***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…
We have a small apartment and end up using the coffee table for several purposes…dinner table, computer desk, etc…so every morning before work, I have to be sure it’s cleared off, the tv remote is places just so, and our coasters are in a straight line along the edge.

You guessed it, clutter on my counter top drives me crazy! It is an everyday battle to keep my counter top clutter free! I buy baskets and bowls to try and contain the mess, but everyday there is clutter to be cleaned up! I just don’t understand it!

KEEP IT CLEAN!
EVERYTHING in my house has to be spotless. I hate clutter, I hate messes, I hate disorganization. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t clean and organize. I must be addicted! :) Even if I don’t win I will be trying these products SOON!

I can’t stand a dirty bathroom sink or the water spots on the faucet.
coley says
KEEP IT CLEAN! I am definitely less compulsive than my husband when it comes to all things clean! I would say I’m mostly neurotic about dishes loading up in the sink!
Candace says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I’m uber obsessed with keeping my 2-year-olds nose clean. I refuse to let him be one of those snotty kids, so I’ve always got a kleenex and a finger up that poor child’s nose trying to keep him presentable, haha.

Megan says
We have a white ceramic sink and it drives me CRAZY when it gets dirty, which it does – easily and often. Coffee rings, crumbs – everything shows up on it, but when it’s clean and sparkling, it just makes the whole kitchen sing!

KEEP IT CLEAN!
I’m obsessive about hand washing. As a med student, I don’t want to be spreading germs among patients, or worse, bringing them home with me! With all that hand washing, I’ve come to love fresh scented soaps and Australian White Grapefruit sounds amazing!
candace says
KEEP IT CLEAN! :)
I am NOT a fan of mucky icky scary microwaves! I don’t understand what’s so hard about wiping up spills when they happen and BEFORE they get crusted on like hot glue. YUCK.

Sarah says
Keep it clean!
We need some cleaning products- we are moving into a new house and have a 6 month old baby! It’s scary to wonder what’s in the normal cleaning products we all grew up around.
I don’t obsessively clean anything, but I do “obsessively” ignore the dusting! I need to work on that.

I am speaking of my kitchen counters, which must be clutter free and wiped down several times a day. I cant think when the counters are cluttered or spotty. Thankfully, its my only Joan Crawford-ism!

amyks says
Keep it Clean! with 3 young children, it is hard to keep the clutter at bay, but I certainly do try. And I can’t stand it when they leave toothpaste in the sink, but I guess I should be happy that they are brushing their teeth :)

I am always wiping down the counters and inside my sink. Even if everything else is still a mess it helps make the kitchen at least look clean!
Debbie says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I am in fact one of those obsessive hand washers (and hand sanitizer users if we’re out). It’s sad really…and my poor hands look terrible because of it.
It’s time to move that obsession off of my hands and onto the rest of the house…we have a baby due soon too! It must be clean!
Jill D. says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I don’t necessarily like to clean, but with two young kiddos it is a must. I hate clutter so I try to pick up as often as I can, which always seems to make a house feel cleaner!
