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).

Scrub The Kitchen Sink

Stainless steel sinks suffer the most. We’re constantly dumping dirty plates and used forks into them. Grease, old food, and dirt build-up, especially after heavy use. To properly clean your sink, wash away the grease with water, and then pour Murphy Oil all over your sink and scrub. You’ll end up with a beautiful, shining sink that looks as good as new. Say goodbye to bacon grease and butter! Be careful of pouring a lot of it down your drain so it doesn’t clog your pipes (Helpful Horse Hints).

DIY Cleaning Wipes

Instead of going to the store and buying cleaning wipes, you can easily make your own. All you have to do is combine one cup of white vinegar, a tablespoon of baking soda, and one and a half tablespoons of Murphy Oil. Combine it all in two cups of warm water, and then soak microfiber towels in the solution. 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).

Murphy Oil Soap

Use It To Clean Wooden Cabinets

As we’ve mentioned, you can use Murphy’s Oil Soap to clean your wooden cabinets. It’ll add a beautiful shine to the exterior and interior of your wooden kitchen or bathroom cabinets. Because cabinets are one of the parts of your home that get the least amount of attention, they’re usually the dirtiest. Wood cleaners are expensive. Murphy’s Oil does the job just as effectively and for a way better price. Make use of that oil soap! It gets deep into the grime of dirt and sludge (Murphys Oil Soap).

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. It won’t dull or damage your floors, either (Yodeon Decor).

To make an organic pesticide that’s easy to use, you need to get creative. That’s where Murphy’s Oil comes in. You can make an inexpensive, organic oil with Murphy’s Oil to reduce and limit the number of pests around your home. Use a cup of vegetable oil with a quarter cup of Murphy’s Oil soap. Put it into a spray bottle with water, shake it, and spray it around your home and outside in your garden and plants to prevent pesky pests from coming inside. They’ll get stuck in the oil and eventually die. Even though it’s unfortunate, it’ll keep you and your family safe and healthy. It’s time to enjoy your garden (Dining With Debbie).
