Who let the dogs out?

I love this photo! Do you know how many times your kids touch your glass doors & windows? What about when your child occasionally “licks” the glass door while pressing their face & hands against the glass?

My dogs love to press their noses against the glass, which leaves their "nose prints" behind.  It doesn't matter if my dogs are inside or outside, they can make a mess of my glass doors.  I am cleaning my glass several times, but I do it the easy way! 

Using toxic cleaning products on the windows or glass is not preferred for obvious reasons!  What cleaning products are your children or pets ingesting during the course of the day? How long does your cleaning product have to remain on the surface before your surfaces are clean?

It wasn’t until I began to thoroughly read the product instructions on my disinfecting wipes -- the product had to remain "wet” for 4 minutes to clean the surface.  WOW!! Although the smell of “clean” was in the air, it took a while! I was still using a chemical that I didn't want my kids or pets to ingest.  I tried “green” cleaners, but I was not impressed with their ability to clean nor with the number of disposable paper towels that were required to wipe the cleaner from my surfaces.

With Norwex there are no chemicals necessary! Just use water! So easy to use that you can do it several times a day! If your window or glass is dirty, use the Norwex Antibac Enviro Cloth with water and follow with the Norwex Antibac Window Cloth for a streak-free shine.  These products are also available in a Basic Package.  A great way start using Norwex and experience how easy it is to use!  Start saving time & money!

Don’t put your pets or children at risk of being exposed to toxic chemicals; use something that you can trust. With kids helping & learning to clean using Norwex & water, you will be spending more time enjoying your kids & pets this summer.

When it comes to Spring Cleaning – Less is More!

As Spring has arrived, my thoughts have turned to Spring cleaning.

Have you heard the term “Less is more”? As I began my spring cleaning, I was focused on getting rid of the dust & dirt left behind from the winter months. Using Norwex gives my home a smell of clean. Only using water to make my home clean truly gives me a sense of “less is more”. I don’t have to leave toxic cleaning products on my windows, counters, furniture or floors. As I do dishes & laundry, I realized that I only use 1 teaspoon of detergent – Now that is less than any product! Even the air freshener I use is so concentrated that it has taken me a year to use it up! Compare that to other laundry detergents, dishwasher detergents & air fresheners. The smell of clean smells like nothing and using so little product saves me time & money!

I had a customer that was having difficulty with her kitchen tile & grout. The heavy traffic areas had turned the grout lines dark and left her floor looking dirty. She had tried every non-toxic cleaner from a bleach water solution, ammonia water solution, and vinegar & water spray. Finally, she tried floor & grout cleaners, but nothing ever worked. She had decided that she would have to replace the grout or try to paint it.

I told my customer to try the Norwex Cleaning Paste, an old toothbrush, and water! Well… see for yourself. These are the before & after photos my customer took of her tile and grout.

You can see that the grout line that has been cleaned has returned to its original color. She is thrilled that Norwex has once again proven that it can clean & renew surfaces.

Norwex will save you time, money, improve your family’s health and protect the environment. I have had many customers tell me that their family has been so much healthier using Norwex products.  Why smell all those chemicals when going down the store aisles? Imagine how much better you can feel and how much more time you can spend with your family, just changing cleaning products.

Spring is the best time to evaluate how you are cleaning your home and what you can do to help the environment by using eco-friendly products. Make this year the year that you become more eco-friendly.

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
