Norwex Makes Cents


Look at what you could be saving using Norwex Eco-Friendly Products!  Norwex will save you time & money. 

Save money by reducing the use of chemicals and cleaning supplies up to 90%.  The average household spends $450 - $600 a year on these items.  Here is a cost evaluation of what you could save over a 2-year time period using Norwex.  I have heard customers say that Norwex is "just too expensive".  While this may appear to be true, you have to look at what you are saving over time.  Yes, you will pay a little more when you "go green", but you have to look at the benefits to your family and the environment.  

I used other "green" products, before discovering Norwex, that may have cost the same as other cleaning products, but I still used paper towels or other disposable products to clean.  Not with the same result as using Norwex.  Norwex provides a satisfaction that my counter tops are 99.9% bacteria free, just using water! 

This cost evaluation does not include all the paper towels and other disposable products that you may use with other cleaning products.  My family has almost eliminated the need for paper towels.

Spring Cleaning was so much easier with Norwex.  Norwex has taken the chore out of cleaning by saving us time.  Knowing that everyone can use Norwex makes cleaning so much easier and safer.  Cutting my cleaning time by 75% has provided me the time to pursue other activities and hobbies.  In today's busy world, decreasing your cleaning time can eliminate a lot of stress.

Spending more time with those that are important in your life -- that is truly important!

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.

On a mission to find the perfect mop?

Here are the things you should look for in a mop to make your life easier:


• mop pads are microfiber (contains static electricity to hold dirt)

• mop pads stick to the base easily and keep sticking over time

• mop pads allow for quick and easy for dusting and shining my floors

• mop pads pick up dust bunnies, crumbs, pet and people hair

• mop is easy to manipulate

• easy to clean mop pads

• mop base stays where you put it - doesn't "flip"

• mop handle telescopes in and out for different mopping jobs

The Norwex Superior mop package comes with the aluminum, lightweight telescoping handle (36" to 63"), a mop base and two microfiber mop pads - a yellow dry pad and a blue antibac wet pad. If you are going to purchase a mop package, I would go with a Superior package, large or small.

Whether you get this mop in the small (13") or large size (20"), the mop pads stick to the base extremely well because of the way they attach with heavy velcro strips - a very secure way of fastening. There is even rubber edging on the base to protect walls.

The Norwex dry pad picks up tons of stuff off the floor that you wouldn't even know was there, and it's great at gathering up dust, pet hair and other "floor yuck" - but it doesn't pick up larger items, those still need to be picked up the old fashioned way - manually!

Ease of use: The Norwex Superior wet mop pad is easy to use if you follow the directions. You're supposed to move the mop over your floor in a Figure-8 pattern. If you do this, it moves easily. If you just scrub the mop back and forth, the "grab" in the microfiber can make the mop hard to move because it feels like it's sticking to your floor, and the base can "flip", as happens with other similarly-constructed mop bases.

What's great about the base of this mop is that it has a handy-dandy little flip-down locking mechanism that you lock and unlock with a mere push. If you don't lock it, the base swivels in every direction - handy for getting under your furniture. If you flip the locker down, the base doesn't swivel anymore, making it great for cleaning walls and shower stalls. You can even buy a mop brackets that snap onto your mop base which allows you to hook on an antibac cloth or window cloth.

The Norwex mop system works extremely well on linoleum, tile, hardwood and even laminate flooring - although with any unsealed flooring you need to be extra careful to get all the water up off the surface of the floor. It also makes cleaning large bath stalls, showers, walls and windows a lot easier.

To take care of your microfiber mop pads: Shake the dry pad outside after sweeping, or brush with the Norwex Rubber Static Brush, and re-use to sweep some more!

When the pads need to be cleaned, they can be washed and dried in your machines using any laundry soap although we do recommend the Norwex Ultra Power Plus detergent, not only because it is highly concentrated wand more cost effective, but also because it is more environmentally friendly. Dry your wet and dry mop pads with low-lint items (eg sheets), because the microfiber will grab lint off other things in your dryer if it gets a chance!

Do Not use fabric softener or bleach. Bleach degrades the microfiber, and fabric softener coats the fibers and wrecks their grabbing power.

(Norwex dryer balls let you dry your laundry faster and without static - no fabric softener required!).

Is the Norwex mop worth the price? Most definitely! It's an extremely high-end mop, and it will last for years and years. The cost of $107.99 (for a large) or $87.99 (for a mini) is comparable to the first year's cost to keep stocked in Swiffer floor-dusting and Wet Jet equipment. After the first year, the Norwex mop system doesn't cost you a dime, and you're not throwing Swiffer pads and empty Wet Jet solution containers in the trash to clutter up our landfill space.

Guarantee: The mop pads (and all Norwex microfiber) comes with an unconditional 60 day satisfaction guarantee, and a 2 year performance warranty.
