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!

Patti Nearey says
Exactly what I was searching for. MY mo used this for years so when I married in 1960 it was logical that I would too. Used it for years and then WHAM it was gone. So happy to see it back.
Judith Barnett says
I used to use Jubilee in my kitchen all the time back when you could still buy it and loved the product. I am so happy to see it back!
myra says
I grew up in the 60’s so I remember this product well. My Mom used it in our kitchen on all the appliances. I use it as well and love it.
Madelyn says
In the 1960s mama always used jubilee to make the bathroom tub and sink shine. I’m sure we used it in the kitchen, too.
Especially on the refrigerator. I am very happy to see it back on the market! I will definitely use it! Yay retro!!!
Debra says
So can you use jubilee on Formica or Wilsonart punter tops or not and could you use it on stainless steel appliances
pam kueber says
Debra – contact the company directly to get these clarifications.
Elinor Taylor says
I always used Jubilee to shine and clean my kitchen cabinets and counter tops. Also used it in my bathrooms to clean and shine. I am thrilled that it’s available again !! ????
Virginia J. says
I used Jubilee Kitchen Wax in my kitchen and bathrooms many years ago. Nothing compares to how well is cleans and shines your countetops and bathroom fixtures. Sticky dirt doesn’t want to cling to surfaces cleaned with Jubilee, so clean up is easier.
