***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 need all counter/table tops to be clear of clutter unless we are using them – AND I need to floor to be vacuumed. It just feels so good if these two things are taken care of. :)
Kerry C says
KEEP IT CLEAN
Cleaning is my mission, to the point that when I wash my sheets weekly I take the time to iron and starch them so that they look crisp for the entire time to come before they are cleaned again! (it does make a difference – and the starch has a nice smell)
Erin Howard says

I’m a closet hand washer! It’s been that way since I was a kid! At least I was a clean one!
Colleen C says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I’d love to say I’m obsessed with cleaning something, but with 3 kids under 6, I’m lucky to get a maintenance level of cleanliness around here. Even so, I’d love to try out there products!
Jennifer Sandberg says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
My friends all say that I’m OCD. But you’ve heard that before. But really–I have to have the bed made, counters wiped (I’m constantly wiping my glass stove top). We have all hard woods-so the floors are dusted and mopped on the reg–and the bathroom sink (which is a work in progress for my partner Spencer) is mostly free of toothpaste, hair from shaving (Spencer) and the general muck. I would love to try eco-friendly swanky products as I live in the PacNW–and am always trying to find new ways to be more of a character :)

Countertops for sure! Always wiping them down!
jennalou says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
My biggest cleaning annoyance is when people leave cluttering on my dining room table. Things like bills to pay, jackets, keys, phones, pens, and other quickly dropped gadgets are frequently left here.
Kristel Armes says

I obsess over cleaning bed sheets! The thought of bed bugs makes my skin crawl.
rebekah says

I clean my kitchen counter tops obsessively. I hate the thought of germs from cooking with chicken or beef being left on the counter top. Eww!
Jill says

I am obsessive about keeping my floors clean! It’s a daily chore around these parts!

My kitchen counters! They must be clean… I’m quite obsessive :)

Kitchen counters are what I like to keep the cleanest. My husband will do the dishes, but he never thinks to wipe down the counters!
Kathy T says
Keep it clean –
The kitchen and the bathroom -The scents sound wonderful
Jen says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I am not obsessive about claening, which is good, considering we have kids and a dog. I am a bit obsessive about the products we use to clean though. These sound great!!!
Lisa says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I confess to washing my hands way too often. Oh, and insisting on cleaning up as I cook (wiping down counters, putting dishes in the dishwasher, washing out pots) so that I don’t have a mountain left to deal with after eating. Even if that means the food gets cold. I would love to win these cleaning products!

Frequent hand washer
Hate countertop clutter
I will re-wear clothes that were barely worn, depending on what I was doing while they were being worn
Tovah says
Keep it Clean!
I have two dogs so trying to keep on top of the dog hair is important. Those doggie hair tumbleweeds always make me feel like I’m doing a horrible job keeping a beautiful home so I vacuum a lot. I also like to make the bed everyday.
Marcia says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I am a total germ phobe, I wash my hands all the time!
Ash says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I worked for a few years as an elementary school custodian. (Does that get me bonus points in cleanliness? :P) As a result of that job, I obsessively clean sinks, including the underside of the hardware and the rim around the faucet drain. Sinks get SO GROSS!
Brooke says

Kristen Jackson says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I can’t stand anything on the kitchen counters! Anything from mail to a crumb drives me nuts!
Rachel says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I know I’m OCD. I can only wear a piece of clothing once, then it’s off to the washer. I’m also a huge duster, it makes things look clean and shiny.
Shailey says
Keep it clean — I have to have clean counters and the couch cushions in order!
Julianne Hendrickson says

Erin says
Keep it Clean!
I hate countertop clutter … I don’t like clutter anywhere really, but sometimes I’m just lazy so things get cluttered, but I can’t stand clutter on the counter.
I’ve found the best way to counteract clutter is to have people over for dinner. You will clean your house like you never have before.
Marcie says
KEEP IT CLEAN. But not too clean. A little dirt is good for you (makes for healthier immune systems according to some studies) and raising three kids I quickly learned that 1) The house won’t stay clean for two minutes anyway and 2) It only causes lots of grief for everyone if you’re too obsessed about it.
Molly says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I can’t stand any dirt, crumbs, food, etc. on the kitchen and dining room floor.
eleonora says

I’m obsessed with a clean bathroom…and I can’t stand dust!
crystal says
keep it clean! i’m not really an obsessive cleaner…just when i’m in the mood or it really needs it!
Larissa says
Keep it Clean!
Counter tops are what I clean obsessively. A place for food prep should always be clean and it totally grosses me out when I go to peoples houses and the countertops are yucky!
elizabeth says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I obsess over keeping my bathroom clean. The rest of the house can look like a tornado hit it, but I cannot stand a dirty bathroom!
CARIE says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
dishes!
Christy says
KEEP IT CLEAN. As to what I meticulously
clean? Everything! Especially the lint out of the dryer vent. Also, polishing the stainless steel appliances. Oh that shine!
Briel K. says
Keep It Clean!
I tend to wash my hands frequently when I’m doing my second job which is pet sitting. Dealing with cat litter, dog poop, etc., I always want to make sure my hands are clean after!
hillary says
Keep it clean!
I like to have countertops clear but that is because I see them all the time. Other, less well used spaces are fair game for more clutter.
Alyssa says
Keep it clean!
Obsessive about my electronic toothbrush. What?!…it goes in my mouth!
Libby says
KEEP IT CLEAN
That’s pretty much what I try to do everyday with three little ones running around. As far as my “key” must keep clean areas – kitchen counter tops and floors – especially with a baby that is starting to crawl around!
Casey L says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I’m OCD about my personal work space, but as far as cleaning goes, I wash my clothes entirely too much. Even if I only wear an outfit for a few hours in the evening, it generally ends up in the laundry. I’m a freak about hand-washing as well! I would love to try these eco-friendly products! :)
Kate says
KEEP IT CLEAN! I obsessively clean my kitchen. It’s the first you room you enter in my home and I want it to SPARKLE!!!
Amy Wolff says
Keep it Clean!!
Unfortunately, I am not obsessed with cleaning anything!! LOL! I do the best I can and just let the rest go. I have better things to be doing that cleaning. But, these products look so good and sound like they smell amazing. I could probably be convinced to clean a little bit better if I had them. :)
Emily H. says
Keep it clean!
Whenever we clean the apartment I get a little nutty, down on my hands and knees scrubbing under the stove and whatnot…
Lily says
KEEP IT CLEAN!!!
I am OCD about using my MH handwash in both the kitchen AND the bathroom. No other handwash will do! I am also a stickler for handwashing. Having health problems makes it not negotiable, hands carry germs!! :)
