***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!” – That is what our basement is shouting to us. It’s time for spring cleaning!
Stephanie Graham says
CLEAN ME!!!! Closet!! half my clothes spread all over my living room, huge donate pile on the floor. You two inspire me, thank you
Kris says
CLEAN ME!
I’m not sure I have an exact spring cleaining ritual. I’m a secretary for a cpa firm, and it is tax season for us, which runs January through April 15th, with a lot of extra hours. So the cleaning usually gets a little neglected this time of year at home. I always look forward after tax season is over to giving the house a real solid cleaning top to bottom! This vaccum certainly would help!
Kathleen M. says
“CLEAN ME”
My goal is to clean out the garage so it can actually be used for a car instead of storage!
Kash says
CLEAN ME
And help me get my house in tip-top shape for the parents. My father and stepmother are moving in with us this summer – it’s my turn return the favor and take care of them. We are a household that loves our pets, but not the mess and hair scattered about. And with 2 more people in the house, the cleaning will be even greater.
These new tools would greatly help our family out.
Monalisa says

Spring cleaning means finding as many things in my home as I can to give away to as many different local non-profits that I can think of.

So far I have only done my windows… but my 4 year old nephew vacuumed for me this weekend!
B. M. says
CLEAN ME!
I live in a very small studio apt, where storage space is in high demand. So I’ve been pulling things out of all my cabinets and closets to purge and reorganize.
I also desperately need to vacuum. My current vacuum is my parents’ from the early ’80’s, so here’s hoping. ;-)
kristin says
CLEAN ME! . . . i used to be a super duper clean freak. till i had three boys three and under (the last one being born in nov ’09). i could use some inspiration :)
Hannah says
CLEAN ME
We are currently cleaning out closets, giving our hallway a fresh coat of paint, and when the rain stops it will be time to clean those windows! It’s also on my list to get a new vacuum. Our current one just doesn’t get the job done anymore.
Shannon says
CLEAN ME! Our double-coating shedding machine of a dog has managed to get the best of two vaccum cleaners in the last 90 days alone, they just can’t compete with his hair. Dog fur dust bunnies are taking over our house as we speak…
Jaclyn P says
CLEAN ME! windows…ughhhhhhhhh
Lynn M. says
CLEAN ME ! ! ! ! !
I am organizing our household files. I have a box of old paper work to shred – oh how I need a vacuum to clean up the paper bits off the floor ! ! !
Erica says
CLEAN ME!!
We have three very furry kitties, they make “spring” cleaning much more frequent!
Emily says
CLEAN ME! We haven’t had much of a chance to spring clean yet. But the flowers that are still blooming since Valentine’s Day (they remind me of your leftover January bouquet) are sure brightening things up!
Elizabeth L says
CLEAN ME
I sadly have no projects going yet – but need to tackle the whole house and the dog hair tumbleweeds from my 60 pounds dog all over the house.
Erin says
CLEAN ME!
I’m not a great spring cleaner and one of the things I miss the most about being pregnant are my nesting urges! Oh, well…
jess says
CLEAN ME
cleaning out the garage and getting the kids toys under control..can’t tackle the garden for a couple of months…we still have snow!
Melissa Bowie says
CLEAN ME…Sad as this sounds I love Spring Cleaning! Well I really love spring more than cleaning but when the sun comes out in Upstate NY and the grass begins to show through the blanket of white I can’t help but feel like a fresh start is on the horizon! My fav ritual- to clean out the closets. Everything gets taken out but not everything goes back in! I make a “Goodwill Bag” for myself and my husband and go to town. If it hasn’t been worn in more than a year it’s o-u-t! It feels so great to get rid of the clutter while also doing something nice for others…and the best part is cleaning out the closets is a good excuse to go shopping and update the wardrobe :) Here’s to a sunny Spring!
Nancy F says
Clean Me! Please!
all good spring cleaning starts on the warmish, sunny day you can finally open all the windows and air out the house. Here in the northeast, we had that this weekend after several snowstorms in the last few weeks. It was delightful!
Kate says
CLEAN ME
We just finished reorganizing the closet. Next up is the garage..

Having just discovered your blog today through a friend of mine, I’m feeling more inspired than ever to do some spring cleaning! Can’t wait to haul out the closets tomorrow and add to our garage sale pile!
Laura says
CLEAN ME
Just took advantage of a state sponsored energy saver incentive to buy a new fridge and clean what was behind the old one, yikes!
Kait says
Clean Me!
Pick me, pick me! Spring cleaning has begun by selling some of our old things on craigslist and cleaning out the garage.
Jen B says
CLEAN ME!
We have a really small house and I am a huge pack rat. These things o not go well together! My hubby and I made a pack to donate at least three bags of stuff a week to the local hospice thift store. Good things all around.
Michelle says
CLEAN ME.
I’m planning to move in to my first house soon and I can’t wait to organize all the closets around the house as well as buy new lighting, etc.
Question for you about vacuuming – isn’t it a pain to remove the hair from the vacuum head? Do you have any tips on that?
Kim says
CLEAN ME
My current vacuum cleaner ironically does not suck, so I need a new one!
As for spring cleaning, I’m just trying to maintain normal cleaning with two kids under 4 and a broken leg!
Lauren says
CLEAN ME!!
This year I’m all about bringing spring in!! Switching to green cleaning products, an indoor herb garden and fresh plants!

CLEAN ME! My spring cleaning will consist of going through the boxes in our storage bedroom and getting more organized!
Jessica S. says
CLEAN ME!
I love Spring Cleaning. My favorite is the ritual of washing the windows, not the blinds mind you. I am very excited for this to be approaching, not so clean windows here i come!
Gin says
CLEAN ME!
We’re moving and I could totally use this upstairs on ALLLLL of the carpet!
Elle says
CLEAN ME! We’re spring cleaning our ENTIRE house right now because we just moved into our first home last week!! We want to clean it to our standards and make it our own cozy home. (And unfortunately the vacuum I bought a few months before our move….sucks – and not in the good way!) :( I could really use a great one! THANKS!

Yup, I’ve gotta say the closet, too. Can’t wait to purge and put away my winter clothes and pull out fun summer dresses!
Jen says
CLEAN ME!
I just moved and can’t wait to “spring clean” this place! A new vacuum would do wonders. I currently use my parents’ old vacuum. Ew!
Kristen McCabe says
CLEAN ME!
Giving my fridge a good wash down inside and out – and weeding!
Michelle says
CLEAN ME
We’ve begun our spring cleaning by going through all the kids clothes and getting rid of the clothes they have grown out of. We have also started clearing out the garage and re-organizing. It seems every winter it fills with stuff.
Hilary says
Clean me! Washing the windows is a good once a year activity.
savannah says
“clean me” I love spring cleaning! Getting everything aired out and organized, it’s so nice!!
Katie Gallagher says
CLEAN ME! I could really use this!!! My current vacuum (which happens to be fairly new!) is also more like a leaf blower.
For Spring Cleaning I am tidying up closets and cabinets as well as redoing my master bedroom – paint, fabric, hardware, the works! However, very soon I will be moving outside turning my attention to yard work.
