How do I remove diluted murphys oil soap from carpet?
Simple steam or hot water cleaning will remove it. Murphy’s Oil Soap is completely water soluble; you don’t need to worry about using special chemicals or processes to clean it up. Fill a carpet shampooer with plain hot water, and go over the spot until there are no longer any suds or slickness. That’s all there is to it.
Any kind of oil or oil based product that gets on your carpet must be removed with a solvent based cleaner. I dont think that you can buy anything like this at the store, but most professional carpet cleaners could probably get this out no prob. Depending on where the spot is, and how big you may want to consider hiring a professional, otherwise you might make the problem worse. The minimum charge for most carpet cleaning companies is around $90 – $100. But make sure you call a company that uses the hot-water extraction method. Good Luck!
