Introduction

I just discovered Murphy's Oil Soap about a month ago. I was looking for a good wood cleaner that has been tried and trusted, so I decided to give Murphy's a try. I had a new, wood table that I built and after cleaning it with Murphy's Oil Soap, I was very happy with the results!
Of all things, my little kitten helped me discover other uses for Murphy's. While working through some litter box training issues, my kitten had accidently made a boo-boo on my leather dinning room chair. Murphy's Oil Soap was the only cleaner I had available. I diluted some of Murphy's Oil Soap in a spray bottle filled with water. I sprayed the diluted Murphy's Oil Soap right on the leather chair, and using paper towels, cleaned it up. I reapplied it again spraying all over the chair and wiped it clean with paper towels again. WOW! to my surprise, it cleaned my leather chair perfectly! You would never in a million years guess that anything ever soiled my chair. It cleaned up all the mess and the odor was gone!
So, I thought, hum.. If Murphy's can clean that, how will it do on my counters, stove top, refrigerator door, sinks, and such..That very same day I used it to clean my whole house and it worked like magic! Cleaned, everything, cut grease, and left a fresh, clean sent. So now, I no longer buy any other cleaner. I only use Murphy's Oil Soap, diluted in a spray bottle for all my household cleaning!
I've also used Murphy's Oil Soap diluted in a spray bottle to soak pots and pans with stuck-on, baked on food. I only had to soak it a few moments and it lifted it right off. I keep a small spray bottle next to the sink and I use it to clean the dishes off before I put them in the dish washer.... Read more ›

THE BEST PRODUCT FOR OUR WOOD FLOORS WE HAVE FOUND...WE ARE TALKING ALMOST 50 YEARS HERE FOLKS
September 10, 2011
We have been using this product on our wood floors (in our current home) for over 35 years now. We use no other wood floor cleaner. We have been using Murphy Oil Soap in our homes for almost 50 years now and it was pretty much a standard in the homes of our parents.
Please keep in mind that this product IS NOT a floor wax, It is a natural oil cleaner. We have found that with its continual use that our floors maintain their original hand finished luster. The wood does not dry out nor is any of the finish on the floors ever removed, which by the way, many like products will do from time to time, depending upon the material used and the finish.
There are a couple of things to note about this product. First...never every too much of the stuff, a wee bit of this product goes a long, long way. If you do not follow the directions on the bottle and follow it precisely, i.e. adding too much cleaner to the water, then you could quite well have a mess on your hands in the form of a very oily and somewhat sticky residue. The old thought that "if a little works, then a lot should work even better," does not apply here so take warning! Second, if you have wooden cabinets, in particularly wooden cabinets with some of the newer finishes on them, you might want to test a small out of the way area first. If you use too much of this stuff, i.e. poor it on straight out of the bottle like a neighbor of ours did, then you risk ruining the finish of your wood work. This is really not the fault of the product; no, it is the fault of the user not following directions.
It should also be noted that this product SHOULD NOT be used on an unstained or unwaxed or unfinished wood surface. It is after all, water based and will make a mess of untreated or improperly treated wood.... Read more ›

I have never actually tried Murphy's oil soap for it's intended use (you know cleaning wood floors), but it works great for cleaning paint brushes.

This stuff smells awesome -- like citronella, if you're into that sort of thing. There's been some chatter about whether oil soap will actually damage your floors and leave a residue on them, so let me put that little rumor to rest right now. First of all, READ THE DIRECTIONS. You need to dilute this stuff before using it. By a LOT. Don't just squirt it right from the bottle. I applied Murphy's next to the Bona cleaner on my floors. Bona = dull matte finish. Murphy's = clean and shiny. I had to go over the Bona section of the floor with the Murphy's to make it shine again. I think I paid maybe $3 for my bottle at Target.
Bye-bye, Bona.
Bye-bye, Bona.

FOLLOW DIRECTIONS BEFORE USING !!!
Murphy Oil liquid soap is the very best you can get when you want to clean wood--even wooden floors, just as the other reviewer correctly notes. This stuff goes a long way and you don't need to use lots of it in order to clean--just pour some into a bucket of water, mix the two for just a minute or so and voila! There you have it--a great liquid solution for cleaning wood surfaces and wooden floors.
This product can, according to some people I know, also be used to clean leather. However, I personally haven't tried this one. If you want to try it, just clean a very inconspicuous area of the leather so that if it doesn't satisfy you nobody will notice.
Obviously, this stuff is NOT meant to be ingested. Keep this product out of the way of children and pets.
Overall, Murphy's Oil liquid soap for cleaning wood is the very best quality soap for cleaning wood available. I highly recommend this product.
