Ingredients from the label


Directions from Packaging

Floors (Finished Wood, Laminates, No-Wax and Tile):Squirt directly from the bottle onto the floor in a 3' x 3' section. Avoid puddling. Using a well wrung-out mop, clean immediately with even strokes. Move to next section of floor and repeat. Other Surfaces (Finished Wood, Furniture, Cabinets and Paneling): Squirt directly from the bottle onto cloth. Wipe clean to reveal wood's natural beauty! Note: Murphy Oil Soap Wood Floor Cleaner should not be used on unfinished, unsealed or waxed wood surfaces because they may be water sensitive. Before using on an unknown surface, test on an inconspicuous area. Discoloration or dulling indicates the wood may be waxed or needs refinishing. Due to formula differences, do not use Original Murphy Oil Soap liquid or spray as a refill for this product.


Warnings

Warnings: Keep out of reach of children. If product contacts eyes, rinse thoroughly with water.

This product is not certified as a green cleaner.

PETA: Companies That Do Test on Animals

Understanding scores

EWG provides information on cleaning product ingredients from the published scientific literature, to supplement incomplete data available from companies and the government. The ratings indicate the relative level of concern posed by exposure to the ingredients in this product - not the product itself - compared to other product formulations. The ratings reflect potential health hazards but do not account for the level of exposure or individual susceptibility, factors which determine actual health risks, if any.

HOW WE DETERMINE SCORES

Hazard score

The Healthy Cleaning ingredient hazard score, from A to F, reflects known and suspected hazards linked to the ingredients. The EWG VERIFIED® mark means a product meets EWG’s strictest criteria for transparency and health.

Score legend
WEIGHT-OF-EVIDENCE APPROACH

A product’s hazard score is not an average of the ingredients’ hazard scores. It is calculated using a weight-of-evidence approach that factors in all of the hazards or health impacts associated with the ingredients.
