***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!
We just gave the garage a huge makeover with lots of shelves and places to hang everything. Now I will be working on all the windows and baseboards, fun stuff!
Jessica says
CLEAN ME
Your closet organizing did inspire me this weekend, thank you! We have planted a garden for the past three years and usually start plants inside. This year we’re in a bit of a pickle though because we’re house hunting and hope to be under contract by April!
Andrea says
CLEAN ME!!
I love spring cleaning…it gets harder every year with twins who are now 3, but I love the look and smell of sparkling clean home!
Astrid says
CLEAN ME!
We started last weekend with a good garage sweeping session and will continue this weekend with an extra thorough closet cleaning extravaganza.
Annika says
CLEAN ME
My typical spring cleaning is to tackle the windows and the outside. I need to put in new wood chips, weed, and get the landscaping in order. And…the dreaded task of picking up all the dog poo!
Jenna says
CLEAN ME!
Well, since we just bought a house, this baby has gotten the ultimate “spring cleaning” as in, it is now clean top to bottom!
Geralyn says
CLEAN ME!!
Spring cleaning? I love to clean all the time.
Heidi H. says
Clean me!
I am inthe midst of redecorating/cleaning. It takes a mess to clean a mess! But really, I’m working from top to bottom in every room. It’s great!
Kate M says
CLEAN ME!
Our spring cleaning this year is continuing to get settled into our new house. I’m finally ready to tackle the boxes that we put into the closets (I think!). We’ll also be cleaning up our garage, which has items left from the previous owner.
Ed says
Clean Me!
I just do whatever the wife tells me to do, which mostly involves handyman-type tasks.
Melissa says
CLEAN ME!!!!!!
3 indoor kitties+ a honey who works out side all day + a vacuum that doesn’t suck = a very long spring cleaning!
Christine says
CLEAN ME!
We need to do a deep cleaning this year–the basement needs to be organized!!!
Stephanie says
CLEAN ME!!
Getting ready to clean the closets and give away all the things that are no longer well loved. :)
paige says
CLEAN ME!
We are moving so EVERYTHING is getting cleaned up and thrown out! I love it.
paige says
CLEAN ME!
Becca says
CLEAN ME! I am 4 weeks away from baby #3 and have had some serious nesting/cleaning urges – I had my other two kids and their cousins helping me wash my windows inside and out and I am about to tackle the closets. Can’t wait!
JeriP says
CLEAN ME. Soon I need to wash the windows but since it is raining I can wait a bit.
Amanda says
CLEAN ME! I am currently cleaning out closets, but it isn’t turning out to be very cheap ($50 at Walmart already for tubs, ect). I hope your upcoming post includes the best places to find storage bins and all that fun stuff too! :)
Bonnie says
clean me!
We are into cleaning our closets now!
Thanks for the great giveaway!

KC says
Clean Me!
This vacuum and broom would help me clean up after my dog- my all seasons cleaning project!
Jen says
CLEAN ME!
We are in desperate need of a new vacuum cleaner — the current one is not functioning in some areas and the newly acquired wool rug is sucking the remaining life out of the thing. . . .
As for spring cleaning — the backyard patio is on the agenda for this weekend!
Morgan says
CLEAN ME!
I’ve just finished posting a good chunk of my why-haven’t-I-worn-this-yet clothing on ebay. Time for spring cleaning for anything that still has the tags on it or is in great shape!
sara says
CLEAN ME
garage sale…big garage sale
Nora says
Clean ME!
We are letting the cleaning go by the wayside, since we are setting seeds and planning our garden layout, and also constructing a chicken coop. This means that when we DO get to the vacuuming, we need a heavy hitter to catch up.
Megan says
CLEAN ME!!!!
Whitney says
CLEAN ME! I’m currently in the somewhat painstaking process of donating all of those clothes that haven’t seen the light of day since who knows when!
Miranda says
clean me!
Ilse says
CLEAN ME!!!! As I was disassembling and then reassembling my vacuum this weekend, I thought “i need a new vacuum” so this is perfect although so many comments so far! Aside from cleaning my vacuum, I cleaned out the pots on my deck a few weeks ago, getting them all ready for plants for the summer!!!! YAY!!!
Stephanie H says
CLEAN ME!
I hope to clean all the baseboards in our house sometime soon…
Nicole says
clean me!!!
our spring cleaning this year is getting our house ready to sell it! we are hoping to list it in the next two weeks!
Kara says
CLEAN ME! We are just now starting to have some spring-like weather, so my first step in our spring cleaning is just opening those windows wide and letting the fresh air in! :)
Margie says
CLEAN ME!
We are getting the screens out in readiness for mosquitoes. Seems an impossibility at this point, but it will come eventually.
Jaime says
CLEAN ME please! :)
Our spring cleaning definitely involves the usual window washing, blind-dusting, extra blanket washing/storing away…but this year, I think we’re going to tackle the garage. We just moved last summer, and completed a bunch of home-improvement projects since then – adding a bunch of new tools to our garage, and a bunch of random junk, too!
Love your blog! (Seriously, I check it twice daily…and am considering sending in a reader redesign on our bathroom remodel…maybe!)
Anne says
CLEAN ME!! I am cleaning out my closet and every other aspect of my life! I’m moving in May… can’t wait!
Karen says
Clean ME! My Spring cleaning rituals began last weekend. Cleaning the light fixtures, washing the drapes, cleaning out closets and bookshelves.
Lisa G. says
Clean me! I could go to TOWN with this rig!
Sarah Cool says
CLEAN ME! Oooh ooh, clean me! This is perfect timing, as I’ve been slowly poking my nose into researching a new vacuum!
Margaret says
CLEAN ME!
No time for spring cleaning, as we are keeping up with 2 toddlers which means EVERY day is spring cleaning day. I’m off to suck up Cheerios now.
Katie says
CLEAN ME
We have loads of housecleaning projects under way – we started with the closet cleaning over the weekend and this weekend it will spread to the dreaded hallway closet. Gotta get ready for the little one one the way, and all of the accessories that babies seem to arrive with.
cynthia says
Clean Me!
I don’t really have a spring cleaning ritual. I clean all the time and maybe that’s because I have a 2 1/2 year old but I do love things to be organized. So I’m always trying to figure out ways to save space and organize at the same time.
Jessica Y says
CLEAN ME!!
The garage always seems to get crazy over the winter months and is the first thing that needs to be organized in the spring.
Susan says
CLEAN ME!! I always spend the week between Christmas and New Year’s cleaning out and organizing every inside nook and crannie to start the year off right. That way when March rolls around I can start with the outdoor crannies :)Right now I am working on the inside of my window sills, repainting the outdoor porches and glossing our driveway.
Julie M says
CLEAN ME! I am planning on tackling all the closets in my house! Yikes!

I am amping up to clean the inside of the oven before we move…. unfortunately we rent an apartment and there is no self cleaning oven to speak of…

Megan says

organized my socks this morning, because Baby arrives May 1st and I am nesting too! (sparkling sock drawer may not help Baby, but I sure feel better)
PS does anyone know how to darn socks? Waste not, want not.
alisha says

It’s all about garage and basement organization.
Megan says

We are starting to clean our closets. We deff. need to clean the windows. I love spring cleaning!!!!
Kim Blocker says
CLEAN ME!!
My Spring Cleaning ritual is one by one emptying out closets and cupboards and eliminating anything that hasn’t been seen since last Spring and any other junk that has accumulated before putting everything else back in an organized fashion.
