***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 have self-diagnosed myself with OCD… Obsessive CLEANING Disorder! Living in a small apartment with a dog means staying on top of cleaning as much as possible! Sometimes I’ll clean the kitchen just for that nice clean smell from the spray!

KEEP IT CLEAN
I have to have clean hands. I take hand sanitizer with me at all times. I know not to over use that stuff, but it is good to have around when soap and water isn’t nearby. I am not quite OCD about it, but you could say I am right at the borderline.
Claire says
Keep it Clean!

Unfortunately, I’m only obsessive about cleaning if I know I’m going to have company come over. Then I’m obsessed about cleaning EVERYTHING. Even down to the tiniest little details that guests would probably never notice.

I do laundry every single day of the week. At least one load a day and it’s just the two of us…no kids yet! I insist on a load a day even if it’s just two pairs of socks and two pairs of unmentionables! I hate to get behind on laundry and get stuck schlepping and folding large loads around the house! I know, I know, not exactly GREEN of me, but gotta get ahead some how ;)
