Jubilee kitchen wax — is back. I received the news this morning. (Doesn’t this bottle look so pretty at the top of our homepage?) Here’s the scoop, so far:
The consumer sales representative for Malco, Products, Inc. wrote me:
We just licensed Jubilee® Kitchen Wax from SC Johnson and have it available on our website. I was hoping that you might be able to write about the product relaunch so consumers know they can find it now.
Update 2018, I see it’s now on Amazon, click here (note, links to Amazon may earn me a commission if you buy anything):
Jubilee is an easy-to-use liquid furniture wax made especially for protecting while cleaning appliances, Formica laminated plastic, ceramic tile, enamel and wood.Jubilee cannot scratch, never dulls, is stain resistant and puts down a tough, hard shine that protects surfaces while making spills easier to wipe clean. Jubilee removes: grease spots, soot, lipstick, food stains, crayon, fingerprints and yellow cooking films.
I asked the Malco rep right away, “Is it the same formulation as in the way-back-time-machine days?” She quickly replied:
As far as the formula goes, it is the original formula but we did have to change one raw material that was no longer available and made the product VOC complaint. We also re launched the product Grease Relief last year just FYI! It is available on our website, Amazon and other online stores.
And look closely at the label in the lead photo on this story: “Fatal if swallowed.” READERS, NOTE!

Paula says
Can Jubilee be used safely on the painted surface of an automobile? I would love to use it to remove bugs from the front end of my car.
pam kueber says
Paula, you need to connect with Jubilee and ask this question…
Mark says
The Jubilee label indicates it is for painted wood, so I’d imagine that painted metal would be OK. Haven’t bought it in a while, but there is (was?) a product called “bug and tar remover” for car finishes, which I remember being pretty strong stuff, stronger than Jubilee.
Still, it might be a good idea to ask Malcoware (current manufacturer for Jubilee) to check. Here’s a link. Let me know how you make out, I may need to do the same thing myself.
Speaking of car surfaces, I used Jubilee on the vinyl top for my Imperial, and it got rid of the haziness, and brought out the lustre. It’s less harsh than Armor-All too.

Yup: Ask Malco! Thanks for sharing your experience, Mark!

I love i! I was so disappointed when they stopped making this product and could never figure out why they stopped. It is wonderful. I used it on all my appliances and you never saw fingerprints on any appliance. Great for counter tops. They look so clean. I have been looking for Jubilee for a ver long time. What I used though was in a spray can. It would be so nice if they would put in a spray bottle; but I am happy the way it is. This is the best for cleaning up your kitchen. So glad I finally found it. Thank you for returning this product to the consumer.

I am so glad it is back. I loved using it. All of my friends commented on the way my tiles shined in my tub area.
Susanne Reeves says
little girl my mother had me polish black tile in the shower every Saturday Then it was polish all the living room tables coffee table hutches an paneled walls. And true it did make everything shine. When I would take a shower afterwards the water would bubble up on the the black tile. That was in 1960 I was 11 years old. I live in the house now helping to take care of my 89 year old mother and I am 66yrs and the tile in the bathroom is the same and looks just as good today as it did back then. I believe it because of Jubilee Kitchen Wax. Susanne (Meyer) Reeves of Oroville,CA.

Gloria says
PLEASE make this in a spray again as you did back in my Mom’s day as she loved the spray but has used the liquid since we can’t get the spray anymore. We have been loyal Jubilee users for many years (she’s 82) my Grandmother used it, my mother uses it and I use it too !!! PLEASE make the SPRAY again it’s just as good even better if that’s possible.
Forever A Faithful Customer
