***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!!!
I’m getting ready to tackle the closet of winter clothes and switch them out for the spring/summer ones!
Sarah says
Clean me!
My boyfriend and I are in the midst of cleaning our kitchen, and I’m finally teaching him to see dirt on the counters!
Rachael Anne says
CLEAN ME!
The Bissell Pet Hair Broom looks like a dream, as our man-bear-pug sheds a pug puppy a week. Tumbleweeds haunt me.
We purchased our house a year ago, but didn’t get around to doing projects as we got married five months ago. So, we’re doing massive cleaning. Replacing the vinyl fooring in the kitchen and the pretty raunch carpet in two rooms are our main priorities.
Becky says
CLEAN ME!
My friends and I just had our annual group/family yard sale that always jump starts the spring cleaning. I love going through all the closets and weeding out anything we haven’t used in the past year. I feel so much lighter and unburdened afterwards and the extra cash never hurts!
Diane says
Clean Me!
I’m a spring closet cleaner. Actually, I’m a year round closet cleaner :)
Condo Blues says
CLEAN ME!
I moved my bed to clean behind the headboard and to flip the mattress. There were serious dust bunnies that my sweeper had a hard time picking up. Ew.
Renee says
CLEAN ME!!!
I’m super excited to get the windex out and clean the insides AND the outsides of our windows! There is nothing like sparkling clean windows to let the warm spring sunshine through!
Michelle Henderson says
CLEAN ME!
Spring cleaning??? Yeah right. We are renovating our home and I don’t even know what the word clean means. Maybe this will help?
Carrie says
CLEAN ME!
I started last weekend by cleaning out the bathroom cabinet. Next up: The hall closets!
Yulia says
CLEAN ME!
A few times a year I start a goodwill pile and systematically go through all the closets looking for items that I no longer need or use.
Britiney says
CLEAN ME! Yes! Me!
My MIL bought me a “kit” of cleaning tools from Don Aslet for Christmas. Once I got over the fact that my MIL bought me cleaning tools, and what that must mean, I was super excited to use them! One of them is a telescoping window washing tool kit and I’m so ready to clean the outside of all of my windows after looking through their dinginess for what I hope is the entire winter (meaning that I hope now I can say I’ve seen the last of it!)
Thomas says
CLEAN ME!
Eric says
CLEAN ME!
We have a sick cat and I’m constantly cleaning the carpet! This would be so much better than what we’re working with now!
lauren says
CLEAN ME!
I don’t know if you’d call it spring cleaning, since it happpens at least every couple of months, but I’ve been cleaning out closets and switching out baby clothes…and vacuumming up all the pet hair
kelly nixon says
CLEAN ME!
to be honest, i hadn’t even THOUGHT about spring cleaning, thanks for reminding me! with all the stuff we have to do around here (install baseboards in the whole house, a tile backsplash in the kitchen, landscaping) i’ll be happy if i keep the house semi-neat! there’s always summer cleaning!
Tracy says
CLEAN ME PULLLEASE!!! cause I could really use the help.. between my husband, 2 boys (who are 13 mnths apart) our dog, and babysitting budgie.. there’s lots this vacuum can help with. Spring cleaning… hmmm, I shoveled snow onto the grass to help melt it, and raked the parts that didn’t have snow.. does that count ;)
Andrea says
CLEAN ME!
Giving old clothes to Goodwill!
Katie says
CLEAN ME!
My husband and I are closing on our first home at the end of April (!!!!), so we’re in the midst of making every corner of our apartment spic-and-span so that the rental company can find a lovely new tenant.
Jolene says
CLEAN ME
New homeowner needs an upgrade!
Lori says
CLEAN ME!
I have been obsessed with my baseboards and can’t wait to get on my knees and scrub away this weekend, especially in my kitchen. I’m sure the zeal will wear off in about 10 minutes, but for now, the energy to clean feels great!
rebecca says
CLEAN ME…about to do a clothing purge around here! hello goodwill!!
Rebecca Gillespie says
CLEAN ME!
We are busy decluttering our tiny rental home as much as possible. :)
Jessica C. says
CLEAN ME!!! Just last weekend we did a major cleaning out of our master closet. We have 4 bags of clothes to take to goodwill! Such a great feeling.
Christy says
CLEAN ME!
I am currently going through each room of our house decluttering, getting rid of unneeded/unwanted items and donating them or throwing them out, depending on the condition of the items. Then, I will begin spring cleaning, which would be made easier with this vacuum cleaner!
Dana says
CLEAN ME!!! (pleaaaase?)
We are getting ready to move so this year’s spring cleaning consists of giving away/Craigslisting a wealth of furniture that has been sitting in storage and organizing our belongings for efficient unpacking. I’m a neat freak SO… this should be FUN!!!
Maria D. says
CLEAN ME! My sister is a professional organizer and owns her own business. We’ve hosted a couple clothing swap parties and they are great fun. People come and go with a ton of great finds and we donate any leftovers to Goodwill. A little sangria or spike lemonade always make the event a good time.
Jessica says
Clean me!!
We ruined our current vacuum cleaner with our first DIY home project! We are in need of a new one! Gotta get started on cleaning every nook and cranny for spring!
Susan C. says
CLEAN ME!!
I’ve been decluttering the house like a mad woman! Yard sale in a couple weeks… and unsold items will go to Goodwill!
Michelle says
CLEAN ME!
I try to clean out my closet every few months. This post reminded me that it’s time to start again!
Kate H. says
CLEAN ME!
I’m following the Lenten 40 bags in 40 days, not for any religious purpose and not actually 40 bags (our house is quite small), but just to clear out the superfluous and make room in my head for peace!
Casamacho says
CLEAN ME!
We are going to clean out our garage this weekend. Can’t wait to get that organized.
Emliy says
CLEAN ME! – I can’t wait to start washing my windows inside and out. That way – the first warm spell and I can hit the beach and not be stuck cleaning!
Sarah says
CLEAN ME!
I declutter the guest bedroom every spring, but my favorite thing is the first day that is warm enough to open all of the windows and let the fresh air in!!
katia says
CLEAN ME!
Stephanie says
With 2 small children I am in constant need of a vaccuum that works well and can clean up their daily messes. My old (and heavy) Phantom just doesn’t work as well as it should and I am in need of something that can stand up to year-round cleaning that a family of 4 requires.
Stephanie Fritz says
CLEAN ME!!
This would be amazing for us!
Natalie says
CLEAN ME!
We have already started our spring cleaning! We recently purchased our home that we had been renting from my parents for the past 2 years. It used to be my grandmother’s home, and apparently over the years people had stored several random items here. As soon as we closed on our houses, we invited all the family over to get their stuff out (in a very sweet way) so we could start making it our own!
Chelsea Payne says
CLEAN ME!!!!!!!
I have a confession to make…I love to vacuum! Something about making a mess go away in just a moment of cleaning, makes me happy; however, we have a terrible vacuum cleaner and this would really help de-clutter our lives.
April says
CLEAN ME! My husband and I just started our official vacuum hunt today (after Saturday’s cleaning sesh left the old one smokin’… in a bad way) I was super-excited to tell him that you were raving about this bagless vacuum on your site, and he asked, “How is it with pet hair?” just before John answered it in the post! Fun. So I’ve done SOME spring cleaning, but need a new vac to really get things going! Thanks for doing the giveaway!
sarah says
CLEAN ME!
Having a cocktail party on Friday, which is pushing my spring cleaning into high gear!
Kim says
CLEAN ME!
Yesterday I scooted around with my bucket and washed dog slobber and hair off all the walls and doors. Ugh! Organizing the basement is my big spring project coming up.
Emily says
CLEAN ME!
I am currently getting rid of the old and only keeping items that I truly love. Less is more :)
Daniel says
CLEAN ME!
Prior to your closet post, we actually cleaned out our linen closet, two bedroom closets, and the full size closet in our bathroom. What a great feeling!
Amanda C says
CLEAN ME!
Along with cleaning all the nooks and crannies that get overlooked in weekly cleans, I like to completely reorganize something that’s not working in my house. This is usually a closet or drawer that I take everything out of and find a new way to organize.
Natalie Anne says
CLEAN ME!
My husband and I have been cleaning out everything – kitchen cabinets, closets, the garage, etc. Most recently, I cleaned out all of our bathroom drawers and cabinets. I bought some nifty little drawer organizers and threw away everything we do not use (that could not be given away). It is SO refreshing to be organized and clutter-free!
lyn says
CLEAN ME!
Amanda says
CLEAN ME!
We’ve started spring cleaning here, beginning with the outside (transplanted some roses, planting bushes), and we’ll be starting on the inside soon. I’m hoping that includes painting our living room!
This vacuum would be awesome — we’re using a duct-taped together two piece load of bricks at the moment. Great giveaway! :)
Keri R. says
Clean Me! That pet hair brush looks awesome!
Morgan Wingerd says
CLEAN ME!
This is our first spring in our new house, I don’t even know what kind of rituals lie ahead, but I’m sure they’d be better with that sweet vacuum…
Amanda L says
Clean ME!!
I have a Shark, but I could really use a good sturdy sucker to get in nooks and crannies. My spring cleaning the past few years has involved cleaning everything off to box it up to move. This year will be no different, we will be moving in a couple of months (tops) and will have to go through the clean and pack ritual all over again.
