NEW Fall Norwex Products 2016

NEW Fall Norwex Products 2016

I am excited to share Norwex’s great line up of new product for 2016!!  There were new personal care products and new household products released during the summer and now there are a few more new products to add to all our of Norwex collections and increase our mission to remove more chemicals from our homes and day-to-day living.

Optic Scarf

optic scarf

Gone are the days when you just had to keep your glasses from being smudged during the day.  We have added all sorts of electronics to our life that tend to get very dirty and require regular cleaning. Norwex’s Optic Scarf is a perfect solution for this smudgy problem. It is a super-convenient, portable, chemical-free, environmentally-friendly solution to sprays and disposable wipes that works even better. The cloth is made of soft, lint-free, scratch-proof microfiber that effectively removes oil, dirt, line and grime from surfaces.  It has a handy clip to attach to anything. It even works on anti-glare surfaces like electronic covers. Perfect for moms with lots of little finger prints to remove as well as construction workers on the job site who struggle with debris on their glasses and devices.  It is a great NEW product.

Wrinkle Release Spray

The new Wrinkle Release Spray is a great time & energy saver.  A light misting of your wrinkled clothing, plus a gentle tugging & smoothing motion is all you need to get your favourite blouse or worker shirt wrinkle free.  Doesn’t that sound better than digging out your iron and ironing board?  Like all Norwex products, it is made of natural ingredients and it dries quickly and it will not stain or leave any residue.  Do you know why your clothes wrinkle? Wrinkles are caused by heat and water… Heat breaks the fiber bonds, which hold the polymers in place within the fabric. When these bonds are broken, the fibers become less rigid and as it the fabric cools, the fibers lock into a new, wrinkled, shape. The Norwex formula + your tugging action release the wrinkle bonds and realign the fibers without wrinkles.  Isn’t that a great NEW product?

Thanks, Norwex for this AMAZING product! I hardly wear this shirt because it is a beast to iron. And my husband does all the ironing (he learned from his college days working at a bank) — so, thanks (sarcastically) for outsourcing my ironer! He brought HIS clothes to ME this morning to “iron” with Norwex after seeing my shirt! Um, I’m so conflicted! “  ~Kristi Fields

Essential Oils – Soothing, Energizing, Purifying Blends

Essential Oils are a wonderful way to add a fresh scent to your home without the adding chemicals like traditional air fresheners.  The Norwex Essential Oils collection will infuse a soothing scent throughout your home while contributing to a feeling of calmness and comfort.  There are 3 blends to choose from: Soothing Blend has Lavender, Vanilla, Camomile and Sandalwood. Energizing Blend has Orange, Lime, Mint and Rose. Purifying Blend has Cinnamon, Cloves, Sweet Orange, Eucalyptus and Rosemary. The ingredients are carefully sourced to make up the essential oils and ensure quality by making small batches. Use them in a diffuser or diluted with water in a Norwex spray bottle to freshen the air in a room, or spritz on hard surfaces and wipe down with a Norwex cloth as a great way to clean and scent your home. You can add a couple drops to your Fluff & Tumble Dryer Balls and scent your laundry or add a couple drops to cotton balls and tuck them in your linen closet or drawers.  Essential Oils are a great addition to the Norwex collection.

Norwex has added some great new products to the collection this fall. I love that Norwex is always working to provide safe, chemical-free solutions for our day-to-day needs.  These three new products do just that!  So be sure to try one a new product or two — whether your fingerprinted cellphone screen drives you crazy or you have a ‘beast’ of a shirt to iron or you enjoy relaxing a the end of the day with a good book, a cup of tea and a soothing blend of essential oils… the new Norwex products have you covered.

New Fall Norwex Products for your Household

New Fall Norwex Products for your Household

Norwex has just released a number of new household and personal care products!  Let me take this opportunity to highlight some of the household products for you. I bet you will fall in love with one or more of these practical, time- and money-saving, environmentally-friendly new products. Click on the new products for more information.

1. Graphite Chenille Hand Towel with Baclock™

Inspired by the Kid’s Pet to Dry (without the kid appeal), this luxuriously soft, super-absorbent hand towel not only dries your hands but uses Baclock™ technology to keep germs and bacteria away.  The Baclock™ technology uses the power of silver to self-purify… leaving a clean towel every time. It is easy to attach, machine washable and soft on hands.  I have done three parties this week…and this has been the biggest hit!!  All of my customers are LOVING this new product!!

2. Ergo Bend (Superior Mop attachment)

As if the Superior Mop wasn’t superior enough… Norwex made it better with this new attachment!  It’s flexibility allows you to easily reach under furniture like couches and beds to reach the dust that used to be beyond your reach.  Simply attach it to the telescopic mop handle and then to your mop head and you are ready to go!  This is a permanent attachment.  If you have the mop…you will LOVE this!!

3. Cutting Board

Norwex has developed an extremely durable, easy-to-clean, biodegradable (made from rice husks) cutting board.  It’s a perfect size: 35 x 25 cm / 13.8 x 9.8″ will protect your counter top and is a great alternative to the usual plastic cutting board.

I received a wonderful testimony ravings about the new Norwex Cutting Board’s amazing properties… “I am definitely in love with this new Norwex Cutting Board!!! Put it to the test with beets and a butcher’s knife and it just rinsed clean! To all my fellow foodies out there – You’ll definitely want this one; plastic-free, easy clean, no slip grip, no staining.~ Mandy Kuelz

4. Pet Mitt with Baclock™

A great ‘tool’ to help you keep your pet clean.  Use wet to gently lift dirt and debris into the absorbent microfibers, or use dry to remove loose hair.  It is also a perfect tool to wipe your pet’s dirty paws before they enter your home and works to remove pet hair from other surfaces like bedding and furniture.  The Baclock™ technology helps the Mitt self-purify and be ready to use in 24 hours or after your pet’s next adventure.

5. Pet Towel with Baclock™

Like all of the Norwex towel collection, the pet towel is super-absorbent, dries quickly for frequent use, and has Baclock™ technology to reduce the growth of bacteria within the fibers of the towel.  What is unique about this towel is that it has built-in hand pockets so you can keep a hold of your pet and dry them quickly after their bath before they wiggle away or shake the bath water all over you.

I am always amazed how Norwex continues to develop innovative products to keep our homes clean (as well as the people & pet who live there) without the use of chemicals.  The fall 2016 new product line up does just that.  Check back for a post on Norwex’s new Personal Care products. Try one, or all of these fabulous new Household products!

New Norwex Products — 2016

New Norwex Products — 2016

I am so excited about the New Norwex Products for 2016! This year Norwex has made some of it’s favourite products even better… more versatile and more environmentally friendly. Take a moment to see what is new and if it could better your Norwex collection.

Microfiber Variety Pack (MVP)4

It is a 3-pack of the most favourite Norwex cloths in a compact size (16 x 16 cm), including; the famous EnviroCloth, Window Cloth & Body Cloth.  They are small which makes them a perfect size to introduce a new friend or to just always have the right cloth right in your bag.

Shower Gel & Body Lotion – New Size Available1 copy

Norwex’s fantastic Body Lotion & Shower Gel are now available in a larger family size (500 ml)!  Nothing smells better than these AMAZING products!

The Shower Gel is a gentle foaming cleanser for your skin, made from the derivatives of fruit sugar, sweet pineapple, coconut & lemon; complete with aloe vera to moisturize and nourish your skin. This product is proudly organic and certified by both BDIH & Natrue. It is still available in the original convenient 200 ml size.

The Organic Body Lotion is a perfect match for the Shower Gel and is made from natural botanicals including coconut oil, grape seed oil, aloe vera, sweet almond oil, shea butter and vitamin E.  This lotion will leave your skin feeling wonderful and is certified organic from both BDIH & Natrue.  It is also still available in the original convenient 200 ml size.

Ergonomic Toilet Brush & Holder – New & Improved2

The Ergonomic Toilet Brush & Holder was improved to include an antibacterial agent to inhibit the growth of bacteria and mold, keeping the toilet brush clean (not to mention ergonomic to reach all those little spaces)… Isn’t that smart?

Air Freshener Bags – New & Improved3

These Air Freshener Bags add long-lasting freshness to the needed areas in your home… without chemicals!  Bamboo, which is fast growing and sustainable, is the secret ingredient… it is turned to charcoal and is able to absorb odours, mold or mildew-causing moisture.  During the day time, it naturally recharges. They last for 2 years and then can be used as a natural fertilizer. The improved part is that you can replace the charcoal insert… making it an even more sustainable product!  They are available in 2 convenient sizes.

Let me know if you have any products you would like to see Norwex create and distribute.  These products are proof that Norwex continues to create solutions to make homes safe havens.

Plastic Grocery Bags & Disposable Wipes Hurt the Environment

Plastic Grocery Bags & Disposable Wipes Hurt the Environment

Let me tell you about a few alternative products that will reduce your exposure to chemicals and will help you save the environment.

The first product is a Reusable Grocery Bag with BacLock™ (only $6.99).  Sounds like that has been done before, right?  Not quite, Norwex’s Reusable Grocery Bag does not harbour bacteria.  It makes sense, right?  When you reuse an item, it tends to get dirty and with that dirty comes bacteria that can harm us.  The Norwex Grocery Bag is handy like most other reusable bags, it is a generous size, it is light weight, it is hefty and strong and it is constructed with recycled materials. But how it isn’t like every other reusable bag is that it is constructed out of food-grade materials and has a BacLock™ lining designed to inhibit odors from bacteria, mold and mildew growth on the inside of the bag.  When your Norwex Reusable Grocery Bag does get dirty, simply wipe it down with a well-wrung, flat-folded EnviroCloth and you will be good to go.

Hooray!  That sounds like a perfect bag to bring groceries home in!

Two of my favorite quotes are:

  • “Be the change you want to see in the world.”  Mahatma Gandhi
  • “What we do to nature, we are doing to ourselves.”  David Suzuki

The second product is the Reusable Wet Wipes Bag.  Such a great NEW idea that works together with the Norwex Travel Pack EnviroCloths.  The Reusable Wet Wipes Bag is waterproof and has two pockets, the front for unused wet/dry clothes and a back pocket for used clothes.  It is small enough to tuck in your purse, diaper bag or backpack. It is made from 100% cotton and is machine-washable.  It is perfect to hold travel size clothes that we need for dirty hands and faces, dirty bums, sticky spots in your car, spot washing your shirt and anything else on the go.

How handy!

wipes facts1

It may seem like a daunting task to give up baby wipes for good… but let me share a tried and true recipe for homemade wipes.  These can be used for those messy jobs that require a disposable wipe. Back in 1999, when our oldest was born I was given this recipe and I used it exclusively for all three of our girls.  I was introduced to Norwex once I was almost out of the diaper stage of life.  That said, I do recommend using the Norwex Baby Body Pack for cleaning baby delicate skin in the bath, to wiping sensitive bottoms, to cleaning babies teething gums.  They work remarkable!!

Travel Mugs and Water Bottles Need a Scrub?

Travel Mugs and Water Bottles Need a Scrub?

As school is back in session, kids are trucking their water bottles back and forth from school and parents are filling their much-needed travel coffee mugs for the morning commute to school or work… Norwex has another new product to help keep these environmentally-friendly essentials clean and free from bacteria.  The Norwex Bottle Brush has expanded this year and now offers 2 additional Bottle Brush Extensions — perfect for cleaning our daily coffee travel mugs, water bottles and much more.

I LOVE this product!  There are three different extensions in total designed to clean any type of slender bottle, well-used travel mug, delicate vase, and even dirty pots and pans. All the extension heads are made from ThermoPlastic Rubber… a durable and flexible material that dries quickly, is dishwasher safe and doesn’t harbour bacteria. They tackle an assortment of jobs because there is an EnviroSleeve for delicate items like glassware & baby bottles or an EnviroSleeve with Scrubber for tougher jobs like pots & pans and hot lunch & soup containers.  Just like the regular EnviroCloth, the EnviroSleeve is embedded with Baclock™ micro silver to inhibit odors from bacteria growth. Just click them on the Bottle Brush handle, use a small squirt of Dishwashing Liquid and get to work. You will be delighted to have clean, bacteria-free, streak-free containers with very little effort.

As you pack your kids’ lunches and fill their water bottles each morning, be confident that the water they drink during the day started in a clean, bacteria-free bottle.  One less thing to worry about…

You will also find these handy brushes listed on my “RV Must Have” list.  They would make a perfect addition to your camping supplies for next summer.

Reusable water bottles and coffee travel mugs are wonderful ways to help our environment by drastically reducing the number of plastic bottles and paper cups consumed. It is important to reuse beverage containers and to have a cleaning system for all those cups. Simple, effective and awesome!

How many beverage containers can you save this week?  This is EYE opening and shocking!  Did you know that 1.6 billion disposable cups are used a year in Canada alone, creating 57 tonnes of garbage a year?  Did you know that paper cups can not be recycled?  Learn how they are also dangerous for your health… watch this:
