Use As A Permanent Marker Remover

All parents know about the dreaded marker stain, whether it ends up on your wall, your floor, or your furniture. There’s nothing worse than finding a permanent marker stain in a place it shouldn’t be. Whiteboards suffer the most, and most of the time, that marker doesn’t stay on the whiteboard. You can remove marker stains on whiteboards and your wall using a combination of Murphy Oil and water. Use a cloth to blot the stain. As you blot, the marker will transfer to the cloth and remove it from the surface, whether it’s a wall, clothing, or furniture (How to Clean Stuff).

Use As A Carpet Stain And Clothes Stain Remover

To remove pesky carpet stains from large areas, or to simply keep your carpet free from stains, add Murphy’s soap oil to your vacuum. If it’s in a small spot, you can add a small amount of Murphy’s oil as a spot-clean using a small cloth. Let the solution sit on the stain for at least thirty minutes to work its magic and penetrate the fibers. To disperse the solution, scrub the soap in a circular motion. When it’s finished, you can vacuum up the solution, or simply remove it with water and a clean cloth (Hunker).

This solution will last a long time and is safer and more effective to use than the chemical wipes you buy at the store (Pinterest).

Prevent Cracking Of Laminate Floors

Even though it’s more cost-effective in the long run to install traditional wood flooring in your home, you might opt for laminate floors. To keep them in tip-top shape and prevent them from cracking and popping, apply the soap to your floor as you would with any cleaner. It takes less than a day for the oil to be effective and stop your floors from squeaking. To prevent leaving any streaks, apply it with mopping and the damp-dry method.
