Max Kater was born and raised in a beige-and-leafy suburb of
Los Angeles,
California where she dreamed of Bright Lights and the Big
City. After a brief stint as a Junior Publicist in Hollywood she landed
her first job as a Fashion Editor and never looked back. Her job took her to
all the fashion capitals and ultimately to Hong Kong, where she met
her husband and business partner, Peter Kater, in a private disco.
Max gave up her career as a Fashion Editor to be a stay-at-home Mother,
dreaming of gorgeous housecleaning products that didn’t exist.Peter Kater was born in Sydney, Australia and had
the same itchy feet to see the world as Max. Growing tired of morning group
exercise at Mitsubishi
Corporation, "I do miss the morning stretches
sometimes," he set his cap for Old Hong Kong. There he worked for an
eco-savvy company that started his long association with environmentally
conscious businesses. After a long and successful tenure in the corporate
world,
Peter has been gently coaxed away from his lucrative
career to become the Managing Director of Murchison-Hume."Not nearly the
same salary, but the perks are good."After launching in Sydney in 2007
they have returned to live in Los Angeles with their
two young sons, Ben and Charlie who were the inspiration behind Boy’s
Bathroom Cleaner.

"Superlative" Liquid Hand Soap

Do you know where your hands have
been?
500mls
$21.00 inc GST
We all know that frequent hand washing is one of the easiest and
most effective ways of staying healthy.
But what are you washing your hands with? Some supermarket soaps
are very harsh and drying and others are so heavily scented it’s like dipping
your hands in cheap synthetic fragrance. Plech!
Our coconut-based liquid soap is blended with wheat proteins,
chamomile, rose hip extracts and vitamins to buffer hands against dryness and
our lightly scented formulas mean you can use them while cooking (and
eating). Lather up, rinse and dry. Follow with our Decidedly Rich Hand Cream.
Now that’s saving your skin!

I love Murchison Hume’s
packaging; the dark brown bottles with a nice plain white label, modern and
sophisticated. I also love the writing they use on their labels it is really
fancy!! I feel really fancy when using their products (without the fancy price
tag)
With the surface spray I will
use this until there is no more left, then I will be very quick to buy more!!!
The smell… As you would all know I am a sucker for great smelling products!! I
have NEVER smelt a cleaning products that smells so good and chemical free. I
used the Australian white grapefruit. It
actually does a great job at cleaning as well. I have stone bench tops and
sometimes when I clean there is streaks left on the bench but counter
intelligence leaves my benches nice and shiny without a streak.
As for their hand wash I trust
it enough to use it on the kids. It is really gentle and smells great, but
really cuts down on grime and cleans them hands!! My hands never get dry when
using superlative, which means no need for hand
cream after every wash ,when to be honest that kind of steers me away
from washing my hands a lot of the time. I love the coconut smell that stays on
your hands, and you know its natural, as the smell doesn’t punch you in the
face.
This foams up nicely on your
hands and doesn’t leave them feeling gritty if you don’t wash every little bit
of it off either. I will be getting on
to Murchison Hume and probably try and get all my household products switched
to them as they look so pretty on the counters and any where they sit!
