Frequently Asked Questions

Here you will find a number of the more commonly asked questions and answers to those questions

Question:

There has been some controversy about Sodium Lauryl Ether Sufate (SLES) and its use in detergents. Information found on the Internet states that it is harmful, so why is it used in detergents?

Answer:

Proven evidence shows that Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate is not the bad actor it is purported to be. The internet is a useful place to obtain information, but unfortunately it is also a source of misinformation and propaganda. There are several internet stories about SLES that are anecdotal and unsubstantiated. Usually there is a sales pitch for the writer’s product, which of course, does not contain SLES.

A web site worthy of consideration in this regard is http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/household/shampoo.asp 

Being satisfied that all the products VIP makes are efficient and eco-friendly, we are quite confident to say that our products are safe, and until we get proven technical data to the contrary, we will make the best products based on the most current information we have.

Question:

What is the preservative used in VIP liquid detergents?

Answer:

The preservative you are asking about is Potassium Sorbate. It is a safe, food grade preservative.  We also use Sodium Propionate in some of our liquids.

Question:

We are connected to a Septic Sewer system, can I safely use VIP Products for washing and household cleaning?

Answer:

All the surfactants used in VIP cleaning products are readily biodegradable and phosphate free, and when used in the conventional way with normal volume dilution, the septic system is able to biodegrade all of the household effluent.

Question:

I am allergic or sensitive to perfumes and fragrances in most detergents. Is there a scent free product that I can safely use in my washing machine?

Answer:

Yes, VIP makes both liquid and powder laundry products that have no scent or fragrance. Simply ask your retail dealer for details or contact VIP (1-604-820-8665).
