Murchison-Hume: Environmentally friendly, plant-based cleaning products made by a Mother of two sons Murchison-Hume was created by former fashion editor and mother of two, Max Kater, when her son developed allergic sensitivities to common household cleaning products. Unable to find any products that were both natural, safe (and actually worked) she decided to create her own. Our plant-based home products are nontoxic, rapidly biodegradable, free from environmental pollutants and never tested on animals. Jen’s list members will receive 20% off any purchase of $30 or more now through the end of December. Use code: JEN20.
