Murphy Oil Soap Product Review - How to Get the Icky, Sticky Greasy Gunk Off Kitchen Cupboards

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Cleaning kitchens and keeping it organized is key to maintaining a happy space in the home. People spend a lot of time in their kitchens, cooking, chatting, working and eating. It's a place that needs to bring them harmony and pride. In these videos I give some great advice and tips on organising, cleaning, and the best products to use to achieve that relaxing space for your clients. kzbin.info/aero/PLh1fKdNH3piTcr8ExrDcgdxomn4-2j6qs

Angela, I didn't know about the Murphy oil soap to clean my cupboards that look just like the ones you showed cleaning,,,same style and colora. . I used Lysol kitchen cleaner and the second time I prayed it on to clean the silverware drawer, the shinny finish turned dull and seemed to roll off when I used a dry towel to wipe off the Lysol. Now I can see where the finish is gone period and looks bad. What can I do to bring back the shine and luster. I think the whole kitchen cupboards have lost their luster and really looks dated now. Help.

[@lesliedowling6642]

Hi Angela. Does this work on heavy grime over the vented microwave range hood? Is it a different process?

[@francessandifer5027]

I've used on my kitchen cabinets the Murphy's Oil Soap that's designed to mix with water, & I love it!!! :)

@@AskAngelaBrown That's the first thing I thought, "WOW, this lady is very thorough". I have a job of trying to clean up a rental unit for the owner, her previous tenant had a "BUNCH" of cats, when she got sick and went in the hospital for awhile. The owner had to gather them up and take them to the humane society, but being left unattended the damage was already done. There is cat feces all over the wood floors and the smell is very bad, there is also fly feces all over the place especially the ceilings/lights/fans. The owner wants it cleaned it up, so she can get a new tenant in there as soon as possible. I'm the handyman/maintenance guy, not a cleaner. Do you have any solutions to combat this nasty/horrible situation? Please help... Thank you.

@kimmyb908 I'm 15 years in! Also solo... Talk to me about superrrr greasy cabinets (above the stovetop) I mean, it's thick!! And they have dark brown shaker cabinets. I can actually see where previous attempts have taken off the brown stain...I don't want to damage these cabinets! Even diluted Dawn with a microfiber seemed to cause discoloration with my first attempt, on a different area, around the handle. It was hardly noticeable, but now I'm legit afraid. I got some Sal's Suds to try again... And I'll grab some Murphy's... Wanted to know if you had any additional thoughts from personal experience, being 25 years in business?

I really like that you give the safety data and recommend gloves and goggles. A few years ago I was cleaning the floor with Murphy's oil soap and unknowingly had the sprayer backwards and sprayed it in my eyes the product stings like what I couldn't believe and I was instantly blinded. After groping my way past the dog and down the hallway to the bathroom sink, flushed my eyes under the faucet until I was finally able to squint enough find the number on the label and call their Poison Control Center. I still remember the lady's voice that answered the phone because she was terrific. She told me just keep rinsing I think for 20 or 30 minutes and then my eyes would be alright. It was extremely extremely painful but my eyes are perfectly fine now and I appreciate Murphy's Oil Soap and their hotline!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Oh no, what a sad story. Thanks for sharing. The key with using any chemical besides water is to use with caution. We say you can never be too safe. I am so glad you are okay now, and that you had such a great experience with their poison control department. Hats off to you for knowing how to handle that unfortunate situation.

This is absolutely game changing. For reference, I painted our wood kitchen cabinets a creamy white by hand a few years ago with Benjamin Moore Aura paint. Loved how they turned out but had no clue how to clean them and was fearful of ruining my many hours of hard work and expensive paint. Using Angela’s second method made them beautiful again without damaging the paint finish. I used the white (softest) brush overall and the small yellow brush in the grooves. The Murphy’s premixed bottles smell incredible. Smells so much better than the concentrate, which is a wonderful product but the smell isn’t nearly as good. I’m going to get so much use out of this brush set and cleaner. Thank you! 🙏

What a lovely thing to say. Thank you. For the tops of the cabinets you don't need to use a drill brush and if you fry foods, cook bacon or smoke in the house you will most likely have some black tar up there. Standing on a step ladder that allows you to reach the top you can use some paper towels and Krud Krutter Original Degreaser/Cleaner Concentrate amzn.to/31srwvp to cut through the grease and icky stuff we usually find up there and then toss out the paper towels when you're done. You don't want that stuff going through the wash on a cloth. LOL. :-) Let me know how it goes. :-)

Anything would be better. I think true porcelain coating would not be harmed? Could the enamel paint I messed up on my fridge have been softened by oils or a cleaner like 409?

I use Murphy Soap I live close to an airport and the dirt on my wood floors is awful. It cut through it with some elbow grease. Great video. Learned alot. Thank you.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thanks for sharing this. I appreciate your tips. Does living near the airport make you house more dusty than normal or is it residue from jet fuel in the air?

[@nicola.m.cameron.author]

Those drill brushes are BRILLIANT. I've been using Murphy's Oil Soap for decades so I know the job it can do, but I had no idea these brushes and pads existed. Just bought a set and I'm going to be using them everywhere. Thanks so much for this video!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

LOL. Once you have them you can't go back. They are truly a game changer. Let me know how you like them.

[@deandoxtator7137]

Thank you so much for this video Angela i was getting so frustrated on the kitchen cupboards when i clean clients homes. I would use degreaser on all types of cupboards than i noticed when the cupboards were made of cherrywood or expensive wood it would leave this white film stain. I felt so embarrassed and bad about not knowing how to bring back the shine on the cupboards. Thank you so much for this video i will go out and these products.

Wow!!! I’m going to use this product. I have owned it in the past. I will use it here in Dallas when I move out in January to sell my house. I will also use it again when I move into my house in Glendale, Arizona that I have been renting for six years. My cabinets here are a very dark wood. My cabinets there are maple.

I’ve been staring at my icky, sticky cabinets for a year now and wasn’t sure where and how to start, but thanks to your great tutorial I think I can do it! I was planning to hire someone. I give you 10 thumbs up too!!!

[@deborahtorres9378]

Also does the product work on cleaning the outside of microwave?

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thanks for the kind words of encouragement and support. This is not the product I would use on the outside of a microwave (if it's stainless steel or plastic). While it is a soap and an oil soap, your best bet would be to treat the outside of the microwave with something designed for that type of surface and the type of soil you are drying to remove. Does that make sense?

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Hooray! Thank you so much. I have not received 10 thumbs up in a VERY long time. You just made my weekend. 😊

[@bobbiec6924]

Great video. Thanks! About 30 years ago, I moved into a house that had many kitchen cabinets. The cabinet doors and drawer fronts were very dull. There was a sticky film all over them that had attracted dust for 20 years. I could scrape the thick, sticky stuff off with my thumbnail. Before trying to clean them, I asked the owner what she had used to clean the cabinets (I though it might help me decide what kind of cleaner to use). She told me that (for 20 years) she had used Murphy's Oil Soap, folllowing instructions on the bottle. When scrubbing with different cleaners didn't remove the film, I used a putty knife and furniture stripper. In my current home, I had new solid wood maple cabinets installed. Because of the gunk on the cabinets in the rental house, I didn't want to use Murphy's Oil Soap. Instead, I've just been wiping them down with a damp cloth. Now they need a deep cleaning. I'm wary of using Murphy's Oil Soap. How can I be sure it won't add a sticky film to my cabinets? Also, where did you buy the drill brush? Thanks.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Hi Bobbie, Here is the paid link to the Drill Brush Set amzn.to/39E8kDa and as for the Murphy Oil Soap - it is an oil soap - so it shouldn't cause any sticky residue but break down the sticky residue. I wonder if that is what caused her sticky cupboards or that she didn't use enough of it to remove the sticky. If your cabinets are REALLY bad sticky and gunky - you can use mineral oil (they use this kind on cutting boards amzn.to/3M0LWCp) and a cellulose sponge with no scrubbie. (they look like this amzn.to/37XVf7n but can be found at the dollar store.) Pour a bit of mineral oil in a saucer and dip your damp but squeezed out sponge in the mineral oil and wipe it over the icky sticky gunky cupboard fronts. The oil will remove the sticky stuff and you can wipe it off with a cloth. I will make you a video to show what I mean. It's a simple process but works wonders when the other method fails.

Murphy's oil soap is citronella oil and chamomile. The oils in the soap change the "tone" of the scent. When it had lanolin the scent was a bit differen, but it worked better.

[@dj912sent9]

Do we use the same for painted cabinets?

Hi Angela. My name is Willette. I have the icky-sticky-greasy-gunk on my cabinets in the kitchen. My bathroom is a small clean up area. I also have the brushes, the Murphy's Oil Soap cleaner still in the box from Amazon... It sounds like I'm in a 12 step program. I'm not, but I should be. Thanks for this. I watched this a few months back and ordered the products. Now, I need to charge my drill battery and "Git Her Done"... 👍✅ I love your channel. I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous 🆕 Year!!! (Dec. 2021).

Hi Willette, Thank you so much for watching the show. I can’t wait to hear how the cleaning project went with the drill brush and Murphy Oil Soap.

[@geraldinelombardo7434]

I love Murphy’s Oil Soap. I love it to clean out drawers, spot clean walls, cabinets, walls, doors and the list goes on. Been using it for over 50 years. Didn’t live far from their plant in Medina Ohio. But, I’m sorry, Murphy’s is NOT a grease cutter. I’m sure it would eventually clean the icky, but that’s a lot of scrubbing! If cabinets are that bad, it’s time to bing our ammonia! Boom, you’re done with one wipe. Then go over with Murphy’s for that great fragrance and shine.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thank you so much for sharing this!! 🤗

[@Sue-bx4co]

My cupboards are very old. I tried Murphy's which left them sticky. So I sprayed Windex with ammonia on them, used a non scratching sponge, went over with damp Terry type towel and dried with another towel. Took off loads of dirt. I don't know if this would wreck finish on newer cupboards. How do you do yours?

Just did my kitchen cabinets with drill and brush, hard on your back and hands holding the drill, but sure looks nice, thanks Angela, I’m telling a lot of people about your videos…

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thanks, Loraine for the shoutout and for the feedback. The drill should not be tough on your back or hands. Are you using a corded drill or a cordless? I tried the cordless with the big battery pack and found it was too heavy and did cause fatigue when using the drill for over-the-head cabinets or in the shower. The corded one is much lighter weight and perfect for my size. I'm wondering if that might be the issue you ran into? 🤗

[@claudialarsson7439]

You’re so so thorough! Thank you. I’m not a professional but like to learn the correct way. Wondering what you suggest for old, laminate cabinets. Cannot afford to replace. Thanks.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Is the laminate sealed? If so you can use this or another degreaser. Read the label first to make sure it's safe and then test in an inconspicuous place to make sure it doesn't dissolve the finish while taking off any grease.

[@claudialarsson7439]

@@AskAngelaBrown thank you. They are worn so laminate is quite faded. I’m thinking of painting them

[@ThaCMaree]

Thank you so much for sharing this useful information on cleaning cabinets. My question is what if the shiny gloss/finish is worn by the pulls and knobs (roughly a 3x2 inch area)? Can I still use Murphy's soap? If not, what do you recommend?

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Would you say that area is not finished/sealed? If the wood is unsealed, excess water can stain or warp it. I would contact the manufacturer to get recommendations on how to clean and maintain the wood. Good luck and keep me posted on how it goes. 🤗
