Is Murphy's oil safe to use
1767825
(1) Personally, I would NOT dispense anything oil-based. The fluid mechanism in the FloorMate is designed for mild-to-medium detergent. The output "plumbing" can become irreparably clogged or otherwise damaged. (2) The suction "plumbing" may be somewhat more forgiving. If you apply a thin coat of oil-based liquid by some other method such as sponge mop, and then use the FloorMate with its detergent mix to flush and suction up very dilute Murphy's, it would be more safe (in my lay opinion). I have used our FloorMate to suction up several types of spills through the years, and no damage to the equipment has occurred. But none of those spills have been oil-based. Wishing you the best...

I wouldn't chance it. You're supposed to use non-sudsing products designed for tile, ceramic or vinyl flooring, per the manufacturer. I use Armstrong "Once and Done", which works well and smells nice.

We do not recommend using any oil that is not designed as a lubricant. The best type that will not damage any novelties is anything water based. Thank you for shopping with us! ~Giggles World

I am an industrial chemist at a petroleum manufacturing facility. The petroleum distillates, if still in the sealed bottle, will not lose effect, purity, or stability over the course of a decade. Use away!

Not true. But best to wait until the oil cools down somewhat, otherwise you risk getting hot oil onto your hands.

The brand of horticultural oil that I use is Bonide. They generally have the safest or most organic products.

I've only used it every other day for a couple months, but so far no problems with a variety of oils- some mixes, including "sweet orange" essential oil. It's basically just a little plastic well with a metal plate at the bottom, so I can't imagine there would be any problems.

For any concern regarding these kinds of products consult the Safety Data Sheet (used to be called MSDS). Google "linseed oil MSDS". I see this product is listed as "Not classified as hazardous for health or environment". I've used this as a wood finishing product for years, often with bare hands. It is recommended that you have good ventilation. I do not have the label in front of me but my guess is that it says something like "known to cause cancer in the State of California"... and every product known to man probably fits in this category.

Here's a follow-up to my previous answer. I located my tube and checked the label. It states that the grease is authorized by the USDA & rated H1. This means it can be used in food-processing environments where there is the possibility of incidental food contact. THe warning on the label states that it may cause eye and skin irritation.

I really don't know but since it is a natural oil, I would think it would be fine for quite a while. I know oils can get old and smelly.

I use Thieves Essential Oil in mine. I would think that a citrus oil would be fine. Oil is oil.....don't know if that helps.

We use oil blends that have citrus in them and it works totally fine. We've not had any problems!

I have been. I use all of the essential oils in it and haven't had any problems.

I used tablets to sanitize it. If your oil is hot I would say no and even if cold no.

That I am not sure of, but I would recommend diluting it if you are using it as a topical due to strength of oil. I would suggest researching it before using it. that way.

I would assume so. I haven't used esential oils in this way. I make my own "poo-pouri". I do know that it would have to be used sparingly, because full-strength would stain your hands and clothing. I put a few drops on a washcloth and it stained it yellowish-brown. Good luck!

No.There is a ton of info on the net on how to use this oil. It is comparable to Thieves oil, so any info on that oil is transferable to Germ Fighter.
