Spring Into Norwex Savings!

Spring Into Norwex Savings!

by | Mar 2, 2017 | Customer Specials

March is the start of spring… at least the start of hope for spring!  In my neck of the woods – the greater Edmonton area – the winters are often long, so when March hits, we are all ready to pack away our winter gear and dig out our spring attire. Often it is not quite time… but even if the weather is not cooperating, Norwex is, by offering two great March Customer Specials to welcome in spring!!

1st Special: For the Little Blossoms

This special is a great package for kids.  The Brown Bear Pet-to-Dry  (read more) is made of super-soft chenille microfiber that is irresistible for little kids. It contains the exclusive Baclock™ in the cloth goes to work to self-purify and inhibit odors from bacteria, mold and mildew growth within the cloth. It is also super-absorbent and quick-drying so it can be used over and over. The cute animal motif and fun design helps win the battle of getting your kids to wash and dry their hands after using the washroom and creating an important life-time habit. You probably know that regular hand washing is the best defence against spreading disease and germs, but did you know that 95% of people fail to wash their hands long enough to kill the harmful bacteria on their hands?*  To do so it takes 15-20 seconds (or the time is takes to hum “Happy Birthday” twice) of vigorous scrubbing with soap to properly clean your hands.

Mom, I just dried my hands on the animal, and my hands got totally dry, but the animal didn’t get wet!!!  It was amazing! ~ William, age 4 1/2, Edmonton, Alberta

The second item is the Vibrant Body Pack.  It is a soft microfiber cloth, designed to clean and gently exfoliate skin with just water.  Kids love the colours – pink, green and yellow – and can use them in the bath to clean their bodies or to wash the faces before bed.  These clothes are perfect for delicate skin as well as problem skin as they gently remove excess oils for skin, are effective to help control acne and blackheads and can be part of your child’s daily hygiene routine. The Baclock™ agent in the cloth works to inhibit bacteria so that it can be used a few days before laundering.

The third item is the Reusable Wet Wipes Bag, that is designed to carry your Vibrant Body Pack cloths when you are on the go.  Kids are messy… that is a fact, you need something to clean faces and fingers, but traditional wipes have unnecessary chemicals and cause trouble in the sewer system if flushed and are disposable, causing unnecessary waste. Simply make the cloth damp and tuck it in the bag so it is ready to go when you face a messy face. The bag has a smaller pouch in front to tuck an extra cloth, or a Timeless Natural Hand Cleaner, or your lipgloss.

2nd Special: Spring Cleaning Power Pack

That’s right, spring cleaning season is quickly approaching.  This Power Pack special includes the top selling basic pack including a pink EnviroCloth and purple Window Cloth.  If you are familiar with Norwex, you will know that they are the perfect pair.  The EnviroCloth, when damp and flat folded, can clean all the surfaces of your home.  Then follow it behind with a WindowCloth to polish the surface, leaving them streak free, perfectly clean, without any chemical residue.  Both cloths contain Baclock™ in the cloth – our micro silver antibacterial agent – goes to work to self-purify and inhibit odors from bacteria, mold and mildew growth within 24 hours.  They are a radical way to clean your home that save time, money and the environment.

The Power Pack also has two Dusting Mitts.  Why two mitts? Because you have two hands and so you can get your dusting done twice as fast.  These mitts have a thick, dense, plush fibers designed to use static electricity to attract and hold dust and allergens and not let go. They create a long-lasting clean because there is no ‘chemical muck’ or residue left behind by traditional cleaning products or polishes. Just to name a few, use them to dust: banisters, chandeliers, plant leaves, vents, fireplace screens, leaps and mini blinds.  Clean by shaking vigorously outside or by using the Rubber Brush. Check out how your can clean your window screens… one of the best tips!

Are you excited for spring yet? As you enjoy the change of season, take advantage of these Norwex specials to help make your housekeeping and spring cleaning more efficient and cost effective!

Oops, I Ruined That Cloth…

Oops, I Ruined That Cloth…

by | Aug 22, 2014 | Care Tips, Laundry

My oldest sister was the first person to officially introduce me to Norwex, she blessed me with my first Window Cloth.  It didn’t come with instructions so, uninformed, I proceeded to use it with Windex.  I was under the impression that the cloth was intended to replace your paper towel…  So, I was terribly unimpressed with the job it did.  Between using it with a cleaning solution and laundering it incorrectly, I ruined the cloth and ultimately gave up.

However a year later, I watched my other sister who’s nine years older than me remove her makeup with a Body Pack cloth and water.  I told her jokingly that she looked my age and that I needed to learn the secrets of her skincare regimen, so I could stay looking younger than her.

She then explained she had originally purchased the Norwex Body Pack cloths for her teenage son for use on his acne-prone skin, but they seemed to serve a double purpose.  Not only did the cloth improve his teenage skin; it removed all of her makeup including the waterproof mascara! I was impressed… and I needed a set of these cloths!

Shortly after that encounter, I got my first-ever Body Pack cloth and this time I asked some questions to learn the care tips.

Proper care is very important to enjoy your cloths for years to come.  Here is a quote from a faithful customer of mine since 2006:

I follow Delores’ laundering instructions, and my cloths have always smelled fresh and clean.  No smelly cloths at my house.  ~ Michelle Kool, Edmonton, Alberta

To Properly Care for Your Microfiber:

  • Launder in the washing machine and dryer
    • The washing machine has a strong spin and rinse cycle to remove all of the excess soap from your cloths, so that no residue remains in the fibers.  The dryer perks up the ‘spokes’ in your microfiber, making them ready to work hard for you again.
  • Launder in hot water with a scent-free detergent
  • Lint-free laundry only!
    • The lint from your regular laundry will get stuck into the perky ‘spokes’ of the Norwex microfiber and will reduce the cloth’s effectiveness.  The best suggestion is to launder microfiber items separately.  If you are just starting your collection, and have only a few items, launder your cloths with high Lycra fitness clothing or other lint-free items.
  • No fabric softener or bleach
    • Do not use any chemicals with your Norwex products!  For a fabric softener alternative, try the Norwex trio of Fluff and Tumble Dryer Balls.  They will reduce your drying time by 25%.  If you love the scent of fabric softener, add some essential oils right to the wool dryer ball.
    • Some customers like to add a cap full of  Odour Eliminator into each washing machine load.  This enzyme-based product smells nice and removes any unwanted odours.

Usage:

  • Avoid the temptation to submerge your Enviro and Kitchen Cloths in the kitchen sink of soapy water.  Norwex cloths are only to be used with water, no soap.  Use one cloth in your kitchen for 2-3 days, then launder.
  • The Body Pack cloths are sold in a set of three.  One set of cloths is intended for one person, for a week.  Use a fresh cloth, every other day.
  • A lack of laundering and the overuse of your cloths will result in unpleasant odour.
