NEVER use oil on a polyurethane floor.  Horrible advice.

[thealaa16]

did anyone else notice the woman filming's reflection in the door? : /

Hilarious ha ha ha I can see the streaks. You're putting vegetable oil on your nice floor

So you wouldn't install hardwood floors in a bathroom but you just applied enough water on your floor to ruin them over time. I even had a woman spray pledge on her hardwood floors. You know everyone likes hardwood floors but hates to take the proper time to care for them.

You might as well save yourself the continued labor and just clean your floor with acid. That way, when you have to pay to have your floors fixed, you won't beat yourself up over all of the WASTED time cleaning with this TERRIBLE method.

NO hardwood manufacturer recommends this! Not one! This is a tried-and-true method to dulling/damaging your finish, raising the wood grain, and building up residue.

ya this is all wrong . never use that crap and if you do call me and i will be glad to resand them ! bad bad advice but thats ok I need the work ! LOL

[Steelaworkn]

You know, there are so many new styles of cleaning. Why do it this way. Every reputable flooring company sells floor wiping and never recommend sponge mopping.

[MiFFiL]

Well this is all wrong

[wtfugggh]

Terrible advice. Please don't use Murphy's or any oil-based cleaner on a polyurethane-coated wood floor. Contact the floor manufacturer for guidance. eHow, you need to have some way of moderating the advice that's being given under your name.

[gcarolino]

Even the Murphy's Oil bottle tells you to mop with the grain....

[sandman310]

Go ahead and put in some vinegar while you are at it. Give me a call in a year or so and I will come in and resand your floors.

[crazynewf1973]

Sadly ppl will watch this and believe it to be good advice.

This is not the way to clean a poly urethaned hardwood floor......You will have adhesion problems when you try to recoat that floor...Murphy's Oil Soap is about the worst thing you can use

[frankiepdx]

You do not want to use Murphy's oil on a recently finished floor. Cuo of vinegar to a gallon of water. Spray a microfiber mop with the mixture and lift the dust off. If you want it shinier, choose a semi- gloss. Oil based soaps will make the finish more difficult to recoat when you hire the floor finishers back.

I wouldn't recommend using oil soap on that floor. The ONLY thing you should be using is plain water or water mixed with alcohol. Then you must dry it by hand, do not ever leave a wood floor damp.  The oil soap will leave a residue that will build up over time causing dirt to stick to the floor until you eventually will have to strip the floor and refinish it.
