Silver in our Cloths -- What does that mean?

I have received emails, facebook & twitter comments, or people that just don't understand the concept of using Norwex and the embeded silver.  Some believe that Silver is harmful as a chemical.  Others believe that the Silver can be absorbed into the skin.  Many are not familiar with the use of Silver as an antibacterial agent.  While those that work in hospitals or around medical facilities are familiar with silver for burn centers, it is often surprising how many are unsure about using the Norwex Enviro Cloth for use in the home instead of chemicals.   Using just water with the Norwex Enviro Cloth is so simple and saves so much time & money.  Think of all the Window Cleaner and Paper Towels you are using.  I can't tell you the last time I did purchase Paper Towels!

Going "green" is a phrase that everyone wants to use to protect the environment.  But what about your health and the health of your family.  Be willing to give up your chemical cleansers and protect those you care the most about!

I found that just not purchasing any chemical cleansers was so much easier!  I don't even go down the household cleanser isle any more and with that cleanser "smell" I sure don't miss it!  If you have asthma or breathing problems, you know what I mean.

I thought perhaps this was the best clarification for those not familiar with Norwex products or the use of Silver as an antibacterial agent. --

Silver in our cloths- Norwex has figured out how to embed silver in the cloths, which is what Antibac means. Why would you want silver? Silver is a natural antibacterial agent, which means no virus or bacteria can live when it is in contact with silver, it actually suffocates. Norwex microfiber cloths remove 99.9% of the bacteria from surfaces, resulting in a cleaner, healthier environment.

So, Norwex antibac cloths are essentially self-sanitizing. You can clean the dirtiest thing you can imagine and then rinse the cloth, hang it to dry and by the time it is dry, all the trapped bacteria will be dead. Of course, you still launder the cloths to release everything, but the silver does give you piece of mind. 
You may see other microfiber cloths that say they have silver, but what they mean is that their fibers are coated with silver, which will eventually wash away, whereas with the Norwex cloths, they are embedded, so the silver is in there for the life of the cloth.

Norwex uses only micro silver, which is perfectly safe. You may have heard about nano silver, which has had some bad press and may not be safe because it may be absorbed into the skin. Micro silver is much too large of a molecule to do that.
 
I hope this has helped you understand the benefits of cleaning with Norwex microfiber.  Norwex can help you live the life you want to live.  Norwex will save time & money, improve your family's health by reducing allergies, and preserves the environment for future generations.

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!

Drain Care - Consultant Corner

submitted to the Norwex newsletter by Geneviene K

I've been a Norwex user for years...but mainly the cleaning cloths.  Every time a new product comes out I am still skeptical for some reason.  The Norwex Drain Care was one such product.

I have long hair, so sinks and showers where the drain slowly stops flowing "freely" is just a part of life.  It's normal for me to always have a bottle of Drano in my house.  It's toxic, I don't know what it does to the air I breathe, how worried do I need to be about my pets getting into any residue, or what if anything is it doing to my pipes?  So when the Norwex Drain Care arrived, I thought - well, probably won't work, but I'll give it a shot.  You pour one scoop of this 'enzymatic powder' down your drain followed by 4 oz of water and it's amazing!  The enzymes foam up and then down your drain (fun to watch).  No fumes, no gloves, no worries.  Drains run clean when it's done.  You would think okay that's fine, it's done its job. 

The next part is what amazed me most and I only realized several weeks later.  I'm use to having to clean my drains every now and then.  Well it struck maybe 2 months later, that my drains weren't slowing down...they were STILL CLEAN.  This made me think that the Norwex Drain Care had actually worked better than the previous products I used to use.  I did not have to do repeated treatments!  The Norwex product  had probably cleaned out the pipes better than the other product ever did!  I'm sure I've had the Norwex Drain Care for several months and have only used it once...I'm sure the little jar will probably last me.  How can you not love that?

Are you saving time and money dusting?

When I originally purchased the Antibac Microfiber Dusting Mitt, I was thrilled at how quickly I could dust my house and how well it stayed clean. I wondered how well I could polish my furniture without using the "spray" polish. When I began using the dust mitt, I realized that I didn't need anything else. I have more shine on my furniture than I did with the "spray" polish. Using chemicals attracts dust to the furniture, which meant that I was constantly having to dust my house.


My husband was so pleased, when he used it, that he told me to purchase another Antibac Microfiber Dusting Mitt for his other hand. It is amazing how much faster he can dust using both hands.

Let's Compute --

Cost for Antibac Dusting Mitts (2 @ $14.99 ea) = $29.98

Cost for initial Swiffer Duster Starter pack = $4.97

Swiffer 16-ct Duster refills - 4 @ $11.97 = $47.88

Yearly cost to dust once a week  = $52.85

Total Savings for year 1 = $22.87

Total Savings each year after = $47.88

This cost savings does not include any product that you may have used to dust your furniture or if you need more than (1) starter pack.
