How do use this product if you do? I use it in a spray bottle, diluted with water, to spray wipe down cabinet front. Would use it to clean wood floors? How about in the car? I use it wipe everything down other than glass. I think it will smear glass.
Do you use it clean tile floors and granite counter top.

Do you use different products for furniture like table tops?
I use a cap full of Murphy Oil Soap when I do a white wash, along with the detergent and bleach. I had heard it helps keep white clothes whiter.
I don't know how true it is, but none the less, I still do it.

We have a lady come in in once a month or so. She uses it on the wood floors. Floors look a LOT better when she gets finished than they do with BONA products.
In my experience I’ve found white vinegar diluted with water to be as effective as anything other than the strongest of chemicals, which we typically avoid.

Bottom line- probably one of the worst products for “cleaning”- it leaves a residue.
In 1910 (when Murphy’s first hit the market) there were no “poly-finished” hardwood floors- so Murphy’s probably worked wonders on waxed floors.
As far as other surfaces, like furniture, the finish is either lacquer (synthetic), or poly- again, not a finish that needs or is benefited from Murphy’s.
Tile floors- just plain mild soap and water. Granite counter tops- if they’re sealed, there are great cleaning/polishing products on the market. If they aren’t sealed- seal them!
Dusting is a swiffer- no polish or other products required (see previous remark about furniture). Old/antique furniture that is finished with shellac, wax, or oil may require a penetrating oil occasionally due to low humidity conditions.
Know what the finish is- use the least evasive product to clean, dust, or otherwise maintain.

My problem with BONA and Swiffer wet is that they both leave a streaky mess if there's any kind of 'dirt' on the floor. Multiple passes, multiple clean pads... still streaky. I expect if you went back over the clean floor with a BONA dusting pad and a lot of pressure, it might take care of the streaks... but our Swiffer and BONA are now hanging in the closet for 'quick use' for the inevitable spill.
I'll pay attention next time to how much she's diluting the Murphy's... but she's doing it with a bucket and a rag, and I believe wiping dry afterward. No residue to feel, no residue causing footprints.
I'm a woodworker and furniture maker, so I kinda bristled when I saw her using it everywhere... but it makes Mrs Seguinite happy and it's not going to hurt any finish in my lifetime.
