***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!

A clean car makes me happy.
Liz says
Keep it clean!
I try to keep the whole house clean, but I definitely go for the kitchen first. If the kitchen’s clean, it makes the whole house look that much cleaner!
Micki says
KEEP IT CLEAN and I need this. Besides I never win anything.
Laurie says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I hate having clutter on my counters
Tasha says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
Oddly enough, my passion is for keeping my cleaning supplies clean and tidy. I recently put a over-the-door hanging shoe organizer in the hall closet for each bottle of cleaning products and scrubbies. Brillaint! Shelf space is freed and I can easily identify what I need.
stacy says
KEEP IT CLEAN!!!!!!
I would obsess more if I had the time, but the kitchen sink is a weird obsession for me, I feel refreshed after scrubbing that stainless steel down.
Alisa S says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I loooooove a clean kitchen. Just LOVE it!
Becky says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
Clean hands! I am a Reading Specialist in an elementary school, so you can imagine how often a child takes hold of my hand, the amount of pencils that we pass around, as well the sneezes and hugs that come my way. Needless to say, I wash my hands constantly!

KEEP IT CLEAN!
OBSESSIONS:
The kitchen counter, the kitchen floors, the bathrooms, mirrors and windows!
Lindsey says
KEEP IT CLEAN! I’m psychotic about the remotes being in the little shelf UNDER the coffee table. The rest of the house can be a complete disaster, but as long as the remotes are in their place, life is good.
Kristin Burns says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
Hate, HATE dog hair on the couch. With a black dog and a tan couch, it’s a challenge, but the upholstery hose on the vacuum cleaner helps keep me sane.
Anna says
Keep it Clean!
My obsession is dusting…love it!
Rachel says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I can’t put my feet up until the living room is straightened. Impossible to relax if I see messes out of the corner of my eye! Pillows are constantly being arranged!
Christiana says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
Obsessions: countertops, my hands, and silverware.
carrie says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I am obsessive about clean hands!!!
Jennifer says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I am so anti-clutter and everything in my house has to have a “home.” I also obsess with keeping the kitchen clean. No dirty dishes and a clean counter instantly make the whole house feel cleaner.
Renata says
KEEP IT CLEAN! I obsessively wash my hands and if nothing else is clean in the house I have to make sure the bathroom is clean and smells nice – then I am ok with the rest of the mess (at least temporarily!)
LindsayB says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I obsess over clean baby blankets. They get washed way more than what is needed.
Jessica says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I pretty much obsess about every surface, but especially the kitchen and bathroom counters! Sometimes I realize I need to let them go…
Nikki F says
Keep it clean!
I can’t stand clutter on countertops and desktops. A clear space feels so much more relaxing and clean.
Carla says
KEEP IT CLEAN…
The kitchen. Especially counter tops, stove tops, and sink. It is like having a “fresh canvas” in the home when I am ready to create a tasty meal.
Kim says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I love to clean floors…vacuum, mopping, washing by hand, you name it. I love walking around barefoot on hardwood floors. I’ve been caught cleaning the floors at my sister’s house while on vacation (she hates cleaning floors – it used to work better when we split the chores growing up!)
Additional obsessions include: de-cluttering/putting things away, dishes, laundry, clean bathtub/bathroom, anything that can be cleaned with baking soda or vinegar, glass/mirrors, dusting…I could go on, but I’ll stop!
Thanks for offering a great, eco-friendly cleaning prize!
Dorothy says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I am obsessed with keeping my floor clean. I hate how you can feel anything, grit, sand, dust, hair, walking barefoot on hardwood, so I am constantly sweeping, swiffering, and mopping. Loorrrrrddd above.
Bianca says
KEEP IT CLEAN and organized, please! The space can very well be clean, but it always takes added effort to keep it organized too.
I am totally obsessed with people washing their hands, especially when handling my babies. Flu season be gone!
Jennifer @ The Thrifty Cardinal says
Keep it clean…
This is going to sound strange, but I obsessively clean MYSELF! I LOVE the fresh-from-the-shower feeling and the smell of shampoo. Yum!
Allison says
KEEP IT CLEAN! I’m ridiculous about my floors…although I sometimes lag behind! But I can’t stand dirty floors…and dirty socks! Hate it!
Kinsey says
KEEP IT CLEAN
toys, toys, toys. I can only handle random balls and blocks disgarded on the floor for so long before we have a pick-up race where I time my baby (and husband) to see how fast they can clean up the toys.
jody says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
our tiled counter top is cute, but the grout gets dirty daily and it drives me crazy!
Elizabeth says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
Dirty mirrors drive me bonkers. A clean kitchen definitely makes me happy.
Christin says
KEEP IT CLEAN!!
I’m border line obsessive about washing my hands. I get sick quite often, so more and more I’m cleaning my hands more and more. Also – clutered counter tops drive me batty!! In our current small space we just don’t have enough room to have a space for everything so things get cluttered quickly. My goal for our new place, eventually, is to continue to purge and have a place for everything!
Emily says
The only thing I get finicky about is my office desk. Every other part of the house can be in chaos, but I can’t work if my desk isn’t clean.
Rachel says
Keep it clean! I’m definitely an obsessive tooth-brusher. I floss constantly, too. Clean teeth are a must!
Olga says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I’m big on cleaning dishes (or stashing them in the dishwasher, lol) each night. There’s just something about getting up and seeing dirty dishes that need to be taken care of that depresses me.
Also, I don’t like clutter in our bedroom or junk in the car. It just looks so much “calmer” that way and those are the two places I need it most. :)
Ny says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I love lemon and grapefruit scented spaces, especially kitchens.
Ashley T says
Keep it Clean!!
Our LR floors are dark wood laminate and I have to clean them all the time! Any dog hair or dust drives me crazy.
Lindsay W says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I’m obsessive with the laundry. I love the smell of clean towels and clothes and I hate when they aren’t folded right (the way I fold them). It makes me smile when everything is all neat and tidy in my drawers and closets. My husband knows to stay away; the laundry is my territory!
jessica hilliker says
KEEP IT CLEAN~
I LOVE CLEAN. EVERYTHING CLEAN…I mean, I clean my washer & dryer! Only, now I have two boys two and under, so things tend to get a little, er, “messy” for a good while until I go cleaning crazy. My husband recently said, “Baby, you are the best cleaner in the world…when you do it…I mean, you make things SPARKLE!” :)
Ann says
KEEP IT CLEAN.
Dirty dishes in the sink drives me crazy. Also, my husband has his shoes laying all over the living area. I counted 5 at one time. Drives me nuts.
mary says
Keep It Clean!
I cannot leave the house without making my bed.
Katie says
Keep it clean!!!!
I use my Mrs. Meyer’s products to clean our countertops kind of obsessively.
Carrie Hogan says
Keep it Clean. I am not a compulsive hand washer, but my husband is! It makes me laugh! We joke about it!
Missy says
Keep it clean!
Kimberly says
“KEEP IT CLEAN”
I am obsessive about washing my hands. Its not so much a germ thing (although I like getting rid of those) as it is a residue thing. Its a bit ridiculous as I’ll catch myself washing my hands after adding each egg to a cake batter or rinsing while chopping veggies…so weird!
Maggie says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I’m constantly wiping down our granite counter tops…my husband made a spray bottle specifically for this task with a few drops of dish soap and water.
Kira says
Keep it Clean! I’m obsessed with cleaning up the dog hair that is constantly floating around the house. I mean really…how does it end up on the countertops?!?! Gross!
marilu says
“KEEP IT CLEAN!”
You can never wash your hands too much…
Christina says
Keep it Clean!
I woldn’t go so far to say OCD, but I definitely need to have a clean home – no clutter, no spills. After years of bad roommates who refused to clean through college and my early 20s, the bathroom is my big MUST. BE. SPOTLESS!! It gets a once over every morning before I leave for work and an overhaul every weekend just to make sure everything is in its place and germ free.
Sara says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I’m constantly washing my hands.
Julie says

Constantly cleaning up pet hair… from everything! :)
Pam Heller says
KEEP IT CLEAN
Just about the only thing that I regularly dust is my coffee table.
