Does Norwex Really Work?

I had never heard of Norwex before last year.  My kids called to tell me about an amazing product that would allow me to clean my house using just water and Norwex Microfiber removing 99.9% of the bacteria from surfaces.  No more chemical cleaners and paper towel.  I thought... how is that possible?  Is this a gimmick?

My niece, who was going through Stage IV Breast Cancer, had become seriously ill and unable to breathe without the use of oxygen.  Her daughter had cleaned my niece's house using the household chemical cleaning products she had always used.  When I went to see my niece, she told me she had to go outside while her daughter cleaned her house.  At this point, I thought maybe there is something to Norwex.  Cleaning with just water could certainly help those with breathing difficulties.

My daughter-in-law sent me a Norwex Enviro Cloth to use.  I immediately used it on my granite.  My granite had never looked the way I expected it to look.  It was not shiny.  Shortly after we moved into our house, I requested the granite installers to take a look at my granite and they had told me that it was the stone, it would not look shiny. Maybe a glass cleaner, household chemicals, and sealer would help to improve the look of the granite, after all that is what they used.

When I realized that once the Enviro Cloth removed all the chemical residue from my granite, my granite was streak-free and shiny!  I was sold!  I couldn't wait to try the other Norwex products.

I returned to my niece's house with my Enviro Cloth to clean her house.  This time, she was able to stay in the house while I cleaned.

My story is one that I have heard over and over.  Families with children that have allergies and asthma, can not handle the chemical smells and household cleaners.  Each breath they take becomes harder for them when the household cleaners that we use today contain toxic chemicals.

I became a Norwex consultant because I believe in the products!  Each product that I use, I am amazed at how much cleaner my house stays and how much better it looks.  I have certainly found that I am saving time and money!  In today's economy that is important!

Since using Norwex, I don't have to shop the household cleaners and detergent isle, which is great for me!  When I have customers that say they like the smell of "clean", I can't help but think about my niece that was so thankful to get her house cleaned without using chemicals and just using water. 

My goal is to help those with chemical sensitivities understand that there is another way to clean.  Norwex works!  It is not a gimmick and there are scientific studies to back up the products.  It is my goal to continue to share the news of Norwex and help other families become healthier and breathe better!

What does CLEAN smell like to you?

True cleanliness does not smell, as there is nothing left behind. --

My storm door window shattered a couple of weeks ago, when a rock flew through it.  Today, the window company came and replaced the glass.  I was so thankful, I didn't realize how challenging it was not to have my storm door nor did I realize how much heat was removed from the house by the storm door.

When the the guys had completed the installation, they went about cleaning the glass. Usually this is left for the customer, right?  Well, they indeed cleaned the glass with a glass cleaner.  I couldn't stop them fast enough!  The chemical smell was so strong that I couldn't breathe.  I had forgotten how great it is to have NO SMELL!  

Our sense of smell is connected to our memory. Have you ever had a smell remind you of a childhood memory or a memory of your past? The smell of popcorn can remind you of being at the movies with a friend. It is the only sense that will automatically invoke a reaction or memory. 

Many people clean surfaces using a chemical that makes the area smell “clean” or smell like another surface with residuals of a fragrance on it, as opposed to actually removing contaminants. 

I have heard customers say that they wanted the "smell" to know that something was clean.  I can remember that smell, but I have long since forgotten it!  It took me about two weeks to realize that I no longer wanted that "clean" smell.  Not having that smell -- I have all but eliminated my family's allergies and asthma symptoms.  That is a great feeling!!  And knowing that I am doing something for the environment makes me have a sense of accomplishment. 

It will take most people a while to accept this using Norwex. Their sense of smell will remind them they are no longer cleaning with a strong chemical, if they are using the Norwex Antibacterial Microfiber Enviro Cloth and water because there is no smell. 

My husband quickly got our Norwex Window Cloth and the spray bottle of water and proceeded to clean the glass. The chemical had left streaks all over the window, but now they are streak-free and shiny! 

The fresh air may smell if it contains odor particles, so you will want to use natural fragrances in those areas to provide that “fresh scent”.  Using the Norwex Odour Eliminator will allow you to eliminate organic odors instantly, safely and without toxic chemicals. It is highly concentrated and leaves no residue. Use the Odour Eliminator for bathrooms, cooking smells, litter boxes, garbage disposals, and diaper pails. Use it as a room deodorizer or use one cap full with a load of laundry to remove smells from clothing. 

It is my goal that clean will smell like nothing. What will CLEAN smell like to you?
