***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!

Max says
KEEP IT CLEAN
Jill says
keep it clean. That would be towels. No way, no how, am I using a towel more than once. It truly grosses me out when people hang a towel after they use it and just keep reusing it. I know it’s not very green of me, but I just can’t do it!
Susan says
Keep it clean! I’m crazy about my stainless steel appliances – I even wipe down the kitchen trashcan to get rid of fingerprints.
Corrie says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I wash my clothes way too often. If I’ve put them on once or my husband puts something on the floor it has to be washed. I just can’t handle dirty clothes!
erin g says
Keep it clean!
I have to keep my kitchen and living room clean, but for some reason I don’t mind if my bedroom is trashed.
Ally says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
Always my hands. My momma kinda makes fun of me now, how when I was little if my hands got dirty “the world stopped” until they were clean again.
Briar says
KEEP IT CLEAN! I am obsessive about keeping my tea kettle clean. I don’t know why, but it really really bothers me whenever the outside of it is dirty.
Shelby says
Keep it clean!! I absolutely can’t stand to have my counters filled with clutter! I spray them down and clear them away every night. these cleaners sound great!

Ioana says
KEEP IT CLEAN
Bathroom sink has to be CLEAN, and no dishes in the sink! It all starts from there.
Kendra Houser says
Keep it Clean
I CANNOT stand dirty kitchen counters. Be it crumbs or clutter, it just drives me nuts! So I try my hardest to keep them clean. However I believe my husband tries his hardest not to…Or at least it seems that way!
Amanda W. says
KEEP IT CLEAN! I’ll admit– I’m obsessive about personal hygeine! I take two baths or one bath and one shower every day. No kidding. I do also enjoy the relaxation of a bath, so that helps :-)
Krissy says
Keep it clean!
For me, it’s brushing my teeth. :-)
Tiffanie says

Krissy says
KEEP IT CLEAN. I wash my hands atleat 20 times a day.
Jules says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I have to make the beds everyday. There is something about a made bed that makes the room 90% cleaner in appearance. Okay, maybe that’s because it’s the largest item in the room, but still. It looks nice.
MissCaron says
KEEP IT CLEAN! :-)
Morgan says
Keep it clean!!
I’m not the cleanest of sorts when it comes to ‘little piles’ (mail, office papers and folders) but underneath those piles I love to have clean tile, bookcases, you name it. My hubby is the opposite! Hates piles and little clutter but could go weeks without cleaning the shower. Good thing we balance each other out ;).
Lisa says
“Keep it clean!”
I am a total freak about clutter. I cannot stand piles of mail, dirty glasses on the coffee table, socks next to the bed or anything like that. I am obsessively “tidying up” around our apartment. If nothing else, it keeps the place looking cleaner than it actually is!
Elise says
KEEP IT CLEAN! I obsessively clean everything (think Monica from Friends), so this is a dream giveaway!!
Emily says
Keep it clean!
I’m a freak about keeping my baby’s spoons and bowls clean, which is probably a good thing. So far I’m hand washing everything instead of using the dishwasher.
Rebecca K says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
Clothes, definitely!
Jenn says
Keep it clean!
I have to keep the bathrooms clean. Dirty bathrooms gross me out!
Melanie Carpenter says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
What won’t I use this stuff on!
Selena says
KEEP IT CLEAN! My kitchen sink can never be too clean :)
Sally says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I used to do extended wilderness trips. I brushed my teeth twice a day even when I didn’t shower for weeks.
Krista says
KEEP IT CLEAN!!!
I just enjoy when my cleaning is finished and everything feels nice and clean and organized :)

Lisa O. says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I could really use these! I really like to clean up the whole kitchen before I go to bed (all the dishes and wipe down the counters) so it’s all nice and welcoming in the morning.
my life is brilliant says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I’m pretty obsessive about keeping my hands clean. I wash them about 5,000 times while I cook. But hey, my guests never have to worry about my germs being in their food!
Deirdre says
Keep it clean! I can’t stand a messy sink, it’s a must clean in my house!
Whitney says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I grew up with a mother who mopped the kitchen floor everyday and vacuumed her car obsessively- let’s just say it rubbed off!
Annie T. says
KEEP IT CLEAN – I adore pretty looking cleaning bottles and smells, so this looks great.
Sarah W. says
KEEP IT CLEAN! I’m not an obsessive cleaner (I wish I were better at it), but I am an obsessive cleaning PRODUCTS buyer! Each new product promises to make me a better cleaner, which in turn, makes me feel as if I will be a better person in general. The more natural the product the better, and it’s all about how it smells. :-)
Wendy B says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I am obsessive about keeping our swimming pool completely leaf-less… I scoop it at least 3 times a day. My husband thinks I’m crazy… but the leaves drive ME crazy! :)
Jessica says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I have to have a spotless kitchen sink. Kitchens can get so gross…
Veronica says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
In the summer I am obsessive about having clean feet. My husband laughs when I come home from work and wash my feet in the tub. I have to have fresh toesies when I slip into my flip flops!
Jessica says
KEEP IT CLEAN! I wash my hands ALL the time and make sure my husband does, too. My house…not so much. Maybe I need to be inspired?
Kelsi says
Keep it clean & in it’s place (had to add on…. couldn’t resist!)
I’m a BIG hand washer, to the point that I get eczema. Not so good!!! I am also big on having the living room cleaned. If the toyroom has been trashed by my 3 year old tornado, the clean laundry is piled on the bed waiting to be put back… at least I have ONE area of sanity!!
Lauren Wilgenbusch says
Keep It Clean!
Virginia says

I do laundry ALL THE TIME. I have trouble seeing dust on a lot of things (I have glaucoma) but I am obsessed with having clean-smelling clothes, sheets, towels, etc.
steph says
KEEP IT CLEAN…
the kitchen countertops get wiped down every night – nothing better than cleanliness in the morning!
