Norwex microfiber cloths are not like your run-of-the-mill cleaning cloth, cleaning rags, or even the crocheted dishcloths your grandma loves to make. So because they are different, they require a little extra special care. ❤️ Norwex microfiber is an efficient and amazing way to clean your home without compromising your health by inhaling, ingesting or absorbing chemicals from traditional cleaners. Keep reading to find out what makes Norwex different and how to take care of them.
What makes Norwex Microfiber Cloths Different?
EnviroCloths are a multipurpose cloth that can be used wet or dry to clean most hard surfaces.
Norwex microfiber is 1/200th the width of a human hair… if the cloth was unwound it would reach from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico (3 million meters). These microfibers have innovative cleaning power.
Because Norwex microfiber is so ‘micro,’ it has the ability to remove up to 99% of bacteria from a surface when following the proper care and use instructions.
It replaces the need for chemical cleaners, like window cleaners, dusting sprays and multipurpose sprays, and just requires water… saving you money!
Eliminates the need for paper towel… reducing your paper waste and paper dust in your home.
Eliminates residue from traditional cleaners, that are often left behind, leaving your home cleaner.
Embedded with Baclock™ – Norwex’s exclusive micro silver antibacterial agent – goes to work to self-purify the and inhibit odours from bacteria, mold and mildew growth within the cloth within 24 hours so that is ready to use again.
Available in 7 colours… allowing you to colour-code your cloths for different jobs.
When you flat fold the cloth, it has 8 cleaning surfaces to use… reducing cleaning time up to 75%!
Norwex works hard to protect the environment. In fact, Norwex uses 2 – 5 plastic bottles in the construction of their cloths and they have a recycling program to recycle old, retired Norwex cloths.
The first 3 instructions are a must for caring for your Norwex investment:
Launder in the washer & dryer. Although you should avoid the soapy dish sink with your Norwex cloths, it is important to launder them in your washer to clean them. The rinse and spin cycles in your washer work to remove all the soap from the cloth. It is important to dry your cloth in the dryer because Norwex cloths employ the power of static electricity. In the dryer, the spokes of the microfiber get ‘perked’ up and make the cloth ready to clean again.
Lint freeload. Launder your Norwex Microfiber with lint-free fabrics only. Lint from other fabrics gets caught in the spaces between the microfibers, reducing the effectiveness of the cloth.
No bleach or fabric softener. These products will break down and coat the microfibers reducing its ability to clean a surface and will ruin the cloth.
The last 3 care instructions are a suggestion to get the most out of your Norwex cloths:
Unscented detergent is best. Unscented laundry detergent cleans without leaving lingering fragrances and residue that might damage the microfiber. I would recommend either of the Norwex laundry detergents. What do you prefer? Powder or Liquid, we have both and the ingredient lists are extremely CLEAN!! Personally I use the Liquid Laundry Detergent. It is biodegradable, enzyme-based, ultra-concentrated (one bottle cleans 215 HE loads or 107 Standard Loads), effective in hard water and comes in a small, recyclable, pump dispensing style bottle. It is free from: Phosphates, Chlorine, Fragrances, Optical brighteners, Ammonia, Sulfates, Dyes, Fillers, Phthalates and Bleach.
Deep Clean when needed. This is always a shocking experience. If you have any older cloths – I highly recommend this!! Every 4-6 months, your cloths will benefit from being deep cleaned. Use the Norwex Laundry Booster! It is the perfect product to deep clean your cloths. Simply dissolve 1 scoopful of enzyme charged powder into a gallon of hot water and soak for 30 minutes. Repeat this step until the water is clean. Then launder in the washer with Norwex Laundry Detergent or Liquid Laundry Detergent. WOW!!! This product also cleans; hockey equipment, exercise gear, bras, footwear, bed sheets (say goodbye to head stained pillowcases), etc… I call this the POWER POWDER, this enzyme works like a charm!!
Avoid soapy water. Norwex microfiber works (and has the ability to remove up to 99% of bacteria from a surface when following the proper care and use instructions.) when the microfibers spokes are perked up and have space to absorb all the dirt, debris and bacteria. The danger of submerging Norwex microfiber into soapy water, is that the soap will leave residue behind, making the microfiber less effective.
How Long Can I Use my Microfiber Cloths?
Norwex offers a 2 – year warranty on their microfiber cloths… outside of normal wear and tear. If you want to know for sure that your microfiber cloth is removing up to 99% of bacteria from your surface (like raw chicken on your counter!!!) ensure your cloth is less than two years old. I recommend that you use a sharpie to write the purchase date on the tag of the cloth and after two years, cut the tag and use the cloth as a rag (like cleaning the patio furniture or cleaning the oven or bbq… dirty jobs).
Norwex Microfiber Investment
Norwex products are not a luxury – they are a necessity. Everyone is cleaning with something. Every home incorporates “cleaning supplies” into their annual budget. The wipes, sprays, gels and scrubs get tossed in the cart without a thought. Norwex is choosing to live your life intentionally to protect your health and the environment. These products are an investment… not only a financial investment but also an investment in your health. Seeing as it is an investment, it only makes sense to take care of it to ensure you get the most out of your Norwex microfiber cloths. You will love how they clean your home, quick and easy… with just water. What an investment!!!

I would like to feature a few products to give you a little information about what Norwex is about and what you could earn.
Coastal Three Pack – The Body Pack cloths are the best-designed body cloth you will find. They are on my must-have list. Why? They are made from super-soft Norwex microfiber with Baclock™ agent. This micro-silver agent in the cloth goes to work with self-purification properties against the mould, fungi and bacterial odour within 24 hours so that is ready to use again. That means you always have a clean cloth. It is gentle on all types of skin (sensitive, ageing, teenage)… and is perfect for removing excess oils from the skin and helps maintain the balance of the delicate skin. It cleanses the skin gently, yet thoroughly and if wrung nearly dry will provide excellent exfoliation. Use on your face and body. I like to use them as part of my daily skin regime to cleanse my skin and remove my makeup.
Aqua EnviroCloth – These EnviroCloths are Norwex’s foundation… they are what started it all 25 years ago and the technology behind them is what makes cleaning without chemicals possible. Norwex EnviroCloths are made from microfiber 1/200th the width of a human hair so they are so absorbent they eliminate the need for papertowel, when used with water they clean any hard surface so they eliminate the need for a variety of cleaners, and they have Baclock™ agent so they self-purify. What else would you want to clean your home?
Black Raspberry Lipbalm – This lip smacker-sized lip balm is full of good nourishing rich emollients such as: Sunflower Seed Oil, Castor Seed Oil, Beeswax and Shea Butter to moisturize, soothe and condition dry, chapped lips. It is USDA organic certified which means it ensures that at least 95% of ingredients are free from sythetic additives, pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Keep this lip balm handy… the winter months are coming.
Body Balm – I am very busy with this product every time I step out of the shower. It is a perfect for dry legs, arms, elbows, knees, cracked heels… you name it. It is made from certified organic ingredients, including:
Sunflower Seed Oil, to provide antioxidant protection
Beeswax, to protect skin from the elements

Bathrooms are areas in our homes that need cleaning on a regular basis. Bathrooms harbour bacteria, soap scum, hard water stains and sometimes stink. Bathrooms are small enclosed areas, so the cleaners we spray onto the surfaces in our bathrooms also get inhaled into our lungs. Want a new way to tackle your bathroom? The first time I ever really thought about bathroom cleaners, was when I was pregnant with our first child, and my husband offered to clean the shower! He didn’t want me inhaling the strong fumes while in the enclosed space of our shower stall. I realize now that if you should avoid something because you are pregnant, you should ALWAYS avoid it. No one should be inhaling chemicals when cleaning their home.
Bathrooms require a ‘heavy duty’ clean but with Norwex you won’t compromise your health or your environment to do it. The Blue Diamond All-in-One Bathroom Cleaner is one the Top 10 favourite products. Like its name suggests, Blue Diamond is designed to replace dozens of traditional bathroom cleaners without harsh chemicals but still delivering deep clean to all surfaces, eliminating odor-causing bacteria and germs, plus removing rust stains, water stains & soap scum. Your bathroom will shine in no time!
Blue Diamond is a thick, highly-concentrated formula, phosphate-free, alkyl phenol ethoxylates-free, and fragrance-free. It contains organic salts and citric acids to replace strong corrosive acids and is readily biodegradable — even the container is recyclable!!!!
The fact that this gel product is scent free, is huge!! I have a number of house cleaners who exclusively use this product. Two ladies shared with me that the product they previously used — which are common store bought cleaners — gave them bleeding noses from the constant exposure. Many of us dislike cleaning one or two showers…these ladies clean that many and more each day! Since switching to Norwex, they no longer have this issue. Over 13 years ago, I vividly recall pulling the edge of my shirt over my nose, to avoid inhaling the fumes.
Here is why Cindy Highland, USA, loves Blue Diamond:
“My father lives in Nebraska – VERY HARD WATER. All of his sinks feel like sand paper. I used the Blue Diamond at full strength on his sink, using my EnviroCloth. I let it sit for about 10-15 minutes, paying special attention that it didn’t dry. Took a scrubby and voila!!!!! The sink is as smooth as a baby’s bottom. That sink is at least 30 years old and has never been so smooth! I’m totally sold.”
You can clean all the surfaces in your bathroom with this product. It is both a cleaning agent and a descaling agent in one with the ability to cling to all surfaces.
TOILET: Squirt a thin stream in your toilet, work around the toilet with the Ergonomic Toilet Brush, let sit for 5 minutes and flush.
SINKS, SHOWERS & TUBS: Pre-wet surface. Apply a light stream on surface and immediately spread with EnviroCloth or Bathroom Scrub Mitt, rinse immediately.
PORCELAIN: Dilute 1 part Cleaner : 7 parts Water. Apply a light stream on surface and immediately spread with EnviroCloth or Bathroom Scrub Mitt, rinse immediately.
NATURAL STONE SURFACES: Do not use.
I am often asked, what is the difference between the Blue Diamond and the Descaler? There are two kinds of housekeepers and Norwex has the solution for them both!!
Those who clean their home weekly…use the Blue Diamond.
Gel product, you can dilute.
Those who clean when they see it’s needed…require the Descaler. (Watch for a post coming soon.)
Spray product, you never dilute.
So next time you (or your hubby) tackle the enclosed areas of your bathroom, breath confidently. Come armed with an EnviroCloth or a Bathroom Scrub Mitt and this amazing Blue Diamond Cleaner to make your bathroom shine!!!
