***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 love cleaning and am not doing anything special for my house, spring cleaning wise – but I AM doing a complete overhaul of my inner self! I have decided to get rid of all those little problems that sometimes turn me into Negative Nancy and am doing so by writing them on a piece of paper in bright colors, reading them out aloud to an understanding audience of plants, and then throwing them in the recycling bin where they belong. If getting rid of silly personal problems is not the perfect spring cleaning, I do not know what is!
Amber says
CLEAN ME!
Last we I started cleaning our basement. Still not quite finishesd.
Emily says
CLEAN ME!
We just moved so spring cleaning will be a cinch this year.
Phyllis says
CLEAN ME!
My husband and I usually have a ritual of cleaning the windows the first week of March, but this year to change it up a bit we decided to clean out closets (so we are joining the party!).
Christy R. says
CLEAN ME!
I have to admit that we have not begun our spring cleaning yet. In Rochester (NY), the weather is just starting to feel like spring. Maybe that will be all of the motivation we need!
Kristen says
CLEAN ME!
Well, we are closing on our first home on March 30th so spring cleaning is double this year and very thorough. Plus a little packing and moving!!
Pati says
Clean me…
We will be hosting our wedding after-party in our small home. Spring/Wedding prep TO-DO list includes: New carpet (our old one has HAD IT!). We don’t currently own a vacuum because our old carpet ruined 2 old vaccums because the fibers shed sooo much. Second spring clearning project, cleaning out our garage to make it into a lounge area. We’re on a very limited budget. This amazing prize would be a blessing.
Amanda Lucas says
CLEAN ME!
Already getting started on our landscaping/gardening where our new house is being built… current rental is going thru the packing/cleaning hurricane – which actually caused our vacuum to die (Coincidence or fate? LOL)…
Leslie says
CLEAN ME!
We have not undertaken any spring cleaning yet–absolutely no time–but I can’t wait to crack open the windows. Fresh air in the house (especially after a harsh winter) always inspires me to clean.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Mary says
Clean me!
we’re working on de-fuzzing our house from all this cat hair and working on purging our closets of all this junk!
Sarah says
CLEAN ME! At the moment, I’m tackling the weeds in the garden…15 mins every day after work. Maybe by the end of the month, it will be cleared out.
April E. says
CLEAN ME!!
And yes…I have been cleaning up and out ALL of my closets! Amazing what you find in there!!!
Melis says
CLEAN ME!
I’m reorganizing and cleaning my (many) bookshelves.
melissa says
CLEAN ME! I love the spring when i can clean all the windows! last year i jumped the gun and the windex froze on the outside. this year i will wait- paitience is a virtue, after all!
Sara Russell says
CLEAN ME!!!
With our first baby expected to make an appearance at the end of May, I’ve been nesting like CRAZY! After getting inspired by your blog (ok, honestly, after becoming OBSESSED with your blog) I spent this weekend renovating and fixing my house on the cheap. I bought and hung new curtain rods in the living room and bedroom, and made my own curtains out of sheets on sale at Target for $6.50/piece! I also used a leftover sheet and some tension rods to create curtain doors for our closets that had awkwardly hung doors.
AND! While nesting was in order, I repainted and touched up EVERY room of the house – all the doorways, trim, baseboards, windowsills, radiators…you name it, I painted it.
Now all I need is a vacuum to help keep my newly polished home dog and cat hair free (especially since my stair attachment just broke and we have all hardwood floors throughout the rest of the house!).

I LOVE renting a powerwasher and washing off our patio, driveway and sidewalks. It is so rewarding to see the black dirt and grime go quickly away!
CarrieO says
CLEAN ME!
Our first kid is on it’s way, so we’ve been clearing out space in the 2nd bedroom for it…we still have a long ways to go.
Cynthia says
Clean me!
My spring cleaning started this past weekend going through the closets and drawers and donating or throwing away those things that we don’t wear any longer. I wish it would end at that, but there is always more:(
Katherine says
CLEAN ME!
I always love getting to switch my clothes out for the warmer seasons. It’s so exhilarating to put away big sweaters and boots and replace them with summer dresses and flip flops!
JC says
CLEAN ME!
I’ve been cleaning out the closets and trying to put everything into some kind of container
cara says
In spring, I usually paint and clean out the closets! I love to vaccuum.
Diane McMullin says
Clean Me!
We are enjoying an empty nest for the first time in almost 30 years. The last 6 years my Daughter and her two precious daughters lived with us. So my Spring Cleaning includes laying new flooring in most of the house! Can’t wait. Gee, a new vacuume that works on both carpet and wood floors would be wonderful.
Love all your fresh, creative ideas. In fact I just used the Dune Grass to paint my bathroom and I absolutely love it. I look forward to reading your blog every morning. Keep up the good work and congratulations on the Little Bean!
Thank you,
Diane
Dominique says
CLEAN ME!
we have a ‘bonus room’ in our house that’s basically the dumping ground for all the things we haven’t yet found a place for/donated/need fixing, etc. Temporarily, of course.
At least, that’s what we always tell ourselves.
But every spring, we dig in, sort it out, get everything cleared, and essentially have the room empty and ready to fill up with stuff all over again.
It’s a brutal cycle.
Cheri says
CLEAN ME!
We just bought a new house so the cleaning will continue way past Spring!
Heather G says
Clean Me! Our bedroom looks like a disaster as I am going through both closets eliminating all the stuff we don’t need anymore. Trying to organize it too!
Penny M says
Clean Me – My vacuum is on the way out.
Gerri says
Clean me!
I wish I had rituals. I usually wait until it takes me 2 days to clean one room.
Stephanie says
CLEAN ME!
I’ve started cleaning out the closets in the house for things to donate that are no longer cherished or loved. After that, I need to tackle organizing the garage, sprucing up the outside and clean the counter grout. It will all be worth it!
Laura Frank says
“CLEAN ME”
I will be starting cleaning the pool very soon!
PJ Roberts says
CLEAN ME … PLEASE!!
In the process of fully re-decorating and starting to renovate our bathrooms and re-painting the kitchen cabinets. My room-mates and I L-O-V-E your design ideas!
PS – my chihuahua Louie loves to watch videos of Burger!
Theresa says
Clean Me!
My husband is off work today so I’m having him start on the cleaning. What a treat!
Lindy says
CLEAN ME…This year we have our house up for sale so we’ve basically done all of the spring cleaning stuff already, cleaned out closets, taken stuff to the goodwill, and to de-clutter we took a bunch of stuff to storage. I know once we move I’m not going to want all that stuff back in the new house though. Now its just a matter keeping the house clean for showing, with 3 kids and a dog, that’s tough.
jc says
Clean Me!!!
This little sucker sure would come in handy when I get into my neatnik mode :D
Katie says
CLEAN ME!! There’s no Spring cleaning going on in my house right now, just deep cleaning as we prep our house to sell. Crossing our fingers that it will go quickly!
Kate says
CLEAN ME!
I can’t wait to purge some items in my closet… and new for this year… change out the hangers from wire to something prettier!
Erin T. says
CLEAN ME!!!
I always manage to put off Spring Cleaning for a bit…thrn one day I wake up and just go CRAZY! My hubby and I desperately need this vacuum, ours smells like fire when we run it now!
Macy says
Clean me!
That’s what the floor in my bedroom is saying!! I live in a lofted cottage with a ladder, so I only lug my vacuum up said ladder about once a season (it’s slightly dangerous), but now that it’s almost spring, it’s about time. When I get the vacuum up there I clear all the stuff out from under the bed: bags of clothing, extra linens, duffel bags, all of my Real Simple magazines that I can’t part with… and I vacuum every inch of that space, since it won’t happen again for months!
jen says
CLEAN ME!
We don’t have any rituals since it’s only the second spring in our house, but we’ll definitely be cleaning the house from top to bottom and weeding outside in no time!
Danielle Jalbert says
“CLEAN ME”
Our Spring Cleaning always ends with a big bag making it’s way to Good Will.
Kacey says
CLEAN ME!
I have been doing a lot of yard work – this is our first home and our first yard/garden to make our own. It’s been really fun!
We’re also doing a lot of cleaning our floors since our dog is enjoying the mud, wet grass, and mulch that comes along with spring too! We’d love a new tool to help us keep our house clean.
Kerry says
CLEAN ME
I just dusted my ceiling fans, scrubbed all the grout in my kitchen floor witha scrub brush (mopping just doesn’t get it really clean) and need to do the windows soon.
Diane says
CLEAN ME! I know I won’t be lucky enough to win this FANTABULOUS give away – but I am in the throws of spring cleaning for sure. It all starts with taking down curtains and washing them. It grosses me out to see all the dirt on our window sills – yuk!
michelle n says
CLEAN ME
Cleaning out the storage shed in the back yard.
Jen says
CLEAN ME :)
Spring cleaning will start once the weather’s warm enough to pull the summer clothes out of storage and pack away the sweaters! Then it’ll start with washing the windows because there’s no better way to welcome the warms then with sunshine :)
Jennypenny says
Clean me!
My spring cleaning ritual usually involves going through all the closets, the pantry, and hopefully the garage.
Lauren says
Clean Me!!!!
We recently created a daily cleaning schedule to keep us on track and end the bickering over who does what…first week and we’re going strong!!
Shar says
CLEAN ME!
My usual spring cleaning ritual involves putting away winter decorations and getting out spring/summer (along with window cleaning!). This year, I added closet clean-out & organizing to the routine. Two down and two to go!
Kari says
Clean Me…I’ve already cleaned out the closet & donated enough clothing to outfit a family (well if the entire family likes pink)
sarah says
CLEAN ME!
Not underway yet…but the big spring cleaning for me will probably be getting rid of clothes!
Leigh F says
CLEAN ME!!!
I have been working on cleaning our closets in response to your challenge on Friday. I’ll definitely post pics on my blog when it’s finished.
