***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!
I’m a freak about piles. Piles of laundry, mail, anything. I like things pretty austere and organized, but I have four kids, so we have a LOT of bins so I don’t have to look at piles.
Melissa says

I’ll admit I am a vacuum FREAK!! I’ve been caught doing it at least 3times a day! hehe..this obsession had me realize that i desperately need hardwood floors!!
Elizabeth says

Things of mine can be cluttered, but they HAVE to be clean. I’m always cleaning, scrubbing and dusting!
Kelly says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I have always loved hand-washing dishes. I know it sounds crazy, but there’s actually a good reason – I have a circulatory disorder, so diving into the warm water gets the blood flowing. My favorite? Washing the dishes with a glass of wine :)
Kari says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
the bathroom has to be clean!
Rebecca says

I have a constant laundry issue, I like to have all of my clothing options available at all times, so the laundry must be kept in check!
Suzy says
KEEP IT CLEAN! It’s funny how obsessive I can be in some things (dental health! and organizing EVERYTHING), and yet clothing routinely falls to the floor, and takes forever to get washed… Oh well, here’s to inconsistency :)
Amy says
Keep it clean! I’m obsessive about cleaning the stove top.
Laura says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
Nancy says
Keep it clean!
My husband is a constant hand washer for sure! And yup, clutter anywhere drives me nuts. I can’t start a project i.e a painting, if my house is messy or there are dirty dishes in the sink.
Kelly says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
A clean stove top is a must before I can cook anything!
carrie says
Clean…I’m the queen of clean! Ask any friend or family member! When i was young (around 7 or 8) my best friend’s mom once asked me…do you wash your shoes???? They’re so …clean..all the time. I guess I was born that way :) So this freebie has me very excited :)
Karyn says

I get pretty obsessive over our kitchen. When I get home I throw all the dirty dishes my husband left out into the dishwasher and wipe down the counters before I even take my coat off!
Amanda says
Keep it clean!
I love a clean bathroom, all the time. I do NOT wait for it to get all nasty, with hairs sticking to grime and a ring showing up in the toilet.
Star says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I wipe down our bathroom daily – its our only one! For a tiny bathroom, it gets a lot of use… with our family of four, plus 2 exchange students, and frequent guests. Its a hard working bathroom so I gotta work hard to keep it clean.

OBSESSIVE about clean counters…ANY counter in the house. Kitchen and bathrooms. No crumbs or lingering glasses on the counters please!!!
tammylee says
“KEEP IT CLEAN”
yes, I actually clean my washing machine about every two weeks. i have a hubby in construction so it gets a good scrub to get rid of those “ring around the collar” marks on the drum and the agitator …yuck!
Kelly says

I am a Kindergarten teacher, so washing hands is second nature to me! Wash, wash, sanitizer, wash… I am a freak now washing the tables so germs don’t spread!!
Kayt says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
Becca Hill says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I wish I was more OCD about certain things. I’m crazy about keeping the dishes and glasses in my cupboards lined up and in order. That and my shower curtain always has to be closed – but nobody else in my house seems to get that.
becca ellis says
keep it clean!
I am definitely a clutter-free nut. I can not STAND not being able to see space between things.
I also tend to wash my clothes too much…but thats more because I would generally rather throw things in a hamper than fold them and put them away. I’m pretty sure it creates more work for me, but this way I can delay it :P
roryjean says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I don’t obsessively clean any part of my home- but I do clean my hands often. With two kids in diapers I find myself washing my hands all the time, but as far as the house goes, I am lucky if something is minially clean.
Tamara says
KEEP IT CLEAN! I am definitely an obsessive hand washer, but it keeps away the colds, right? My husband and I are trying to conceive and are working on making greener choices. It would be wonderful to try these products!
Julianna says

I hate clothes thrown on the floor.
sulma says

I’m always removing clutter from the kitchen/breakfast table. The only thing I allow at non-meal times is a vase of flowers :)

Mindy says
Keep it clean!
I used to not not be such a clean freak but now that I live alone (long-term relationship ended a few months ago) I just can’t stop cleaning the place! It keeps my mind off of things and makes me feel so much better! I’m always cleaning in my free time now. And yes, I’m also OCD about hand washing :)
Carolyn says
KEEP IT CLEAN! I am brutal with dishes in the sink. I can’t stand them sitting there for more than a minute!
Katie says
Keep it Clean!
I’ve been dying for some eco-friendly cleaner that doesn’t make my throat and nose sting. I wash my hands a lot. Any time I come home my hands always feel grimy. And I hate unvcacuumed floors and dirty bathrooms.
Ciara Quinn says

Am obsessed with keeping our new shower cubicle clean – must be wiped down and dried after every use, and the chrome fixtures polished. adds at least ten minutes to my morning routine!
Allison D says
Keep it clean!
Gotta have a clean, clutter free kitchen. Especially the sink! I hate going to bed with dishes in the sink!
Michael Ann says
KEEP IT CLEAN…
I am OCD about keeping the bathroom mirror clean and streak free. Little specs of toothpaste or whatever bug me to no end!
julie says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I do have a bit of an obsession with washing my hands, not in a crazy-needs-committing kind of way but I like clean hands! I have been wanting to try Murchison-Hume products for awhile now. I must admit I’d feel my eco-credo would go down the drain if I won though (with the air-freight to Australia when I can just pick it up down the road!). So you don’t need to enter me in the draw. Just wanted to comment and say thanks for posting about Aussie products, I like to see Australians doing well abroad :)
Ally says
Keep it clean!
I don’t clean any one thing obsessively, but when I was nesting before I had our baby I cleaned our stovetop with a q-tip and a toothpick!
Karly says
Keep it clean! I’m not obsessive about any kind of cleaning. Life is too short!
Jill Stigs says
“KEEP IT CLEAN”

Keep it clean! I obsessively clean out my closet.
Laura Stern says
Keep it clean!
I am an obsessive laptop cleaner. After my microbiology class in college, I quickly learned that it is the most germ filled space (even worse than a toilet or a trash can) yuck!
