***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 obsessively clean in general but one thing I can’t get away with is washing my hands with soap, regardless of the situation. I cannot wash my hands with just water which makes them really dry when I constantly have to wash my hands after playing with / feeding / petting my two puppies!

KEEP IT CLEAN!
I am pretty OCD about a clean organized home. I’m a sweep the floor on my hands & knees kind of person. Than I like to clean the floors on my hands and knees also, and get the baseboards. I’m so glad that i have only a 1200 SQ FT home!

I despise a dirty kitchen floor. I have a black and white tile design that shows everything. I clean it 3 times a day sometimes. Sweep and wipe w/ towels between mopping.
Erin says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I am an obsessive hand washer. If my hands are sticky/dirty, I will be in the worst mood ever until I can wash my hands. Same goes with my hands being dry, I’m a lotion junkie too.
Kelly S. says
KEEP IT CLEAN!…
I feel as though I’m forever cleaning off my kitchen island. With 2 young kids, it collects trinkets, rocks, crayons, school papers, etc. etc. and just the general crumbs and mess of many peanut butter & honey sandwiches. It’s a daily trial!
Renae says
Keep it clean, its the kitchen countertops in my house…scrub em down every day. But those fancy cleaners would have me scrubbing everything down :)
bethany G says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I am not obsessively clean about anything. Although I HATE dirty carpets and rugs. Wait, no, hold on – I don’t HATE them, but I LOVE the difference a good vacuuming makes. So I guess I even like dirty carpets, because they make me feel so great when I clean them up!
Jules says
KEEP IT CLEAN! I’m a hands washed constantly gal. The kids always are hearing me say “did you wash your hands?” as soon as they walk in the door from school and at all other times of the day once they’re home. Don’t like the feel of sticky hands or bodies!
Nolwenn says
KEEP IT CLEAN! I am obsessive with washing my hands (always with soap!), between the moment I get up and I go to work (30 minutes), I always manage to wash my hands at least 4-5 times… and it goes on like that all day long!
LoriSF says
KEEP IT CLEAN
