Q: Can this soap be used as a stain-remover on fabrics?
submitted by Winters in Wisconsin - 4 months ago
A: Yes it is very effective in removing stains from fabrics
submitted byAj - 3 months agoA: 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: can you use this on vinyl or leather seats and how would you mix it
submitted by fisher - 8 years ago
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.
submitted byColgate Palmolive Consumer Affairs - 7 years agoBrand expertA: I used Murphy Oil Spray cleaner on the leather seats of my car, after my children (toddlers at the time, in car seats) spilled apple juice that subsequently dried on the leather. Worked Great!

Q: Does it remove scuff marks
submitted by Peggy - 10 days ago
A: While our Murphy's Oil Soap can help remove some surface stains, we cannot guarantee that it will remove scuff marks.

Q: Can this be used to clean the inside of a car
submitted by Salena - 1 month ago
A: Hello, yes this can be used to clean the inside of a car that has a leather interior only! We recommend using the oil soap like a leather conditioner on leather furniture or your vehicles dashboard area or upholstery (not cloth). Use the oil soap at full strength and apply it to a dry cloth. Work it over the area, then use a second cloth to buff it.

Q: I don't see the instructions on te bottle on how to delute it. What ratio of Murphy and water should I use? Thanks.
submitted by Itou - 4 months ago
A: Hey we're sorry you're having trouble finding the directions on the label. We recommend diluting 1/4 cup of liquid Murphy's per gallon of warm water, and for heavy cleaning, Use 1/2 cup per gallon of warm water. We hope this helps!
submitted byColgate Palmolive Consumer Affairs - 4 months agoBrand expert
Q: If I mix this up in a spray bottle, does it need to be used right away? Or how long do you think it lasts once diluted? Thank you!
submitted by Coppola - 6 months ago
A: Hey there! we recommend using our Murphy's soap as directed on the bottle. This formula has not been tested to be used in a spray bottle to be used later. For a spray option check out our Murphy Cleaning Spray. 🙂

Q: Does it leave wood floors slick or slippery when dry?
submitted by KWLL9 - 8 months ago
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.

Guests are saying
The recent changes to Murphy's Oil Soap have left many guests disappointed, particularly due to the introduction of citronella oil, which alters the beloved scent and effectiveness of the product. While some guests appreciate its cleaning capabilities on various surfaces, the new formula has not met the expectations set by the original. Guests are seeking a return to the classic formula that has been trusted for generations, highlighting the importance of scent and performance in their cleaning routines.

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?

Fantastic wood cleaner
There is nothing better than Murphys Oil soap to wash wood. I've used it for over 35 years. It smells wonderful. It leaves your wood floor, cabinets, baseboards, window trims etc so clean and for lack of a better word, moisturized.

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.

Waxy
I wanted to love this but, I just refinished my hardwood floors and used this to clean and it left kind of a waxy film on it. Maybe I didn’t dilute it enough?
