***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 obsess about the clutter on the counters and on the coffee table! I hate having mail, or papers, or any “everyday” stuff laying around. If I had it my way that stuff would never touch down in the Kitchen or living room… If I could just get my laid back husband to obsess about cleaning these things too.
Ashley Lovett says

I am obsessive about having a clean computer desktop. Everything has a file and even files have files!
Cat says

I can’t stand when my kitchen’s a mess!
Stephanie ("Mrs.BigTime") says

I’m not the best cleaner, but cluttered countertops drive me nuts!
Mel says
Keep it clean!
I am obsessed about tidiness in the evenings before bedtime. We have 2 small daughters and our floors are often filled with toys and stuff. I cannot go to bed before I have cleaned up everything, washed dishes, put away all clothes and things etc. All things must be in perfect order so that I can wake up in the morning to perfectly clean apartment. Unfortunately it looks as messy as day before in few hours, so I can start over in the evening :)
Kelly says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
Clutter drives me crazy – especially junk mail – and I obsessively throw it away as quickly as I can…to the point that my husband fishes fliers out of the trash when I dispose of them too quickly!
Jenn R. says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I’m big on hand washing, probably because we don’t keep our house clean enough for my taste with our German Shepherd running around. My poor husband thinks I’m nuts, but thankfully he washes up when I ask.
Katie says
KEEP IT CLEAN! I’m obsessed with keeping our hardwood floor gleaming. Love the new steam mops on the market because they’re free of chemicals!
Sarah @ Dream In Domestic says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I wash my hands many times a day – not necessarily because I’m a germophobe but because I can’t stand the feeling of anything besides a think layer of lotion on my hands – so if I touch something and I can feel it on my hands, I have to wash them. I am getting better about not throwing barely worn clothes in the hamper. I can wear the same pair of pants for a couple of days, but shirts I usually wash even if I only wear them for a little bit. It’s a bad habit!
Pauline says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I would say I’m a clean freak in general but what really gets me is counters, bath, kitchen, any counters really. I wipe them down at least 5 times a day. I can not stand toaster crumbs and such!
Ana says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I’m always sweeping up doggie hair tumbleweeds.
Rebecca Taylor says

KD says
Keep it Clean, Please and Thanks.
I’m a quasi-clean fanatic. The shower must always sparkle but if shoes are left in the living room…meh, I’ll get those up tomorrow.
Thanks for the opportunity.
Christina Peterson says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I obsess over shoes left at the front door. Seeing the clutter when I walk in the house drives me crazy, so I just keep my shoes on inside, which drives my husband crazy!

Jeff says
KEEP IT CLEAN
My wife thinks I’m crazy, but I always make sure our dog Bo’s face is clean :)
Whitney says
KEEP IT CLEAN!!
I am definitely not an obsessive cleaner. My husband, however, insists that dishes are practically washed before we put them in the dishwasher. What’s the point of the dishwasher if we have to wash um before we put um in there!? haha
Liz H says
KEEP IT CLEAN!!!
I constantly take everything out of the kitchen cabinets, refrigerator, and pantry; clean and wipe down all of the shelves and then re organize.
megan says
Keep it clean!
I work as a nurse in a pediatric bone marrow transplant unit. We obsess about literally everything even remotely germy, so i can’t help being like that in my own home. I think I wash my hands probably 50 times a day! One added plus – I can’t remember the last time I was sick!
abby says

I am a kitchen counter freak. I clean it constantly!
Robin says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I’m obsessive about dishes. I can’t possibly understand why you would leave dishes on the counter, or in the sink when its just as easy to put them in the dishwasher. I hate seeing dirty dishes in the house!
Ris says
Keep it Clean!

My fiancée will tell you that I like to clean even on Sunday morning at 8am!
whitney says
KEEP IT CLEAN! I go crazy when my desk at work isn’t tidy.
Brooke Schaefer says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I am a HUGE hand washers. I am a nurse in a newborn intensive care unit and they are constantly drilling in us that lack of hand washing is the number one way to spread disease. At work I wash my hands at LEAST 65 times a day. I do slack up at home and act more normal about it, but at work it is game on.
Sarah says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I hate a cluttered workspace. Neat piles or bust!
Stacey says

KEEP IT CLEAN
michelle says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I am obsessive about sparkling clean dishes and other kitchenware. We don’t have a dishwasher in our apartment, so this takes some doing. I have been known to scrub things 2-3 things to make them spotless. I’m also obsessive about all of my stainless steal pots/silverware being shiny – water spots and tarnishing gross me out for some reason. This is probably not very practical considering my limited kitchen space and lack of a dishwasher, but there you have it….
Danae V. says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I’m in a constant battle with the mail. Danae – 0, Mail -3217

My wife complains that I leave clothes on the bedroom floor, but I can’t put clothes that I’ve warn back into the closet, even if I just wore them for a few hours inside the house.

Jennifer R. says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
Often I’m tempted to run the dishwasher before it is full, just so everything is clean and put away. I love clean dishes.
Rachel says
Keep it clean!!
I dust all the time. We have dark wood furniture and it’s always dusty!
