Murphy's Oil Soap

[Rossie]

Hi guys,

Just to be sure which Murphy's Oil Soap to get...

Murphy Oil Soap ? Murphy's Original Formula, Squirt & Mop, Spray and Wipes for all your wood care needs!

I should get the original (first from the left) right?

And dilute it with water at the ratio of 1:3?

Thanks!

Murphy's Oil Soap and follow instructions. Be sure your neck or fretboard is unsealed (bare) wood, otherwise it will just sit there!!

 

[Rossie]

Thanks for the advice!

But I'm asking which version of the oil soap to get from the link...
Coz it seems like they are somewhat different from each other...

 

[Craiguitar]

Somebody please tell me where I can get some of this stuff in the UK

One of the guys over at EB told me I could just use the Wonder Wipes (fretboard conditioner) on the entire neck instead of Murphy's Oil Soap.

Is this not correct?

concerning MUrphy's oil soap- Use the original , you're supposed to dilute it. Those Murphy's wipes look like they might work too...

Spud has a bottle in the UK... (shhhhhh))

Hendog, for routine cleaning, the Wonder Wipes are great.

If your neck/fretboard is REALY dirty, then the Murphys is what you would use.

Btw,Murphy oil soap is available at all homefix store, my friend..

 

[Craiguitar]

Oh, I beg to differ.....

 

[lenny]

I know. That's why I said it.

And i just wanted him to feel better knowing 2 Canadians are using it!! hehhe

 

[Oh3AreSicks]

I use it too when the fretboard gets dirty.

 

[Rossie]

Alright guys! Thanks alot!

Here is the "official line" from the Colgate-Palmolive group regarding Murphy oil soap:


"Our Company has subsidiaries worldwide that manufacture and sell a wide variety
of products to meet the specific needs of consumers in diverse locations. We
regret to inform you that this product is not available in the UK."

So, in summary, the bad news is, it's not available.
The good news is, they regret it.

 

[lenny]

I wonder why not in the UK?....

It doesn't need to be Murphy's, if you consult anyone in the timber trade you'll find that there are quite a few products with the same formula as murphy's that do exactly the same thing:

here's 2 of them widely available in UK

Woca Soap - Natural and White triptrap wood floor cleaner
Volvox Wood & Floor Soap

 

[Oh3AreSicks]

I could box one up and send it over. haha

Good info, thanks. I'd already assumed there must be some alternative product / brand for the same purpose which is on general sale in Europe.
