DID YOU KNOW?

Norwex products save you time, money and our environment.

80,000 new chemicals have been created over the last decade and they have not been assessed for human impact.  Bjorn Nicoliasen

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

Change your way of cleaning and improve quality of life for your family?

The Norwex Antibacterial Microfiber offers a safe, fast and cost effective alternative to cleaning with chemicals. You and your family will no longer have to be expose to dangerous toxins that can be found in everyday cleaners with chemicals.

4 Things to Think About....

* Save Money--- By using Norwex, you will dramatically reduce the use chemicals and cleaning supplies up to 90% .  An average household spends $450-$600 a year on household chemicals, paper towels and sponges.  

* Save Time and Effort---It has been proven that you will cut cleaning time by 75% or more.

* Better Health--- With Norwex products you don't breathe, touch or ingest chemicals. While using this product, you will have a cleaner indoor climate.  It is more important that ever to eliminate household chemicals and their adverse effect on allergies and asthma.

* Better Enviornment--- Cleaning with Norwex will help you do your part to preserve the environment for future generations.

Norwex is quickly developing a worldwide reputation for improving quality of life by radically reducing chemicals in cleaning and personal care and for being the world leader in microfiber. These cleaning methods have been proven to dramatically reduce cleaning time and costs while preserving health and environment.

Norwex contains an environmentally friendly antibacterial agent that has passed both FDA and EPA approval.  Unique to Norwex microfiber is a silver agent (patent pending), irreversibly bound to the fiber which kills 99.9% of all bacteria the cloth picks up. Norwex microfiber reduces bacteria by 99.9% in 24 hours with laboratory testing

Since bacteria is 99.9% destroyed over 24 hours within the cloth, the silver agent reduces the risk of cross contamination from surface to surface or to your hands from bacteria growth over time.

Bacteria does not become resistant to silver. There is nothing to become resistant because the Bacteria is removed from the surface before destruction.

SILVER -  not a chemical but metal with antimicrobial/antibacterial properties. Silver has been known as a natural way to kill bacteria. And it's not harmful to humans.

Norwex uses micro-technology, not nanotechnolgy. There are other antibacterial textiles on the market which utilize nanotechnology (other microfiber cloths, shirts, socks etc...) with silver-laced fibers, (usually says good up to 50-100 washings). In these textiles, the silver washes out over time. Many scientists agree that in this way, silver can actually be a bio-hazard to our water systems, as we need a healthy amount of bacteria to support life in our world. The Norwex silver agent cannot be washed out and is permanent so it poses no threat in any way.
