Party Planner "Befores and Afters" with BISSELL!

This post brought to you by BISSELL Homecare, Inc.. All opinions are 100% mine.

 I love Halloween and got the front door spruced up
with 2 projects I did last year...
this vinyl wall sign and a batty/owl wreath!
Everyone that sees it, loves it!

While I absolutely love Halloween,

I wasn't really planning on showcasing a Haunted House...

just planning a party!

 Unfortunately it was bug mating season...

you know those ones that only live long enough to mate?

...they DIE everywhere!  They littered the front porch.

Party Planning Lesson #1:

The front porch is what everyone is going to see first!

So, I got some help:

BISSELL sent me this vacuum about a month ago...

and I have used and loved it nearly daily!

I just pressed this magical "lift off" button...and

effortlessly, this upright vacuum becomes a shop vac!

I brought it outside and attached the crevice tool.

And easily sucked up these little suckers!

"Oh, it's very sucky!"  (name that movie)

See that handle.  Genius.  I will never go back to a handless hose.

I know, right?

Way better!

Now we are ready for guests!

I posted some more great BISSELL vacuum tips here.

And there are loads of cleaning tips here too.

Here's 5 indoor places you'll want to hit with the vacuum before the party starts!

Especially when prepping the house for overnight guests.

#1 Edges of carpet and floor base boards with a crevice tool

#2 Air vents...and Dryer vents too 

#3 In and around furniture.

#4 Windows, crown molding and door frames

#5 Lift off technology for stairs or inside closets

No worries on the after party either.

Sometimes the wreckage looks worse than it is.

A quick pick up and vacuum will get the place 

looking brand new again!

Have you used a vacuum with swivel steering?

At first I wasn't sure if I liked it...but after getting used to it, 

I can't imagine not having it!

Not gonna lie, one of my FAVORITE

 features about this vacuum is this thing:

 genius.  Love not having to hold the cord up.

 Oh yeah, and say hello to the best 

designed canister for the bagless vacuum:

 That's right.

Lift the tab on the bottom...

 And it all falls out...in happy harmony with gravity.

 Easy to wipe clean and start again!

BISSELL truly makes the party planning 

"Befores and Afters" a breeze!
