On the third week of my series: Help the Planet and Your Budget by Going Green, I am giving you even more tips for a greener home. This time the tips are more general and are applied to the rest of the living areas of your home.
Here’s a living area that gets a lot of traffic at home: our family room. About three weeks ago I had it professionally cleaned, because let’s face it, I have two dogs and two small kids and it really needed it. Unfortunately, it had not been a week since I had it cleaned and looking great when my 4 year old spilled a whole glass of strawberry shake on it. I freaked out at the possibility of a pink stain on the carpet. Regularly, we would have used the Bissell steam vac that we have. That thing has helped us keep our carpet reasonably clean but it’s really a pain to pull out for small clean ups like the one we had in front of us. Fortunately I recently received a Bissell Little Green Cleaner courtesy of Bissell. I was not looking forward to an opportunity to give it a try but I am glad it was there when we had this mess to clean up. It picked up the mess and there are no stains to show for it, which is great because I was charged $25 to get rid of another stain on my carpet when I had it cleaned.
Today I have one to give away to one of my readers! All you need to do is:
- Leave me a comment sharing who in your home creates the messes you end up having to clean up. For example, in my home my dogs create more mess than my children. So they are the messer-uppers around here.
Please remember to leave your name and email address in your entry. I need to have a way to contact the winner. Entries with no contact information will be considered invalid.This giveaway ends Sunday 4/19 at 9 PM CST. At that time I will select one winner at random using Random.org. The winner will be contacted and will be given 48 hrs to contact me back with their mailing address. If I don’t hear back after that period of time I will select another winner randomly. U.S. addresses only please.
Definitely, the dog! She is housebroken but if we are gone too long…well, I have to clean the carpet!
Probably the Dog and then DS. When we first moved into our house, we used to give the dog peanut butter- big mistake!!
Our 8 and 9 month old puppies, Beau & Zeke!! Beau is half st bernard, so the slobber alone is enough to drive me crazy, muchless 8 muddy paws we try to keep off the carpet!!!!
The mess makeres in my family, start with me! I’m the biggest cluts. Next are my dogs, Tag & Steel. They love to play in the mud. They also love to destroy boxes – which leads back to me – I give them the boxes.
My 2 year old daughter makes the most mess in our house, and Im always trailing her from room to room picking up after her, and cleaning anything that spilled or dropped.
Me and my husband make the biggest messes. We need a cleaner like that.
My boots are to blame! It couldn’t be me for picking the clodhoppers, or me for tracking through the mud or me for not taking them off. It’s definitely the boots fault!
I babysit and almost every day the baby either spits up on the carpet or the two year old will spill a snack or drink. This would really help out!
bhnothnagel@att.net
Hmm, who to blame?? I guess I could start with my wife and her coke drips, my daughter and her coffee spills, my dogs and their drool. But if I did that, I would have to add me and my greasy boots and cloths. I’m not sure who to blame…
I have a dog and a 2yr old and 4 yr old. . .believe it or not, it’s my HUSBAND that’s the messy one. He’s a heavy-equipment mechanic and constantly walks around the house in his work boots, sits on the furniture with his dirty, oily clothes, and plays on the floor with the kids. I think I must remind him 20x a day to change his clothes and shoes because guess who has to clean it all up. . . that’s right, ME!!!!!!
It’s definitely my 13-month-old at our house. We would love one of these!
My two kids are to blame and occassionaly my husband.
With two kids around the house, I would love to have one of those. It will be great if I win because my regular vaccuum broke two days back and I have to buy a new one now 🙁
My husband. I think he has butterfingers.

Mercedes, I just wanted to give you a heads up on the CFL bulbs. I had a cheap one from Walgreens that I had in the living room lamp.
I was on the phone with my husband and I smelled a burning smell. I didn’t figure it out until the light on the timer didn’t come on.
Some of those bulbs can only be used with certain timers-I had the right one. Anyway, the bulb part burned into the ceramic part-that’s what the smell was. I did call the company as I was concerned about setting the house on fire-she said that wouldn’t happen with the bulb. My thinking is “What if?”. Just wanted to let you know, so you are aware if this should happen. I hope it doesn’t.
At the moment, my two toddlers are certainly the leading mess makers in the house. I’m due with baby #3 any day now though so I imagine he will be giving his siblings a run for their money. Really want a Little Green to help clean up all the pending spit-ups and blow-outs coming my way. He’s a boy too so their will probably be a few misfires too 🙂
Stacy
My toddler creates the most messes. Her favorite thing to do recently has been to drink the milk from her sippy cup then spit it out on the carpet when we turn out backs. It’s made for quite the rotten smelling family room. The Little Green Cleaner would be great to have!
My 2yo son is the messiest person in this house. But he’s cute so we’ll keep him. 😉
If I win this may come just in time for potty training!
In our house the kids are making the most messes that I have to clean up because we are potty training! I have 2 1/2 year old twins, so you can imagine the mess. We do also have a dog and once we finish potty training she will be the top culprit with no problem!

I have a dog and three boys, and the dog definitely creates more messes than my three boys put together. This would be awesome!
kimsqs@comcast.net
Kim F. 🙂
Definitely my baby! He spits up so fast, and sometimes it gets on the carpet. I don’t even want to think about how messy he’ll be once he starts eating solids!
Definitely my son-or actually, maybe my husband 😉
My cat!! Need something to get up the pukey stains. ICK!
Hmmm…Its a hard one between my 3 1/2 year old and my husband! I’ll make it a tie between the 2 of them…. not too far behind would be my 9 month old especially in the high chair and learning how to feed himself.
I’d say it’s mainly the kids who make the messes – especially our youngest you still has pretty bad reflex. I would love to try this Bissell out – I’ve always been afraid to buy it, in case I didn’t like it….
michelle@zoromski.com
My 5 birds make so much of a mess compared to the three dogs and the one (very neat) cat. But my 11 year old boy can create mayham too….
Our dog is getting old and sick, and we’ve cleaned up more messes at 2 a.m. recently. This would really help! Thanks.
Wow thats a contest between my tow kids and my husband. My kids like to knock things over, but my husband likes to leave the things in the way on the floor that they are knocking…
Thanks for the chance for this giveaway. If I win I am excited to try this out!
My children are walking mess disaster areas!!! Biggest problem we’ve had…is the puke on the carpet… this would be a godsend
This would be great for the messes my husband makes. He never cleans up after himself, so this would help me out greatly. Thanks
My kids are the messiest. They are getting better at cleaning after themselves, but still have a lot to learn.
The guests…whenever we have people over it seems like we are left with some kind of crazy mess to clean up. Our fault for serving food…
My dogs are like permanent babies. They are always spitting up, coughing up or throwing up something. I need to a dog Roomba to follow them around.
2 dogs and one cat and………the messiest of all , one teenager.
My kids and dog make the most messes.
It’s a toss up between our puppy and our toddler! I think kids are easier to clean up after, though. 🙂
I have 2 dogs, 2 toddlers & 1 husband! Between the 5 of them, I think the hubby wins the messy award!!!
My husband and my dog make the biggest messes. My husband is a spiller and my dog likes to get muddy and then run through the house. It’s exhausting to keep a clean house! 🙂
My kids (2 & 4) are my mess makers! I would LOVE LOVE to win it!!
My husband!!! He comes in with mud, dirt, grease and anything else on his boots and walks all over my house in them!! The worst is when he does it the day that I vacuum so I have to vacuum again… Like I honestly have a whole lot of time to myself with a 2 year old!!!
My husband!!! The kids are no match to his messing capabilities!!!
My two cats are way messier than my 10 month old.
My kids are the mess makers!!
My husband and my 5 and 3 year old are the markers of the carpet. For example my husband spilled Big Red on the carpet and instead of cleaning it up he moved the recliner over to cover the spill. Now just yesterday my little girl spilled some water and then placed her couch on top of it. When I asked her why she did that, she said I saw daddy.
Definately my DF!! I’m always telling him that he’s making more of a mess for me to clean up!!
My husband is the one that makes the mess. This small machine would be great since we have a small space.
I have 4 kids and 1 husband who all make messes!! My youngest is 17 months and is probably my messiest!
My three year old walks up the stairs smearing his finger prints up the wall as he goes! He is definitely the messy one in the house. When he was younger he pulled plants out of their pots!!!
For sure my 14 month old! His various food and drink spills are the main things I clean up.
I am to blame. I am a horrible slob. I need help 🙁 My husband is constantly trying to keep up with my spillage.
Well, we have an almost 1 year old…trying to teach himself to self-feed everything. More winds up on the carpet and walls than anywhere else!
We are potty training so my DD makes the most messes right now!
My 3 year old “wild child” (Myles) is by far the messer-upper in our house!
I would have to say it is me. I have to have my coffee and I am always spilling it and dribbling it when I carry it from one room to the next. Guess I shouldn’t fill it so full
http://www.onceisneverenough@sbcglobal.net Michelle K
oops meant to put my email address in above as your rules states and I put it as a website
Awesome giveaway. My two 100 lb. dogs are by far the messiest, Beezley and Bailey. Gotta love them though.
Ah, that would have to be our cat of late; we changed cat foods (trying to get deals) and it really didn’t agree with him. He hasn’t been the same since and neither have my floors – gross, eh?
My son also does his fair share, but I have trained him to eat the really messy stuff in the kitchen at least!
I’d have to say our little 7.5 pound dogs makes the messes. You know that horrible noise dogs make before they throw up…I know it all to well. We’ve been discussing purchasing the Bissell Little Green machine, but with the economy the way it is, we’ve put it off. Winning would be a wonderful blessing!
It’s a tie between my 17 year old and our dog. The 17 year old is pretty neat, but she’s messy when she eats.
its a tie between my 4 and 5 year old but when theyre together its horrible lol
DH is the one that makes the most mess in our house!!! (above dd-5 & 2 cats) This would be amazing to try! Thanks for the chance.
my daugher who drops her juice regularly but a close second is my friends/myself who have spilled strawberry margarita!
It would definitely be my dog who makes the messes at our house. He’s small (a Yorkie) but he has officially mastered th mess making skill. That carpet cleaner would be a lifesaver!
My children make the most mess. My husband is wonderful, always picks up after himself and is a neat person.
My new puppy leaves the most messes (I heart potty training?) but my other dog does love to roll around outside and then bring it inside. I would love this little gadget for quick cleanups!
My cocker spaniel Emile first, and my two cats Jazz and Demo are the biggest mess makers.
My youngest son, who is 3, makes the biggest and most messes in our house! He thinks it is his full time job and he takes it seriously! My email addy is ibetbird@sbcglobal.net Thank you for the great giveaway!
It’s a tough call. My dog is remarkably clean but her happy wagging tail has been known to knock over a few glasses!
My two dogs for sure! They don’t have accidents in the house but they sure seem to bring in the dirt! DD isn’t too bad at all!
My daughter but she has a tag team named Stewie(dog). They plan the messes and conquer them with such sucess. Let put it this way if I could take the carpet and put it in the washing it would happen every week! 🙂
Augie our cat is the mess maker in our house
Our puppy Ty is to blame!
Chloe, my little jack russell terrier is the culprit in my house. Although she’s usually good, we like to play outside rain, shine, whatever…
I SO need one of these! It used to be my dogs too but now it is my three year old. She will proudly announce I SPILLED at least 3 times a day! Fortunately it is often water but when it is not it is NOT if you know what I mean!!!!
My hubby for sure! Okay not really…it’s all me – I’m a klutz! My most common offense is spilling drinks on the floor and furniture. What can I say? I need a great cleaner-upper like the Bissell Little Green Cleaner!
My 2 year old toddler. While learning to be independent, he is making mom here work overtime cleaning up after him!
freebies4kie@gmail.com
My 2 year old toddler for sure. He is learning his independence and making mom here work overtime! I don’t mind it though 🙂
freebies4kie@gmail.com
The current mess-maker in our house is my cat!! Just yesterday she puked all over the brand new carpet in the living room. I’m due in three months though with my first child and I have a feeling he’ll join the cat in the mess making department soon enough!!
Well, with 5 kids I could sure use a little carpet cleaning help 🙂 But, I must say my husband creates the most stains on the carpet. He wears shoes around all day – outside, mowing, gardening, etc and then onto the carpet – what a mess. Plus, the kids only drink in the kitchen, but he drinks in our bedroom and leaves his glass on the floor, where kids tend to knock it over. Of course, he would say that then the kids were making the mess…. 🙂
We have an older cat on medicine, and sometimes, well…. it comes back up on the carpet. Ugh. I would LOVE one of these!
Oh…my mess makers are a big lazy English Setter named Jake and a sloppy husband and 2 sons. I too have experienced the wonder of a super clean carpet after the professional cleaners are done only to have a stain a day later. I need this!!
All my kids are messy but the 3 and 5 year old are the worst.
Oh my cats are definitely much messier than my daughter & husband. They both have sensitive stomach and are always sneaking food (from my daughter’s plate when she looks away).
My son, age 15…red gatorade all over my nice oriental rug that bled through to the regular carpet. UGH! I’d love a cleaner!
Hands down the messiest in the house are my little ones (17 months and 3). Just this week I was cleaning up a huge mess when the 3 year old got sick all over his bedroom. The most memorable is when the youngest threw up pumpkin pie the morning after Thanksgiving! It’s such a pain to wait for my husband to drag out our large carpet cleaner every time there is a mess; something like this would be great!
My dog definitely is the messiest in the house. This would be wonderful to help clean up after her!
My cat, she likes to make a mess for me to clean up.
My grandson is three. Yesterday he was helping move dirt in the garden. No concept of where the garden ends and the kitchen begins. Dirt tracked all through the house. Ring in the tub too.
My potty-training 2 year old definitely makes the messes in our house – Help!!
Kaitlin22@aol.com
My son would be the messmaker! He makes such a mess when he eats!
Wow, this is SO awesome of you!! We have a dog, four cats, and a toddler and, honestly, it’s a three way tie as far as messes. Sippy spills on the carpet seem to be our biggest problem right now though. Believe me, we could definitely use something like this to help us out! Thank you very much. 🙂
hilary.magaro@gmail.com
I think my teenager makes the biggest messes, but to be totally honest, we’re all pretty accident-prone around here!
My cat Paris is the biggest mess maker in our house. I would never have thought a small cat could track in so much mud and dirt. Living in the country means there is a bunch of mud and dirt to track in!
my two year old makes the biggest messes around here!
It is my husband that leaves the messes in this house!
I have two kids (3 and 1 1/2) so I would say they share the honor of the biggest mess maker 🙂
Lol this is funny, there is only my husband and I in our ranch style 2 lever home. And yet, the carpets are a magnet for dirt! And it’s mostly me, yes me! I don’t have a vacuum right now so that also contributes to the mess!
a pair of Italian Greyhounds and a pair of girls (1.5 and 3) 😉
I have 2 dogs, a set of 2 year old twin girls, and a newborn baby boy. My twins make the biggest mess…by FAR! The worst is the unreliable “no-spill” sippy cups that dribble grape juice all over our carpet. OH–or the coloring job on my sofa, courtesy of one of my girls and her treasured ball-point-pen. Yikes!

Usually it is my two year old that makes the biggest mess. Today, however it would be the rain. Our basement flooded.
We have three kids and surprisingly it’s not my youngest that is the messiest. For some reason our 5 year old can’t get the concept of eating “over” your plate so the crumbs land on it instead of the floor. Maybe one day he’ll get it…..:)
Sarah P
I wish I could say that it is my pet, but in reality it’s probably my two kiddos – 11months and 3years. We have a bad habit of snacking in the family and there are always spills that follow us. This would be awesome!
amfurore at hotmail dot com
Two 60 lbs dogs and a 4 and 3 year old!
My two-year old is the messiest in our home, he can never keep food on his plate or liquid in his cup! We spot clean at least twice a week on the floors/furniture!
My two year old daughter is the messiest of all! She loves to get into my make-up and the older kids markers! Yikes!
Thanks for the giveaway.
bethany(at)picturesquelife(dot)com
Wow do i need this! I have 3 indoor dogs! They are definitly the messiest! Princess who hates to go outside is probably the culprit of all the boo boos on the carpet! However we did take in a puppy recently that was a drop off. And then there is Bessie. I love them all to pieces and wouldn’t trade them for the world, however i could stand to not have to get up first thing every morning to SCRUB the carpet! Thanks for all the great stuff you put up on here for us. I’m a newbie and am already addicted!
oh my email is jdkcdill@yahoo.com!
It’s a toss up between our two dogs (one is a puppy), and our youngest daughter – a young teen, who sometimes just has to be in a room for something to spill. ha ha Seriously! We have lived in the same apartment for six years, and as most know, apartment carpet is not.the.best at hiding stains/spots. It would be wonderful to be able to spot-clean as needed!!!
I’ve never done anything like this before…do you use the email address that I had to sign in with, or do I have to put it in the message part, too? I see both ways done on here.
Thanks for offering this giveaway!!!!
Definitely the dog. 🙂 Thanks for the chance!
OMG! I want this!! I have two kiddos that make their fair share of messes and it’s ALWAYS on the carpet! Woo!
I’m not sure who’s the messiest in my house! I’m going to say my dog since she tracked mud in the house a long time ago and that part of the carpet always looks dirty now, no matter what I do!
In this house I think everyone contributes equally to making the mess. It’s the cleaning up part that falls to 1 person. That little Bissell would help out a lot.
Oh my goodness this is exactly what I need!!!! My 3 year LOVES PB&J but hasn’t mastered the concept of a napkin so my carpet suffers 🙂 We have a large steamer but it is a pain to pull our for small spots…this little guy would help tremendously!!!
In 1st place, my dog. She is a very nervous dog and pees at the drop of a hat and a lot of pee too! 2nd place would be my 5 yr old son, I think he’s just doomed to be a klutz like me. Poor thing. LOL!! 3rd place, my elderly cat that puke a lot and leave lovely orange stains on our blue carpet. Pretty.
We have a regular large Bissell, but man it’s a pain in the butt to haul out every time the dog pees or the cat pukes or the kids spill something. A little one would be a very welcome addition!! 🙂 Thanks for doing this one!! Love ya!
Hands down my five year old! Washable markers, Ha!
My 14month old daughter makes tons of messes! She recently got sick and this Bissell would have come in super handy to clean up after her!
My two kids and my husband are to blame.
At our house the mess definitely is the dogs…the cats don’t help most days, but they’re just not as dirty as the dogs can be!
My pup Penny is definitely the culprit in our house. One time I came home and she had somehow managed to get into a bag of flour. It was everywhere and she had a Santa Claus like beard from the flour mixing with her licking her face! It was hilarious AFTER I cleaned the mess. Thanks!
My husband, without a doubt! Thanks for the giveaway.
I have a cat with lots of long white fur – she leaves clumps of hair all over the house!
I would love one of these beauties! My DD and DS seem to always be up to one mess or another. Most recently red J-E-L-L-O!
My 9 month old daughter is the current major mess maker. She’s learning to self feed so I have to clean up after her at least 6 times a day with snack! It gets old quick!
Definitely my 2 boys both under 2! Between spit-up and spills, I am busy 🙂
At my house the youngest is the most recent offender! We had a recent episode of red koolaid on my off white carpet. Really could have used this on that day!
Out of my four children and two dogs, my four year old son is a walking hurricane! This would help me pick up after that little guy!!
Three messy boys in our house and I can’t say one of worse than the other. My dog, loves the mud. My husband, loves the mud. My little boy, also… loves the mud. Not sure how they find it – but they do!
Definitely it’s my Pug dog. But you can’t get mad at him because he’s so cute.
While all four of my kids have the tendency to make messes, they vary according to each child. The three boys are notorious for dragging mud and dirt into the house and leaving little dirt trails everywhere they go! On the other hand, our two year old daughter seems to turn everything into sticky goo! House cleaning is a full time job with our little ones.
My kids are definitely the mess makers in my house. My 5 year old seems to spill milk all over all the time :-). Great giveaway!
My two girls leave a mess every where they go!
4 kids under ten, two cats, a new puppy, a and the hubby. It is not possiable to say who is the messiest. They all seem to do a great job at keeping me busy. Love the new sweeper I got for a quick pick up job, but does not work well on wet spills.
My husband makes the biggest mess usually. We have a contest at dinner to see who leaves the biggest mess on the placemat and he usually wins!
My son. At 6’3″ he is a big boy that leaves a big mess.
HELP…MY CARPETS HAVE SPOTS!! My puppy “Norm” is the messy one at our home. He is 6 months old. We have never had a dog in the house before…Now I know why. I’ll be glad when it gets warm & stays that way so he can stay outside.
Definitely my dog – he is a cutie, but very messy!
My husband! He is even messier than my one year old.
OH how i need one of these little babies! My kids for sure are the cause of most of my carpet grief.
My one and two year old create any possible messes they can. Next to them would have to be my dog.
My one year old makes the most mess because he loves throwing his food and drinks on the floor right now. I cant wait until this stage passes but I would love a Bissell to help keep things clean until it does.
stacielynn78@yahoo.com
My 19 month old probably makes the biggest messes.
My son who plays lacrosse in any weather, including rain, mud, sleet, drags it in the house!! A challenge to clean the carpet and the equipment! Thank you Bissell
I just wanted to let you know I found a $5/1 Physicians Formula Bronzer coupon at my Walgreens today, that will be great to use next week when Physicians Formula make-up is on sale for 40%, and you can still do the April Easy Saver rebate…You can check out the details HERE.
Around my house it’s my husband that is the mess maker. I am a bit of a neat freak, so he keeps me on my toes. After 31 years together we have achieved a nice balance though.
My 18 month old daughter creates by far the most messes. But my three year old son is a close second!
Its a toss up between the dog, the toddler and the husband! I can barely keep up.
My 2 dogs and 2 boys tag team on my carpet but it is mostly the dogs that make the mess.
That is an easy one – my one year old daughter is the messer upper!
She drops food, throws food (we are curbing that!) and hides things in her high chair (presumably for later?!)
I am so sick of lugging out my full size vacuum for the after meal clean up, but I honestly hadn’t thought about the environmental impact!
I’d have to say my husband. After he’s in the kitchen, I find all sorts of weird spills. By his side of the bed, there are crumbs and random spills too. 🙂
Between my 4 children and 2 dogs I cant decide who makes the biiger mess. I would have to say its a toss up between my children and my dogs depending on the day

Between my two boys (under age 3) and my two English Bulldogs (60+ pounds a piece), I don’t have a chance 🙂 brown_er@charter.net
It’s our two dogs without a doubt. Never use that black light to look at your carpet. You will have nightmares!
lexbyam at gmail dot com
You know, despite the fact that I have a baby and a husband… it’s probably me.
karinyaf at gmail dot com
Our messes come from our toddler! Period! LOL.
My kids FOR SURE make the worst messes. As soon as I get them cleaned up, I turn around and there’s another one. My daughter is the worst- she KNOWS she’s not allowed to have food on the carpet, so she sneaks it and hides it. By the time I find it… A MAJOR MESS!
Definitely the dog! She destroys toys in under 5 minutes. Even the “indestructible” ones!
My 2 sons make the most messes. I can really use one of this.
younu1973@hotmail.com
The messy one for me is my two year old son! He’s always drooling crackers, spilling juice or drawing on the furniture. And that doesn’t even begin to go into the amount of crumbs that end up on the floor (some of which I never find because the cats beat me to it!)
Great giveaway! My cats are the ones who cause the biggest mess in our house, although my 2 year old son is in a close second
I have 3 kids (4 if you count my hubby) and since I am the only girl in the house, 🙂 I would have to say the boys all make bigger messes than I do. 😉 thanks for the giveaway!
The funny part is that the kids usually spill things on themselves…it is usually me that spills and makes the biggest messes around the house chasing the kids or the dog. Thanks for the chance to enter!!
In my house, my husband leaves the biggest mess, never fails, once a week he spills coffe, soda, any type of food…our carpets are a disaster….help me!! I hope I win!!
I would have to say my 4 year old son has made the biggest mess of our carpets. About a year ago, he got into a can of Bag Balm and decided to put it all over his feet and walk around my daughters room. We have gone through scrubbing and having it professionally cleaned twice. I would love to see if this little green machine works.
I would think that my 3 year old son would be the messy one in our house, but his 2 year old sister has him beat most of the time! She can make a mess in a moment! Fortunately she is pretty good about picking things up … at least the things that can be picked up! Thanks for the giveaway!
My two dogs leave the biggest messes for me. I have a 15 year old lab with a weak colon. Makes messes on the carpet which require some scrubbing…okay, maybe a lot of scrubbing!
My daughter makes the biggest messes because no matter how many times I tell her to sit at the table and drink her juice, she always ends up walking around with it and spilling it on the carpet.
snellingstamonie@gmail.com
My kids! Nothing more is needed to be said…hehe
My two dogs, definitely leave the majority of the messes in our house. But my son is a close second…especially now that it’s nice outside and mud can get tracked indoors!
In our household it’s a tie between my husband and our daughter and her wheelchair. If there’s mud around, they’ll find it. At least the gardening gets done?
That would be my husband and children!
My hubby makes all the stains!….
..ok, I’m a bit clumsy
…ok I’m really clumsy >_<
It’s my six kids that make the most messes eating all over the place! I would love one of these, especially when they are sick and don’t quite make it to the bathroom in time and vomit everywhere. Isn’t it fun!!
It’s a toss up between our 6 year old girl and our 3 year old boy. They are both fantastically creative in their own ways and ya know what that means 🙂
On the one hand… layers of glue, papers, stickers, gum, markers, crayons, barbies, make-up, nail polish and of course her little treasures.
On the other… its dirt, tools, anything tippy top high and breakable, bugs, snotty boogies, blue drinks, greasy hands, blood and of course mud. Thankfully our 9 year old has learned a tad bit of control and our 9 month old has yet to really go there. We could REALLY use this! Oh, I forgot to mention flu season hit just after red vines and a movie… I’m sure you can imagine the joy.
My husband makes the most mess on the carpets. He is forever coming in and tracking dirt. Grrrr! Thanks for the chance to enter
The dog! Just plain messy 🙂 I borrowed one of these cleaners from a friend just last week. I loved it! It was perfect for little messes!
My little messer upper is Sarah. It amazes me that someone so small can create such huge disasters! 🙂 She is at that stage where she wants to be so independent and “I can do it” is all we hear! I have a feeling over the next few years I would run the risk of wearing one of these little things out! Would love to try though!
My dogs are definitely the #1 culprits. Dog#1 is a lab mix and sheds constantly. Dog#2 has 3 coats of fur. Huge clumps of his fur fall out when he sheds. Next in line is me. I cook a lot and I’m messy. I don’t mean to be, but I am. Everybody else is pretty neat and tend to pick up after themselves. You’d never know that I have two teenage boys in my house (unless you open their bedroom doors).

It would definitely be my dog and cat equally . My dog has “accidents” in the house and the cat.. well she gwts sick sometimes. So this would be a lifesaver.
Hmmmm… You’d think it would be our one-year-old, but I think it’s really more my hubby and I! Although the baby did make rather a mess on the carpet with his birthday cupcake… 🙂
My cats make a huge mess!
Well lets see, I have 4 boys ranging in ages 1 to 8. They are by far the ones who make the mess. I could have used this last week when my 1 year old pulled down my potted plant and broke it on our white carpet! Thanks for the chance to win.

This week my mother-in-law gets the prize! On Tuesday she had just finished painting the nursery (I’m due 7/29) and while gathering her tools managed knock over the glass of red wine she had been enjoying. It not only got the carpet, but the cushion of the glider rocker I had just brought home last week. Needless to say, she was beside herself. Luckily she immediately treated the stain and used her large Bissell that she had brought over for us to use after the painting was complete. You can’t even see the stain now, but she doesn’t believe me…she’s checked everyday this week to make sure it hasn’t resurfaced. Luckily, we had planned to recover the glider cushions anyway! Between the dog, the husband, my love of Cranberry Sierra Mist (impossible to get out of carpet) and the baby on the way we could sure use a Little Green Cleaner!
Lots of spit up from my 9 month old triplets and I tend to trip over their gates and spill drinks in the process. If thats not enough we have a crazy dog. Yeah- I could use this steam cleaner.
My kids make the biggest mess. It doesn’t help that we don’t have grass yet. Thanks, definitely useful.
In our house the ultimate “messer-upper” is my 15mth old! She spills so much food! When she is done eating, she lifts up her plate(and tilts it) and says “all done!” Of course she is no where near done and I have food all over the floor. My dog on the other hand is the best vacuum I have ever owned!!!

My two year old son and our dog are the main culprits when it comes to making messes on the floor 🙂
We need help! It is so hard to keep the floor clean and we don’t want to welcome ants as house guests!

My 4 children! I love the idea of something green that does a great job of cleaning up!
I don’t know who is worse…….my 3 cats or my 4 teenagers. Some days, it’s a total toss-up!
That would be our 2 dogs and you never know when its gonna happen so its nice to be prepared.
The kids… walking in with their muddy feet. This would be a great help!
It is definitely my dog… she thinks that anything she can reach (and she’s a greyhound, so that’s a lot!) is hers to chew…
Thanks for the giveaway!

My sons (9&11) make the moste messes, but the hardest to clean from a cat who seems to puke on the carpet alot!
I think I could really use a carpet cleaning. My dog had 5 puppies nine weeks ago…..well that explains it all. I also have seven children ages 18-5 and two more adult dogs and two cats. I spend most of my time cleaning up after them. I would really like my house to look and smell good again. This is something I could really use. thanks. Jennifer ajmerklinger@verizon.net
I would love one of these. I saw a commercial for it. The big mess makers in my house are my 2 cats – one is a puke machine and the other has “territorial issues”.
I have a husband and a baby. Both of them are the messiest eaters anyone will ever meet!
I would love to get one of these!
I think it is a toss up between my cat and my 5 year old son as to who creates the most stains. My cat is well trained but is aging and unfortunately gets sick frequently. So there are always messes to clean up between the two of them.
#1 Hubby #2 Son #3 Dogs #4 Cats – and yes, hauling out the “big” cleaner on a daily basis is a drag! I hope I win this!!
My two boys make the most messes in my home!
My puppy makes the mess at my house! Can’t wait until she’s fully potty trained.
Thanks!
My 4 1/2 year old daughter makes the most messes, but my husband isn’t far behind her!
Thanks for this giveaway!
In my house it’s my 9 month old daughter that makes the mess. She’s a very messy eater and is always getting the couch and the floors dirty.
Thanks,
Alison, Tampa, Fl
What a fantastic giveaway! In my house, my kids make the biggest mess. They are 3 and 2 years, and always forget to take their shoes off, and are CONSTANTLY spilling stuff on the carpet. It looks awful, and it was brand new when we moved here 3 years ago!
Cara Varela- carryelle1206@hotmail.com
My 2-year old is a walking disaster 🙂 We’ve had to buy throw rugs to cover the stains we’ve not been able to get out. Most of the throw rugs have been replaced once 🙂
My 3 year old makes the biggest messes!!
Who makes the biggest messes…it’s a toss up between my almost-4-year old and my 18-month old. Or maybe it’s me… 🙂
In my house there are lots of messer-uppers. Two cats, two kids and a sick mother in law who has most of the accidents. This would be a LIFESAVER for me!
AS a volunteer raising puppies for service dogs, it is definitley the puppies!
Probably myself I am such a clutz and am always knocking glasses over. Pretty sad considering I have two little boys!!
I am clumsy, so it is usually my own messes! Occasionally my cat and hubby help out too.
I’m pretty sure it’s me! Between makeup all over the bathroom and clothes all over the bedroom floor, I make the biggest mess of us all!
It’s a combination of me and the dog. She has this terrible habit of shooting thru my legs knocking me and coffee cup over when she gets nervous.
We all make a mess in our house from the 1 year old to my hyperactive 5 year old but the WORST is my husband. He is an outdoorsman and is always tracking in mud, dirt and whatever else he steps in. Since we have stairs to come in the house they are always dirty, even after cleaning from all the traffic! Don’t ge me started on the rest of the house!
My 2 year old son and husband make the most messes, and I seem to be the one that gets to clean up after both of them. I could really use this little machine to help me out.
We have a 17-year-old cat who doesn’t quite always make it to her litter box in time and a 6-year-old cat with stomach problems, so they definitely are the mess-makers in our house! In fact, my daughter saw this cleaner in the store the other day and remarked that we needed to get one. Thanks for being able to offer such an amazing giveaway!
It would be a serious tie between my 4 year old daughter and my 35 year old husband for who makes the messes around here. . .
My kids are the mess makers. We have carpet in our dining room (which I just hate!!) and it is always getting spilled on. My daughter once dumped an entire bowl of tomato soup in there and I thought I was going to cry!!
I am afraid that with two dogs, two kids, and one husband, that my carpet is a mess most of the time! I think the dogs are the worst mess makers on my carpet. It’s mostly the mud and dirt that comes in on rainy days, but it makes things awful!!! I would LOVE this machine!
My 14 year old cat makes the most messes. My 2 kids and the 2 kids I babysit make plenty of messes too.
Our dogs make the most messes.
Thanks!
eyedealdisorder@comcast.net
My kids make the most messes as of right now, but we are about to get a puppy tomorrow, so I’m sure he will be contributing as well. So excited to welcome a new member of the family! 🙂
lisabranson79@gmail.com
I think my 4 little ones make most of the messes around our house!
I would love to win this because my boys make some messes at my house. Tehy deny making them but i know its them.
super_alba_star@yahoo.com
I HAVE 4 KIDS,1 DOG, AND A HUBBY. I’VE GOT TONS OF MESSES. WOULD HELP OUT SOOO MUCH.
My sweet husband brings coffee upstairs to me every morning. Unfortunately that means going up a set of carpeted stairs and across my carpeted bedroom…
My 13 year old kitty cat makes the biggest messes (but he’s definitely worth it!) Thanks for the giveaway!
My 3 year old.. HANDS DOWN. For every one thing I clean, she has made 3 more messes. I sometimes think I would be better off just watching her… I think I might actually get ahead taht way.
My boyfriend put more stains every, more than our 2yr old. It makes it even worse that their not regular stains but oil stain(mechanic). If I win I hope it can take out oil stains.
I think it would be a tie between my husband and my children. They are ALL messy.

My 3 kids! (Bless their little messy hearts)

I would have to say my hubby is the messiest in the house. He seems to create more havoc than my two year old and my two dogs! 🙂 Gotta love him though!
My husband is our messiest mess maker… Mr. “oops I just dumped a whole bowl of chili on the couch.” Needless to say he is no longer allowed to eat in the living room.
Our two “big” kids are our messmakers. They are 8 and 7 and we would LOVE this green cleaner-upper.
Thanks,

I would definitely have to say my 5 year old and my 3 year old. the youngest just has to LOOK at something and its ruined. my carpet has so much juice stains, we’re at the point to just get an area rug and cover it up.
What a fabulous give away!!
Biggest Mess Maker is a toss up at my house, there is the 3 year old, the one year old, the 100lb lab or the husband who works on constructions sites all day. Cleaning is a never ending job around here!
right now my 1 1/2 year old gets into everything and makes the most messes.
I have 3 large dogs and 2 small boys and yet my husband makes most of the messes in the house.
Right now my little boy (22 months) makes the most messes. He is constantly dumping his snacks on the carpet and just last week I let him run around without a diaper for just a few minutes and I got distracted—YUCK! We had a mess on the carpet. It would have been nice to have one of these to clean it up!
My 2 year old by far is the messiest around. He cant sit still ever and always manages to pick up something and grind it into the carpet or couch. iam forever cleaning up after him!
I have four cats-with furballs, puke and the occasional accident I am going to say they are guilty as charged! They certainly keep me busy picking up after them, and they have been banned from some rooms for being so naughty and sharing their furballs with us… Thanks to you and the sponsor for such a great giveaway!
This may sound terrible, but the babysitters (who just happen to be my mother and father-in-law) are the messiest. We just got a new carpet and they hate that I ask them to take their shoes off. This would be a great thing to win. Thanks,
Sarah
imascubagirl@yahoo.com
my two little girls 5 and 2 make the most messes but my husband is just as bad!!!
My dog, 2 cats and husband. He’s disabled so when he tries to do something on his own, it usually ends up in a huge mess!
I hate to admit this, but I probably JUST edge out our dog as the biggest mess-maker. I cook dinner every night, but every night it’s like a three-ring circus. I call it “creative chaos” but it ends up with egg whites splattered on the kitchen window, if that tells you anything . . . .
My 19 month old is messier than all three of my other kids. He is like a human tornado!
I have two black labs, but really…I think I make bigger messes than they do sometimes! LOL! I’m a bit clutsy.
It’s really hard to put the blame on one. My husband tracks in everything as do the kids. The kids let the dogs in without making sure that they check their paws first. Our baby seems to think that feeding the dogs off of her plate will be the next big Olympic event . . . practicing her pitching arm at every meal hoping for the gold! BUT the winner is our cat who has the knack for leaving surprises (aka: a la hairballs de Socks) on our bedroom carpet during the night that cause many a curse to be uttered in the dark on the way to the bathroom. 🙁
I would have to say that my 21 month old is the messy one in our house right now. I can’t keep up with her!
Beethoven (aka peedog) our 15 year old toy poodle..or we should call him a toy puddle since he has taken to leaving them all over. We need “Depends” for dogs!
I have 2 kids, and I watch other children too throughout the week. They definitely make the biggest messes! My kids know to leave food in the kitchen, but it’s harder to regulate the visitors. Thanks for giving away this steam cleaner, we definitely need one!

My baby girl found my toddler’s bowl of strawberries and rolled over to it and when I found her she AND my carpet were covered in red goo from the strawberries!! I have two babies under two and they are MESSY!

It’s a draw between my three young children (2,3&5) and our baby goats that are born throughout the year. My DH is just a big messy kid also, lol.
Indirectly it is our dog. He has torn up our backyard and turned it into a mudpit. Therefore we track in mud. Yuck!
You would think it would be my three-year-old… but I would have to admit to making more messes on out carpet than she does… probably because I”m allowed to eat in the living room…. 🙂

my puppy wally makes a mess everyday, everywhere. I need help!

My 2 yo daughter makes the most messes-our dogs actually clean up her messes a lot, but this would be handy for the ones they don’t get clean! 🙂 thanks!
My 2 young children are always dripping. And since my son loves chocolate milk, you can imagine the mess. This would be great!
let’s just say it’s a tossup between my husband and our four cats as to who makes the bigger mess! husband tracks in lots of mud on his workboots, and kitties vomit (and usually on the carpet instead of the tile!)

Between my two year old and my dog…I could wear that thing out!
This is tough but it is not ME! 🙂 A 23 year old son that “thinks” he is neat (only with his stuff) a bird that manages to magnetize her seeds! And a cat who can trip over and knock over anything that is not even in her way 🙂 Not mentioning the Iguana, he is a good boy! All this in a small apartment 😉 Thank you!
Right after I had my first child, my mom told me something that I still tell myself… “Keeping a house clean with growing children is like shoveling outside while it’s snowing!” But, to be honest, my husband ALWAYS ends up making a bigger mess than any child could! He has a really bad habit of hiding things underneath the couch, because he knows that if I see something lying around, I will nag him! So what does he do? He hides things under the couch…. nice. If he spills something on the floor, he will put newspaper over it, and move the furniture on top of it…
Well, thanks for letting me vent! This would be great to win!!
In my home the messer upper would probably be me for the most part. Our three cats can be a pain with the litter but I am the one who is ordinarily staining something or breaking something. Luckily there are no kids yet to deal with because it will be a challenge between me and them to be the most destructive, I am sure!
Besides my three children that obviously create quite a mess, my husband is the one that we have to clean up after. Leaving drinks around the house that leads to someone knocking them over. By far, he is the messiest one we have.
my toddler makes the messes!
I have 2 childrens who can be messy, but my cat is often one I am cleaning up after. If anyone has a drink out on the table or counter she will be sure to purposely knock it onto the floor when we aren’t around. Also, I hate to mention hairballs.
My stubbourne psychotic beagle is the messy one! He sneaks away and goes on the carpet in the basement becasue he doesn’t like going out in the cold.
Hmmm. My dog likes to go outside, eat grass, and then comes in the house and pukes it up later on the carpet. It gives him a little something to do.
In my house it is my 21 month old. He seems to think a dinner table is for decoration only. I am constantly cleaning his drink drips and crumbs off my carpet.
My 2 year old daughter creates the most mess in the house. She says “clean up, clean up” but messes more than cleaning. Thanks!
My 2 boys and the dog make the mess – I need help!! This would be great!
I would have to say that my dog makes the biggest mess with my husband coming in at a close second. He changes oil all day long, and needless to say, no matter how many times he washes up before coming home, he always tracks “garage grime” into the house.
The messer-uppers in our home are also the dogs! We have a yellow lab & a very sassy springer spaniel. Just Monday night the dogs got a ball in the house and had a great time playing with it in the living room before I got it from them…of course this was AFTER they made numerous muddy streaks along the carpet. How handy the Little Green would have been on Monday night! 🙂
Our one cat has a sensitive stomach. Unfortunately, he also likes to tip over the garbage can and eat whatever he finds. Then he throws it up on my *brand new* carpet 🙁
We borrowed one of these exact cleaners from a friend a couple months ago to clean a couple chairs we got off of Freecycle – it worked great!! We would love this!! Who makes the most mess? hmm, that’s a toughy – we have a 9yo boy, 7yo girl (who usually beats the boys in messses!), 5yo boy, and 18mo girl…….love them to death, but oh the messes they make!
my email is yeager_79(at)yahoo(dot)com
I have 18 month old twins, a 4 year old daughter, 1 dog, and a husband that works in the construction industry and checks on jobsites daily (tracking in all kinds of stuff). I don’t think I can pick which one is actually my mess-maker. They are all tied in my book!
My three year old son and my twenty month old son make most of the messes around my house. From sticky hand prints on the walls and doors to various stains on the carpet, I am constantly cleaning up something.

Oh, my (almost) 2 year old daughter, my husband, and our black lab make their share of messes. But honestly, I probably make more than my share! That’s what happens when I try to “multitask,” I guess.
My two cats are the ones that make the biggest messes in my house.
My biggest mess maker is definitely my dog right now. However, my son is getting to the point where his messes are increasing.
I must say that even though I have a two year old, lol, it’s my 19 year old son that makes a mess! Single mom trying to go after a 2 year old and than a 19 year old to keep things clean so the lil’ one doesn’t get in to ‘his mess’ can get frustrating at times!
Thanks for the opportunity to win this!
this would be great to win! between my husband, my 3 year old, my 7 month old, the dog and 3 cats, it’s hard to tell who makes the most messes. Probably the dog or my hubby. My email is kelcoled@aol.com. Thanks for the great giveaway!!

The biggest mess maker in my house is me! I’m constantly needing to clean up after myself and that Bissel would help!
I think it would be a tossup between my 5 yr. old grandson and our resident house dog. What one doesn’t think up, the other one does. It’s one big constant mess. Lucky me. I’m the picker upper and I really need one.
This would be AWESOME!!!
I think the biggest mess maker would be my 1 year old but my husband is partially to blame, well so am I. 🙂 My little guy love to pick up our drinks that we might leave on the table or counter, he’s too tall for his own good, and then of course spills them so we have pepsi spots and juice spots and milk spots and coffee spots, those were mine and thankfully I work on the same mug all day so if it’s sitting it’s cold.
This would be a dream for me. Thanks for the chance!

With two kids and two cats, you’d think they would be the problem, but it’s actually my husband. In the last two months, he has spilled coffee, beer, and soda (not to mention food drips) on my cream colored sofa. So he wins the prize in our house!
Oooh! I’ve wanted one of these for a loooong time. My son makes the most messes. Those crazy 2 year olds!
I have to say my husband creates the most mess on our floors. He is a Harley Davidson fan and wears boots with heavy lug soles. Those boots carry more snow, rain, slush, dirt and other debris into the house that all the rest of us combined. Plus they’re not easy to put on and take off so he wears them until he’s “done for the day.” The worst spot in the house is in front of his chair where his feet, and boots, sit. Welcome to my world.
Thanks for the reminder to get our carpet cleaned too. We have a dog, cat, and 3 young boys. The biggest mess-maker has to be the 2 year old!
Definitely my 4 kids! I could use some help…with the carpets and my sofa.
We have 3 cats and 2 dogs. Someone is ALWAYS hacking up a hair ball or running through the house with mud on their feet.
My 18 month old and 4 year old son.
Who makes the messes that I have to clean up? Well I have 2 teenage boys!!! Enough said?
I love your blog!
Thanks
Sharon
Well, I have 5 children and the messy one’s are my two youngest. They are 2 and 3 years old. I say that they are partners in crime. They love to go thru the house and just mess to be messing. I really think they love to see me with a broom in my hand.(ha ha) Thanks for the great giveaway.
My 2 year old makes a lot of messes. I’m trying to teach him how to drink from a “big Boys” cup right now and as you can imagine it leaves a lot of messes on our brand new carpet 🙁
Thank you for the great giveaway 🙂
Julie
My almost 4 year old and I make most of the messes in my home. She spills drinks and I spill just about everything!
I think it’s a toss up between my 2 year old and my husband. I have borrowed this green machine from a friend before and it is AMAZING! It really works well to clean up almost anything spilled!!!
Definitely the children make the mess, certainly not my husband or myself! 🙂
Definitely my daughter creates the most mess. She is just starting solid foods. Who knew a cheerio could be smeared all over a clean outfit?
My kids make the mess. Thanks for the chance to win this. I want to buy one of these if I don’t win.
Thanks.
The baby makes the biggest messes (followed by DH)!
I take care of my 3 grandsons. They are 2, 4, and 6 years old and out of the 3 of them, I would have to say the oldest one makes the most messes. Thanks for a great give away.
My two boys ages 5 and 4 make the worst messes. They are always getting into stuff they shouldn’t.
My 2 dogs usually make the big messes.
last second submission! My girls make the biggest mess in our home! Thanks! Lisa
