Awful new formula leaves sticky mess
New formula- and it is sticky and awful. I threw out the full bottle. Leaves a sticky tacky floor which was very challenging to remove.

Bring back the real original
Bring back the old formula. The one you started selling a few years ago dries out the wood and leather. I looked at the ingredients on my last, old container and compared to the new one and they are different. I'll try to get a photo. Also, the past was better than the liquid for our purposes. We used to get a large tub of the paste every couple of months.

Disappointed
Bought this today thinking it was the original. Got home and opened it. Didn't notice it uses citronella oil in the formula. The smell made me want to throw up. Why would anyone want there house to smell like that? Threw it away. What happened to the original?

They ruined a great product.
I used to love this product and would recommend it to friends and family. I don't know why they changed the formula, but it's horrible now.

Should I Stay or Should I Go?
Ugh! I don't know whether to buy this now! I too was a big fan of the 'original' Murphy's Oil Soap but over the years got away from using it. Now I have a reason to come back to my tried and true orange spray and oil soap, but after reading all these recent negative reviews, I don't know whether to just pass and look for something new. I'm sorry that you changed the long standing, tried and true formula and even as I'm writing this I guess I'm talking myself into finding a different product. Its disappointing that you had to make this change that seems to be a very unpopular one.

Please bring back the old formula.
Back in the 1990's I would mix liquid Murphy oil soap with turpentine to clean my oil paint brushes. Mixing the liquid soap with turpentine would generate a thick paste that could clean the gunk off of most anything. I have never been able to make it since then; coincidentally that was when colgate-palmolive took over and changed the formula. I recently tried it again, and it just turned into a useless milky white liquid. I know turpentine hasn't changed so the only logical conclusion is that colgate must have done something to the original formula, or severely watered it down.

Murphy's oil soap is no longer a good product.
I've been using Murphy's oil soap for 25 years. I used the paste. The liquid was not as effective for my purposes. The last bottle I bought was definitely not the same product I'd used for years. Instead of conditioning the wood and leather, it dried them out. Why would you change a product that had such a good following and great recommendations? I won't be buying it anymore and will tell my clients to stop purchasing it. WHY DID YOU CHANGE THE FORMULATION?

Pretty Good
I just bought a bottle labeled Murphy concentrated Wood Cleaner. It seems to work for cleaning furniture but not as thick as it used to be. I like the delicate scent. 32oz bottle should last for many years!!

Not the same product---VERY POOR REPLACEMENT
I like the original product better. Completely different mixture, texture and scent. Very disappointed in whatever you did to change this product. Used to leave my wood glowing;.now it's just a drab mess. I had to use the 2 other cleaners to get the drab slime film off of my table that was left by your product. You were very dishonest in pretending and marketing that this was the same product. It is nothing like the old product and you have displayed a very disappointing lack of honesty and integrity.

Not the same
I’m so disappointed. Murphys Oil Soap has been my go to cleaner for over 30 years. I ran out and went to the store to get a new bottle and was a little confused when I saw that the labeling had changed. But that’s not the only thing that has changed. It does not work as well and does not smell as good as the original product. In this world, there is so very little that you can depend on, but I always thought that Murphys would be a constant. I guess I’ll have to find something else now.

What happened
When you read all the positive reviews, it appears most of the reviews are for the formula before the new formula, which was a great product. The new formula is not so great. They changed the smell. It doesn’t bring back nostalgic memories. How can it? The new smell has only been around for a few years. I miss the old formula without the citronella. I loved cleaning with the old formula that stated 98% natural. The company can keep their 99% natural with citronella.

Very disappointed in the product and company
I just bought a new bottle. Definitely not the same product. Can’t stand the citronella smell. I loved the old smell. The new formula dries out my hands, the old product never did. I started checking into it and it looks like the ingredients are different even though the bottle says same formula. ? I used to use Murphy’s for everything. I will not be buying it anymore! I will be looking for a different cleaning product if anyone has any ideas. So so disappointed that the company decided to change a loved and trusted product that had been around for years. It is definitely not the original formula as the bottle states. Bring back the old formula exactly as it was before!!!!

Not the original.
This is not the original. It is chemically different and certainly not what I need or want. You might have well branded it "New Murphy's Oil Soap". It worked so well for Coke.
