How to Care for Your Norwex Microfiber

How to Care for Your Norwex Microfiber

Love Your Norwex Microfiber

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.

Care Tips for Your Norwex Microfiber

Microfiber Care Tips PDF

Norwex Microfiber Care Instructions

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!!!

Let me highlight a few of the Holiday Helper products that are available this month.

Rose EnviroClothRose Quartz & Champagne EnviroCloth with Baclock™

Christmas isn’t just about “the day” its also about the preparation.  Norwex products are designed to make cleaning (prepping) your home easy and take up to 75% less time. They only require water and are made from superior microfiber with Baclock™ agent.  Baclock™ is Norwex’s micro silver antibacterial agent, that goes to work to self purify and inhibit odours from bacteria, mould and mildew in the cloth within 24 hours so that it is ready to use again.

Dusting Mitt with Baclock™

This Dusting Mitt is designed with thick, plush fibers that attract and hold onto dust and allergens in your home. What makes it different than most dusting products out there, is that it can be used wet or dry and it uses open spaces in the fibers to attract the dust. Surfaces stay cleaner, longer because the dust is actually removed and there is no chemical residue left behind to attract particles in the air.  Woo Hoo for having a dust-free home at Christmas!

Norwex Laundry DetergentLaundry Detergent (500gr/1.1 lbs)

With all the Christmas baking and cooking and hosting… there can be extra loads of laundry (kitchen cloths, table cloths, napkins etc).  Norwex’s Laundry Detergent is AWESOME!  A little goes a long way (one bag cleans 100 loads in a HE machine and the 66 loads in a standard machine).  It is 100% biodegradable, perfume-free, and does a great job on whites (like those Christmas napkins with turkey grease).

Large Cutting Board

I am so glad Norwex produced this fabulous cutting board.  I am always looking for ways to reduce my use of plastic in the kitchen!  Norwex’s cutting board is made of natural rice husks and is extremely durable, stain-resistant and has a silicone grip ring to keep it from slipping on your counter. It is a favourite in my kitchen!

Host Reward 5

Host Exclusive Offer!

Norwex Bath MatThis offer only comes around once in a while! This month, in addition to the other four rewards, you will be rewarded when your party sells $850 in product, has 6 buying guests and has 1  new booking with a FREE Lavender Bath Towel and a Spa Stone Grey Chenille Bath Matt!  What a great month to host!

As you start thinking about your Christmas traditions, consider adding another tradition and host a Norwex party.

Kitchen Party Essentials (link)

Norwex Kitchen SpecialsThe All Purpose Kitchen Cloth is designed to tackle all the grease and grime in your kitchen. It has a waffle-weave design that is tough, durable, quick-drying, absorbent and can be used with or without soap. It is a great cloth to clean your whole kitchen, because it can wash dishes, wipe counters, remove grease from cabinets and clean appliances.

Veggie & Fruit Scrub Cloth was made to help clean produce.  The waxy coating that producers spray on our fruit and veggies is used to protect the product from pests, fungal attacks, debris and decay but that coating is something we should be consuming.  A quick rinse of your apple under the sink is not sufficient. Instead, try Norwex’s two-sided Veggie and Fruit Scrub Cloth to beautifully scrub and then polish your produce. This will make them as clean as possible.

 “Using Norwex for cleaning eggs that keeps the bloom in tact. Another use for the Veggie & Fruit Cloth!” ~ Cindy Smith

Norwex Veggie Cloth

(Pack of 2) SpiriSponge (FREE) A freebie with the purchase of the Kitchen Party Essentials special!!! These scrubby sponges are hard-working, non-scratching, pure eco-friendly scrubbers. They are safe on stainless steel, everyday dishes, pots and pans, cookware, glass stove tops, and even the shower and bath faucets (but don’t use on your brushed stainless steel appliances).  The have a stiff ridge to clean the edges of your sink or under the faucets where water stains form.  They work wonderfully with Descaler on showers, or Cleaning Paste on  your kitchen sink, or with Norwex Dishsoap for pots and pans.

Dish Time Diva (link)

Norwex Dish Specials(Pack of 2) Blue Netted Dish Cloth  – The Norwex Dish Cloth is a great alternative to traditional sponges or scrubbers that either quickly wear out, stain and/or collect food, bacteria or odours. Did you know? Kitchens harbour more germs than bathrooms, and the kitchen sponge is the #1 source of germs in the house. Norwex Dish Cloths are made of loosely woven nylon that is great for cleaning cheese graters, removing flour from the counters, soap scum from your shower and even bugs off your car windshield.  I love how versatile Norwex products are!

Set of 3 Sink Mats – Norwex describes these mats as a “handy landing pad” for wet, messy items in your kitchen and bathroom. They come in a 3 of set different sizes and can be used anywhere.  A fellow consultant of mine has an extra drawer next to her kitchen sink that holds her Bottle Brush, Spirisponges, Straw Cleaning Brush and Micro Hand Cleaners.  By placing a Sink Mat in her drawer, she knows that because it is highly absorbent, quick-drying and contains the Baclock™ self-cleansing agent in the mat, her drawer is a clean place. The mats are another one of Norwex’s versatile products.

Bottle Brush with Blue EnviroSleeve – This Bottle Brush is perfect for all the ‘to go’ coffee cups and water bottles in my home. The brush is made of a flexible and durable ThermoPlastic Rubber that does not harbour any bacteria and only needs a little squirt of Dish Soap to clean.  It comes with an EnviroSleeve with Baclock™ for for extra scrubbing power, like when a vase has bacteria growth or your water bottle has been rolling around your car floor for too long 🙂  Check out Travel Mugs and Water Bottles Need a Scrub? for full details.

Our Birthday Best Set (link)

Norwex Birthday SpecialsThis special includes some of my best-selling products… they get even better when they are on sale!

Blue & Graphite  EnviroCloth – These cloths will change how you clean your home!  Did you know? On average a household spends $600 – $800/ year on cleaning supplies. Cleaning with Norwex will drastically reduce your need for a variety of cleaners and lower your cleaning cost and use of chemicals… not to mention the make cleaning FAST. These cloths require only water and have the ability to remove up to 99% of bacteria from a surface when following the proper care and use instructions.

Blue Dusting Mitt – This makes dusting so quick and easy.  I always wear two Mitts to make it even faster… The Dusting Mitt has thick, dense, plush fibers that attract and hold on to dust and allergens.  Simply give the Mitt a little spritz of water and get to work dusting blinds, fans, lamps,  banisters, chandeliers, plants, vents, screens etc.  The best part is that you don’t need chemicals, which keeps the surface cleaner, longer because dust is not attracted to the film left behind.  Also the Mitt traps the dust and doesn’t redistribute it in your home.

EnviroWand with Two-Sided Sleeve – This is another fantastic dusting tool.  For all the places your Dusting Mitt can’t fit… try the EnviroWand.  It has a regular microfiber side and a nubby chenille microfiber side which has a lot of surface area to attract dust and debris. The EnviroWand is flexible and fits perfectly around appliances, under the fridge and piano, reaches ceiling fans and the top of book shelves.

Blue EnviroCloth with Baclock™ – This is the original cloth that started Norwex.  It is made of microfiber that is 1/200th the size of a human hair.  If unravelled it would reach from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. It has antibacterial microfiber that removes dust, dirt and grease from all washable surfaces using only water!  I love to colour code my cloths so that I have a cloth for each type of job in my house.  Each week I collect my cloths from around the house, launder them and then return them to their spot.

Charcoal Cloths = Kitchen Jobs, Blue Cloths= Dirty Jobs that may stain the cloth, Pink Cloth= Toilets (P is for Pee), Green Cloths= Bathrooms

Norwex EnviroCloth

Charcoal Cloths = Kitchen Jobs, Blue Cloths= Dirty Jobs that may stain the cloth, Pink Cloth= Toilets (P is for Pee), Green Cloths= Bathrooms

Tranquil Body Pack with Baclock™ – These beautiful face and body cloths are made of super-soft microfiber that perfectly cleanse the skin with just water from daily makeup and the environmental elements. Harsh soaps and cleansers often dry our skin, especially sensitive skin… using soft microfiber with water helps maintain your skin’s natural balance. Some facial cleansers have tiny plastic microbeads to help exfoliate the skin, but are nonbiodegradable and hurt our waterways.  They have actually been banned in some places. If you are looking for an effective exfoliator, simply wring the Body Pack Cloth well and gently cleanse your face with a upper circular motion to relieve your beautiful skin.

Ultra Power Plus Laundry Detergent (500gr/1.1 lbs) – The most versatile, pure, effective laundry detergent out there. It is 100% biodegradable and free from phosphates, fillers, fragrances and chlorine. You only need to use a little so you can do up to 100 loads in an HE machine and up to 66 in a standard machine.  I not only love it for our laundry, but I love that there are endless things you can use it for… it’s good stuff.

For example:

Clean your makeup brushes…

Norwex UpP

Clean the filters in your Stove Hood…

Clean your stove top burners…

Purifying Essential Oil – I love it when my home smells good… but not with scented chemicals, but with real soothing scents from essential oils. Norwex’s Purifying Essential Oil is made from high-quality, organic ingredients including; Spicy Cinnamon, Cloves, Eucalyptus, Sweet Orange, and a hint of Rosemary (organically farmed in Italy).  Essential Oils can be used with the Fragrance Disc and hung in a closet, you can dilute a few drops in your Norwex Spray Bottle and spritz the air or furniture, or you can even use a couple drops on the Fluff and Tumble Dryer Balls and freshen your linens in the dryer.  They are so versatile and so beautiful.

EnviroWand with Two-Sided Sleeve – This duster is perfect for all those hard-to-reach areas in your home, like, the area beside your fridge, the ceiling fans, under the piano, top of the cabinets. The list is endless. The EnviroWand is a flexible, washable, can be used wet or dry, can be attached to telescopic handle, has a two-side sleeve with a nubby chenille microfiber side and a regular Norwex microfiber side… so it is perfect for all types of dusting. Do you know why it is important to dust? Many chemicals in our homes – that come from furniture, open windows, the bottom of our shoes, electronics, etc… – wind up in the dust.  When you remove the dust, you remove the chemicals.

Norwex Exclusive Offer MayThe Exclusive May Host Reward is FANTASTIC!  The reward makes this month a 5 STAR Host Reward month.  They only happen once in a while and they are a treat.  This exclusive reward is worth $99.97!  When your party achieves $800 in Guest Sales, has 6 Buying Guests, and 1 New Booking, you will receive (in addition to the other 4 Stars) 1 limited-edition Chenille Bath Mat, 1 Chenille Hand Towel and 1 Peppermint Foaming Hand Wash for FREE.

Norwex’s Pitch the Plastic Special for Earth Month

Norwex’s Pitch the Plastic Special for Earth Month

Pitch the Plastic Norwex Specials

Plastic Pollution in our Ocean

Plastic is a problem. CBC recently reported that “there are more than 79,000 tonnes of ocean plastic in a 1.6 million square kilometre area of the North Pacific Ocean, often referred to as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. That’s 16 times more than previous estimates.”  Plastic is a material that does not decompose.  It never goes away. It does break down into small pieces, called microplastics (pieces measuring less than 0.5 cm in diameter), which “marine life can consume and potentially die from”.  The Ocean Cleanup Foundation commissioned an expedition in 2015 and found 1.8 trillion pieces of microplastics, including “plastic bottles, containers, packaging straps, lids, ropes and fishing nets… that have been accumulating for decades.” In this CBC article, Marcus Eriksen, founder and research director of the 5 Gyres Institute spoke about how the clean up efforts are important, but “not a solution by itself. ” Eriksen and Laurent Lebreton, lead author of Scientific Reports agree that they “would like to see less single-use plastic as well as a focus on cleaning up beaches and shores, before it makes its way into our oceans.”

What Is Norwex Doing about Plastic?

The truth of ocean plastic pollution is staggering… but, I believe that one household, who makes environmentally-friendly choices, does make a difference in the world. When you add up all our households, we do make a big difference! I am so grateful that Norwex recognizes the impact of plastic and is dedicated to helping people make conscience choices to reduce plastic waste.  This month, Norwex’s “Pitch the Plastic Pack” Customer Special provides sustainable solutions to reduce our need for plastic straws, plastic wrap, plastic produce bags and plastic grocery bags.  Isn’t that AWESOME?  Plus, to celebrate Earth Day on April 22nd, Norwex is giving a couple FREE products with some of the specials!!!

Norwex Cleaning Paste Testimonial

Sustainable Sink Set

The kitchen sink is a busy place… from washing dishes and hands, to cleaning produce, to soaking pots and rinsing out the kitchen cloth.  It is great that Norwex has the products to make our sinks sustainable.  The Sink Mats (set of 3) are made of highly-absorbent microfiber and foam that are perfect for placing near the sink to provide a convenient resting place for wet or messy glasses, cups, bottles, toothbrushes and soap dispensers.  They are a perfect “landing pad” for all those wet or sticky objects. The Bottle Brush with EnviroSleeve is a great tool for quickly cleaning bottles, vases, glassware, coffee to-go cups, etc.  The brush is made of flexible and sturdy ThermoPlastic Rubber bristles that do a great job cleaning right to the bottom of your bottle without scratching it.  When paired with an extra-soft EnviroSleeve with Baclock™, it is perfect for delicate items.

Pitch the Plastic Pack

Pitch the Plastic NorwexThis special is packed with sustainability products that can help reduce our consumption of plastic straws, plastic wrap, plastic produce bags and plastic grocery bags. Reducing the use of all these ‘single-use’ plastic products is worth it.  The Produce Bags (set of 3) are made of a washable polyester that don’t leach chemicals, are washable and super durable.  They are the perfect size to bring your produce home, are light enough so your produce can be weighed inside the bag and you can even wash, rinse and store your produce in the bag when you get home. The Reusable Grocery Bag is awesome because it has Baclock™ in the lining, making it the cleanest reusable bag you own.  It is also the perfect size and super durable. The Silicone Lids (set of 2) are constructed with food-grade silicone and are designed to create an airtight seal on food containers.  They keep food fresh, can be used in the microwave and oven (up to 425º F) and won’t hold food odours.  A perfect reusable alternative to plastic wrap and foil.  The Stainless Steel Drinking Straws (set of 4) are a great way to avoid single-use straws because although they are usually recyclable, they don’t usually get recycled. Did you also know? More than 500 million plastic straws are used daily.  They are one of the top 10 debris items ingested by sea life. These straws fit most cups and bottles and even make your drink taste colder… which is perfect for smoothies.  The Norwex Cleaning Brush is the perfect tool to quickly clean out the straws so they are ready to use again. BONUS: When you buy the Pitch the Plastic Pack you will receive a FREE Special Edition Optic Scarf.

Isn’t it amazing that there are sustainable options for the day-to-day choices we make. I empower you to believe that the choices you make do impact the health of our environment.  Even switching from using traditional plastic straws to reusable Stainless Steel Straws would save 38,000 straws from entering the landfill or ocean in your lifetime.
