Malco Products Jubilee Kitchen Wax Reviews Summary

Effectiveness

Pros:

• "Great stuff, works just as I remembered."
• "It cleans and shined my granite countertops and appliances, and the protective shine lasts for weeks."
• "It's the best for wood kitchen cabinets, and Amazon price is better than any catalogo or store."
• "It cleans very well and leaves a nice finish. I applied it about 4 weeks ago and my appliances still have their shine."
• "This kitchen wax is great for formica countertops (we've not yet upgraded to granite in this home), as it prevents staining allowing spills to be simply wiped away."
• "It works beautifully for so many things! It is great for my granite counter tops, faucets and even my bathroom sinks!"
• "Really and truly remove soap scum from shower walls and does clean our appliances properly."

Cons:

• "Bought this product out of nostalgia really. It’s really just a lot of work for nothing."
• "All it did was leave a waxy film behind that showed every fingerprint and smudge."
• "I used this stuff years ago on formica so I know what it should do. This does not do anything that I can see or feel on my 10 year old formica counter."
• "I was hoping to polish my old dull black laminated countertops with this and get some shine. Unfortunately, this product did absolutely nothing, added zero shine, not sure what the point of it is."
• "It works OK but doesn't provide the type of shine I was expecting."
• "I read the reviews before I purchased this. Maybe I am using it incorrectly but I feel like it doesn't do anything that special."
• "Wish I had never bought this product. Don't know why they call it a wax. Wax remover is more like it."

Scent

Pros:

• "It smells like SERIOUS cleaning has gone on in your shiny, gleaming, dirt-slides-off, kitchen."
• "Mild pleasant scent."
• "I also LOVE the smell - yes, they KEPT that smell I love and remember from childhood in the 1960s!!"
• "It still has that lovely smell that it did in the 60's."
• "And I love that old familiar smell."
• "Pleasant smell, not real strong."
• "It has a fresh waxy smell ~ that just smells CLEAN!"

Cons:

• "Smells yukky."
• "The smell is terrible. Very reminiscent of RAID cockroach killer."
• "I didn’t like the smell of this & I didn’t think it was a super awesome cleaner."
• "The new scent doesn't seem to last as long, either."
• "Not good; like petroleum oil."
• "It made the rooms I used it in smell weird and the smell lingered on the cleaning cloths I used even after I washed them​."
• "Unfortunately, my memory had dimmed concerning the smell."

Application & Consistency

Pros:

• "Easy to apply with a cloth or paper towel."
• "Use it on everything! Excellent for furniture, counter tops, bathroom fixtures. Creamy consistency."
• "The liquid is thick and spreads on easily and seems to provide the same shine and easy clean up of dirt and spills off appliance surfaces."
• "It's applied with water so it makes dirty things easy to clean and the luster it leaves is wonderful."
• "It goes on smooth and wipes off the same way."
• "Love it, cleans and polishes at once and leaves the surface clean and shiny."
• "This is easy to use as well, no hard scrubbing or buffing."

Cons:

• "It takes a lot of work to rub it onto the surface such that it doesn't leave streaks or a film."
• "I do not understand the directions -- it says 'pour onto damp cloth. Rub a small area to loosen dirt?' What dirt?"
• "I found the greasier areas require more elbow grease to remove cooking grease buildup."
• "I didn’t like the smell of this & I didn’t think it was a super awesome cleaner."
• "I applied this to my older formica counters. While wet it looked good and I had high hopes. As soon as it dried, it looked no different than before, if not even somewhat worse."
• "Was so excited to find this but sadly it is no longer the same formula as before..why change it."
• "Like other reviews, I have been addicted to the greatness of Jubilee wax way back."

Packaging & Delivery

Pros:

• "I ordered it immediately. It arrived the next day."
• "Buying an individual bottle is pricey, so if you are a fan of Jubilee, you are better off buying a case of it directly from Malco where it comes out to be about $3.75 a bottle."
• "I love how the bottles arrived with plastic around the lids to contain any spills."
• "Del faster then promised, will order again."
• "Was very happy to see it and have the opportunity to buy it here on Amazon!"
• "I am so glad I was able to find this again!"
• "I'm sure I will be ordering more for my parents as well as for myself."

Cons:

• "This product is no longer available in Canada."
• "The only problem with my order was that I had ordered 2 bottles and only received one."
• "The only problem was that the tops of both bottles were loose, and one bottle had leaked into the plastic bag it came in."
• "Product waxes ok. The bottle was dented both sides with solution on front and back."
• "Bottle arrived with lid unscrewed so product leaked on the garibaldi biscuits shipped in same container."
• "Haven’t tried the product yet. Disappointed in being shipped a damaged bottle."
• "The packaging wasn't great as the item arrived partially open and leaked into the box."
