Remember that question we asked yestarday? Here is the question again and the answer.
Not a trivia question, but a spotlight cleaner we are going to talk about. What popular cleaner has been around for over 120 years? Somehow this cleaner has been passed down from generation to generation as the good to all-purpose cleaner for everything.
The answer is Murphy Soap, yep, it was first formulated and sold locally in 1905 by Jeremiah T. Murphy in Cleveland, Ohio. For years people have used this for floors, cabinets, tables, and even in their laundry.
Here is the problem a lot of people use it wrong; we are going to list what not to use Murphy’s oil soap on (This came straight from Murphy’s oil soap’s website https://www.murphyoilsoap.com/murphy-home-care/murphy-oil-soap-uses #:~:text=Better%20Homes%20And%20Gardensopens,tables%2C%20nightstands%20and%20bed%20frames.)
Avoid using the soap on the following wood surfaces:
• Modern Polyurethane-Coated Floors: Because polyurethane creates an impenetrable protective shield, the soap cannot be absorbed and will instead build up on the surface. Over time, this creates a dull, streaky, and sticky film that is incredibly difficult to remove

• Unsealed or Raw Wood: Moisture easily penetrates raw wood. Soaking or mopping these surfaces can lead to swelling, warping, and permanent water damage

• Laminate and Engineered Wood: These materials are sensitive to moisture and the heavy surfactants in the soap can strip and discolor the top photographic layer

• Paint or High-Gloss Finishes: The oil can strip the shine and cause dull, cloudy blemishes on the high-gloss cabinetry or painted furniture.

• Water-Based finishes: Wood treated with modern water-based topcoats will often become dull and smudged when exposed to oil-based soaps.
