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!

Thrilled to see this product back!! Not for kitchens (tho’ it was great for that) but it cleans doll bodies!!
Joan says
I have a couple of spray can’s I’ve used for years in my bathrooms. It keeps the faucet and sinks shiny. We need Jubilee in the spray cans. I’m running out.
Nancy Mette says
I found an old spray can of Jubilee that got buried when we moved several years ago! It still works great and I love it. I have tried every polish, cleaner there is, but nothing works as good as Jubilee Wax. I am going to check ACE Hardware in Jax FL to see if they have any. Not really wild about ordering things on line anymore than I have to.
THANK YOU for bring Jubilee back…it is my favorite household cleaner.

I loved Jubilee and have been looking for it. I always used it on the tile walls around the tub and shower. I’m hoping I can still do that but will also use it in the kitchen now.
Anna says
Wow! I don’t know why this cleaner/wax popped into my head today, but it did so I Googled to see if it was even made anymore. My mom used to have me clean the fridge and stove with Jubilee all the time. Funny thing is, even though I hated the “chore” itself (I was around 9 or 10 at the time), I liked the smell of the cleaner. I hope I can find some around where I live (Bloomington, IL). I would love to have it to clean all my appliances now. Thanks for the info!
Carol says
Looked forever for Jubilee, a staple in my mother’s house! I agree the spray was more convenient, but at least it’s back. (Maybe I’ll try sticking a pump sprayer into the bottle.)
I just found it at Midland Hardware’s website for $4.47 a bottle. They stock lots of old-timey favorites and the shipping isn’t too crazy.

I ordered two bottles of Jubilee, along with two bottles of Noxon 7 metal polish and a nice sized box of Spic N Span. Total was $28.66, and they shipped FedEx.
Though I love Noxon, I’m going to try the Weiman’s polish mentioned by another poster.
*Happily stepping into the way-back machine!*

Hi, Carol, I have used Weiman’s for some time and have yet to be disappointed. Like one other commenter said, it makes things gleam, not just shine. That is one thing I like about it.

Joan says
I still use Jubilee in my bathrooms and kitchen. But I like the spray can (or bottle) better.
Janice says
I used this product for my white / flecked with gold Formica counters for years. I didn’t have to worry about blueberries, I would reapply a little on a rag and it came out spotless.
Pat says
We used Jubilee in our kitchen when I was a little girl and my mom and I loved it. Great cleaner, and made our appliances and counters look so nice. Loved the smell, too. It also made things clean up so easily for quite awhile after cleaning with it. Spills and marks wiped up much easier. So glad to hear it is available again. Now to find out where I can get it. Thanks for bringing it back. When I grew up and got married I used it in my home, too.

Ace Hardware stocks it in its warehouses but doesn’t necessarily have it on the store shelves unless requested from customers due to space limitations. I contacted my local franchise owner from the website and did so. They will sell them both individually and by the case. The individual unit price is exactly 1/12 of the bulk price–around $6.00 if memory serves.
