Susie & Alex!
In honor of Father's Day, we're giving away two (yes, TWO!) amazing Stanley products: a Stanley 100 Watt Power Converter AND a 300 Amp Instant Battery Jump Starter.
Sarah!
Congratulations, Sarah, on winning a brand-new ScumBuster® Xtreme Cordless Power Scrubber! Sarah’s comment was randomly selected as the winner thanks to the help of Random.org. If Sarah had the cash to spend on her bathroom right now, she said:
“If I can't magically triple it in size I would buy new curtains, rugs, and paintings so it matched and was less boyish.”
Sounds like a game plan to me. The ScumBuster might not help with the boyishness, but it sure can help chase away any grime left over from your bath’s bachelor pad days.
Keep reading and check back often—we just may have another contest for you soon!

Carolyn G!
Congratulations, Carolyn, on winning a brand-new Black & Decker Pivot Floor Vac in our first-ever giveaway! Carolyn’s comment was randomly selected as the winner thanks to the help of Random.org. Her favorite spring cleaning tool?
"A little lemon, baking soda and water will take off the soap scum from bathrooms and tiles. Plus the lemon gives it a nice smell, it's ‘green’ and inexpensive."
Great tip! And there are plenty more terrific spring cleaning ideas from the other wonderful readers who posted comments. Check them all out here.
Then be sure to check back often—we have another terrific Spring Cleaning giveaway scheduled soon.

Yes, you read that right. You are witnessing history right here, folks. It’s the first-ever The Home Know-It-All Giveaway! (But not the last—promise.)
Just in time for spring cleaning, one lucky winner will be the proud owner of a brand-new 18 Volt Cordless High Performance Pivot Floor Vac from Black & Decker. As you learned right here yesterday, the Pivot Floor Vac makes cleaning under furniture and in hard-to-reach corners easy—whether you’re vacuuming on carpet, rugs, kitchen tile, or hardwood.
Wanna enter? Just leave a comment in this post that briefly describes your favorite spring-cleaning tool (scroll down to the end of the post and click the link that says “comments”). It might be as simple as “hot soapy water and a rag” or it might reveal a terrific product you swear by (and that other readers will want to try too). What you post is up to you, just as long as it involves cleaning!
This contest will end on Wednesday, March 25, 2009, at 9:00 AM Central time. One entry per person. You must be a resident of the Continental United States and use a valid email address (that you actually check!) to win. The winner of the Black & Decker Pivot Floor Vac will be selected at random and will be announced on the morning of March 25. If you have questions about this giveaway, please check out our Giveaway FAQ page. Still have questions? Email us.
Happy spring cleaning—and good luck!
