***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! When you live in MN, spring cleaning doesn’t start for quite some time yet. I should start at least thinking about it though!
Michelle Westling says

I seriously need a good vacuum for all the doggie hair in the house and we have a 7 week old baby!
Jennifer says
CLEAN ME!
Having experienced higher than average temperatures and beautifully sunny days here in Southern Ontario (Canada) for the past few days my mind has quickly started tallying up all the spring cleaning chores I can get started on.
In fact, the husband and I just had about chat how soon would be too soon to put the furniture back out on the deck!
Thinking it will be a few weeks yet but we are raring to go.
Amy says
CLEAN ME…
Winter came late to the party in my neck of the woods – so I’m waiting for the snow/sleet/hail/*brrr* cold rain to stop before I get the cleaning/organizing festivities underway. Must have the motivation, you know.
First on the list is a de-junking, Purge Me trip through the house…
Meloni B says
CLEAN ME!!!
Spring cleaning is definitely about to be underway at my house…time to pull out the steam cleaner :)There’s something about the sweet smell of Pledge and the crisp springtime air fluttering through the air that gets me every time!
breanna says
CLEAN ME!
Emily says
CLEAN ME
Can’t wait for the first day of warm weather. That is usually when I open up all of the windows to get some fresh air in the house and do a deep cleaning. Time to also get the yard ready!
Tallin A. says
CLEAN ME
My favorite way to kick off spring cleaning is washing my down comforter and pillows. I got a bit ahead of myself and washed them a few weeks ago, but hey, I live in LA! :)
Kelsey says
CLEAN ME!
Cynthia says
I love spring cleaning! Well…I love how clean it is after! I like to clean the windows (storm windows, too) and vacuum and clean all of the baseboards and the corners of closets. With a 2 year old golden retriever we have hair all over the place. Also excited to build some raised vegetable gardens in the backyard…does that count as spring cleaning?!
Gina Ward says
CLEAN ME!!!!
Pleeeeease!!! :)

CLEAN ME!
I have huge checklists – organized by room and starting at the top of the room and moving to the bottom – for all phases of cleaning (light cleaning up to a seasonal cleaning that is pretty hardcore). I will have to redo it, because we just moved into a new house, but spring cleaning will commence soon!
Tonia B. says
CLEAN ME!
I like to start getting me yard ready for family get- togethers. Playing in my garden and yard are my favorite spring activities! Thanks YHL!
Jacque H. says
CLEAN ME
I cleaned all the white trim door and window frames with a Mr. Clean magic eraser last weekend. Next week I am cleaning out the clutter with a massive garage sale!
Kelly says
CLEAN ME!!!
Too funny – my weekend started off with my biggest spring cleaning project – Cleaning our sectional – which gets covered in GOLDEN RETRIEVER HAIR –
When I was done, I was wishing it was a little warmer so the dogs could get their hair cut!!
Thanks for the great give-away!!
Katrina says
Clean me! Shortly after we do our taxes, it’s time to unbox our spring clothes and put away our winter sweaters. We use the reorganizing time to identify clothes to donate. As we do this, we write everything down and save it to write it off on next year’s taxes so we can get a great refund once again!
Kara says

melissa says
clean me. Our family plans on cleaning and fully organizing our ignored and lonely basement next weekend.

CLEAN ME! With 3 teenagers and a long-haired dog, I need a great vacuum.
Jessica Markos says
CLEAN ME
Every spring I clean out the kids closets and post their “slightly used” or “washed but never worn” clothes on Ebay to earn a little extra dinero for my hard work.
Lindsay Williams says
CLEAN ME!! My spring cleaning ritual first starts with putting away those sweaters then the cleaning of the closets begins!
Rosita says
CLEAN ME!
I just did Spring Cleaning in my garden & yard, and it’s changed the whole look of the house!
Mendi Houchins says
CLEAN ME!! Dog hair galore with 2 big chocolate labs…love them to pieces, but I need this broom in order to keep my sanity!!
Tara says
Clean Me
I like to clean anyway, so the house is usually in good shape – it’s the garage that gets a deep clean this time of year! At least I’ll be outside. :)
Mrs. Moore says
CLEAN ME!
Spring cleaning=taking all the chunky coats out of the closet into their containers to be stored until next winter again!
Mary Hamrick says
CLEAN ME!! Well as comment post number 4553, I’m not holding my breath, although I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have a new vacuum cleaner! Our spring cleaning ritual is to rid the house of pet hair…after a long winter of hibernating through 70+” of snow, we have to vacuum literally every surface; floor, couch, window-sil…You name it, we vacuum it! This also includes washing every washable item we have. All duvet covers, rugs, sheets, dog beds, etc. As a home to two permanent dogs, one cat, and lots and lots of foster dogs, we definitely build up the hair!
Cassie says
CLEAN ME!!!!!
We have bought 3 different vacuums in the last year, thanks to our 4 dogs! My husband keeps telling me we need a new one, and he is right! This would be the kick start our spring cleaning needs!
Kay KAY says

Spring clean up happen early this year just before our Super Bowl Party. Nothing like having people over to get you to clean the house!
julie says
CLEAN ME! I think I started a few weeks ago…beginning with decluttering…why do we save what we save?? still more to do…could use a shiny new vaccuum to help me!! :)
Janine says
CLEAN ME!
We could totally use this vacuum what with a puppy and a cat and putting our condo on the market in order to buy a nice house with a backyard for the now 65 dog.
Erin says
CLEAN ME! I always clean out my closet at the end of every season, so I will definitely be doing that!

CLEAN ME! We are approaching one year in our home so we dont have any spring cleaning “rituals” per se but I do plan on going through all my clothes, and making a trip or two to Good Will.
Erin says

Spring cleaning this year means trying to get the nasty stains off the walls and carpet of the house my husband just bought!
Brittany says

Just this weekend had a major kitchen scrubbing, cabinet reorganizing extravaganza!

CLEAN ME!! We threw a party a few weeks ago and used that as a reason to clean everything and get the place sparkling!
Melissa says
CLEAN ME! Between my beloved chocolate lab, a husband that thrives on messy home projects, the long Massachusetts winters and a little one on the way, we need some serious cleaning power here. What an awesome giveway!

Nini says
CLEAN ME!
And cleaning those windows! After a Canadian winter, my favourite thing to do is give those windows and screen a good scrubbing and open them as wide as possible. Mmm, fresh air in the house.
Teresea says
“Clean Me!” Raking the leaves for the millionth time.
Allison says
CLEAN ME!
I have started emptying an appalling amount of clothing from my closet. Next up: the shoe collection. There could me jellies in there from 1986 for all I know.
Sweet Em says
CLEAN ME! I need to rearrange some shelving. The result is going to be a reading/quiet time/special hiding place nook for my 3 year old! I can’t wait.
Lessie says
Clean me!
My current vacuum has an odd odor that I can’t get rid of — and as a result, I’m sweeping! Would love a clean new machine!
Spring cleaning? My bedroom. It’s become the official junk room of the house — and I can barely walk in it! *UGH*
June says
CLEAN ME! We have had 2 nice days in a row here in New England so I have been washing windows to let all this wonderful sunshine in!
Sandra says
Clean me!
This spring I’m hoping to get rid of the massive amounts of clutter I have around my house. Unfortunately, this process isn’t so much an annual “spring” thing, as a necessary bi-monthly process.
Sarah K says
CLEAN ME!!
Spring cleaning? What’s that? I hate cleaning, so it would be awesome to have the tools to make it as painless as possible. We do plan on scrubbing down all the windows and also moving all the furniture to clean whatever may have disappeared behind it.
