Murphy's Oil Soap - Awesome!

Hey All,

A while back I read some of you wash your campers with Murphy's oil soap and decided to give it a try. WOW! Worked so much better than the basic car wash soaps I've tried in the past. Came back from a 2 week trip and our camper was plastered with all kinds of crud, this stuff cut right through it.

Thanks!

    If you go to the Murphy’s site, they have a statement that it contains NO oil.


    The MSDS states the only "regulated" ingredient > 1 percent is Sodium Hydroxide.

    When I was a kid, my mom bought it in a big glass jar and it was like amber rubber. We use it today for just about everything. I'll have to try it for a car / RV wash.

    I had no idea Murphy's could be used for RVs. I use it on my wooden furniture inside my stick house because it is very gentle. I guess it is stronger than it seems!

    I once asked a sales clerk why this stuff costs so much per quart. He said, "Do you know how many Murphys we have to squeeze to get a quart?" ;)

    I use it on my roof, and DW says it removes fingerprints from stainless steel appliances.
