***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
Yes, this freebie is about cleaning, but the “nice” part of my post title risks being a major understatement. For instance, would you call this incredible Australian house that we virtually crashed back in February just “nice?”
Of course not. It’s amazing. Which is why we’re excited that those very homeowners are also the geniuses behind the luxurious and superbly eco-friendly cleaning line called Murchison-Hume. Even more excitingly, they’re sending over $250 worth of luxe home-cleaning products to one lucky reader’s casa (feel free to drool, since you’ll soon have something to clean it up with).
So why do we love Murchison-Hume? Let’s start with the design: vintage apothecary-style bottles that make any countertop photo-shoot ready. Then there’s the eco part. All products are premium organic and are based in the same technology that cleans up oil spills, meaning they’re completely non-toxic. Oh, and of course there’s the fact that they actually work – and smell great (mmm, Australian White Grapefruit). And yes this line (which you can find stateside in Anthropologie and in upscale shelter mags like Elle Decor) is pricier than your average cleaner, but you certainly get what you pay for. Plus, it never hurts to feel a bit fancy when you’re tidying up. In fact they sent some our way and we’ve never felt so elegant while getting our scrub on. There was even some raised pinky action while we went.
So here are the deets for this week’s giveaway, including all of the loot that our winner’s gonna take home…
- PRIZE: Murchison-Hume’s “Classic Six” boxed set, full refill set, Luxury Laundry Soak, Original Garment Groom, Hand Soap and their brand new hand cream.
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “KEEP IT CLEAN” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: … fess up about what you obsessively clean. Are you a frequent hand washer or teeth brusher? Does clutter on your countertop drive you nuts? Do you consider clothes to be dirty even if they’ve barely been worn?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, April 14th at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: Worldwide. That’s right, it’s fair game for everyone.
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

i hate clutter on my counter tops!
Erin says
Keep it clean! I would love to say I was obsessive about cleaning anything. I am an ardent hand washer, just need to apply that mentality to my floors, counters, table…
Jennifer says
Keep it clean! – Ugh, I despise a dirty dining room table (and floor), and am constantly wiping up all the crumbs, mess and gunk that 2 toddlers and a husband all make! :) Although, I am much better about the whole dining room now that we ripped up the pink carpet(!) under it. The hardwood cleans up much nicer and is so much more appropriate in an eating area for us!
Jess says
Keep it clean!!
Marina C. says
Keep it clean! Oh, I just found this site, and I am in LOVE!!!
Kelly P says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
Well, I obsessively wash my hands, but that’s about it. If only my house received the same treatment. Fingers crossed that I win – then I’d have a great reason to get excited about cleaning :-)
Leah says
Keep it clean… I’m kind of obsessive about my kitchen appliances, especially my stand mixer, being clean. I actually wish I was more obsessive about cleaning. It seems my cleaning is more intermittently compulsive, though – sometimes I just HAVE to clean the house.
Connie Serratt says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
Kitchen countertops – clutter drives me nuts, but even worse is the suspicion that our three cats walk all over them when we’re not home!
Melissa says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I’m obsessed about washing my hands, keeping the bed made, and closing the closet and cabinet doors.
Kristina says
Keep it Clean! Love your site. A friend of mine turned me on to it. :)
Katie says
keep it clean!
I can’t stand having a sink full of dirty dishes. Which is odd, because I’m okay with having the counters covered with them.
Kristen says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
Clutter, anywhere, drives me crazy. I can’t sleep if there are any little piles in the bedroom!
Mellisa says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I’m constantly cleaning the kitchen counters. That and closing cupboard doors. I hate it when they’re even a wee bit open.
KSG says
Keep it clean!! Hate, hate stacks of paper clutter, need to clean those up regularly.
C. says
Keep it clean…
Tina says
Keep it clean … HANDS…to keep us heatlhy
Amber says
Keep it clean! For me, kitchen countertops have to be clean. There can be a sink full of dishes and clutter everywhere, but if those countertops are clean, it makes the whole kitchen feel nice. Kind of like a made bed…it does wonders.
Kim says
Keep it clean! I’m a massive attempted clean freak about the kitchen and bathrooms, I have the bump-on Delta faucet so I don’t have to touch it with icky chicken hands, but I have one adorable little hitch in my cleaning giddy-up, namely a wee parrot. Parrots are crazy sensitive and may die when exposed to any form of odor or chemicals, burning candles is a no-no, plus DEFINITELY no bleach, ammonia-based cleaners, 409, or scented Mr. Clean. And I live in backwoods Nevada, so there aren’t exactly a lot of stores selling organic cleaner. So I’d love to try something organic that is totally safe and effective, for the whole family and for my little feathered child!
Elizabeth R. says
KEEP IT CLEAN! I must have my bedroom clean… Clutter stresses my out and I won’t be able to sleep.
Lara J. says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I am definitely big on clean kitchen countertops. And I hate barely noticeable little dust balls floating around on hardwood floors. Ugh.
Liz says
KEEP IT CLEAN! I must have the bathroom clean at all times…. because that is just gross.
LINDZ says
Keep It Clean! I love anything that smells good! I just like a fresh house!
Lisa says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I’m a compulsive laundry washer. I do a load almost every day and I’m constantly washing clothes that were barely worn.
Erin says
KEEP IT CLEAN! I am obsessed about cleaning the toilet bowl.
Jessica Hogue says
Keep It Clean!
ok… I WISH I was more compulsively clean cuz I am kind of a messy girl. However, I am pretty good at keeping my drawers tidy… I like my sock, undies, and everything uber organized — even if the house is not so tidy.
Bethany says
For me it’s my towels that I wash a lot. My cat loves to pull them down and roll on them so I go through way more than more people!
Tawny Bloom says
Keep it Clean!
Eco-friendly cleaning products, yay!
rachel says
Love it- looks pretty and I’m assuming it works great.
Lynn says
Keep it clean!
I keep my kitchen obsessively clean. I can’t stand the thought of cooking in a dirty environment!
BethG says
Keep it clean! Unfortunately, I’m a messy girl. I would LOVE to be more organized! Thanks for the giveaway!

catherine says
keep it clean, huh? yeah. the only thing i can truly keep clean is laundry. and it’s got to be the only thing i obsessively clean. i’m pretty good at toddler stain removing, and i think we wash at least a load a day. mostly because if anyone’s worn it once, it’s dirty. which i’m sure wreaks havoc on our water bill, but it’s included in the rent and doesn’t change monthly.
Rosy says
KEEP IT CLEAN – I… uh… I clean… but not obsessively. Wait! I obsessively clean OTHER people’s clutter. I will ignore my clothes on the floor and papers in piles, but will get annoyed and start cleaning my fiance’s stuff. Oops! :) I guess I should take a closer look at my own messiness.
amy says
Keep it clean!
I’m OCD everywhere in the house…but especially with towels and bed linens. But I do love my vacuum…and those lines it makes on the floor telling me it’s clean!
Brittany R says
Keep it clean! Total vacuuming freak – I totally agree with the lines on the floor.
deb quinones says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
My one obsession is my sock drawer. Clothes may be spilling out of all the other drawers, and piled on top, and waiting to be put away, but my socks are folded and neat and organized by color and season! A little bit of calm in the bedroom storm.
Becca says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I’m not obsessive about keeping anything clean, but maybe I can be…
Courtney McIlwain says
Keep It Clean I hate messy counter tops.
Margaret D says
“Keep it clean!”
I’m called the “garbage natzi” because I HATE garbage. If I see even a small piece of paper outside my house I flip out! I am always making sure our garbage bins are clean and not falling over. It takes all I can not to jump out of the car while I’m driving when I see tons of garbage on the side of the road. My husband thinks I’m a bit crazy and says I should work with garbage but I tell him I think I’d really go crazy, lol!
Christina says
Keep it clean
I’m OCD about cabinet doors and drawers being closed, the dishes/tupperware stacked and organized, and pretty much every surface cleared and clean. Too bad the hubby is quite the opposite!
Laura says
Keep it clean! I don’t know that I am obsessive about anything – but I really like to keep the house as picked up as possible with 2 kids and a shedding dog. I really like the counters and kitchen table to be wiped clean as often as possible.
LouAnn says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I’m obsessed with the kitchen sink being clean – and the countertops. Basically if the kitchen is clean, then there is a little bit of “peace” in my house. :)
Chris says
Keep it clean
I’m not really a clean freak about anything, but my wife sure wishes I was!
Christina W says
Keep it clean!
I’m a clean fanatic! I love everything being clean, cleared, and in its place. I’d love to get my hands on these Organic goodies !
Jamie says
KEEP IT CLEAN! I keep my hands quite clean (and moisturized). :)
Jarred says
KEEP IT CLEAN! Clutter is my enemy.
mary says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I just finished washing walls with Mrs. Meyers lavendar all purpose cleaner!
Fauve says
Keep it Clean!
I hate dust bunnies!
Susan Kelley says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I wash my hands so much that they are perpetually dry and flaky. But it keeps me from getting sick!
Beth R. says
Keep it Clean! I have OCD tendencies, and everything must be clean. My kids think I’m a little over the top, but clutter and dust bunnies and dog hair just make me crazy!!!
