***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 constantly fighting the pets over decorating styles. They prefer nose-smudged windows, hair-laden upholstery, and drool-splotched coffee tables… while I DO NOT!
Adriene S. says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I really can’t stand clutter. If you like ‘knick-knacks’ you can display them in a stylish way like in on a tray, in a jar or in a basket not in a pile on the dresser. I clean when I’m upset or I need to think.
Heidi says
“KEEP IT CLEAN”
I hate clutter – anywhere in the house, but especially the places that we really “live” in (i.e. kitchen and family room).
Melissa says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I am always cleaning my shower stall and mirros. I hate seeing water droplets and streaks.
Katie says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I don’t love dust or dog hair!! I am always vacuuming, as little Ollie the French Bulldog is crazy good at shedding.
Dirty kitchens aren’t my favorite either! A clean sink = A happy me!
Charity says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I’m not sure I obsessively clean anything! In fact, my husband is the one that cleans the most. How luck am I? I’m sure he would LOVE these products and heck…maybe I will clean more too :)
Heather G. says
Keep it clean!
I am obsessed with dusting. The living room table/TV’s.
Vanessa says
KEEP IT CLEAN
A clutter free house, as much as possible, and everything has to have its place..
Pam Power says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I am very very anal about the clothes on the floor. My husband gets so annoyed because he just drops his clothes on the floor clean or dirty. So he is always looking to wear something that may be clean, but because it was on the floor, I grab it and put it in the laundry. :)
Julie says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
The kitchen countertop is what I obsessively clean… Somehow a clean kitchen makes my whole house feel instantly “cleaner”! Thanks for the chance to win!
Danielle says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I clean my floors like it’s nobody’s business.
Julie says
Keep it clean!
I HATE dirty floors! With two dogs I vacuum every day and mop at least 3 times a week. White socks should stay white after walking on my floors or they’re not clean enough!
meghan @ Inspired Nest says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I am obsessed with keeping the floors clean….especially in our all white kitchen. I can’t stand little bits and crumbs sticking to my feet (with a 2 year old the crumb trail never stops)
Rachel R. says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I hate shiny things that get smudgy (iPhone screen, stainless steel, etc.) so I either am obsessive about cleaning or I avoid at all costs.
Jen says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I’m pretty weird about laundry, dog hair and (as a dental student) teeth!
Kate says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I can definitely get behind in regular house cleaning, but I try to keep our guest room looking nice at all times, with clean sheets on the bed. It is the only room in our house that the dogs aren’t allowed in. You never know when someone will drop by for a night! :)
(Of course, as I type the guest room is actually taken over by our new diy headboard that I am painting (white!) as it is raining and I can’t paint on the patio as per usual.)
Mary B says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I am trying to be more considerate about leaving clothes every where. My husband and I are definitely NOT clean freaks, but we are trying to be on the tidier side!
Kimba says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
Crumbs! Crumbs! Crumbs! They’re my never ending battle. I could vacuum the kitchen every day but still, CRUMBS!
Cate says
Keep it clean! Clutter anywhere doesn’t last too long in our house.
Ashley E says
KEEP IT CLEAN
The stainless steel fridge drives me crazy. I keep a microfiber cloth right next to it, so I can wipe it down while I am being indecisive about dinner!
Candace says
KEEP IT CLEAN
Definitely conscious (overly?? :)) on keeping my hands clean! Also a MUST to have the sink & counter cleaned and cleared all dirty dishes…even if it means loading the dishwasher at, ahem, MIDNIGHT and washing the large pieces by hand. Living in the south has made me aware of some…unwanted house-guests–eek!….that I do not wish to enable in populating! :-) KEEP IT CLEAN :)!!
Karen says
Keep it clean!
I’m actually kind of messy, my fiance is the clean freak so I guess we go well together!
Vanessa says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I hate sticky, gunked up bottle caps (ketchup bottle and laundry bottle seem to be the worst in my house). It seems like I am always removing and rinsing them or trying to come up with ways to keep them from getting sticky in the first place. For example, I now toss the laundry cap right in with laundry for a good spin cycle. Comes out gunk-free everytime!
sarah thomas says
keep it clean!
Charlynne says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I like a clean kitchen counter.
NatalieG says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
Ok ok you got me. *sigh* I am an obsessive hand washer… like “wash my hands between each step while cooking” obsessive. It’s kind of funny/sad considering how much time I spend cooking and gardening.
Carey says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
Clutter doesn’t bother me and neither do crumby floors (to a point!) but I am a constant handwash-er. Must be my medical background :-)
becca says
keep it clean!
i obsessively vacuum. seriously. i have issues.
Kalee says
KEEP IT CLEAN! I have nail scrubbing brushes at every sink. My biggest pet peeve is people who are out an about with dirty nails (I’m not talking about at say, Home Depot where it’s expected or a garden center).
Amie & Abbey Cat says
KEEP IT CLEAN
and good for the earth!!
Because lord knows I get NO help cleaning around the house, at least I could feel luxurious doing it!
Amanda says
KEEP IT CLEAN! I’m a stickler for floors. I have to vacuum at least every other day, steam clean the carpet once a week, and scrub the tile floors at least twice a week…I’m crazy – but I also have an almost two year old who’s always playing on them (or eating off them….) :)
Elizabeth says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I hate dust, which makes for lots of dusting in our tiny house!
Funnelcloud Rachel says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I’m constantly battling dog hair and muddy paw prints!
Emily Rae says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I hate having dirty counters. And grimy whiteboards drive me bonkers, too.
Rachael says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I can’t stand any clutter on my kitchen counters–that’s always the first to go!
Jessica says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I hate having clutter on the dining room table. It’s the room we walk into, so that’s generally where we drop everything…
Garret says
Keep It Clean! I try and keep our towels in our house nice and orderly. Folded, hanging on the bar rather than dropped on the floor.
Emily E. says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
Cat hair on clothing! It simply doesn’t belong there.
Kara says
KEEP IT CLEAN
My stovetop has to be spotless… and my counters are usually pretty bare and clean… and then I am quite an obsessive tooth/teeth brusher… or maybe just anal all-around.
Lissa says
“KEEP IT CLEAN”
Mine would have to be floors. I will even skip dusting but make sure all the floors are spotless….counterintuitive I know, but I like to walk around the house barefoot.
karen says
“KEEP IT CLEAN”
Every room in my home is clean and organized. It makes life simpler.
I have to wipe my sink out everynight and spray the kitchen counters with a daily cleaner.
Kelsey McCorkle says
KEEP IT CLEAN
In my case – scrub those kitchen counters like there’s no tomorrow!
Tracy says
KEEP IT CLEAN
dog hair and a full recycling bin. obsess over them both.
Sarah L says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I am obsessed about the hall bathroom (that guests use). For some reason I feel like a speck of anything on the toilet or sink destroys my entire cleaning self esteem.
Kate says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I obsessively organize things into drawers, baskets, folders. It wasn’t until I moved in with my boyfriend that I knew it wasn’t completely normal to love the Container Store so much.
michelle says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
Being a schoolteacher, I love things being clean and orderly. I’m an obsessive hand-washer-and-sanitizer, and I’m also a firm believer in giving everything a place to belong. When a student has papers hanging all over the desk, I point and shout, “Give your papers a home!”
Emily D. says
“KEEP IT CLEAN”
I wash my hands every time I am near a sink, and if I’m not and they feel icky, i sanitize. I can’t go to bed or out of town with dirty dishes. Some call me crazy, some a clean freak, but I say thats ok, because I have clean hands and dishes :)
Morag says
KEEP IT CLEAN – my kids’ fingernails are filthy. I know they had fun when they are so dirty but it gives me great satisfaction when I get the dirt out!
Briana says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
Melissa says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I’m not obsessive, but I like keeping the guest bathroom tidy. Unfortunately, my kids can’t seem to hang up a towel, put a toothbrush away, or even flush. *sigh*
