***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 – My kitchen needs to be clean every night. At least no dirty dishes in the sink!
Kristyn says
KEEP IT CLEAN! I obsessively clean the kitchen counters. Even if I know there hasn’t been anything that could make people sick on them I can’t stand for there to be drops of water or crumbs – if I didn’t put it there it could be ANYTHING!
Shannon says
KEEP IT CLEAN… I’m obsessed with organizing more than cleaning, there’s nothing like having a place for everything and everything in it’s place!
Candace says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I’m a complete clean-freak! I sanitize the entire kitchen after each time I cook, which is usually twice a day! I also do an entire wipe down of all bathroom surfaces, dust and vacuum at least twice a week! yikes. I could sure use some luxury cleaning products!!
DianneLisette says

Stacie Suedkamp says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I’ve been known to re-wash fabric that I stash for crafting. I’m not sure why, exactly – I just know that sometimes the same piece of fabric will washed a few times before it gets sewn into something!
Eve says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
Kimberly Jane says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I have OCD in regards to cleaning. I use the Method Brand cleaning products and cleaning is my therapy. Clutter drives me crazy! The most random thing that I constantly clean is the mesh drain stopper. I use an old toothbrush and dish detergent to clean it. (o:
Katie says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I’m generally pretty messy, but I HATE having dirty feet. I absolutely cannot go to sleep if they are dirty.
Jacque H says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I clean when I am stressed, mad, or need to be working on something else. The rest of the time I am just a clean freak about brushing my teeth, and removing my mascara before bed.
Charity Baillio says
Keep it clean. i hate for our coffee pot to be dirty…it must always be clean!
Tara Fthenos says
KEEP IT CLEAN!!!
As part of my mild OCD to have my whole house clean, lol… I must say that I am the worst with the bathrooms!! They just have to be clean before I am even able to have my own shower or bath…lol I know, and with a glass shower,it would make much more sense to wait and do it all at the end, but I just can’t do it!! Lol
Thank goodness for my thoughtful husband who understand my ‘quirks’ and helps out whenever he can!! :)
Emily Kidd says
KEEP IT CLEAN!!I obsessively clean our kiddos toys up! It drives me crazy to have them laying out all the time.
sonya says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I obsess over keeping the counters in the kitchen clean and free of clutter.
Katie says
Keep it clean!
I can’t leave anything on the bathroom counters. Even if we’re not expecting company, I can’t handle the thought of someone seeing bottles, vials, makeup, etc. around. I found a cool mirrored art deco box for all of that: in it goes every morning before I hit the road.
malibou says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I am a bit weird about my stovetop and oven. I can’t bear to see little black baked on spots in my oven. My stovetop is about 6 years old and people ask me if I have ever cooked on it. I do, all the time.
kristin says
KEEP IT CLEAN! i’m actually not really all that obsessive of cleaning ever since i had kids. but i definitely barely wear my clothes before tossing them into the basket with the three little boys clothes that definitely need the washing more than mine! (usually)
KEEP IT CLEAN says
My bedroom always has to be clean…the bed always has to be made and clothes off the floor before I leave for work.
Emily says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
My cleaning obsession is clean kitchen/bathroom counters. I cannot tolerate anything on the counters, be it clutter, crumbs, or just a wet spot. I will not leave the room until the counters are clean!
Siiri says
KEEP IT CLEAN! And yes, I clean and clean and clean…I basically don’t get anything else done until the house is spotless.
Robin C. says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I’m a vacuum addict!
Merris Tozer says
KEEP IT CLEAN…My bedroom always has to be clean…the bed always has to be made and clothes off the floor before I leave for work.
Kate says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I cannot sleep knowing that something in my house is unclean, and I have been caught out by various loved ones cleaning windows in the wee hours of the morning. ;)
Lauren F says
KEEP IT CLEAN!!!
i’m not really obsessively clean on a day to day basis but when i get started i sometimes go a little overboard cleaning. i’ll reclean things my husband has cleaned after he leaves so its clean enough for me.
Alli N. says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I obsess of my desk at work being clean and organized, and all counter tops at home clutter free :)
Jess says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I obsess about countertops, sinks, and towels. Because I love to cook and spend a lot of time in my kitchen I need it to be sqeaky clean and, after all, how can you get your countertop germ free with an icky towel?
Katie Gallagher says
KEEP IT CLEAN! Because I am always in my house (I stay home with my two kids) I HAVE to keep it clean. I just can’t stand to be in it while it’s dirty without getting out a sponge or a broom. The room I am most obsessive about is definitely the kitchen since that is where most of the mess is made throughout the day. But I also obsess about keeping the floors clean.
I would love to try these products! Their house looks so beautiful and simple and, well, clean!
Andrea P says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
We have two little kitties so I am obsessed with vacuuming & dusting because of all the shedding fur! I also make sure my mirrors are streak free….I especially hate little splashing from washing my face!
Thanks for hosting these awesome giveaways!
Asta says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I’m particularly obsessive about keepint my kitchen sink clean. I see it as a sort of barometer of how the whole house is. Clean kitchen sink equals clean house.
Sandra says
KEEP IT CLEAN
Amy B says
Keep it clean!
I’m not really obsessive but my hubby washes his hands *constantly*. I don’t really complain though because he’s very clean…that’s a nice quality in a husband :)
Michelle says
Keep It Clean!
I am obsessive about keeping my dish sponge clean, dry and bacteria free. What’s the point of cleaning dishes when the sponge you are cleaning it with is disgusting!
jennifer S. says
keep it clean!
With lots of children in my house, I obsess over their hands and feet. Hands are to be washed after eating and playing outside, and shoes are to be removed from feet upon entering. These two things help keep fingerprints and sticky messes off walls and furniture and also help keep the floors not so dirty.
Megan says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
With my cup of coffee in hand, I clean our kitchen sink just about every morning. It stainless steel, so it doesn’t really show dirt. But I enjoy starting my day with a sink free of germs & water spots. I’ve been trying to make the switch to all natural products in the house but haven’t been completely satisfied with the results. I am excited to try this line and think the bottles would look quite charming if “accidentally” left out on my counter!
Heather Owen says
KEEP IT CLEAN!!!!
I am a nerd about the presentation of a room. All my towels have to hang the same length and way, pillows facing a certain way, etc etc. My husband and I travel a lot, so I am always freaking out and cleaning like crazy before we take off again. I love the feeling of leaving my home spotless and then arriving from a weary journey to a nice clean home.
michele says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I am getting obsessed about natural products and less chemicals. I’ve been drowning my new abundant crop of dandelions with table salt all week. Uh, I digress. I often am obsessive about too much clutter on counters and am wiping down my slate gray counters constantly!
Melissa says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I am a clean freak about our floors! I use my handheld Dyson constantly because it’s great at picking up all of the stuff that ends up all over our wood floors. We recently got a full size Dyson for our area rugs and I’m now obsessed with vacuuming. Do you have any idea what it embedded in your carpet? — you may not want to know, seriously!
Lauren M. says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I always obsess over the kitchen. Once I start cleaning one thing, I end up cleaning EVERYTHING! I start on the dishes, then wipe the counters, then end up sweep-vac-ing the floor, probably mop, clean the stove top, clean the microwave…ugh! It’s never ending!
Angela says
I like to KEEP IT CLEAN & am finding that it is easier to clean if I have less stuff to clean around. So, I’m getting rid of things I don’t love/use and then doing a thorough spring cleaning.
Heather says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I don’t really obsessively clean anything, but I clean and tidy home makes me a calm, happy mommy/wife. It is hard with a messy husband, a baby and two dogs. I think these products would really help ;)
Jenny says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I obsess over vacuuming our living room and sweeping our entry way. Our dog is big and HAIRY and unfortunately sheds all over the place. We’re moving and I’m crossing my fingers our next place has no carpet and all hardwood so we don’t have to constantly lug out the heavy vacuum!
Liz says
Keep it clean!
The floor, vacuum style. I hate washing the floors, but vacuuming…ahhh, nothing like a freshly vacuumed floor!
carriegel says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
Jenna says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I obsessively clean the stove and kitchen counter tops. If they aren’t clean I can’t get anything else done. A gross kitchen is my biggest pet peeve and reminds me of my male friends houses during college.
Marsha Leigh says
Keep It Clean!
I am a counter cleaner offer and magazine straightener.
But underneath it all I like it clean.
Jenny says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I have an obsession with keeping the toilet clean. I scrub them every day. I guess that’s a good thing lol.
turbojoy says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I obsess about cleaning the toilet paper holder. It gives me the heebies when there is dust or grime on that thing. And, I think it may be an overlooked part of cleaning the bathroom in some people’s cleaning routine…..ick.
I also dream about straight floors where the baseboards are totally flush with the floor, with no space for dust bunnies and grime to get into all the cracks.
Liza says
Keep it clean !!!! I am totally OCD about me bed being made and my dining room table being clean. The whole house can be sqeaky clean but if those two aren’t done I just can’t seem to relax
