WE WANT TO LEAVE THINGS BETTER THAN WE FOUND THEM

TEAM FAVORITE - MURPHY OIL SOAP --A Spring Cleaning Must Have!

Among our cleaning team, we all voted Murphy Oil Soap as our favorite all purpose general cleaner.   It is not a disinfectant, but does a great job on base boards, office furniture...including chairs and sides/fronts/tops of desks...and MUCH more!   Murphy Oil has been around for a long time and it is timeless.   The scent is not only fresh and clean but lasting.  

DID I MENTION THAT THIS IS A MULTI-PURPOSE CLEANER?

Product Rating: Pros: Biodegradable. Cleans wood like no other product. Has multiple uses. Inexpensive.

The Bottom Line: This ancient product can't be beat for cleaning wood and wax build-up. It also has other uses around the office,  house and yard. 

The Product:

Murphy’s Oil Soap has been around for eons, over a hundred years. It comes to us from the Colgate/Palmolive Company, originally founded in the early 1800’s.

This product is biodegradable and contains a principal natural ingredient, Potassium Soap of Vegetable Oil, combined with sodium EDTA, propylene glycol and fragrance. It comes in a no frills, transparent, 16fl oz, plastic bottle with a screw off cap. The cleaner is a translucent pale tan color with a unique, pleasant fragrance. Average price per small bottle = $3.99.   Simply Cleaner uses the Commercial Grade version which is purchased in a larger bottle, you can find these at Menards and Sams as well as any Janitorial Supply Company.


Colgate/Palmolive’s Claim:

Surprisingly, I found out that this product is not just for cleaning wood. It is actually a household cleaner that takes care of a multiple of tasks around the house and yard:

· Safely cleans inside the refrigerator without harming the enamel
· Cleans the kitchen floor (tile, linoleum/vinyl, or wood!), cabinets, cupboards, countertops, and even the kitchen sink
· Easily removes dust and build-up on countertops and fixtures
· Safely cleans painted surfaces
· Cleans walls and doors around light switches and doorknobs
· Safely and gently cleans cribs, highchairs, playpens, toys, vinyl mattresses, and mats. It leaves no harmful residue behind -- only its fresh smell.
· Clean walls and painted furniture
· Makes a great pre-spotter, especially on organic stains like grass, blood, and soil. Just apply Murphy's directly to the stain, rub into the fabric, and wash as usual. Cuts through grease, lipstick, and ink on fabrics. For tough stains, spritz thespot and let soak for a few hours.
· Removes dirt and mildew on outdoor furniture
· Safely cleans plastic and wicker

Murphy Soap Oil won me over when my 2 year old grandchild spilled a whole bottle of fire engine red finger nail polish on my carpet. Of course I got into a panic but I quickly thought about Murphy Soap and the fact that it was oil based.
To make a long story short the Murphy Soap (strait, no water) removed every bit of the polish. There is absolutely no sign of the polish left there.
I've never let myself get out of the stuff since. I use it for almost everything except toilets. lol!

I'm ABSOLUTELY the biggest fan of Murphy Soap Oil!!!!!!!

That "unique" smell is straight up citronella. So not only is this a good general use cleaner, that's REAL citronella oil in there, so it will chase off and keep away common household insects including flies, mosquitos, and SPIDERS. (You can even spray your plants with a diluted mix to reduce aphids and other pests in your garden.)

I used to have horrible problems keeping spiders out of my basement suite and dorm rooms. But once I started cleaning surfaces (including windowsills and blinds) with Murphy's Oil Soap, there was not a single spider to be found.
