Thank you Murphy's Oil Soap! A home that used to be a church with a wood floor from 1945 that was filthy. Couldn't be sure the best way but I wanted to preserve the antique beauty. So easy with Murphy's Oil and a little bissell flo9r buffer. I can't stop staring at and appreciating this gleaming floor.

Used this on 04/29/23 on a varnished interior wood door. This soap totally messed up the finish. Ended up having to sand the door and restain, but stain is hazy in many places. Not sure we will be able to save this door. It looks terrible. I w used this product for years. Never again!

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. Murphy Wood oil soap has an amazing scent and with the citronella hopefully it will help keep some bugs out of the house. You have to be careful and make sure you dilute it enough or will leave an oily feeling but if used right a bottle will last a long time.

Murphy is amazing with wood, not bugs. When you follow the directions, Murphy can make your wood, dazzling!

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. First off this is a good value in my opinion. It's a large jug of concentrate so it should lay you a while. The first thing I noticed was the smell it was pretty strong and to me if smells like citronella. I didn't mind it but if you don't like citronella you may not like the smell of this. Using it I thought it did a nice job cleaning my wood floors and wood furniture and it was better than previous products I've used. I will be buying this again.

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. I have alot of old woodwork in my house. I thought this did a nice job with dust and routine cleaning. It left a slight sheen on the wood, but it's not a conditioner. I don't know that it would remove heavy soil, but it works good for an everyday cleanser. I have & will continue to use it.

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. One of my first jobs I was a personal assistant to a wealthy family. They lived in a gorgeous house and had two large dogs who wreaked havoc on their hardwood floors. I watched the wife mop with Murphys daily and bring those floors back to life. They glowed like new after a coat of Murphys. I was excited to try it and I have to say 20 years later it's just as good. It makes my wood floors shine like new.

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. I hadn't tried Murphy Oil Soap in years, but remembered that scent from my childhood right away! It's such a mild, clean scent, not overpowering at all. I was very happy with the way it cleaned my laminate wood floors and how it didn't leave streaks nor require rinsing. Now I'm excited to try it out on our kitchen cabinets in this house that we recently moved into, that has all wood finished cabinets in big need of a thorough cleaning. I definitely recommend this product!

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. This is a good product to use for cleaning. I've never used this brand before and I've been trying to do some spring cleaning, so this opportunity came at the right time. I used this product to clean the wood floors in my apartment. It left my floor smelling fresh and looking as good as new. It was really easy to use this product, the cap has a little hole where you can squirt it out so it doesn't come out too fast and it is easy pour. The only thing I wish I would've done differently was use a mop instead of a sponge, it would've been so much easier and quicker LOL.

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. Never used this product before nor even heard of it but impressed by its effectiveness. My entire first floor is hardwood and I always cycle through several methods and products to get the job done. However with just a mop and hot water this cleaned the floors beyond expectations. No streaks, actually works instead of making you work to break apart dirt & grime, and the citronella was a very pleasing scent to be left with. I recommend this product and will purchasing in future.

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. This original floor polish lives up to its historic name. My wooden floors were shining in a way I have never seen after using. the concentrated formula is a great value, as a little of the liquid went a long way. the smell is pleasant and clean smelling. Definitely recommended to add luster to otherwise dull floors.

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. I was very happy with the Murphy Oil Soap Wood Cleaner. Mixing with warm water gave a solution that worked very well to clean our wood doors and cabinets. A particularly stubborn spot in our garage entry door looks great after using this. I'm hoping to try more areas soon.
