I love it and it leave the house smelling so good!
Well done.
Awesome video
Thanks!
I vacuum my floors first. Normally I use Mop and Glo to clean them. I've got a bottle of Murphys Oil Soap. Once the Mop and Glo is out. I'll give Murphys Oil Soap a try. This is a very helpful video and thanks for sharing. 🪣
I wonder if this would work on tile
Thanks bro ❤
Please get as much water out of your mop when mopping wood floors.
Great video! I just moved into a vintage home with old beautiful wooden floors and I have no idea how to care for them. After mopping with the Murphy's soap, what should I put on the wood next to protect and shine it? Thanks! Love from Memphis, TN~
You could apply a wood protectant on the flooring if it's not already waxed, but probably should either wax the floor yourself, or hire someone to do it properly to give it a long lasting shine.
my wood floors were put down in 1893 so what do i clean them with after i take up old carpet
For such old flooring it might be best to hire professionals to clean and repulsive/condition the floors to restore its natural beauty
@@TheGizmoGarage I agree that’s an old floor and needs to be restored professionally to its original beauty
What kind of cleaning compound should I buy please!
All depends on what you are wanting to clean. Windows? Flooring ? Furniture? Fabric? Glass? Wood? Vinyl?
I’m cleaning wood floors
@@eplski7102 either Murphy’s all soap or milsek holiday oil furniture polish multipurpose cleaner
@@CalliopeFprincessice thank you so much!
Hi LI, does this soap help with dissolving oil stain on wood floor?
Might not remove the oil stains with this soap, but you can try this method floorcritics.com/how-to-clean-oil-off-floors/
Mop the stain with warm water soap and ammonia it will come out
Home Depot sells ringer and bucke…which is better for your floor. Expect curling of the wood planks in the future if you dont
Hello Fi Fan. What method did you use to wax and polish the flooring after you washed it using Murphy's Oil Soap? I normally use a floor wax paste and buff it by hand. One issue I encountered is with elderly people who find the waxed floor far too slippery to be safe for them. As children, we would race down the hallways in our socks after we finished waxing the hallways. That was fun but with old folks not so fun.
I was with Bona every 6 months . So far it works fine.
Ours is so squeaky now and too slippery even too slippery for our dogs.
I have bamboo flooring. Can I use Murphy Oil soap on floor
Absolutely, Bamboo is for the most part non-porous and should be easier to clean compared to other woods.
Does anyone know how I would go about removing paper that stuck to hardwood floor?
soak the paper area slightly wet let soak for a bit till paper is soft, scrub gently with non-scratch scrubbing pads
Do not use hot water.
What about using a steamer?
Steamer also works for cleaning hardwood or laminate floors! But make sure to condition the hardwood floors after steaming or cleaning to seal them.
Use a spin mop
Love the spin mop 😁
What polishing oil did you use?
Try this amzn.to/3Nv6OEC
WHEN YOU MOP USE A SMALL FAN TO GET THE MOISTURE OUT IT WILL DRY AS YOU GO
Is the water warm or cold
warm water, cold water doesn't dissolve the soap as well as warm one.
Did the floor feel slippery after using this product???
Nope, it dries out as this is a cleaning product, and my floor is not treated
Seca rapido
And he just walked all over that clean floor
Idk ppl still use this kind of mop. 😃
You shouldn’t SOAK the floor!!!!!!!
Do the bottles came sealed when they arrived? Cause mine aren't
nope not sealed
Mine came with a seal.
Not sealed from Amazon probably fake.
Lol I was told by a long time carpenter to absolutely never use Murphys oil soap on floors.
If they have sold this for decades... I don't see why not lol... It strips the floor so you need to re-wax/condition the floor.
He was right.
@@TheGizmoGarage cocaine has been sold for decades too........
It WAS good until they changed the formula after a 100 years. Why can they NOT leave anything to alone?
Money
When did they change it
This stuff makes my floor have a white cast and almost like a waxy film
You have wax on your floor and this soap is no good for your floors. It says do not use on waxed surfaces.
Great!
Warm water after mopping with clean mop head. Then dry using another dry mop head
i've always loved Murphy's.may be too much?
Do not use Murphy's oil soap on your floors! I am a floor refinisher of 30 years. Do not use Murphy's oil soap. It leaves a residue that you cannot apply finish to. At the flooring supply store where they sell finish there are signs on the wall. Caution do not recoat over Murphy's oil soap maintained floors. Perform test for adhesion. What this person has just done to their floor means you would have to sand and refinish in the future versus doing simple buff and recoat method which is the recommended maintenance for wood floor. Secondly you never wet your wood floors. The water goes between the boards, swells the wood, causes raised edges etc. This video is the absolute enemy to floors. Great job my friend...
How would you recommend cleaning hardwood floors?
So what to use then?
Yeah that would be great if your provided a solution. Seems like every product out there has a side that says don't use it its bad for hardwood floors...
Yes! 30+ years here also. I would have to sand the floor bare to get any finish to bond to the floor.
Don’t criticize! Provide a better alternative to clean the floor. Otherwise this video is helpful to see what Murphy Oil does to the floor.
How to…… don’t use it. Period. It leaves a wax residue behind, which will prevent you from being able to recoat with a finish. The residue builds and oxidizes causing you to have to keep applying. This is why we have urethane coatings(so you don’t have to wax like 75 years ago) I own a sand on site hardwood flooring company.
I have fake hardwood floor so can I not use Murphy's? It's linoleum hardwood.
Can you use it on oiled floors?
I have both types of finish. On my urethane-coated floors I use water or sometimes a very, very diluted cleaner (like 1-2 ml per 500mL), with tensides that breakdown within two hours. I spray the floor a bit to get it damp and then wipe off the damp with a clean cloth.
But I'm not sure how to correctly care for my oiled floors... I've just been using water. But they are looking a bit dry...
@@hdubbs9174 I wouldn't. What type of oil was applied when sanded and finished?
@@xtravyx1 I'm not 100% sure, since we only had to redo the urethane floors.
If I had to guess it's some sort of oil-wax. The floors were newly installed when we moved in, but we don't know more.
It leave horrible residue, amazing how bad it looks like after you use it. It ruins my floor.
Best way to clean your floors with Murphy oil soap is to throw it away and buy Bona or polycare. Better yet send it back to the manufacturer and tell them it's horrible for wood floors. Fact!
Just saw this... why are there so many people saying Bona is bad and Murphys works great? Opposite of what you are saying.
bona is trash. I used it on my floor once. it leaves streaks. had to get my floors professionally stripped after
@@kawshin211 Bona cleaner or Bona polish, there's a difference, just use Bona cleaner
@@kawshin211 that's because you used the "polish". Bona hardwood floor cleaner is the best. their polish? junk. never use it.
Gotcha! No use.....
Nope. Way too much water applied with this mop
实木地板实在太麻烦
但是好看耐用啊,这个老房子的地板已经用了几十年了
@@TheGizmoGarage 我的不行了 家里有小孩和狗😂
Why not have gloves on your hands not clean
You are right, probably should have used glove
Wear gloves 🧤 that stuff eats skin !!
DO NOT USE IT!!!! It leave a residue after you use it. It ruins my floor. The worst!
