beds. Next I think we’ll get busy on the garage.
Traci says
My husband and I fly my mom out each year to help take care of our children while their school is closed for spring break. Another awesome plus of her visits? She puts those kids to work spring cleaning their rooms.
Ashley says
Clean me! So this is my first apartment and I’m still getting spring cleaning rituals set. Though it’s taken me about a year to realize that all cleaning can’t actually wait until spring……. turns out you have to vacuum and dust a bit more frequently. :)
Brandy says
CLEAN ME
I have to say, I DESPERATELY need this vacuum so our new baby isn’t digesting pet hair every second once he is born! I have the week off work so everything is getting a deep clean, including the closets! DH is working on organizing the garage!
Dana Z says
Clean Me!
It’s still to cold up here for outdoor spring cleaning so first up is tackling the closets!
Whitney says
Clean Me!
Spring cleaning for us will involve organizing cabinet space under all our sinks and making a goodwill trip!
Meagen says
CLEAN ME!
Even though spring isn’t for a couple of weeks, and the weather man uttered “chance of snow” on the news last night, Spring Cleaning projects are springing up all over. Both at work and at home, I’m known as the cleaner, and constantly straighten, organize, go through and clean anything around me. Next big project is going through closets to clean out and donate clothes, maybe a little paint job in the living room and some overall re-decorating (who says cleaning can’t equal decorating! ) Thanks & good luck to everyone!
Addy says
CLEAN ME
looks like my blinds need some attention! the worst job out there.
Franny Padgett says
Clean Me!
My husband recently bought a 1955 Ranch Style home in Southern California that was vacant for 13 years! We ripped up the carpet to find beautiful hardwood floors underneath. Unfortunately, we don’t have a vacuum, and as I’m sure you know, the dust never goes away, especially when it’s been sitting for so long! We’ve resorted to using the shop vac inside the house until we can afford a new nice vacuum, or until we win one..hint hint!
Our spring cleaning has been in full effect since September, and is going to be the theme to our first year of homeownership! Thanks for the great tips, you guys are awesome!
Karen says
CLEAN ME!
We’re thinking of getting our condo association’s social board to organize a “spring cleaning” swap meet and yard sale as a means for people’s junk to become other peoples’ treasure and raise money. Not to mention it will foster social interaction among the neighbors.
Alisha says
“CLEAN ME”
Oh my goodness! My husband and I have been talking about getting a new vac (in addition to the Dirt Devil Kurv we’re about to get too thanks to your tip) and I just told him this weekend that we needed to get this one because it got good reviews from YHL! How fun! Anyway, the only Spring cleaning I’ve really started on is dusting practically every day while electrical work is being done in our house. Next up is our bathroom remodel… I imagine the dusting isn’t going to end anytime soon?!?!? =)
Sarah says
CLEAN ME!
Spring cleaning for me includes changing from winter to summer clothes and purging before packing up, cleaning windows, touching up nicks in the paint and shaving the cat to reduce pet fur (if she’ll hold still long enough — just kidding).
NatalieW says
CLEAN ME!!!! I have a black lab who is shedding her winter coat right now!
Emily R says
CLEAN ME! Ahhh! I so need a new vacuum cleaner! Let’s see…definitely haven’t started spring cleaning yet…but I’m looking toward a closet re-haul (winter clothes out, summer clothes in) and of course on to washing the windows and getting to those pesky leaves that somehow snuck by us last fall!
Elizabeth says
CLEAN ME!
Washing all the curtains, the windows, getting my windowsill herb garden together!
Brandon says
CLEAN ME! My spring clean-out this year is going to be a Craigslist/Ebay sellathon! I have a bunch of stuff laying around the house that someone else will probably value. Maybe I can go on vacation from the extra cash flow.

We are going to have to rearrange the entire house to set up a nursery this summer! so … Clean Me!!!
