Last year North American consumers used 83,000 tons of disposable wipes? This amount would fill 9,000 tractor-trailer units stretching out more that 62 miles!

54,000 tons of cleaning chemicals are dumped down the drain every year causing toxicological effects on our water systems and air quality due to the chemicals !

Norwex Microfiber removes 99.9% of bacteria and comes with a two-year warranty and a 60-day money back guarantee.

Norwex is licensed with Canada Health; committed to providing high quality environmentally safe products.

Laboratory tests have concluded that Norwex Microfiber Envirocloths (w/ water) will remove more bacteria than household bleach, after washing the cloth 300 times they are still effective at removing 99% of dirt and bacteria.  (source: University of Arizona case study)

Norwex Enviro Products (also known as Eidsvoll Miljo Produkter) has maintained 60% of the microfiber market in Europe for the past 7 years. Largely used in commercial applications such as hospitals, schools etc.

Norwex Microfiber has replaced chemical use in Winnipeg School Division #1, various locations in University of Manitoba in addition to other commercial applications.

The British Medical Association quotes “cleaning product fumes make children 4 times more likely to develop asthma”.

A study conducted on cleaning with micro fiber by Michael Archibald of the Royal Roads University, in Victoria, British Columbia concluded, “This system is simple, efficient, and effective, and represents the next generation in cleaning systems. Lastly, this system is as effective as cleaning with chemicals.”

The "California Department of Fish and Game" tested the toxicity of common chemicals found in waterways. Two of the most toxic substances present in the water were: Household Bleach and All-purpose Cleaner.

The toxic chemicals in household cleaners are three times more likely to cause cancer than air pollution.- Environmental Protection Agency, 1985.

Women who work at home have a 54% higher death rate from cancer than those who work away from home. The 15-year study concluded it was a direct result of the much higher exposure rate to toxic chemicals in common household products.

"Chemicals have replaced bacteria as the main threat to health. The diseases we are beginning to see as the major causes of death in the latter part of (the 1900's) and into the 21st century are diseases of chemical origin." Dr. Dick Irwin, Toxicologist, Texas A&M University
