***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!

KEEP IT CLEAN
I’m pretty obsessive about keeping the kitchen clean, because it is the one place that matters most to my wife. But by nature I’m not an obsessively clean person. :)
Meredith says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I *hate* a messy work surface—everything has to be put away before I leave the office!
Shea says

Meaghan says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I am an obsessive-compulsive hand washer
Robyn in Chicago says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I can not stand un-organized clutter. So, even though clutter isn’t ideal, it’s sometimes unavoidable…but it has to be in neat piles otherwise I go crazy.
Julie says
Keep it Clean!
Oh man….I don’t obsessively clean anything, but I do like my countertops neat, and I hate to see my bed unmade.

KEEP IT CLEAN! I like to keep my whole house in order constantly…I can never let the house get to a point where it’s just a mess…it has to at least be an organized mess :-)
Kate G. says
KEEP IT CLEAN!

JENNIFER F says
Keep it clean! I am OCD about clutter. My husbands office stresses me out just being in it because all of his mail is just scattered all over the desk. OK…I’ll calm down now :-)
Paola says
KEEP IT CLEAN!!
Carly says
KEEP IT CLEAN! I dust probably everyday. We have a lot of Espresso colored furniture and it really shows dust and that drives me crazy!
Heather says
KEEP IT CLEAN. I am a pretty neat and organized person.. I like to have things in their place and my kitchen island HAS to be clean.. I am anal about it.

I don’t obsess about keeping anything clean… that’s probably why I could use these products! Haha.
Bridgit says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I am obsessed with keeping my kitchen counters clean. I clean all clutter and spray them down first thing in the morning.
Michelle says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I’m kind of sloppy. I think the only thing I keep obsessively clean is myself — I wash my hair every day and sometimes take a decadent second shower (especially if I’ve been playing with the cat and am full of his buff-colored fur).
kim says
KEEP IT CLEAN
My kitchen must stay clean! Makes me feel better even if the rest of the house is chaos.
Jenney says
Keep it clean!
I’m more of a neat freak than a clean freak, but a dirty kitchen seriously stresses me out. I can’t think straight until the counters are wiped down, the stove is free of splatters, the sink is empty (and clean!) and the floors are swept. My husband probably thinks I’m nuts, but who wants to eat or cook in a dirty kitchen??
Brien says
KEEP IT CLEAN
Making the bed. If it doesn’t get done in the am, I have been known to make it right before we go to bed.
Cathryn says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
We live in a smaller home, so we keep it feeling open and light by keeping piles of clutter off of all our flat surfaces. This is the last swish through the house I make at night, putting things away so I can wake up to a clean house each day.
Dena says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I don’t think I’m obsessive about cleaning anything.
julie says
KEEP IT CLEAN …
Dishes in sink, on counter etc drives me nuts. Must be washed & put away! and I own an older home with no dishwasher so its all hand washing for me.

Katie B says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I obsessively shine our countertops. :)
Katie says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I wipe down my kitchen counters multiple times per day and never leave the appliances out- too much clutter!
Jill B. says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I can’t stand to have a dirty sink! It drives me crazy to have dishes just left in there or coffee that wasn’t rinsed out!
Shannon T. says
KEEP IT CLEAN
In my head, I am a clean freak. It’s the execution part I can’t keep up with, so maybe some yummy smelling all natural cleaning supplies will keep me motivated!
Gayle says
KEEP IT CLEAN…I feel so much better when my home is clean.
Emily says
KEEP IT CLEAN! I have to make my bed every day, even if it is right before I get in it for the night (althought it is almost always done in the morning). I also always like the bathroom and kitchen floors to be spotless.
M. Steele says
Keep it Clean!
Yes, Yes and Yes.
I have obsessively washed my hands for the most part of my life. I think it has to do with always having an inside dog. I love to pet them but can not fight the urge to wash my hands immediately after.
I HATE clutter on the counter tops, and even more….crumbs!
However, I am uber relaxed about my personal laundry. I re-wear items often to save time, energy, and water to wash them.
Lindsay says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I’m an obsessive hand washer and I can’t STAND crumbs on my kitchen counters, so those get wiped down before AND after I use them. :)
Patty A says
KEEP IT CLEAN. I must clean every day. Clean the kitchen, wipe down the sinks, wash a load of laundry every day and straighten, straighten, straighten. It’s therapeutic doncha think?
Theresa S. says
“KEEP IT CLEAN” I frequently wash my hands and I’m also checking the baby’s (age 2)nose. They(young kids)can/will do some embarrassing and funny things in public.
PS God Bless Your New Famlly Member!
Chris says
Keep it Clean!
I wish I was a neat freak…unfortunately the only thing I really care about being clean is the sink.
Jana says
KEEP IT CLEAN!!
I am obsessive about…cleaning anything but the kitchen. I’ll climb on chairs to dust rarely-seen dust bunnies on shelves before I’ll just go wash the dishes.
CarrieK says
KEEP IT CLEAN!!
I have braces, so I’m an obsessive teeth brusher.
Sadly, I don’t obsessively clean anything, house-wise. Our two dogs pretty much made me give up in that department! I mean, it’s not a pig-sty, but I wouldn’t eat off the floor! =)
alma says
KEEP IT CLEAN!!!!
I obsess about the bathroom sink!!!!! I clean it each time I’m in there.
Rebecca says

I like to have a very clean belly button and ears…too much info?
Emily says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I am not fastidious about cleanliness, but tidiness is another matter. Not a single item is out of place in my drawers or closets, ever.
lauren says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I’m a frequent hand washer — like if touch a door knob, I immediately go wash (and of course use a paper towel after washing to open the bathroom door).
