***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 absolutely love to clean. No, seriously – I do! From base boards to even the refrigerator, I love it!
Jen S says
CLEAN ME! A husband and a black and white pet bunny – which means his hair shows up everywhere – keeps me very busy, but I have started some window washing and have big painting plans for spring.
Kelly P says
CLEAN ME!
I just went around and cleaned all the moldings in my house. I didn’t realize window sills and baseboards could get so dusty so quickly!
Jill says
CLEAN ME! I just started my cleaning this past weekend! Closets…check! Attic (yes I even clean the attic)…check! Baseboards…almost…I just need the perfect vacuum to suck up all that cocker spaniel hair!
jane says
clean me!
we MORE than need to clean out [all] our closets… from bankers boxes full of college papers to clothes two sizes too small, we have some MAJOR spring cleaning to do. and i am more than dreading it…
Kaitlin says
CLEAN ME!!!
I always open all of the windows and spend a day cleaning out closets and dressers to organize for the warmer weather clothing. But mostly right now it’s just keeping everything clean enough while my fiance and I keep up with grad school homework!
Bre B. says
CLEAN ME!
I will be cleaning our windows as well as tidying up our back porch!
elyse Crawford says
CLEAN ME! Oh, Lord, I could use this…Also, all my rituals of cleaning are put on hold because of potty training a 2 year old girl. There is definitely ALOT of cleaning going on, but it is of the organic material kind if you hear what I am getting at!
Shelley says
CLEAN ME
I got the spring cleaning fever this weekend. It started with the Alabama sunshine. It made me see just how dirty my windows were!!!
Erin S says
CLEAN ME!
Meghan says
CLEAN ME
I raked out all of the garden beds!
Kristen says
CLEAN ME!!! I’ve been consistent with my winter cleaning to where I wont have to do much spring cleaning, but I am eager to get my balcony set up for spring (painting or staining my picnic table, planting new herbs & flowers, and other fun decorations). This vacuum would really help take my “Danny Tanner cleaning obsession” to a nice new level though!
Danae V. says
CLEAN ME!
Wiping down the deep dark corners of my kitchen cabinets. Ugh – my least favorite!
Melanie says
Clean me!
I’m going to be doing my semi annual purge and Goodwill donation! Time to clean the closets!
Anna says
Clean me! We have three hairy dogs and a cat so we can use all the help we can get.
I don’t believe in spring cleaning because by that point the clutter/mess is so big I don’t want to tackle it. I do quarterly cleanings and tackle room by room.
Kristen says
CLEAN ME
Just spent Sunday super scrubbing the kitchen floor and carpets!
Sarah says
CLEAN ME!
Spring Cleaning is always so exciting because we can finally put the screen doors back in and air out the house! Sure beats the stale smell of winter!
josie says
CLEAN ME!!! our vac does NOT suck and i’m itching to get a new one.
just today, i wiped down all the cupboard doors with soapy water and am scrubbing the slatted bi-fold doors with a toothbrush. the doors were here when we moved in and i hate them. scrubbing them with a toothbrush is the ONLY way i can get them to look decent. (shakes fist at doors.)
Sara says
please, please CLEAN ME!! I have the same old vacuum that y’all used to have (the leaf blower) and would LOVE that new one!! I am looking forward to cleaning up the flower bed and planting new flowers and veggies!
ally says
CLEAN ME!
Kate says
My vacuum just broke!
Oh and on my Spring cleaning to-do list: taking apart my box fan and cleaning the dust off the fan blades after about two years of accumulation (yuck)!
Kate says
CLEAN ME!
Just a few weeks ago we purged our closets…hall closet, linen closet, and guest room…as well as under the beds and my whole dresser. We are probably going to get one more good snow, so after that has passed and it warms up a bit I’ll start my annual “washing of the outside of the house” routine. Yes, that does include a hose, a sponge, and some green cleaner and wiping all of it down by hand. Quite a task, but so worth it. We will also be cleaning each and every window, inside and out. And we’re planning another bathroom reno…as the cherry on top. We’ll share pics when we’re done!
Darcie says
CLEAN ME!
With a cat and a dog that shed like crazy, our spring cleaning will involve MOVING all the furniture and cleaning underneath…floors, baseboards, the whole deal!
Lauren Bennion says
CLEAN ME!
i love this time of year & yes, actually enjoy spring cleaning too.
#1 on my spring cleaning list: the closets!
get rid of everything we don’t wear anymore and send it off to the good will!
Jackie says
CLEAN ME!
I always go through my closet and take out all of the clothes that I don’t wear or fit me anymore….that way I can make room for more!
Ann says
CLEAN ME!!! Just in time for spring cleaning!
Jenn D says
CLEAN ME!!! In the Spring time and fall, I wash all the walls and the curtains and the light fixtures. Move bookcases and furniture and clean underneath it all.
Kristen says
CLEAN ME :)
Brandi D. says
CLEAN ME!!
I started cleaning yesterday, when the snow here began melting. I’m a SUPER anal spring cleaner. I start at the top of the house (the attic) and work my way through every room from left to right and front to back, all the way down to the basement. Every room gets completely stripped, all furniture and accesories moved out of the room, so that I can reevaluate usefulness and arrangement. So much fun and so very exhausting…
Christa says
CLEAN ME
Under way – a huge spring cleaning fest in time for Passover seder. And that means purging closets for Salvation Army, yard sale, and the Junior League Wearhouse. Three separate piles of stuff we no longer need, and they’re gonna be ha-uge piles.
Steam clean carpets, wash the wood floors, windows, and basically make everything sparkle!
priscilla says
CLEAN ME!
I’ve been purging our storage closet, linen closet, laundry room, and garage!
Bridgette Chambliss says
CLEAN ME!
I blame you two darlings for inspiring me and my own darling to tackle our spring cleaning and renovation all at once! It’s Bridge & Biff (that’s us) against the Dust and sadly, the Dust is winning. How do you guys make it look so easy? ;)
Season says
“CLEAN ME!”
I am just getting started on the cleaning. I have washed all of the windows, but thanks to my weimaraner’s (Martini & Olive) you can’t even tell! I’m also thinking about having a painting party because my walls are still a blank canvas.
Jill says
CLEAN ME!
I’ve got a big basement cleaning planned for this summer! Do you guys have a recommendation on gross basement cement floors? Can I paint them? Is there a special product?
karlee says
clean me!
my spring cleaning has already begun with 3 loads to the local goodwill and consignment shops! next up- getting rid of the dog hair from every hidden nook and cranny with our new bissel vac and broom!! (im hopeful!)
Rachel says
CLEAN ME!
Joanne says
“CLEAN ME”
I’m cleaning out the gardens, soon to be washing the siding on the house, then washing windows and cleaning the garage. I’m so glad spring lasts forever here in Virginia!
Tessa says
CLEAN ME!
I get to feeling very confined about this time of year and I go on an organizing frenzy! Currently, I’m focused on my tiny kitchen with little storage. The problem has even made me start to scour the home listings in the area just so I can have a bigger kitchen!
Amy K says
CLEAN ME
My house is never without dog hair. It’s like part of the decor. Now with spring on the way my golden retreiver has been leaving her butt fur all over the place. I thought there was a small animal hanging on the couch the other day, no dice – just butt fur. Lots of butt fur.
I am about ready to tackle the hall closet and then it’s…. dun dun duuun… the toy room. Time to sift out the bits of transformers and cars with no wheels. All to be done incognito, of course, otherwise that left foot of Optimus Prime is suddenly “My faaaaavourite!!”
Bryce says
Clean Me!
I’m a closet cleaner outer… how 2 people and a dog acquire and keep so much STUFF is nuts! Thanks for the inspiration!
Angela says
CLEAN ME!
This is my first spring in this house-so I wouldn’t call it a ritual just yet-but I’ve already started rearranging and cleaning out my kitchen cabinets. For some reason I’ve accumulated a ridiculous amount of cookware in the last 10 months!
Molly says
Clean Me!!
Spring is almost here, time to swap out the closets!
Megan S says
“CLEAN ME!”
Looking oh so forward to continuing on with spring cleaning…I always start in the kitchen; cleaning out the fridge (and tossing any moldy left-overs), the freezer, and the stove…which gets used a whole bunch in our house! Then on to the living/dining room…usually some re-arranging accompanies this cleaning process…same goes for the bedrooms and bathrooms…a new vacuum sure would come in handy as our garage sale wanna-be hand-me-down vac has seen better days! : )
Jamie says
CLEAN ME!!
I love opening the windows wide open on a warm spring day to air out the house!
libby says
Clean me! I just spent Saturday morning cleaning out our current vaccuum. Ewwww!
vegas710 says
CLEAN ME!
I did the junk drawer and now I’m moving onto the dressers.
melanie c says
CLEAN ME!
thanks for reminding me about my dirty windows!! :-( haha, so there’s that to do, but a big project last weekend was going on my hands and knees and getting all the kitty fur balls from the corners and under furniture. where does it all come from!?
Ellen says
CLEAN ME
Looking forward to tackling some spring cleaning – but first I really need to give the fridge a good scrub: inside and out.
Lauren says
CLEAN ME!!
I am working on cleaning baseboards and under large pieces of furniture, plus adding compost to garden areas so we can plant lots more veggies this year!
Tiffany says
CLEAN ME!
I am on the verge of our major spring makeover – cleaning allthe nooks (baseboards) and crannies (windows). We’re pulling up five bushes out back that have died and we are re-landscaping the entire outside of our house. We’re about $250 away from remodeling our LL bathroom (inspired by YHL) and we’re re-carpeting our upstairs, stairs and hallway. This sucker (teehee) would do wonders on keeping that new carpet cleano!
