Know before you buy
This cleaner is specifically formulated for sealed wood surfaces. It is safe for most finished wood furniture, cabinets, and flooring, but it is not intended for use on raw or unfinished wood.
For most applications, you do not need to rinse. Simply dilute the soap in water according to the instructions, wipe the surface with a damp cloth, and allow it to dry.
Yes, Murphy Oil Soap is a popular choice for cleaning sealed hardwood floors. Because it is a liquid concentrate, ensure you dilute it properly with water to avoid leaving a residue or making the floor slippery.
When used as directed, Murphy Oil Soap cleans without leaving a heavy waxy residue. It is designed to remove dirt and grime while maintaining the wood's natural luster.
It is best to exercise caution with oil-finished or waxed wood, as this cleaner is primarily designed for sealed, polyurethane-coated surfaces. If you are unsure about your finish, test a small, inconspicuous area first.
