***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!
Have just started to wash and swap out sweaters for shorts in the cedar trunk…
Krystal says
Clean Me please
Our spring cleaning includes wiping down the walls and mopping the floors of every room. We usually start this the end of May and it usually takes a good Two weeks to do all the rooms.
Sarah says
Clean Me! I could use a vacuum that actually picks up the cat hair and doesn’t just push it around.
Paige West says
CLEAN ME
I hate cleaning base boards and before I begin I’m thinking I might try paying my friend’s 10yr old son into coming over and scrubbing for me. After college, I cleaned my mom’s friends’ homes for extra cash; this vacuum would have been great then and I’d love it now.

CLEAN ME!
We have two wonderful dogs – a Golden Retriever and a Lab who we LOVE but who leave us with constant “tumbleweeds” of their hair. This never-ending sheding was somewhat bothersome before but now that we’re preparing for a new baby we feel more compelled to keep things cleaner and this vaccum would be a HUGE help (especially since my handy husband tried to replace the rubber belt himself and it’s too small so now our house smells like burnt rubber for a day or two after each time we vaccum). So this would help us jumpstart that spring cleaning that I know we should be doing.
Tonya says
Clean me!

Robyn Rissman says
CLEAN ME!!!
My Aussie Shepherd and I are praying for this new vacuum! Our hardwood floors get swept umpteen times a week, but we still can’t get rid of ALL THIS HAIR! Here’s hoping for a sucky new Bissell!
Grace says
CLEAN ME!
My husband and I have been married for a year and a half and we still don’t have a vacuum! My spring (and summer and fall and winter) cleaning ritual is emptying my closets and taking an IKEA bag full of things to Goodwill. I am somewhat obsessive about getting rid of things as I bring more things into the house.
corinne says
CLEAN ME! I’ve recently started working on cleaning out our backyard. We bought our house in November and inherited with it some beautiful flower beds, but messy beds at that. So this past weekend we spent all day Saturday and Sunday raking, digging, cleaning, dividing irises, and are worn slap out. I worked again this morning in the yard, finishing up the task of dividing irises and replanting them.
Patrick says
CLEAN ME!
We’ve been doing more spring-painting than spring-cleaning, but in the process of painting we end up wiping baseboards and cleaning behind furniture that hasn’t been moved in a while. That should count!
Renee says
CLEAN ME
My garage always needs a lot of attention first in the spring. Especially when we’ve had a snowy winter.
Elle says
Clean Me! Cleaning our master bedroom closet, yard and organizing EVERYTHING are our top priorities this spring.
Janelle says
CLEAN ME!
Wish I could get started with spring cleaning, but we’re still knee deep in snow…
aimee jones says
CLEAN ME
i have a vacuuming addiction as i use a vacuum to clean virtually every room in my house rather than a broom, swiffer etc. i am in serious need of a new machine that would go to a great home-PLEASE PICK ME:-)
i also have a weekly ritual of purging closets and cabinets, its so refreshing:)
Jackie M says
CLEAN ME!!!
I’ve been working on organizing all of the pages I’ve torn out of magazines over the years. Can’t wait to get out to the garden, but still waiting for the snow to melt!
Kelly says
CLEAN ME
I have already cleaned out my walk in closet and next I am going to start on my kitchen cupboards.
Shannon says
CLEAN ME
pretty please! I love to vacuum and with a puggle that sheds like crazy, it’s impossible to keep up with all the hair. I’m in the process of putting away all of the winter decor items and breaking out the spring items–and of course cleaning in between. How I’d love a new vacuum. A little too much.
Alex says
CLEAN ME! I have a little baby who is about to start crawling any day now and two cats who shed terribly (plus a messy husband!) I need all the help I can get!
Spring means it’s time to refold the quilts. If you have quilts in your household, they should be rearranged, refolded, or restored periodically to prevent the fabric from getting damaged. We take advantage of a nice day to hang them out for air, and then pick spring colored quilts to display, and refold the others.
Lauren says
CLEAN ME!
Pretty please!
Jamie S. says
CLEAN ME!
Hmm…Spring Cleaning for me will be simply de-cluttering and eliminating junk. Unfortunately this is a constant struggle in thsi home not limited to just Spring Time. If I can get all the clutter off the floors, maybe I could actually vacuum. Or maybe if I actually liked my vacuum i would get the stuff up off the floors. :)
Jennifer says
CLEAN ME !
This prize sucks and I want it! I’m not sure how, even though I have 1 huge dog and 2 furry cats, I haven’t heard about the pet broom before. I would love to give it a whirl across my hardwoods.
In my house, spring cleaning ritual definitely includes opening up all of the windows on the sunshine-y, but brisk spring weekends. Also, I really wanted to follow your lead on the closet clean-up over the weekend. I have the bug to organize BAD right now, but I’m on crutches and can’t really walk on two feet for the time being so I have to wait a while. I’ll catch up soon though.
Thanks for the chance to win!
Heather says
Clean Me!!! Washing all the winter clothes and packing them away. Then washing all the spring/summer clothes and organizing the closet.
Delina says
CLEAN ME!
Am looking forward to the weather warming up so I can have my windows open with sunshine and breeze encouraging me along in my cleaning!
allison says
CLEAN ME

Joy says
CLEAN ME!!!
My apt of 3 girls and looooootttts of hair doesn’t have a functional vacuum right now! ahhh, hairballs everywhere! obviously we don’t have many spring cleaning rituals…but i think it’s time to get started on some!
sara says
CLEAN ME!
My spring cleaning ritual is going through my closet and folding up all my winter clothes and exchanging them with my summer clothes!
Valerie says
CLEAN ME!
We are always cleaning and organizing our kitchen, which we try to get more and more functional and thus minimal. We just got married and have been replacing some of our older and not so hot appliances, so it has been especially fun lately!
Roy Erickson says
Clean Me
Dog sheds to much. I clean all closets during spring cleaning
Jen B says
Clean me!
Cleaning out my closets and donating old clothes!!
Kristen says
CLEAN ME!
I’m determined to get the extra stuff cleaned out of our attic this year. I know there are boxes up there that we have lugged from coast to coast over the last 8 years and never opened. They probably fall into Time Capsule status by now!
Kara says
CLEAN ME! Over the past week I have been madly re-organizing closets, and I can’t wait for the weather to get warm enough to deep-clean my windows.
shanna says
CLEAN ME! I am on phase II of project declutter in my house – I’ve already done one major purge of each room and am going back and donating/selling more.
Beth says
CLEAN ME! cleaning out the closet, organizing/cleaning out the kitchen…fun!
Rebekah says
Clean me!
I would love a bagless vacuum!
Amy S. says
CLEAN ME! :) We are just getting to the point here where we can open the windows now for fresh air – that helps immensely!
Kelli says
CLEAN ME!!!
I’ve noticed how dirty our windows are, so that’ll be one of the spring cleaning activities. Oh, who am I kidding? Seriously, though, our dog and cat both shed like crazy, so the vacuum and broom would be awesome!
Goldie says
CLEAN ME
we have to clean for Passover by doing the whole house top to bottom!
Gillian says
CLEAN ME!
I am planning to repaint for spring with a lighter version of the darker colours I painted with in the fall. I’ve already started the prep!
Mer says
CLEAN ME!
i was inspired by your closet cleaning this weekend…thanks!
Joanne says
What a fabulous give away!
I have been going through my closets specifically the one by our main entrance and cleaning, taking out all the random, loose hats and mitts that have fallen (ok let’s be honest more like thrown) in amongst all the dirty boots and shoes. I’m really hoping I’m not jinxing the good weather we have been having by doing this and packing up all our winter gear. Also going through all my kitchen cupboards and organzing them again(like putting the lids with the containers etc) and giving them a good clean down.
I would totally love to win the vacume as we just adopted a Golden Retriever over the winter (Max!)and it’s a bit of work trying to keep on top of his shedding especially as our vacume cleaner is super old and has lost it’s sucking power!! I am a bit of a neat freak so I’m having to be extra conscious now!
