Sweepstakes

• Could you use a $15,000 home makeover?

  Take the BISSELL’s White Sock Test: Have your kids put on a clean, damp white sock and do “the twist” in a high-traffic carpeted area for 30 seconds. The carpets’ grime will be revealed in the socks. (eww)
   
  Then upload a photo of those dirty socks to Facebook.com/bissell and be randomly entered to win a $15,000 home makeover.
   
  You can also visit BISSELL’s Facebook page daily for instant-win prizes like Visa gift cards and BISSELL deep cleaning systems. (Cleaner carpets and a home makeover? Sweet!)
