***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!
There isn’t much I keep obsessively clean (who has time for that?!) but if I could keep something obsessively clean, it would be my bathtub. I love a squeaky clean tub for long, hot baths!
Suzanne says
KEEP IT CLEAN! I hate it when the hand towel in the bathroom is not folded propertly. the whole counter can be a mess, but i can’t let it sit in a pile…
Ann Parsell says
Keep it Clean! I’m a big hand washer and wash my kids hands a lot too.
Joanne says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I like to keep our entire place clean and organized at all times. The only room that sometimes gets some clutter is our bedroom. And that lasts for no more than a day. A clean house leaves me relaxed and calm – and ready for visitors at any time!
In terms of using household cleaners – I will never leave a dirty dish in the sink. I immediately wash or place in the dishwasher. If only my husband would do the same…. sigh….
Amanda says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I have to admit, I can be a little nutty about crumbs left on a counter top.
Rachel Z says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I wear things and need them washed almost instantly..mainly just tops..I guess I don’t like the idea of them being dirty!
Andie says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
Honestly I need to work on becoming a bit more obsessive about cleaning my house! My boyfriend is by far the more neat one. I do, however, HATE dirty nails, so I keep mine short (especially with house work and art projects) and I can’t see a woman with fake nails without thinking about how much dirt and germs are trapped under them. And guys with long nails too, ewwww.
Lynnita says
I don’t like for anything to be dirty!!!
Ashlie says

I’m a clean freak all around, but I just LOVE keeping the floors tidy with my Dyson vacuum!
Katie says
Keep it clean! Obsessive hand and feet washer!
gina says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I have to have a clean bathroom!
lynn says
KEEP IT CLEAN!!!!
What do I clean obsessively? Sponges! I skeeve sponges so even if I use them once I put them in the microwave or dishwasher to try to keep that sponge smell from coming but no matter how hard i try my boyfriend always leaves it in the sink where it gets covered with food and whatnot and I have to throw it away. Sponges don’t last 3 days in my pad :)
Kristen says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I like to clean the kitchen the most. There is just somethig about a nice clean kitchen that can’t be beat.
Marta says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I’m a stickler about a neat, clean bed.
Ana says
Keep it clean!!
I clean everyday and like everything in place but that is hard to do with a 1 and 3 year old
the chatty housewife says
Keep it clean! What beautiful cleaning supplies, I hope I win because I really want to smell them!
I love to keep the microwave clean. Every little spot must be wiped up as soon as it happens and if someone uses the microwave without covering their food I just hand them the dish cloth. :)
Amy E. says
Keep It Clean!
I obsess about vacuuming/cleaning dog hair. My dog sheds like none other, and I hate having dog hair on my clothes/furniture/floors. I seriously vacuum and sweep once a day and under furniture once a week.
Rena says
Keep it Clean.
Our dog sheds but we love her to pieces and just vacuum alot.
keri says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I clean everything – especially the kitchen
Kay Drew says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I have to have the bed made every morning before going about my day and I am constantly wiping down my kitchen counters. Keeping things tidy gives me a sense of control in a life that’s a little less predictable. :)
Jennifer says
Keep It Clean!
I obsess over tidying up, I’m constantly putting things away…then my husband can never find anything!!
Mary says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I can’t stand having dirty dishes on the counter next to the sink. Anything that’s waiting to be hand washed goes in a tub under the sink. But I’m very tidy and love keeping everything clean. (Too bad the hubby, two boys and dog don’t share my feelings.)
Megan says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I am obsessive when it comes to cleaning…. nothing, unfortunately! Maybe I need some fancy, nontoxic cleaner to help me clean up a bit. Although, I do clean out the toaster crumbs every week – is that obsessive?
April says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I absolutely can’t stand a dirty kitchen sink/counter top. Therefore, it is cleaned multiple times a day. :)
Elizabeth says
Keep it clean!
I love a nice, tidy desk. Even if I’m super busy and the rest of my house is a disaster, I try to straighten up my desktop and have a fresh start the next day. For me, an orderly desk means a (slightly) more orderly mind. :)
St says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I don’t really obsess over cleanliness. I can’t think of anything I always have to keep clean…except for ME. :)
Peggy says
KEEP IT CLEAN! Kitchen has to always be clean!
Barb says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I obsessed about the floors. Dust bunnies are huge if I don’t vaccuum everyday:)
Margo Norris says
KEEP IT CLEAN…I have been obsessive about washing/sanitizing my hands for about the past year (since the first reports of the apocalypse/H1N1) and so far so good (knock on wood!)
Rebecca says
Keep it clean!
Tee says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I clean my hands obsessively! Every time I walk in the door, touch something I don’t like, eat lol
Nika says
“Keep it clean” I have a toddler and a preschooler so I have given up on keeping anything obsessively clean. Someday…
Sara N. says
KEEP IT CLEAN!!!!
I have been known to spend an hour cleaning my vacuum cleaner! I LOVE to detail!! I will get out the Q-tips and tooth picks and go to town on any crook or cranny!
Melissa says
KEEP IT CLEAN
It really bothers me to have dirty dishes on the counter!
Amber says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I have to keep the bathroom countertop clean at all times.
Anita says
Keep It Clean!!
Bread and/or Toast crumbs bother me more than anything. I feel serious anxiety when they are left on the counter after breakfast – – and sadly it doesn’t bother my husband as much as it bothers me! Thankfully we now have a countertop that doesn’t emphasize the crumbs, so I at least get out the door and to work on time without having to clean the countertops before I can leave.
Jesse says
Keep It Clean!
I am obsessed with dusting, I live in a desert like environment and the house gets very sandy/dusty if I don’t!
Hanna says
Keep it Clean!
I’ve hit the nesting stage of my pregnancy so everything must be cleaned – grout with a toothbrush anyone!
Sarah Mc says
Keep it Clean!
I obsessively clean my twins’ high chair trays and the kitchen countertops. The rest of the house is a zoo but as long as those things are clean, I’m a peace.
Audrey M. says
Keep it clean!!!
Is it sad that nothing comes to mind? Maybe these cleaning supplies would bring out the OCD side in me!!
Molly says
My ‘KEEP IT CLEAN’ area of my house is definately my kitchen counter. It is a horrid stark white and shows any little crumb or coffee ground so between my Mrs Meyers Basil counter spray with a paper towel or dishsoap with a rag, I am constantly de-crumbing! I sure would be up to trying de-crumbing my counters with THIS lovely line of eco-friendly cleaners though! I love the packaging…I am such a sucker for aesthetically pleasing packaging!
Kristy says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
nancy from madison says
KEEP IT CLEAN! And by that, I mean my bathroom sink. Seriously, husband, clean up those whiskers when you’re done shaving. Drives me crazy.
Stephanie A says
Keep It Clean!
Apparently I obsess over my laundry. I didn’t realize this until my mother started helping me after our new baby was born, and she yelled at me for having so much laundry. Hey, I like my clothes clean. And if my counters are clean, then all is right with the world.
Ericka says
KEEP IT CLEAN! I guess I would say I am most obsessed with vacuuming the floors. I can’t do it as much as I’d like though with a toddler running around and a hubby who hates it when I vacuum!
Heather N says
Keep it CLEAN!
I think the bed must be made! Even if I don’t have time in the morning, I make it when I get home. Otherwise I feel unproductive and cluttered.
Kim McCoy says
KEEP IT CLEAN
Hands down the dishes. I can’t sleep when there is a dish in the sink. The rest of my house can look like a disaster area but there better not be any dirty dishes!
Katie says
KEEP IT CLEAN
A dirty sink really bothers me. Especially if there is toothpaste left it in…yuck!
Emily says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I clean my stovetop every day. I can’t stand a dirty stove!
Kelly says
Keep in Clean!
I am not so obsessed with cleaning, moreso with picking up! I am a SAHM, and I am forever picking up toys and lone shoes and pacifiers and banana peels!
