I have a small confession. It’s kind of embarrassing. We have owned our house for almost five years, and I just cleaned the kitchen cabinets for the first time this past weekend. There, I said it. I feel better already. I have no defense, except that it always fell low on the priority list.
The cabinets are cherry and I wanted to make sure I cleaned them properly. I researched online and almost everything I read said to clean them with Murphy’s Soap Oil. I’m glad I researched it, because I was thinking about cleaning them with a vinegar, soap and water mix, which was not recommended.
I bought the Murphy’s Soap Oil Spray and a micro fiber cleaning cloth. I followed the directions and sprayed the oil onto the soft cloth and wiped the cabinets with it. It was so easy and worked so well that I wanted to mention it here.
I was impressed with how easy the dirt and grime wiped right off the cabinets. Maybe I won’t wait so long to clean them again. Maybe.
This is not a sponsored post. I was just truly amazed at how well it worked.

I love Murphy’s soap on wood and have used it for years on my hardwood floors as well. I love how it smells so clean! You cupboards are beautiful.

Years ago, my sister and I cleaned and painted the old house our parents were moving into at retirement. Our paternal grandfather (and an uncle who lived there for a while) were both smokers. We used Murphy Oil Soap on the varnished woodwork. I won’t describe how awful the water looked while scrubbing, but the woodwork was gorgeous when we finished.

It’s kind of weird but my comments never seem to show up on your blog! Not sure what I do wrong but I do read & enjoy your posts.

I like this soap a lot, and even use it for oil based stains in the laundry
