***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!
Just looked at the garden today … time to start preparing for Spring :)
Wendy says
CLEAN ME!
I’m generally pretty tidy, but I spent the weekend giving my closets and dressers some seasonal TLC. I re-lined my dresser drawers, organized my jewelry and made sure that all my hanging garments were back in their color array. It’s a good way to welcome the new season and also take inventory of what I have before I get caught up in a shopping frenzy.
Becky says
CLEAN ME!!
This coming weekend, we’ll be purging extra clothing/unused items in our closets and making donations to Goodwill. After that, onto the basement and garage. We’re busy little bees this spring. My hubby thinks I’m a nut though, because I actually ENJOY cleaning! What can I say? I find it therapeutic and refreshing. :)
Vanessa L says
CLEAN ME!
My boyfriend and I moved into a new apartment in January, so we’re having a housewarming party this weekend. Our “spring cleaning” is getting everything together we’ve been putting off since moving: making curtains, hanging art, de-cluttering the spare bedroom where we shoved all our empty boxes, and a surprisingly large amount more.
Katie C says
Clean Me!!!
I love to change out my spring wardrobe to replace the winter one, I usually donate a lot of clothes that I haven’t worn and feel really great about it afterwards!
Karen says
Clean Me!
Every spring my daughter and I try on all the clothes in our closets and donate all the stuff that doesn’t fit or we don’t want. Its a great way to make space and we always discover things we forgot about! We do this with shoes and furniture as well. =)
Thanks for a great giveaway.
Amy says
CLEAN ME!
My husband and I have two cats and rent a house that is 90% carpet! If you didn’t already know, carpet and pet hair do not mix. We’re hoping to buy our first place soon so we’ll be cleaning and packing this Spring! :)
Bailey says
Clean me! Our Spring cleaning ritual is all about getting the garden in order…first nice day of the year today!
Karen P. says
CLEAN ME – My new sofa was delivered on Friday and it was the impetus I needed to clean up the Living Room.
Michelle says
CLEAN ME!!
Spring cleaning started early this year, as we are expecting our first little in the next week or two. But basically included getting rid of anything that we weren’t using anymore.
darlene says
CLEAN ME! i’m kicking off my spring cleaning by going through my closet and getting rid of and/or donating all the clothes i don’t wear anymore.
Jamie says
CLEAN ME
I just started washing the windows yesterday, inside and out. What a diff!
Jonathan Smith says
CLEAN ME!
I love planting in my veggie garden. I’m planning to build some new raised beds to expand our garden from last year and then the unfinished part of the basement where I store all my tools needs some major cleaning and organizing.
Jess says
Clean Me!
No such thing as spring cleaning in my house this year,too busy with working towards our masters/doctorates.
Bridget says
Clean Me! :D
It’s just starting to warm up (i.e. highs in the 40’s) here in MN, so all I get to do is dust the house from top to bottom and air it out a bit!
Maddie says
CLEAN ME!
My husband and I are hopefully moving apartments in April that means we’ve got to start de-cluttering things now so we don’t have to pay movers to just move our junk around!
Lauren says
CLEAN ME
Every year I do the same thing you do, clean every closet and drawer or cabinet in my whole house. I like to start the warm weather months with a clean slate. It’s refreshing after winter!
Heather @ Brown Brick House says
CLEAN ME!
I spring clean about once a month, so it never gets bad.
Annie Henson says
CLEAN ME and…
We’ve begun the SPRING DEEP PURGE in our house. Spring makes us wanna throw everything out! But we try do to keep it just to the things that actually need to be removed… hahaha
Victoria@Whimsy by Victoria says
Clean Me! We have been looking at buying a new Bissell (the only kind of vacs and steam cleaners we use!)…how great would this be to win it! We could still buy another and have one downstairs in the basement and one all the way up on the top floor. We are in the middle of a remodel…so Spring cleaning is everything in sight! This would be exactly what we need to keep everything in order! Thank you for the opportunity to win!

Carrie says
CLEAN ME!!!!
Well, I can’t say I’ve ever spring cleaned (I move very frequently – the longest I’ve ever lived somewhere is 14 months), so the “deep cleaning” doesn’t really happen. But, something hit me on Saturday, and after waking up at 1 pm (oops…rough night Friday ;)), I decided I better accomplish SOMETHING during the remaining daylight hours…so I did a complete apartment sweep (minus the roomies room), and everything got vacuumed, swept, disinfected, washed, and organized and life feels better now :).
Angie says
CLEAN ME! I love spring cleaning. I am anxiously awaiting my kids spring break to get going on it!
Amy says
CLEAN ME!!!!!
I am planning on doing some serious organization this spring. Closets, drawers, garage, the whole nine. However, I’m certainly not going to tackle this until Spring Break (I’m a teacher)…and I doubt that whole list will get accomplished. Oh well…I’ll give it my best shot!
Tim S says
CLEAN ME!
We pretty much only fully clean our place when we have guests coming over, haha. Other times we vacuum and dust regularly, but don’t scrub deep down, or have a spring cleaning.
MandyP says
CLEAN ME!!
The very day I read your post about the Bissell, I ran out and bought it! And then I blogged about it!!! How fun. But, having 3 floors, it never hurts to have more than 1!!! =)
Smitha says
CLEAN ME!
Lilian says
CLEAN ME
Time to weed, edge, and mow and replace dead plants. I also take this time to inspect the fencing, yard and crawl space for any repairs that might be needed.
Lesley says
The hubby and I have been in DYI home renovation mode – replacing light fixtures, kitchen sink, faucet, re-landscaping the front yard, AND we still have lots to do – re-tiling the master bath shower, washing all the outside windows, etc.
We need help just keeping the house clean during all of our updating projects…so…puh-lease…CLEAN ME!! :)
Jacque says
CLEAN ME!!
The snow is melting and the kids are all out and about…which usually means at our house! With hardwood and tile floors, 3 teenagers on a daily basis and all of their friends coming through the revolving door, I can’t keep up as it is :) This Bissell would not only be my new “maid” but an Angel to my rescue!!! :)
Melissa says
CLEAN ME!
Tops of the kitchen cabinets are about to be degreased, dedusted, and denastified…
Carly says
CLEAN ME!
I clean weekly and I really hate my vacuum! We have all new carpet in our house so it is “shedding” which means it fills up the bags in one day!
Lauren says
CLEAN ME!!!
I haven’t started Spring Cleaning yet, but now that our first bebe is on the way, the soon to be nursery will have to get cleared out and redecorated.
I was actually very much inspired by your nursery (we’re planning on doing Green with neutral walls) and art by “Poor Dog Farm” http://www.etsy.com/shop/poordogfarm
Courtney says
Clean me!
My spring cleaning ritual is the same every year – go through all my winter clothes and purge myself of the ones I didn’t wear the past winter! It’s a good rule to keep myself from hanging on to clothes I “might” wear “one day.”
Marcy says
CLEAN ME! My vacuum cleaner is from 1995 and the 2 fur kids are shedding constantly!;)
Rachelle says
CLEAN ME!
No Spring cleaning yet…Currently I just installed shelves in the kitchen and am trying to get the counter space empty. Saving my closets for a rainy weekend in April!
Katie says
CLEAN ME!!
My pup is 30lbs, 25 of which is probably fur! We could definitely use this!
My spring cleaning is coming along – my biggest thing is cleaning out my laundry room! It’s unfinished and needs a lot of work to get put together – y’all have inspired me though!
Monica says
CLEAN ME!
Tiffany says
CLEAN ME!
We’re hiring a company called “Clean Air Solutions” to come clean out our vents/ducts/registers and check the filter in our furnace. It’s quite possible that our 50-year-old (new to us) house has never seen this type of service. Let’s all say it together: “Ewwww – gross”
CLEAM ME! says
My future husband and I just moved into our first hoe last sept. This weekend we finally had no snow and started some yard work! I cant wait to see what pops up out of the gardens…we have no clue. I hope their are tulips.
Dan Kanter says
CLEAN ME!
I’m moving into my first apartment in May and planning to get a cat shortly thereafter! After your glowing review, there’s nothing I’d love more (okay, maybe a few things) than this vacuum!
Amanda says
CLEAN ME!
We are about to move into our very own first house so cleaning/packing is the entirety of our lives currently. After 8 years of renting, many trips to the Salvation Army are being made!
Sarah W says
CLEAN ME!
My spring cleaning started with rotating my wardrobe (out with winter, in with spring!) and making a donation of clothes to Salvation Army.
Amy P. says
Clean me!
We are going to be landscaping soon, and last week I tackled cleaning out the pantry. Up next, I plan to declutter my second bedroom!
Jennifer S. says
Clean me! I love to whip open the windows and clean all the germs out of the house. We had a lot of germs this year!
Stacy Dutton says
CLEAN ME
We just purchased our very first home – it’s a 1923 Bungalow style home. Before we move in this weekend, we will be “spring cleaning” the entire home from top to bottom. Want to come over and help us? ;-)
Bianca says
CLEAN ME!
This past weekend, we started clearing out our basement and sorting through the outgrown baby clothes (ALOT), toys (A TON) and just stuff that didn’t have a proper place. We have a fairly large garage, but I refused to just dump everything in there this time without sorting it. Most of the heavy work is done, but I’m enjoying it and find it somewhat rewarding, since I can see that I’ve accomplished something huge. Plus, we’ll be renovating the basement next month. Yay!
James says
CLEAN ME! Once all the snow melts my spring cleaning will begin in the yard.
Jacquelyn Taylor says
CLEAN ME!!
Purging, purging and more purging! Then comes organizing! :)
Laurie Elaine says
CLEAN ME UP!!
So I have a vacuum cleaner, and it’s actually 12 amps. This Hoover still does not suck though, which means I would gladly offer a replacement!
I’m in NC and a week of warm weather already has me looking at my closet going “Okay – I didn’t wear that this winter at all, it’s time to go to Good Will”. There’s already a stack a foot high ready to go. And I don’t know whether it’s the weather or what, but I’ve been a lot more into cleaning my floors. And the dog is getting a hair cut, that counts, right?
JoAnn says
Clean me!
I’m thinking about starting a container garden this year. That’s the extent of my Spring rituals this year.
