***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!

Black marks on walls. I’m always painting or cleaning the walls in my house. My husband thinks I’m nuts.

Patricia says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I wish I was a bit more compulsive in cleaning, but I’m not. What drive me crazy is when the hubby makes a sandwich and puts the bread on the counter, and not on a plate!
Pamela says
KEEP IT CLEAN
Black and white floor (ala Versailles) drives me nuts, the black shows the dust and the white shows the dirt!
Mary Young says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I’m actually a bed neat-freak. Sheets have to be tight (no wrinkles!) And pillowcases have to be clean. Otherwise I can’t sleep at all. I’ll be up tonight dreaming of eco-cleaning products!

I am obsessive about my hard wood floors. I sweep at least once a day and that is usually a day I am only home a few hours. Especially now,there is pollen and grass that come in constantly! It drives me crazy!
Marta says
Keep it clean – my nails – i always have to have them perfectly clean :D

Ashley says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I am an absolute clean freak. The clean freak beast in me never really emerged until I came to own my own home. My biggest cleaning issue is kitchen countertops. I don’t like to see crumbs or streaks. I’m constantly going over it!
Adele says
Keep it clean! I am really obsessive about things on my counter top. I hate papers and loose things floating around. My husband hates it because I stick mail and other things in drawers or baskets, or better yet, just throw them away if they sit there long enough!
Lizzy from Lizzy Designs says
KEEP IT CLEAN!!!
I can’t stand clutter, so I love to organise it all! :)
Jen says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I am a cleaning nut! But I REALLY can’t stand dirt on my floor. I am typically sockless and shoeless, so anything on the floor will stick to my feet bottoms, ish!
Thanks guys! All of your give-a-ways ROCK but this one really tickles me pink!
xoxo!
Katie G says
KEEP IT CLEAN
Ummm that’s a tough one. My whole apt is pretty clean/organized —- living in NYC you don’t really have an option otherwise.
Stephanie D says
Keep it clean!
I’m actually a very clutter-y person, but I need for the bathroom to stay clean. I like a clean sink and sparkling fixtures. Interestingly, I just bought some “green” cleaning solutions, because the regular old scrubbing bubbles and such have gotten too strong for me! You never can tell I guess! Crossing my fingers!
Amanda Ray says
Keep it clean!!
I wipe down our kitchen counters about 10 times a day!
brianne says
keep it clean! i’m all about sweeping. can’t handle dust bunnies!

KEEP IT CLEAN!
I’m really paranoid about anything that meat has touched. If meat has touched something I definitely go overboard to make sure it gets cleaned properly.
I love, love, love this give away!

I am obsessive about clutter. I like things to be clean in a general sense, but clutter is what KILLS me.
Shannon says
Keep it Clean!
I’m obsessive about putting clothes away where they below. Whether that means hung in the closet, folded in the dresser, or in the dirty clothes hamper. Pick it up! :)
Emmy A says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I have a hard time cooking if my kitchen isn’t clean. We don’t have a dishwasher, so I’ve had to make some concessions for dishes by the sink, but if there are crumbs on the counter, I have to wipe them up before I begin!
Jennifer says

My current cleaning obsession is the grout lines of the tile floor in the bathroom. I’ve pulled out many a toothbrush to get those things white again!

Oh my word. So so so excited for this giveaway!! I can’t handle dirty floors. And I have super dark hardwood floors and a white dog who loooooves to shed. It’s not a good combination!!
Lizzie says
Keep it clean! I can’t stand clutter–I’ve been on a mission this week to get rid of at least one item from each room in the house (some rooms are easier than others!)
Aley says
KEEP IT CLEAN!!!
I hate to admit that I actually love cleaning products, and can not work on any school related activities (included finals this week) until my apartment is completely clean, I’m not sure whether its OCD or procrastination, either way I would love to be lucky enough to have these incredible products.
ashley says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I am obsessive about my email inboxes- personal and work. For some reason I can’t stand it when there is clutter or unanswered emails. This may be more along the lines of organization but I am OBSESSIVE about it!
Amy says
Keep it clean…
The whole outlook on my day changes once my bed it made!
Erica Cummings says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I hate cleaning, but there are days where i get obsessive about cleaning, and I clean the whole house from top to bottom (must be on full moons ha). Maybe these products will help me create better cleaning habits :)
BJacobs says
KEEP IT CLEAN
I’m probably less of a clean freak than most, but I cannot stand clutter. Reducing the amount of “stuff” around the house always makes me happier!
Lisa says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I always feel better if the kitchen is clean. We’re finishing up the remodel of our three bedrooms and even if the rest of the house is a wreck, a clean kitchen will make me feel like the house isn’t so bad.
Jessi E says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
The bed has to be made in my house. If I am not in it, then I want it to be perfect.
Rebecca says
KEEP IT CLEAN!!
To be honest, I am a neat freak in general (thanks & love, Mom!) but the bathroom gets a wipe down almost daily. From the toilet seat to the toothpaste gunk in the sink to the fly-aways in my hairbrush. I just don’t feel clean if my bathroom is not.
EHayes says
KEEP IT CLEAN!
I used to be OCD about brushing my teeth, until it caused my gums to start receeding at a young age (in highschool!), now that my teeth are sensitive I stick to twice a day, but I’m a clean freak about clutter in the kitchen and even having to have the pantry organized a special way….
heather s says
KEEP IT CLEAN!!
i actually hate cleaning, but i can’t stand clutter, even though i’m definitely a culprit. specifically, i can’t stand dirty laundry that doesn’t make it into the hamper!
Katie M. says
KEEP IT CLEAN! honestly, I’m not very obsessive about any cleaning! but maybe I will be when I have these super cool cleaning products?
