------------ 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. It works great for cleaning recyclable glass and plastics. I fill the bottle or jar with hot water, spray some Murphy's inside and shake. It cleans it perfectly. The only time I would use Murphy's Oil Soap straight from the bottle is if I had a stain on my clothes. Put a drop, full strength on the clothes stain, rub it in and then put it through the washing machine. Other than that, always dilute it with water! Always test on the bottom edge of your fabric before you do that though. Oh, one other really cool thing I discovered. Murphy's Oil Soap contains citronella oil for the fragrance. Well, citronella oil is a natural bug repellent and repels ants, mosquitoes, fleas, ticks. So in my opinion only, if you use Murphy's Oil Soap around your house, those critters just may think twice before coming inside! ;) ------ Pro's ------ -> A very safe product to use. Gentle on surfaces. Gentile on your skin. -> No harsh chemicals like bleach or ammonia. You can breath easy. -> Cleans surface dirt, wax buildup, cuts grease. -> No residue. Cleans without leaving a film behind. -> Cleans wood well and any other surface in your home! -> Smells clean and fresh -> Highly concentrated, so one bottle will last a long while. Economical ---- Cons ---- None that I can think of at the moment. It does exactly what it is supposed to do, and more! The only surface It's not good for is glass because it's a soap based product. Use vinegar for glass. This is not really a "con", but you must make sure you dilute it to the proper ratio of cleaner to water. If you are even slightly leaning toward too much cleaner to water, it could produce a solution that might be too oily or leave behind a film. So, if you've tried this product in the past and you felt it was too oily for some surfaces, try mixing it again with less cleaner to your water mixture. With test and trial you'll come up with the perfect ratio for all the surfaces you need to clean and it will clean great without leaving behind anything. ---------- Conclusion ----------- Murphy's Oil Soap was made especially for sealed wood but is a fantastic, natural, hardworking, safe cleaner that you can use around your house to clean any surface except glass. I highly recommend this product. Try it and I think you will also agree! ------------------------------ If you enjoyed this review, you may enjoy other product reviews from me.
