***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!

Melissa says
KEEP IT CLEAN!!
I’m really only obsessive about a clean sink.
Ben says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I think I’m obsessively organized, not necessarily obsessively clean. I can’t stand piles of stuff everywhere – if it’s gonna be a pile, it better be chronological or alphabetical.
Jen C says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I am OCD about clutter, especially random paperwork. Also am a little crazy with the Wet Jet.
Amanda H. says
KEEP IT CLEAN! I am obsessed with a clean kitchen. I love to cook, so it’s kind of like ‘my space’, and to me if the kitchen is dirty, the rest of the house looks filthy as well. Second place would have to go to my desk… which is never clean. *sigh*
Heidi says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I clean my hairbrushes regularly, I can’t stand when they are full of hair. I think it was those years working in a hair salon that still stick with me. I also get great joy from cleaning the lint from the dryer!
Sarah W says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
Kelly V. says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I am OCD about not having little decorative trinkets around the house. Frames and mirrors are about all you’ll find around my house on tables, and then vases full of fresh flowers when the mood strikes :)

I have to keep the floors swiffered and vacuumed, otherwise there is too much fur from my black cat!

I’m big on the bathroom vanity being clean. I can’t stand it when there are little whiskers and toothpaste splatters all of the place. YUK!

Megan says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I am not at ALL a neat freak, however it makes me nuts that my husband leaves items in every room of the house when he comes home from work. I’ll find his jacket in the living room… his shoes in the computer room… his suit pants in the guest bedroom… and yet he’s in the master bedroom getting changed!
Lesley H says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
Ever since I discovered (via YHL) Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day counter spray I am obsessively cleaning my kitchen counters! Can’t get enough of that great smell:)
kelly danielsen says

KEEP IT CLEAN….I’m obsessed with brushing and flossing my teeth, and washing my hands (including making sure everyone else does), out of places in my home the bathroom MUST be sparkly and clean.
Lindsey W says
Keep it clean!
Im not very cleaning obsessed about anything…
Robyn says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I’m not obsessed with cleaning anything. The dishes can wait until tomorrow, the bed can remain unmade (since I’m getting back in it in 16 hours anyway), the clothes get worn until I spill something on them, and the house gets picked up only when company is coming over. Pretty low maintenance over here :)
Jill says
KEEP IT CLEAN!

Amber Cox says
KEEP IT CLEAN
My stay-at-home mom friends and I have been talking about this lately – how we wish we could follow a professional house cleaner around for a day to get some ideas on how to be more efficient when cleaning. Also, my hubby can’t handle clutter on MY desk! Even when he’s not looking at it, just the fact that he knows its there drives him nuts!
Love your blog! Feel like we’re good friends!

Marie Nelson says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I obsess over my closet. My clothes and shoes are arranged by type (business, casual, dressy, etc.)and then by color. I’m not a morning person so I don’t have time to search for something to wear.
Babs says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I’m obsessed with keeping my kitchen sink clean. It drives me crazy to try and start cooking dinner with a dirty sink!
Sarah says
keep it clean
I’m not actually obsessive about cleaning anything … I wish I were a little more concerned about it, but I just try to keep everything generally neat and clean and don’t spend much time thinking or worrying about it. (Some natural products would definitely trump the toxic Soft Scrub type stuff I use now though … I’ve been intending to upgrade for some time now.)
Laura C. says
KEEP IT CLEAN
Sounds weird, but I’m obsessed with always tending to the cat’s litter box as soon as it gets, er, untidy.

KEEP IT CLEAN
I am obsessed with keeping the bathroom and kitchen counters clean. I clear them and wipe them off a few times a day just to make sure they are clean!
Leslie says
KEEP IT CLEAN
The litter boxes have to stay clean. I will even get up in the middle of the night to clean it out if I hear the cat use it.
Emily says
KEEP IT CLEAN…
Bed made, carpet vaccumed!
Laure Martin says
“KEEP IT CLEAN” – I can’t clutter of any kind. I will actually purge things that I would probably wear/use again, just because I get the urge to “feel clean and clutter free”. My husband goes crazy because I will often “organize” his things, and he has no idea where to find them…I guess it is better then being a slob :)
Katie says
Keep it Clean!
I would not say that I am a neat freak by any means or a clean-a-holic for that matter. I am passionate about all natural-ness! Send all that natural clean this way!
Artsy Fartsy says
Keep it clean! I’m a big fan of using vinegar for all kinds of cleaning – the smell is pretty righteous at first, but it works wonders on getting out carpet stains!
Meg says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I feel like I am cleaning all the time with three young kids, but, I have to keep my kitchen sink and counters cleared off. Somehow, it makes it feel much better.
Kristen Plumer says

Jen B says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I am obsessed about keeping my pantry clean and in order.
Andrea says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I used to be obsessive about cleanliness. Having a dog has changed that, since Steve the Cow Dog sheds enough to knit a blanket – overnight. So, for my sanity’s sake, I’ve decided that a floor that’s less than worthy of dining on is A-OK.
I just started reading your blog and can’t believe I’ve lived this long without it! :)
Brandy G says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
If something is put on, it automatically becomes dirty… which is kind of ironic since I despise laundry… hehe…
