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!

    My mother-in-law is traveling across states just to help me spring clean…she knows we are much too busy for general tidiness, much less deep-cleaning!

    I just finished a much needed closet makeover- including fresh paint on the inside and new shelving. We will also be tackling our “junk drawers” in the kitchen this weekend.

    PS: Does this vacuum come with protection from dog attacks? =)

    CLEAN ME!!!

    I just moved into my very first grown-up apartment and I have no vacuum cleaner! With any new place, I am doing enough cleaning to satisfy all 4 seasons, but my closets are priority #1 (since I only have one closet, I MUST organize!)

    Thanks!

    CLEAN ME! OMG, you don’t EVEN know how bad I need that vacuum and the pet broom…our dog Sadie is known as a “shedder and a shredder”! We started phase 1 of part 1 of spring cleaning by leafblowing the back patio, building our compost bin, getting our veggie garden going, etc! I really do need to actually CLEAN windows, baseboards, etc…oh the list keeps growing!

    Spring Cleaning: my husband and i are moving into a house soon, so i will be doing a deep clean of our apartment and the house we are moving into, as well as getting rid of a lot in the packing process…simplifying down and getting organized! ALSO, we are hoping to get a puppy this summer, and i’m really wanting to be able to keep a house without pet hair everywhere!

    My spring cleaning is more than just washing windows and working on landscaping… I LOVE shopping (that’s probably an understatement), so every spring I go through my closet and take out items I no longer need or wear and donate to the local shelter.

    We’re putting our place on the market, so a better question would be: what do we NOT have to do this Spring? Everything from cleaning and painting the shed to landscaping and reglazing the bathtub. Fun!

    Cleaning ritual: I will soon be taking all the lamp shades outside for a cleaning. After a long winter indoors I normally take them outside, set them out on a sheet and wipe them down with a damp rag until they look less grimy and more like new! Then I let them air dry in the sun. Just makes me feel better…

    CLEAN ME!! Not only am I cleaning out all our closets but I am packing them up too! We are moving (again!) from the east coast to the west coast. I am going to be cleaning in all those places we don’t like to think about…under the couch and every other surface in the house (and the west coast house too!). Such a Lucky Girl!

    Clean Me!!

    I’m starting on the closets this year by consigning all my kids clothes that no longer fit. I have bin upon bin of baby clothes and I don’t think I’m gonna have another baby…if I do, oh well. I may consign the maternity clothes too…kinda scary though. It will free up so much attic, garage, and closet space once I clear out all the excess clothing. It’s a lot of work but I’m going in! Next in line…deep cleaning the carpets!

    CLEAN ME! Its finally in the 60’s here in NC so that means dealing with an ugly patch of grass, getting the garden ready and other yard work. Plus all of the usual de-cluttering inside of course.

    CLEAN ME – My favorite part of spring cleaning is when it is just warm enough to open all the windows (like this past weekend) and air the house out after having it shut up all winter long.

    CLEAN ME!! These items would be coming just in time to get our house spruced up for a new baby on the way! We do have a pet that would be served well by the Bissell gear- it’s called the dust bunny. It seems to visit us constantly and won’t go away no matter how often we clean. Ah, the joys of a 100 year old home. Would welcome these products with open arms!

    Clean me!!! We have a new crawler in the house and we can’t keep the floors clean enough! He’s one who puts everything in his mouth, so we are sweeping and vacuuming constantly.

    Our spring cleaning consists of staying ahead of the weeds in our yard. They sneak in and become a huge problem if we look away for a minute.

    This spring I will be making the move in with my boyfriend and his bachelor pad needs a good spring cleaning before it is fit for a girl to live there. I could use all the help I can get to make it sparkle. To top things off, we are getting a dog so that pet hair broom would be amazing!

    Last week I dropped off a bag of clothes at the Salvation Army. A few weeks before that, we dragged our kitchen rug out to the snow for a mid-winter clean, which is not possible come spring. I blogged about it on my blog http://barnwoodurbanism.blogspot.com/

    You closet clean up party sounds like a great idea! Will definitely join in!

    My husband and I moved into our house in November. When we were looking to purchase the house, the present owner, had a lovely blow up pool in the back yard. Not the kind of pool that kiddies play in, but that kind of pool that takes a ladder to get in to. Awesome. So now our backyard is currently a mud pit. Oer spring cleaning project will be creating a new back yard!!! Very excited. And with that, the Bissell will come in handy to clean up all the dirt and mud we track in!
