***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!

Obsessive over clutter and things not put away! Organization is a lifestyle!!
Nicole says
Keep it Clean!!!
This is so terribly embarrassing, but I’m having a hard time thinking of ANYTHING I keep obsessively clean! It is pretty important to me that our house smells good, so we do have a huge collection of candles, our windows are open as much as possible, and I bake a lot of bread (not just for the smell – we also eat the bread).
I do tend to put baking ingredients away as soon as a use them. After all, it’s not more work to set them back in the cupboard than it is to set them down on the counter. Right?? That’s what I’ve been telling my husband, anyway!
Teacher Amber says
I can’t deny it. I’m an obsessive hand washer! I grew up working at my parent’s pizza place, and learned all-to-well the value of hand washing.

Keep it Clean!
I absolutely MUST have clean kitchen counter tops. The bedroom can be a disaster, but there’s nothing I hate more that even the slightest smudge or tiniest crumb on the counters.
Katy says
KEEP IT CLEAN!!!!
I’m obsessive about my duvet and down comforter. I’m forever adjusting it so it looks tidy on our bed and fluffing it so the down doesn’t slide down in the pockets of the comforter. OCD much? Yes.
Vica says
Keep it Clean
I clean towels..I like to always have all my towels clean.
Meg says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I go crazy over cleaning up kids toys….my husband and I were in the church nursery this past Sunday and I made all the kids (15) clean up one toy before moving onto the next. Basically this meant I was the crazy women cleaning instead of playing!
Randa says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
Clutter in the living room drives me nuts… it’s the first room we step into in our home, so I like it to be welcoming and easy on the eyes.
Briana Easter says
KEEP IT CLEAN
Dust, I hate you.
Lauren says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I hate cat litter – it gets everywhere!
Linda says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
Clutter on the countertops definitely equals clutter in my brain! The rest of the house can be a disaster, but I do need those surfaces clear…
Natalie G says
Keep it Clean!
I love the feeling of accomplishment every time I clean off the coffee table. Whether I’m freeing it of clutter or wiping away the dog hair that inevitably finds its way there, it feel so nice to have a pristine clean coffee table.
maura says
Keep It clean. I really like a clean kitchen before bed. There is nothing worse then waking up to a mess!
Marelis says
KEEP IT CLEAN!!
Well I obsess about a lot in the house, but don’t necessarily get to keep it all clean with my schedule!! LOL…seriously considering highering someone to help. But I’d say my biggest peeve would be the kitchen/family room areas. I hate seeing dirty dishes and cluttered counter tops. Then in the family room I love keeping it toy free and of course throw pillows where they are supposed to be!
Keren says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
Coffee tables and end tables should be removed of all mugs, papers, and juice box straw wrappers at the end of each night!
Nicole B says
KEEP IT CLEAN!!
I HATE dishes in the sink! Put them in teh dishwasher boys and don’t make the women do it for you :)
Megan B says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I am not as much a CLEAN freak as an ORGANIZING freak. Closet, drawers, kitchen cabinets. So much easier when everything has a place
Sarah Shumway says
Keep it clean!
I obsessively clean my bathroom sink. After each time I brush my teeth, I give the basin a good scrub… which is slightly ironic because the counter surrounding the sink is always a cluttered, makeup-covered mess. But at least my sink is clean! Bronzer I can handle, but toothpaste residue grosses me right out.
kelly d says
“KEEP IT CLEAN”
I really don’t like clutter of any kind and love the way my house looks after it’s been cleaned top to bottom. Unfortunately, keeping it that way on a daily basis isn’t realistic. :)
Blair R says
KEEP IT CLEAN…
…and clutter drives me insane!!
mwarner says
KEEP IT CLEAN!!!!
I hate having a sink full of dirty dishes; we moved into a house that doesn’t have a dishwasher, so they accumulate pretty quickly. I try to stay ahead of the game and wash them as soon as we’re done using them, but that doesn’t always work :)
claire says
keep it clean!
is it bad there is nothing i’m obsessively clean about? although, i hate handwashing dishes – i feel like they are still germy until i dishwash them..
CasaCullen says
KEEP IT CLEAN
not obsessive over anything…but can’t WAIT to tear up our dingy cream carpet because OH MY GOSH, is that ever a headache to keep clean :( that’ll be a good day to have concrete, wood or tile floors in place of the ANNOYINGLY hard to keep clean carpet! cheers
Carissa says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I’m very OCD about cleaning my entire house. My brother in law once said he’d eat off the floor because he knew it would have just been cleaned.
Emily says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
Tammy says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I’m not obsessive about cleaning, which is why I need these products – so I can become obsessed!
stylefyles says
Keep it clean!
I’m obsessive about keeping most things clean, but I think my number one obsession is laundry.
For some reason, I get anxious when the laundry piles up. When everything’s washed, folded, and put away/hung in it’s proper (color coded) place, I feel so much more at peace.
Christina says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I am always cleaning my windows. It is so dusty outside where I live! I cant stand looking through spots of dust.
Brittney S says
KEEP IT CLEAN!!!
Dishes, he makes a mess with them “creating genius is messy” I’m told. So dishes I do constantly!
Tiffany O says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
My family room MUST be clean before I go to bed and after the kids leave for school. I cannot stand stuff laying around in there, although the others rooms don’t get the same attention. ha ha
Gina says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I obsess on using hand sanitizer. We had premie twins in the NICU – the nurses taught us well!
Colleen Wheeler says
KEEP IT CLEAN! As you two will soon find out, once you have a baby nothing ever seems clean enough! Having a one year old around we feel that everything could be cleaned daily, so some fabulous cleaning products sure would come in handy!!
jen bishop says
Keep it clean!
I love everything put away and clean! With little ones it is a never ending process! I would be so happy to win this one!

Virginia Sole-Smith says
Keep it clean!
I’m really entering this giveaway on behalf of my husband, who is the cleaner in the family. But I am obsessive about clutter and do a lot of picking-up-as-I-go. As long as order is restored, I’m not too picky about actual dirt — but he is, and these products look so fabulous, I might even be motivated to pitch in!
Laura @ youngDCliving says
KEEP IT CLEAN!!
I generally cannot deal with clutter in pretty much any area, but mostly my desk! I always put things away and have neat to-do lists and piles to keep me on top of stuff. It really helps me focus and stay organized with life
brooke cox says
keep it clean – i feel like if the living room is clean, then your house is clean.
Kristy says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I can’t seem to keep my house dust-free… with two big fluff-ball dogs, it doesn’t surprise me :) I do my best (seeing as though we have black-finish wood furniture through most of the house), but I would definitely not pass the white glove test!
Katie says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
Can my answer be nothing? I keep things tidy but there isn’t one area/thing that I obsess over. That said, it’s my birthday. It would be great if that random selector gave me the win. :-)
Jennifer says
i have to have a clean toilet.
Jennifer says
Oh, and KEEP IT CLEAN>>>>
Carolyne O. says
KEEP IT CLEAN! Dog hair, enough already!
Elle B says

My dirty cleaning secret: I’m completely obsessive about my refrigerator. It MUST be clean or I will be bonkers.
Erin H says
KEEP IT CLEAN…
Hands, teeth, and kitchen surfaces! Oh, and bathroom surfaces too…
Kelly K. says
Keep it clean!
I hate piles in the living room or any other public spot in our house. But, in our bedroom, my clothes are piled all over the place. Oops!
Chelsea says
Keep it clean!
The kitchen countertops must be clean. Always. I don’t care what the rest of the house looks like, but the kitchen countertops will always shine! :)
Jenn says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
No dishes in the sink!
Traci says
KEEP IT CLEAN…
I can’t stand finding laundry thrown about the house. The kids strip their socks while watching TV. My husband leaves his stripped clothes on the bathroom floor. Daughter got warm in the hallway? There’s a sweater draped along the banister! Aaugh!
Karen J says
KEEP IT CLEAN … Our leather barstools are wiped down 2 or 3 times a day. With two sets of tiny hands in the house they seem to be forever in need of cleaning!
Lauren says
Keep it clean!
I obsessivley vacuum our living room rugs… in my defense, I have a 7 month old who is starting to crawl as well as a 7 year old black lab, so I try to keep the black hairs on my boy to a minimum…
