***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!

Amanda Glenn says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I’m obsessively clean about everything. My husband and I are newlyweds, and he’s still getting used to my super clean habits.
Gretchen says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I have to have a clean sink all the time. And I’m an obsessive vacuumer. It’s actually very strange, but I feel like it’s an instant home makeover every single time!
Hello. My name is Gretchen, and I can’t. stop. vacuuming.
Elizabeth G says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
There definitely isn’t anything that I have an obsession with cleaning. I’m more of a relaxed, go with the flow type person. Things are clean, but nicely cluttered
Honey B. says
My fess up about cleaning is, the dishes…
I was an OR nurse which put my OCD streak on overdrive! I organize dishes in the order of clean (relatively), clean-contaminated, contaminated, or dirty. I change out the scalding hot water between every dishes type, and usually twice for contaminated or dirty!
Its obsessive I know…and oh, if my husband does dishes, I can’t watch…lol
Laurie says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I always keep a box of Baking Soda next to the sink – best “scrubber” there is for dishes!
Brooke says
‘KEEP IT CLEAN!’
I’m obsessive about cleaning all my stainless steel products, like the fridge, the oven, the kettle. As soon as anyone goes near them they seem to smudge finger prints on them.
Susan S. says
Keep it Clean!
It’s gross but to me, there is nothing worse than walking into a bathroom and seeing a dingy or less than pristine toilet. Can you say yuck with a side of ick?
I used to be mad for those blue drop in tank thingies but after moving to England where recycling is more or less mandatory, seeing how much trash we’re keeping from the landfill by recycling has really caused a lightbulb, one family can really make a difference moment for us on the eco front. So that made me feel a bit iffy on putting that blue stuff x3 for each bathroom into the sewer system each and every month.
So instead I’ve switched to an organic ‘green’ bowl cleaner even though it means more time swishing and swirling than before. On the other, my bathrooms feels clean and are softly scented by soy vanilla bean candles instead of caustic cleaners.

I hate clutter – my husband loves it. So we have a constant battle over countertops and dresser/desk/table tops. Unfortunately he has entropy on his side. :)
Tasha says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I can’t stand coffee spots on my counter. So every time I make coffee I have to wipe up any spots. :)
Tamsyn T. says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
The stove top must be clean. Little crumbs and spills just make the whole kitchen seem dirty!
Kate says
Keep It Clean!
Ever since we had our son I’ve been washing my hands like crazy…must have been all those diaper changes! He’s 5 now though, but now it’s the dirt that finds it’s way in the house… :)
Great Giveaway! Cheers!
Sarah Sarniak says
I could totally “KEEP IT CLEAN” with these products! lol I don’t obsessively clean, but I could really use some better products to make it easier. I also am about to start (like most people) my major spring cleaning – which is always a hoot.
Erin B. says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I am vigilant about keeping the house smelling fresh…with a cute little mutt that likes to sleep in the house all day-it’s no easy task!
Hannah says

Whitney says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I organize everything..I even organize clutter! lol That way, I always know where everything is, things have their own little places, and my space appears neater, even when it is overwhelmed with stuff! I also have a dusting habit, both at work and at home. My boss probably thinks I’m crazy. :)
Samantha says
Keep it clean!
Maddie T says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I definitely like to clean. We’re in NYC so our little apartment can’t get too dirty before it starts to drive me absolutely nuts!
Jenae says
KEEP IT CLEAN!!! I HAVE to make my bed every morning. For some reason that seems to make all the difference, a neat and tidy bed just makes the room feel clean.
tanya says
KEEP IT CLEAN! I clean the bathroom everyday.
kristy says
KEEP IT CLEAN

cate L. says
Keep it clean!
Rachel says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I am obsessive about having no dirty dishes around or in the sink. Just wash what you use when you are done, it’s way easier than leaving it to dry and get dirt-caked. Gross. I drive my roommates crazy with dishes requests. :o)
chelsea says
KEEP IT CLEAN! Um, yes please!! I would loooove to get my hands on some of that! And I am obsessed about the countertops and sink. As much as my one year old is on the floor it probably should be the floor, but it gets old having to mop it after each one of his meals.
jen says
KEEP IT CLEAN!!
the floors. I like the floors to be clean. Clutter on clean floors looks lived-in. clutter on dirty floors looks like squalor. Plus it’s nice to walk on clean floors with bare feet without having to stop every so often to wipe the crud off :)
Lynette says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I love a tidy living room, but there is always a layer of cat fur not long after I clean it :(
Meredith says
Keep it clean!!
There are so many areas I want to be clean, but for me the kitchen doesn’t feel clean unless the sink is clear. I hate dirty dishes sitting around.
Kelly says
KEEP IT CLEAN…I hate paper piles.. I am obsessive about hiding all paperwork and magazines (unless they look good on display) in drawers.
Holly says
KEEP IT CLEAN
Kitchen counters HAVE to be clean before I can even sit down to a meal. The sink can be full, but the counters must be cleared and wiped down!
Ring says
Keep it clean!
I’m obsessed about keeping the kitchen clean…but not much energy left for the rest of the house.
katie k says
keep it clean! i keep the kitchen sink clean… i heard once it’s the dirtiest place in the house, but certainly not mine. :)
emily says
Keep it clean!
My husband and I work in health care and we are big fans of hand-washing … but we could use some help in keeping our home clean :)
Katie B. says
KEEP IT CLEAN! I am a non-clutter person…it’s funny my husband and I have “discussions” about clean vs. clutter and our differing views…he says something can be cluttered but still clean and I think it should be clutter free to be clean…I guess technically he’s right but usually I win!
Nat says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I obsessively clean my front hall. It’s the first area visitors see, so it needs to be just right.
bailey says
Keep it clean!
I have to have my desk clean and uncluttered at the end of every work day…I hate starting my day with clutter!
Carrie says
KEEP IT CLEAN! As a teacher my hands always have to be clean. I can’t even count the number of times I wash my hands while at work. At home I’m a freak about the kitchen counters. They have to be free of clutter and wiped down every day. Who can feel inspired to cook in a dirty kitchen?
Beth says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I obsess about the clutter on our dining table. It becomes a catch-all for everything that is carried into the house after work. The piles make me cringe and I nag and redistribute constantly! Running a close second to that is the laundry. My philosophy? Once and done. Rarely do we wear things more than once without washing them, even its its only for a few hours. Okay, so this one is slightly more obsessive… :)
Renae says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I’m OCD about scrubbing the kitchen sink. Weird I know.
Leslie Berckes says
Keep it clean!
My cleaning habit is hit and miss. Sometimes I go crazy with the cleaning and drive my husband crazy. Next minute, I can be pretty lazy about it and just let things slide by. However, the dishes always have to be clean.
Karen says
KEEP IT CLEAN!!
I HAVE to have clean sheets – constantly changing the sheets on our bed, nothing feels better than freshly laundered, dried in the sun sheets xo
Leigh says
Keep it clean!!
Emily says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I obsessively wash my cat’s food bowls and tray. The cats are complete slobs when they eat, so I have to constantly clean!
Denise says
Keep It Clean!
We have 2 new showers with glass doors and we understand the best way to keep them clean is to towel dry the tile and squeegee the glass after each use. So far, so good!
Season says
“KEEP IT CLEAN”
I obsessively wash my hands. Plus, I clean the countertops like crazy!
khaki says
KEEP IT CLEAN!!!
I AM a compulsive cleaner. I like everything better clean. I am happier when things are clean. I get REALLY obsessive about cleaning before a trip so I can come home to a clean home! Top obsession would be kitchen counters…and bathrooms…mirrors…it goes on…
Cynthia says
KEEP IT CLEAN! I love seeing my small kitchen counter area clear, clean — and ready for me to do more cooking.
Kris S says
Keep it clean!
I find just looking at cleaning products which are eco friendly with lovely, elegant labels makes me want to clean more! I obsessively clean: my bathroom sink. One spec of dust (or one strand of hair! I shed like crazy and my boyfriend, I hate to say it, is losing his a bit..) and I feel like the nice, white sinktop is totally spoiled.
Annie says
Keep it Clean! Especially the bathroom! I am obsessive about cleaning the bathrooms and to a lesser extent the kitchen. However, I am a failure when it comes to the bedrooms! I let them get pretty cluttered before I’m motivated to clean.
Holly says
Keep it clean!
My husband has a habit of draping towels over doors to dry, rather than hanging them up after his shower. It drives me nuts so in this house I made sure that we are towel-bar free…only hooks for us!! Too bad it hasn’t broken him of his door-draping habit!
