Here is a summary of the article "Unexpected Uses for Murphy Oil Soap Around The Home" from The Simplify Daily:

While Murphy Oil Soap is traditionally known for cleaning wood furniture and floors, its gentle, plant-based formula makes it useful for several other household cleaning tasks. The article outlines six unexpected ways to use it:

1. Revive Greasy Kitchen Cabinets: Cut through built-up grease and dust near the stove by mixing ¼ cup of Murphy Oil Soap with a gallon of warm water, then wiping down the surfaces.
2. Shine Up Leather Furniture: Clean and condition leather couches, chairs, or handbags without leaving a greasy residue by wiping them down with a few drops of the soap mixed with warm water on a soft cloth.
3. Gently Clean Painted Walls: Remove fingerprints and smudges in high-traffic areas by using a diluted solution (about ½ cup per gallon of water) with a soft sponge or microfiber cloth.
4. Polish Stainless Steel Appliances: Wipe down refrigerators, dishwashers, and ovens with a few drops of the soap in warm water to remove smudges and leave a streak-free shine.
5. Restore Dirty Paintbrushes: Soak hardened or dirty paintbrushes in a mixture of Murphy Oil Soap and warm water for 24 to 48 hours to loosen old paint and soften the bristles.
6. Spot Clean Area Rugs: Treat stubborn stains on area rugs or carpets by lightly misting a mixture of a few drops of soap and warm water from a spray bottle, then blotting with a clean cloth.
