***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!

I like to sweep! It’s great to see all the stuff you sweep up in the morning and then at night. I always wonder how my floors can accumulate so much just within a day!!

I am obsessive about my kitchen counters. If they are dirty I feel like the entire kitchen looks a mess.
Sarah says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I have a black rug in our office (the dumbest thing I have ever bought) and it shows everything. So, dirty rugs drive me nuts!
Emily says
Keep it clean!
I am constantly washing my hands, especially when I’m out shopping. They start to feel grimy after constantly touching things that I know might have been touched by hundreds of people before me!
Lindsey says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I obsess over putting dishes in the dishwasher. I start to get really freaked out when there are dishes in the sink. I just don’t understand why my husband puts a dish in the sink, when you can just put it right in the dishwasher! :)

“KEEP IT CLEAN”
I love having the kitchen sink (deep single basin stainless steel) clean and with no water spots. It doesn’t happen as often as I’d like due to what seems like a constant stream of dishes and glasses but I love love seeing that sink shine!
April B says

erin says
Keep it clean!!
I’m constantly cleaning the kitchen counter so that there’s nothing on it (even if that means moving things elsewhere). For some reason, it makes me so happy to come in and have a clean counter.
Monique says

This is an amazing giveaway!!
Okay so.. callllll me weird.. but I vaccum our garage! I’m obsessed with keeping our cars home beautiful too!
Mindi says
I must wash my hands while I clean. It is not QUITE obsessive, but close enough. I hate the feeling of dust/dirt on my hands, so it is clean, clean, wash hands, clean, wash hands–and so on! Makes for a clean house AND a clean me!

My windows! I can’t stand it when there’s a sunny day and all I can see is the outdoor mildew rain stains on my windows and can’t see clearly through them! Argh! Yes, I use vinegar and water to clean them!
Samantha says

Love to have clean kitchen counters!
Jason says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I have a sickness for cleaning. I clean, vacuum, mop, and dust everynight before I go to bed. I actually like it and it is good exercise. I clean the house and my wife does the laundry and cooks. We make a great team.
Leigh F. says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
My kitchen and bathrooms must be crazy clean at all times. If not, it drives me crazy. I’m also obcessive about keeping the main living areas of our house clean. Our master bedroom is always clean because I can’t sleep when there’s clutter everywhere.
alexis says

I can’t say I’m obsessively clean about any one thing, but I can definitely appreciate a clean, shiny kitchen with organized countertops and a bright, white sink!

I’m a clutter hater. Anything on the counter or the coffee table ends up in recylcing at my house!
tara says

i always wash my hands and brush my teeth. i hate it when someone “does the dishes” but leaves pots and pans and doesn’t wipe out the sink!
Crystal says
KEEP IT CLEAN!!
I hate my counter top and kitchen table being dirty!! That is definitely part of “doing the dishes” and it drives me nuts when it’s not clean!
Kim H. says
KEEP IT CLEAN!!….
I am a germaphobe at heart… ugh my secret is out! I hate dirty countertops! As in, I will not sit my purse down on a countertop that has not been cleaned by me (especially in public bathrooms while I am washing my hands)! Don’t do it ladies…. there are germs there! ha!
shannon says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
Really I like to keep everything in my house clean…but you know, sometimes that doesn’t happen. The kitchen is the first thing I see when I come home, so I’ve been trying lately to keep it very clean and tidy. If I come home to a messy kitchen it sours my mood.
Jean says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
Uh, I don’t obsessively clean anything. I leave that to my husband, much to his annoyance.
Caysie says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I hate touching public things- door handles, shopping carts, elevator buttons etc. So we are big on hand sanitizer
Kerri says
Keep it clean!!
These products are so pretty! So I’m obsessive about clean and clutter-free countertops in the kitchen. I could have a sink full of dishes but as long as the counters are clean, I’m happy.
emilyr says
“KEEP IT CLEAN”
I wish I could be obsessive about anything, but while we’re renovating…
I am compulsive about germs (hand washing, de-germinating, etc.) at my office and other public areas… at home I’m not too too worried :)
Kristin says
Keep It Clean! I love having my stainless steel appliances sparkle!
Mary says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
The kitchen and bathrooms are what I am most particular about cleaning. There is nothing more satisfying than wiping down the kitchen counter at the end of the day! Especially when the cleaner is eco and smells nice :)
Brooke says
Keep it Clean!
I am way more cluttered than my husband which makes him a little crazy. However, I am weird about the cleanliness of floors. I really get anxious when there is not enough vacuuming done or when the kitchen needs to be swept. A pile or two of papers? Not a bother. Dirty floors- gross!
Jill says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I am a “neat freak” about my kitchen sink! I cannot stand to have dishes, food, etc in the sink! Almost before my husband is finished eating supper, I have that plate out from under him, rinsed (or perfectly washed), and placed in the dishwasher. I cannot stand anything in the sink!
Design Esquire says

I am very obsessive about clutter. In my home, everything has a place and I am constantly picking up little messes and transporting items to their actual home.

I MUST HAVE A CLEAN SINK AT ALL TIMES!
Christy says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
Sheets and bedding.
My main obsession: I dont know why or what started this, but I cannot sleep in the same sheets and bedding for more than a week or two without cleaning them. It gives me the heebee jeebees.
*Michelle says

kitchen counter must be clean!
Steph says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I hate clutter in general, but I’m most particular about my kitchen. I can’t have ANYTHING on the counters. Crumbs, water stains, drippings from food, dishes, appliances – nothing! I am also a perpetual hand washer.
The Monogrammed Mrs. says
“KEEP IT CLEAN”… I won’t tell my husband about this answer because he would probably laugh thinking I don’t obsess about anything cleaning related but I really do…We have an old nice, deep, white sink (house was built in 1958) and I clean it often because I love how white it can be. It’s probably my favorite thing about our house…
Courtney H. says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I am really OCD about hand washing and yes, I consider clothes dirty even if they have been barely worn!
Shan says

With four kids, it’s not always as clean as I would like!
