Q: can you use this on vinyl or leather seats and how would you mix it
A: Since we have not tested our Murphy Oil Soap Liquid Wood Cleaner for use on leather, we would not recommend you use it to clean any type of leather. For usage on vinyl, we recommend diluting 1/4 cup of liquid Murphy's per gallon of warm water.

Q: Can this soap be used as a stain-remover on fabrics?
A: Thanks for asking! The Murphy Oil Soap Wood Cleaner can be used on colorfast washable fabrics. Wet stain and apply MOS liquid full strength to laundering as usual. This treatment should be applied quickly after the stain occurs, in most cases stains are too well set for any remedy to work. Use two full capfuls of MOS per gallon of cold water and follow washing instructions on fabric.

Q: Does it leave wood floors slick or slippery when dry?
A: For Murphy's oil, we recommend applying the product with the help of a cloth and letting the surface air-dry for the best dry surface. It should not be sticky or slippery afterwards. However, liquid Murphy Oil Soap must be diluted in water unless cleaning leather or pre-treating fabric. On most surfaces, application directly from the bottle may result in a sticky surface.
