***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!

I am such a clean freak! So, I clean everything and like it to stay that way. :)
Holyoke Home says

Honestly? I am not obsessive about cleaning anything. Seriously.
Rach says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
It wouldn’t be surprising if you opened drawers, cabinets, and closets to see them organized too! It’s ok to color code your clothes by style…right?!
Brent Carvalho says
KEEP IT CLEAN
Oddly enough, vacuuming is therapeutic!
emilia says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I obsess over cleaning just about EVERYTHING. The thing I constantly cannot stop cleaning though is our floors. We have laminate/faux wood floors, and I usually run my *shark vacuum (belovedly named sharky by my husband)at least once daily, followed by a quick swiffer sweep polish. I love a clean shiny floor! …Too bad it cannot stay clean for longer periods of time. :(
Chrysta says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I obsess about my kitchen countertop. Even if I didn’t put anything crazy on it I always want to use bleach on it at the end of the night.
Anne says
KEEP IT CLEAN
With a 2 yr old in the house, I find that I’m constantly cleaning just about every surface. Amazing how those little hands manage to put dirt in the most unlikely places!
Elizabeth L says
“KEEP IT CLEAN”
I hate clutter but you wouldn’t know it to look at my house.
Lisa says
KEEP IT CLEAN.
Yeah, not really a crazy clean freak. I guess my husband would say I am about hand washed dishes-they have to be washed in burning hot water. I feel like they’re not as sanitized as the dishwasher.
Katherine says
Keep it clean!
The kitchen counters. I am always scrubbing them. The thought of bacteria from food on the counters causes me to shudder.
Eva says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I loooove a clean house. It makes me feel like I have no worries in the world. I, however, hate doing it. What a conundrum!
Haley Adams says
KEEP IT CLEAN! I am obsessive about cleaning the kitchen sink… i can’t stand for there to be any food / drink residue, dishes, water spots, etc… I wipe it out every time after doing the dishes and make sure there is nothing at all in it! I wish others in the house kept it as clean as I like it =)
Misi says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I constantly wash my hands. Day in, day out. Even right after a shower, I wash my hands. My husband’s given up on trying to convince me that they’re clean.
Laura S says
KEEP IT CLEAN!!!
What a great giveaway!!! I love the bottles too and would certainly feel fancy using them!!!
heather says
I use all natural products to clean my home, but I’ll admit my house is a bit of a mess. Maybe these products will help me KEEP IT CLEAN!
As I said, I’m not the cleanest person ever, so I don’t have too many obsessive tendencies there. I do, however, floss my teeth about twice a day. Seriously. It’s a problem.
Rebekah M says
Keep it clean!
My hands! I wash them or use Purell ALL the time. After I touch a doorknob, shake hands with people, anything.
Kati Kronholm says
Keep it Clean! My work desk. It absolutely must be clean and clutter free–otherwise I cannot organize my thoughts!
Sarah F says
KEEP IT CLEAN!!
For me, I hate clothes on the floor! The hamper is my best friend:) I also need clean bathroom mirrors, hate the little spots!
Ashley says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I am obsessed with keeping kitty litter boxes clean. I hate the idea of any sort of smell associated with my furry monsters and know they are so particular that they do not like a dirty box!
jen says
keep it clean!!

Erin says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
My desk, I can’t stand the clutter.
Lauren Unthank says
KEEP IT CLEAN! I am obsessed with making sure the shower curtain is closed! That and making the bed! I just think it makes everything look so tidy! Plus we have a super cute shower curtain!
Adam R says
KEEP IT CLEAN for me means de-cluttering a room 4 times in a row! I will put things away and leave the room, only to return before the day is over and try to put even more things away. I am a bit obsessive about counters being spotless and all small items in their proper drawer, cupboard, shelf, nook, etc.
Jennifer says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I am always washing my hands. As a nurse in the newborn/infant ICU, I have to wash my hands alot! Thank goodness for Purell!
Hattie says
“KEEP IT CLEAN” I’d have to say our bed. I can’t stand to leave it unmade. No matter how early I have to leave in the morning, I have to leave the bed looking pretty and fluffed. Maybe it’s a nesting thing :-)
Barb L says
KEEP IT CLEAN! I prefer everything clean – countertopsm, floors, bathrooms. etc. I am very diligent about keeping a clean home.
Ute says
“Keep it Clean” is easier said than done. Especially with kids and pets coming in and out. I find that when cabinet doors are closed, closet doors are shut and dresser drawers are closed it automatically “feels” cleaner.
Mary says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
Carley says
Keep it clean!
I obsessively clean up behind my husband, shoes in the walkway, check, hoodie over the door, check, cup on the counter above the dishwasher, check!
Clara says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I’m just a titch compulsive (my husband would laugh at “titch”) about bathroom cleanliness. However, my compulsion doesn’t extend to cleaning the bathrooms, which my wonderful husband does (I clean the kitchen, and we split the rest of the house).
Katherine Healey says
“KEEP IT CLEAN”
These products look great for us and the world!
Jenny K says
KEEP IT CLEAN when the mother-in-law is on her way!
Jen says
Keep it clean!!
I obsess over cleaning my bedroom. After a crazy day, I like to be able to crash in a clutter-free zone.
Elizabeth says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I’m not typically a clean freak (although yummy smelling cleaning products might push me there!) but I HAVE to make my bed every morning. I’ve even tried to make it while my husband is still asleep in it!
Lauen says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I absolutely hate, hate, hate dirty, crumb-y, food splattered kitchen counter tops. I go out of my way to wipe them down whenever possible (at the smallest speck of food seen.) It’s too bad my boyfriend doesn’t feel the same way, hah.
rendy says
Help me KEEP IT CLEAN!! With four kids (preschool age to teens), a dog, and teaching art classes from my home, I can use all the help I can get!!
Renea H. says
Can’t wait to keep it clean.
sarah says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I tend to obsess about keeping my kitchen clean. It drives me crazy when there are dirty dishes in the sink or messy crumbs on the counter.
Abbey M says
Keep it Clean! I am a clean freak about my laptop keyboard and screen. It drives me crazy to see little dust bunnies peering up from between the keys.
Rachel L. says
KEEP IT CLEAN! And I can’t say I’m obsessive about anything at home…but…I my students tease me about how OCD I am in my classroom. I regularly clean desks (otherwise it would never get done!) and if the hand sanitizer, lotion and tissues aren’t exactly in the right spot, I have to go adjust them.
soii says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I’m currently living in China right now and there’s SO MUCH DUST in this part of the country. So I’m always dusting and vacuuming the house, my office desk… !! And every morning there’s always a thin layer of dust again so this is like my daily ritual :-P good thing i love to vacuum!! :-D
Abby says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I’m an avid sweeper :-) I sweep my house (we have wood floors through the house) daily! There’s nothing like walking on clean, cool 50 year old hardwood floors!
Shelly says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I clorox the door knobs all the time.
Amanda says

I LOVE your site. Thanks for the giveaway!
karen says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I am OCD about keeping my house clean and hand washing…hate junk and love to throw stuff away!
Janelle says
Keep it Clean!
I am constantly spraying the sink clean of even the tiniest crumbs. I hate gook in the sink!
Vilija says
I feel like I fight the good fight trailing behind my husband after meals. After spending much of my time cleaning up the house, the minute he is finished eating I immediately swoop in and clear his place trying to keep it clean! I am pretty good at turning a blind eye to other clutter or in creating small messes, but trying to keep the dining room table clean and clear means that I can always have a nice sit-down dinner with my husband.
Sara says
Keep it clean! I am very particular about both my sink and countertops being clean because I hate the thought of something unsanitary being left in an area where dishes and food prep are done! I have actually been looking up recipes for organic cleaners that also sanitize but I just haven’t gotten around to buying my essential oil and making it…hopefully I won’t need to! ;-)
Victoria says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I have OCD when it comes to cleaning. The thing I’m most fanatical about is clutter. I cannot stand to have the piles my husband creates–okay, I’ll admit that I create them too– on the counters. We recently renovated our kitchen so it drives me especially nuts now. I want to see those gorgeous countertops!
