Amazing Whip-it Cleaner

Question from joan

My daughter just purchased The Amazing Whip-It cleaner and wanted to know if it was safe to use. It claims to be "natural". 

Debra's Answer

All I can do is evaluate the information they give, I don't have any inside information other than what is presented.

I looked at their MSDS sheet, which would list the hazardous ingredients it contains that are required to be reported by law (if any) and there were none.

I called the company and they told me that it is 100% natural, the ingredients being eucalyptus oil, citrus oil, coconut oil, corn and salt, so yes, it IS natural and biodegradable. My only reservation about this for some of you is that I know some people are sensitive to eucalyptus oil and some sensitive to corn, so I wouldn't recommend it if that's you.

It's an all-purpose cleaner that targets tough stains on clothing, carpet, vinyl, and hard surfaces as well as for use in automotive, marine, restaurants, offices & much more.

Updated 2020: The Safety Data Sheet states that it does not have any ingredients that are known carcinogens nor any ingredients on the California Proposition 65 list. However, it includes very little disclosure of its ingredients. I choose to avoid products that are not transparent about their ingredients.
