Ingredients from the label


Directions from Packaging

Pull out a disposable wipe. Swipe your wood clean. It's that simple. To Open Package: Open pouch by peeling back seal. Use wipes as directed. Reseal pouch after each use.To Clean: Use a fresh disposable wipe on desired surface. As wipe becomes soiled, refold and use clean side. Let the surface air-dry. Storage/Disposal: Dispose of wipe in trash after use. Do not flush. Reseal pouch between uses to retain moisture. Do not reuse empty container. Discard in trash. Helpful Hints For Use: Start with large wood surfaces first, moving towards smaller surfaces last. Before using on unknown surface, test on an inconspicuous area. Discoloration or flaking indicates the wood may need refinishing. Do not use Murphy Soft Wipe on unfinished wood. Murphy Soft Wipes clean away wax build-up, so if you like, reapply wax after using wipe.

Understanding scores

EWG provides information on cleaning product ingredients from the published scientific literature, to supplement incomplete data available from companies and the government. The ratings indicate the relative level of concern posed by exposure to the ingredients in this product - not the product itself - compared to other product formulations. The ratings reflect potential health hazards but do not account for the level of exposure or individual susceptibility, factors which determine actual health risks, if any.

HOW WE DETERMINE SCORES

Hazard score

The Healthy Cleaning ingredient hazard score, from A to F, reflects known and suspected hazards linked to the ingredients. The EWG VERIFIED® mark means a product meets EWG’s strictest criteria for transparency and health.

Score legend
WEIGHT-OF-EVIDENCE APPROACH

A product’s hazard score is not an average of the ingredients’ hazard scores. It is calculated using a weight-of-evidence approach that factors in all of the hazards or health impacts associated with the ingredients.
