Enzymes are protein molecules in the cell that work as catalysts or to speed up chemical reactions without getting used up in the process.
“There are thousands of enzymes involved in everything from the cellular processes in your body to the decomposition of your trash, but enzyme cleaners are made using a few specific enzymes that break down biological substances like fats, oils, proteins, and starches. That means that instead of just wiping away the food on your kitchen counter or the mildew on the shower curtain, enzyme cleaners break down those stains into elements like oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon. Enzyme cleaners are non-toxic and biodegradable, meaning they are safe to use in any area of your home.” (1)
Enzymes are perfect for cleaning our homes because our household messes are all organic in nature and therefore act as the substrate (or the substance that starts the chemical reaction) for the enzyme to do its job. I love that Norwex has developed enzyme cleaners… they do an amazing job, without the need for harmful chemicals.
How do Enzyme-based cleaners work?
There are thousands of different enzymes and they all have their own job. Enzymes specific action (or job) is only activated when their specific substrate is present. Enzyme-based cleaners use specific enzymes in their solutions to create the desired action and preferred performance… many cleaners combine enzymes to create a product they desire. For example, “modern detergents typically contain several enzyme activity types to ensure optimal cleaning of complex soil substrates.” (2)
Amy Cadora, Norwex Chief Marketing Officer and author of the Norwex Movement Blog, gives a quick overview of different enzymes and how they can be used in our everyday cleaning. They provide an all-natural, environmentally-friendly, toxic-free alternative to the chemical-laden cleaners we find in the supermarket.
“Proteases break down protein stains, like grass, egg, blood, coffee, tea, dairy, wine and fat, as well as odors.
Amylases help break down starch-based stains, like those from pasta and potato dishes, and cereals.
Lipases accelerate the breakdown of fatty and oily stains. They help remove body stains on cuffs and collars, as well as stains from lipstick, butter, gravy, vegetable oils and other non-mineral oils and fats.
Cellulases help maintain brightness by reducing pilling and fuzzing that can trap dirt. In other words they help your whites and brights stay that way.
Mannanases break down food stains caused by thickening agents like guar gum and locust bean gum.
Pectinases disintegrate stains from fresh fruits and berries, as well as processed foods, tomato-based foods and sauces, jelly, and more.” (3)
While both Norwex Sportzyme and Odour Eliminator look the same from an ingredient standpoint, they are actually quite different. Using the same enzymes in varying concentrations allows products to solve specific problems. For instance, Sportzyme contains a higher microbial count and a very high concentration protease… an enzyme that tackles protein-based odours that contribute to smells, perspiration or sweat. In the Odour Eliminator, the microbial counts and enzyme concentrations differ and are designed to fight a broader range of odours which are generated in the laundry room, bathroom and carpets. Each formula is unique and has been developed with a different application in mind. Check out all of the Norwex enzyme-based cleaners!
Not just for your mattresses and fabrics in your home, but also use this Mattress Cleaner on all the fabrics in your RV, trailer or cabin. Did you know? 80% of what you see in a ray of sunlight is dead skin cells… yuck! This enzyme-based product removes dust mites, their feces, animal dander and dead skin cells.
Have a pet, or potty training a toddler?… This enzyme-based Carper Stain Remover spray will come in handy! But seriously, it can handle any tough carpet stains. The testimony below is from one of my personal customers… I’m so glad I was able to offer this solution to fix her problem.
“My customer had just moved into her new condo. Her friend stopped by with a puppy, to check it out. The puppy had a bout of diarrhea on her white carpet. (She was not impressed.) She cleaned it up with a “home” carpet cleaner, but the carpet was still stained and rough in texture. Six weeks later at a presentation she bought the Carpet Stain Buster, to her DELIGHT… the carpet became totally clean and back to its original soft texture.”
Norwex just released 3 NEW Gorgeous SCENTS… Fresh Rain, Misty Meadow, Crisp Linen! It is versatile and a little goes a long way, so dilute this enzyme-based solution 1:7 with water. Spray into garbage cans, camping trailer, use as an air freshener in the bathroom, great to remove campfire smoke smell from your jacket and use with the Norwex mop to clean your floor to leave a fresh scent. Unlike traditional air fresheners that mask the odour, Norwex’s Odour Eliminators have no artificial fragrances, aerosol canisters or chemicals, instead, it uses enzymes to break up the odour-causing agents and leave your spaces fresh.
Did you know? The best way to care for your Microfiber cloths (like EnviroCloths, Window Cloths, Body Pack Cloths, etc.) is to deep clean them every 6 months. Norwex just released an enzyme-based Microfiber Cleaner Laundry Booster that does a beautiful job. Simply soak your cloths in hot water and a scoop of Microfiber Cleaner, agitate the water and watch how dirty the water gets… repeat this process until the water is clear. Then, enjoy your rejuvenated microfiber cloths!!
This enzyme-based cleaner is perfect for families with athletes and active individuals… sweat is stinky! It is perfect for spraying all sorts of sports equipment to help control the odour. Putting away those winter boots, mittens, gloves for the summer season? Use a spray of Sportzyme and have them smelling like new for next fall.
Enzymes vs. Chemicals to Clean
Traditional cleaners use chemicals, toxins, artificial fragrances, stinky soaps which can all contribute to hurting our environment and hurting us. Norwex has a radically different way of cleaning. Most of the jobs in our homes only require an EnviroCloth and water to clean. Did you know? Norwex Microfiber has the ability to remove up to 99% of bacteria from a surface when following the proper care and use instructions. But for some jobs, enzyme-based cleaners are required. Enzymes keep working until its job is done. Different enzymes digest different materials which are why Norwex has different products to complete different jobs.

They are perfect for ALL types of skin.
The Body Balm is just as amazing! I use this Body Balm every time I get out the shower… up and down my legs and with special attention on my heels, knees and elbows. It is made with USDA certified organic ingredients and has a beautiful citrusy, minty aroma. It has organic Beeswax, to protect skin from the elements, Shea Butter, to absorb rapidly into the skin and Castor Oil, to help restore moisture balance. Seriously… pamper yourself, or someone you love with this one.
This customer specials is a bundle of little treasures. The Microfiber Variety Pack includes a compact-sized EnviroCloth, WindowCloth and Body Pack Cloth.

Whatever situation you find yourself in… spill in the car, smudgy cellphone screen, sticky toddler face… these little cloths will save the day!!!
Instead of using chemical-laden air fresheners deal with smelly areas in your home, try Norwex Air Freshener Bags. They are made of sustainably-harvested Bamboo that is turned into charcoal that quickly and effectively absorbs unpleasant odours. The slim size is perfect for spaces, like: freezers, wine coolers, linen drawers, gym bags, shoes, lockers and hampers.

These beauties last up to 2 years… every few months place the inner bag in the sun to rejuvenate its effectiveness. AWESOME!
Love your pet… but not their hair? The Lint Mitt is the perfect, eco-friendly, reusable, totable solution! Instead of using expensive, disposable lint tape, try Norwex’s Lint Mitt instead. It is perfect for clothing, furniture and upholstery… to use, make straight strokes and going against the grain of the mitt. Handy and environmentally-friendly!
This limited-time, dual-sided turquoise Kitchen Towel and Cloth set is designed with a traditional microfiber side and a waffle-weave side. This means that they not only have the absorbency and Baclock™ agent advantage of an EnviroCloth, but they also have a scrubby, durable advantage with the waffle-weave side. Try them out… see if they become your favourite Christmas Kitchen Cloth.

This reward gives you a taste of the best Norwex has to offer. As you party reaches the $350, $550, $750 & $1000 sales categories, you will receive various AMAZING Norwex Product for FREE. Let me highlight one product from each category. Just think, one of these items might make a perfect gift for someone on your list!
This is a perfect gift for a Mom on-the-go. Did you know? Wet wipes are one of the most common consumer items in our landfills, making up 30% of non- biodegradable waste. Instead of wet wipes, just tuck a couple Baby Body Cloths in the bag (wet or dry) and you will be ready for anything (dirty faces and hands, a small spill, and even a dirty bum). This washable Reusable Wet Wipes Bag has 2 pockets and the large pocket is lined with water-resistant PEVA to safely store your wet/soiled cloths.
These are a fairly new Norwex item and they were designed to help reduce the need for paper napkins. Did you know? If a family of 4 uses 2 napkins/person/day, they would use almost 3,000 napkins/year! The Norwex Napkins provide a great solution because they are made from 50% recycled material, are reusable and they have the exclusive Baclock™ self-purifying agent in the napkin so you can use it more than once before washing.
These cloths were designed to reduce the need for paper towel. They are same size as a half-sheet paper towel, they have Baclock™ agent to go to work self-purifying the cloth and they are super absorbent. They are all the things you love about paper towel… except they are a sustainable, eco-friendly product. They are great for cleaning up spills, but I also use them in other areas in my kitchen. I have a tea station where I keep one of these to lay my spoon and catch the drips from my tea leaves. They are so handy.
I love that Norwex thinks of everything when they design a product. This Spa Wrap is not velvety soft, but it is super absorbent and light weight. All these things, plus it has a velcro closure to hold it in place as you get out of the shower and get ready for your day. It’s a beautiful wrap.
