Fab Freebie: This Giveaway Sucks

***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?

Bissell Cleanview

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.

Bissell Pet Broom2

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!

    Time for the seasonal cleaning of the closets–get rid of everything that hasn’t been worn in a year.

    CLEAN ME… I just spent the kitchen reorganizing my kitchen cabinets and pantry. The amount of food I discovered was incredible! I won’t need to go to the grocery store for weeks, except for fresh fruits and veggies!

    Our new closet-turned-mudroom project is underway! We’ve cleaned out all the coats and put in a bench, and this weekend we purchased a hat/coat rack from IKEA.

    Next project, cleaning out the garage!

    Cleaning the closets… all of them! I am purging the clothes and giving them to the homeless shelter nearby. A goal for this year is also to use up all of the things I have been storing in closets around my house– bottles of shampoo, yarn for craft projects, the facial masks I will do “someday.” Not only will I be cleaner and more organized, but I will feel better about giving a second life to some things and creating a space filled with less STUFF.

    Spring cleaning is much easier when you do it year round. Some year I will take that advice and not frantically clean 1 hour before people come over.

    I’m so glad you chose “clean” instead of something else! LOL I scrolled down very slowly thinking “no- they wouldn’t…right?”

    I am going to start off my spring cleaning with cleaning and sealing my grout. No amount of mopping can make a floor look good if the white grout is grayish!
