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!

    Clean ME

    Spring cleaning starts with washing and putting away all the winter coats, mitts, hats etc. and going through all the closets to move the summer items to the front and get rid of stuff I know I won’t wear.

    Clean me please!!!!!! I’ve been craving a new vacuum….I hate mine!!!
    So…..I’ve already started cleaning out the closets, trading out clothes, etc. I MUST dust the fans as there are probably millions of little dust mites with homes built there by now. I haven’t mopped since we’ve lived here (since last July) so that would probably be a good idea, too. :) And, the hubby wants to clean out the barn…..good luck to him. :) With 2 little ones, it’s a challenge to clean, so I’m ready for a good cleanin’!!

    I just put my 4000 sq ft, 6 bedroom, 3 living area, 2 dining area house on the market. Talk about spring cleaning! But the place looks fabulous! The big problem is that my best vacuum just died and it’s the only one that picked up pet hair from two dogs. And we have to vacuum every day! I’d love to win the vacuum.

    My favorite spring cleaning routine is rearranging our furniture. It’s a nice, easy way to shake things up and make everything feel fresh and new. I actually just finished this year’s mix-up this evening, and am sitting in my ‘new’ living room as I type this.

    Thanks for the great giveaway opportunity!

    I just bought my first home (okay, in December) and I’m still unpacking. But if I do tackle spring cleaning, it’ll definitely be the windows. For the first time ever I have tons of natural light and the only thing that dims it is my filthy, filthy windows.

    Clean me!!! This year’s spring cleaning needs to be more thorough than ever. My husband and I had our first baby late last spring and now that baby’s coming up on his first birthday, he is crawling everywhere and starting to get into everything! It’s kind of embarrassing to see how many dust bunnies you find under the sofa when you’re searching for the blocks that baby threw under there.

    I’ve already started cleaning my windows. It’s a job that I’m not really a fan of, but that always needs doing. And I detailed the face of my dishwasher. That things gets NASTY. I really hope I win this because I’ve had 2 vaccums blow up on me and for the last few months I’ve been borrowing a friends Bissel. It’s amazing and I love it. But, she got her own apartment and is taking the vacuum away. :( Without it, I only have a dustbuster on a stick. And it’s horrible.
