***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! Clutter free means a calm world for me!
Karen @ old beginnings says
“KEEP IT CLEAN” … the kitchen – if it’s not cleaned up, the entire house feels like a mess because the kitchen is open to our main living area.
Thanks for the chance – this is great!

I am obsessive about my car. My room could be a mess, but I hate to have trash or anything in my car that isn’t supposed to be there.
Laura in LA says
Keep it Clean! I would love to try these products! I am an obessive handwasher myself.
Laura J says
KEEP IT CLEAN!!!
I HATE all clutter but in the kitchen especially. I also have this thing that I have to wash my hands, even if they just “feel” dirty.
hunter says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I’m obsessive about my bookcases. At least once a week they are careful dusted and the books lined up with a ruler to make sure the spines are straight. And we’ve got about a dozen big bookcases. For some reason untidy bookcases just make the whole room feel disheveled, and I can’t stand them.
Stephanie Walker says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I’m hate dirty dishes in the sink. We don’t have a dishwasher so I feel like I’m always washing dishes.
Christine says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I’m obsessed with keeping the kitchen clean and uncluttered. If there’s stuff in the sink before I start cooking, I have to take care of that first. Even if the rest of the house is in kaos, I feel better when at least the kitchen is clean.
Beth says
Keep It Clean!
I HAVE to spray the garbage cans with disinfectant after every bag change! I saw on Oprah once how dirty garbage cans are and ever since then, I never miss a spray of disinfectant before a new bag!
Erica S says
KEEP IT CLEAN
The piles of mail on the kitchen counter irritate me, but what really drives me nuts is that my husband leaves beer bottle tops everywhere! The bathroom, the front porch, his pockets….you name it, there’s a top left there!! :)
Olivia says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I hate dirty bathrooms! I am constantly fretting over our master bathroom, I clean it and it will be dirty again in 2 days! There’s just two of us using it, and I don’t understand how other households always have a clean bathroom! Or they always clean it before I see it.
Lindsey says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
My kitchen always has to be clean and ready for the next day before I go to bed at night!
Kate J. says
Keep it Clean!
Hilary says
KEEP IT CLEAN! I’m obsessive about cleaning off my desk each evening before I head home. As an attorney, the excessive amount of paperwork can easily get overwhelming and the only way to keep it under control is a nightly cleaning!
s leigh says
keep it clean!
everything, im a neat freak.
Chelsea says
KEEP IT CLEAN! I’m a Virgo- we are a little OCD by nature! I have to have my kitchen counters clean, as well as the sink and faucet or I can’t function. I’ve also been known to scrub my floor moldings with a toothbrush…
Jeff says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
Floors. I love to walk around the house barefoot but hate it when junk sticks to my feet!
Taylor says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I can not stand for my kitchen counter to be cluttered or dirty!
caroline says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
i OBSESSIVELY wipe down the fixtures, mirror and counter top in my bathroom… those that share the room with me find the habit rather obnoxious.
Jill L-G says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
Although I’m a borderline slob around the house (at least I can admit it!), I am obsessive about washing my face…
Sarah says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I have a tiny apt so clutter drives me crazy. And since I’m in a big building in a city, keeping the kitchen clean so I don’t attract any unwanted critters is very important!
Shantuck says
KEEP IT CLEAN… I obsessively clean my kitchen counters. Even when the rest of my house is in shambles, I hardly notice it if my kitchen is clean. I saw these products in Real Simple. I’m hoping luxe cleaning products will make cleaning more fun! But if not, I will settle for a beautiful smelling house!
Krithiga says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
Kitchen sink has to be cleaned out every night! make it so worth to step into in the morning.
Kristin says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I hate having used clothes in my closet, even if they were worn only once. Instead, I bought a valet stand ( in fact a much cheaper stand for towels, but it works perfectly) for my only-once-or-twice-worn clothes to have a place to put them.
Dee says
“KEEP IT CLEAN”
I’m obsessed when it comes to kitchen germs. I hate paper towels and sponges. I can only use a hand towel or wash rag for one day then I have to get out a clean one. (This drives my husband crazy) I also have to wash pots, pans and mixing bowls before I can use them. It’s just weird now that I think about it. Items that haven’t been used or washed within a few hours I have to wash again before I can use it. I wash my hands alot too.
Lacey says
KEEP IT CLEAN! I am crazy about washing my hands. I wash them all the time… even when they don’t feel dirty. The kicker I wash them two or three times in a row each time I do wash them! Crazy? Oh and I hate hate hate to do laundry. I love to clean, everything… except for the laundry! Thank goodness my love is a laundry doing kinda guy or I would be in some big trouble! I will wear anything and everything out of my closet until I am forced to do it. Sad? I know !!

I can’t stand the gravitational clutter pull! When a pile of stuff starts somewhere in the house and continues to magically grow.
Rachel says
KEEP IT CLEAN
Unfortunately I don’t obsess about cleaning anything :(
Cathy says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I am always cleaning our clear glass shower doors, they are a pain to keep spot free. I use Rain-X (originally for the car’s windshield) and it has worked wonders, but it’s still an obession.
Jacquelin Seybert says
KEEP IT CLEAN! I’m a clean freak and actually LOVE to clean. I drive my husband nuts! :)
Abby says
KEEP IT CLEAN!! I can’t help myself but to clean out counter tops all. the. time.
Oh, and the floors-at least once a day, with countless wipe ups do to a food-flinging toddler!
Joy Kurtz says
“KEEP IT CLEAN”. In our house, we devote more effort to keeping the kitchen clean than any other room in the house. We spend so much time there and love cooking, so between that and our dogs, we’ve always got lots to clean in there. The biggest challenge is the breakfast bar- it’s a magnet for clutter and junk mail!
Kat says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I am obsessive about keeping both my dogs’ butts clean :) I swear, everytime they go potty, there is always a little bit left! We buy baby wipes just for they’re bums, and even the bf has started wiping their butts too!
Susie says
Keep It Clean!
I admit that I love freshly laundered clothes a little too much.
sara says
KEEP IT CLEAN! I compulsively clean that area right when you walk in the house that collects the daily clutter – mail, clothes, keys, you name it!
Sarah Courier says

And… I can’t stand a cluttered stove… I know people put stuff on there like seasonings and figurines…. but… NO!

I can’t think straight with clutter on my desk, so I am always straightening them up, both my desk at work and my desk at home.

Vanessa L says

I’m actually pretty messy most of the time, dirty dishes don’t bother me at all. But I am very organized- I won’t do dishes, but I’ll organize them in the cabinets so they’re in the exact order I want.
Lisa says
“Keep It Clean!!!”
I like to keep my hands and face clean :)
Shar says
Keep it clean! I have to have a clean kitchen. I clean as I go when I cook, and like to have everything in the kitchen clean & put away before night. Now if I could just get everyone else in the house on the same program…

I cannot stop cleaning the top of my glass-top stove. It will never be clean enough!
