With spring comes new life, warm windows, sunshine, tulips, green grass and buds on the trees. If your backyard has poplar trees, you know what I am talking about. Most buds are welcome… but the poplar buds are sticky and abundant and like to attach themselves to whoever gets close. A couple days ago, I was out in my backyard with my sweet dog, Bentley, and it only took a few minutes for his paws to covered in these sticky poplar buds. It’s not just Bentley… these sticky buds get stuck to the bottom of my girls’ feet too and leave sticky residue and a yellow stain that can be carried all over the house. I have heard of all sorts of remedies that ‘sort of work’ or require chemical-laden products, I even talked to a women who CUT the sticky buds out of her dog’s fur! But look no further… Norwex’s Timeless Natural Hand Cleaner quickly removes the sticky buds and its yellow residue quickly, with natural ingredients that leave your dog’s paws or your kids’ feet soft.
When your dog wants back inside, just squirt a dab into the palm of your hand and massage it into yours dog’s paws to remove the sticky buds. Don’t worry if your dog licks his paws as you clean them, it is a NATURAL cleaner that won’t harm him… it will only leave the pads of his feet soft and clean. If your kids love to run outside without their shoes… maybe 20 trips to and from the trampoline or to practice their backflips and cartwheels, I recommend leaving a Natural Hand Cleaner by the backdoor. When they come in, they can quickly remove the yellow stains and sticky buds from the feet and hands before they literally STICK to your floor.
I love it when there is a natural, chemical-free solution to real-life issues. Sticky paws and feet due to spring-time popular buds are easily resolved by Norwex’s amazing Natural Hand Cleaner. Give it a squirt.

Considering hosting a Norwex presentation in your home??? You will not be disappointed! Norwex is extremely generous; plus, spring is a time when EVERYONE is thinking about cleaning and organizing and they will have lots of reasons to attend your party. By introducing Norwex to your family and friends you will help equip them with the tools and training to clean their homes with environmentally-friendly or green clean methods that will improve their life.
I love describing Norwex’s host rewards program as a FIVE-STAR program. Why? Because it has FIVE ways to reward you. These 5 rewards are based on the number of buying guests, the amount of product sold and the number of new bookings. WE ALL HAVE TO CLEAN OUR HOMES… so why not invite your family and friends to learn how to clean quicker, easier and without using chemicals. It will be the best party ever.
Let’s talk about the FIVE-STAR REWARDS:
When your party has a minimum of $600 in Subtotal A Sales, has 6 Buying Guests and 1 New Booking, you will receive a Collapsible Basket with Lid, an EnviroTowel and a Scrubby Corner EnviroCloth. An $80 value!!!
This reward is fun because the more product sold, the more free product you receive and it starts at only $350 in sales. I my experience an average Norwex party sells $500 (and that’s just the average)… so the rewards add up fast. For the month of May, Norwex is rewarding their hosts with lots of kitchen-related products… there is nothing better than new kitchen cloths and towels!!! Check out what is available (click on the highlighted product for more information and images):
Kitchen Scrub Cloth – This cloth is for all the stubborn baked-on, dried-on stains on your kitchen counters, floors, or in your pots, pans and bakeware. It is made of Norwex’s microfiber and is woven with a scrubby nylon that makes it tough enough to remove stubborn grime without scratching the surface. This cloth is so tough you can even use it to remove soap scum in your bathroom!
Rectangular Silicone Bakeware Lid – A superior alternative for disposable plastic wrap and aluminum foil; keeps hot food hot longer and cold foods fresher longer; is oven-, microwave-, dishwasher- and fridge-safe; can create an airtight seal on any stainless steel, glass, plastic or ceramic container with a smooth rim and is made from food-safe silicone rubber!
Pink EnviroCloth with Baclock™ – Did you know why Norwex microfiber is superior? One reason is because of its ability to remove up to 99% of bacteria from a surface when following the proper care and use instructions!!! It is this feature that allows you only need water to clean your home and reduce your need for chemicals. Why all the different colours? It’s not just because individuals prefer different colours, its also so that you can colour coordinate your cleaning jobs.
All-Purpose Kitchen Cloth – Norwex’s classic weave cloth that is good for every job in the kitchen and can be used with or without soap. It cleans kitchen surfaces, removes grease, scrubs pots and pans, removes sticky spots, tackles dirty appliances including your oven, is non-abrasive and absorbent. It will help you reduce your need for paper towel and will make your kitchen sparkling and streak-free without chemicals.
SeaMist Kitchen Cloth with Baclock™ -Most traditional kitchen cloths not very absorbent, only move the bacteria from one surface to the next, require cleaning solution and they are often stinky because of the bacteria they harbour. Norwex Kitchen Cloths will completely clean your kitchen surfaces with only water! They are highly absorbent; scratch-free and lint-free; made from superior microfiber that traps dirt, bacteria and debris; dries quickly; leaves surfaces streak-free and contains Baclock™ agent to inhibit bacteria growth in the cloth.
SeaMist Kitchen Towel with Baclock™ – Constructed with the same superior microfiber as the Kitchen Cloth so it is just as absorbent -perfect for drying lots of Mother’s Day Brunch dishes- as the Kitchen Cloths. It will not harbour bacteria, it dries quickly and matches perfectly with the above mentioned Kitchen Cloth.
I LOVE the Kitchen Towels! They dry so quickly and feel fresh even if I leave the same one hanging on my fridge handle for a week! When I used cotton towels, I had to change them at least once a day because after drying dishes and/or drying so many hands in a day, it would be soaking wet and dirty! ~ Jessica Matthes, USA
Ultra Power Plus Laundry Detergent –I love this detergent! It is pure clean without any fillers, perfumes, dyes, chorines or phosphates. It is so concentrated you only need 1/3 of a scoop per load (twice that for conventional machines), it is so gentle you can use it to clean all your fabrics (even delicates) and it has no fillers to accumulate as build up in your washer, pumps, drain lines or septic tank. It will save you money as well as be easy on your washer and the environment. UPP is also good for other jobs around the house… read this post for UPP solutions.
Hand Cream – Norwex has a beautiful line of personal products, including the Hand Cream! Norwex’s Hand Cream soothes dry, chapped skin on our hands and cuticles with natural emollients from grape seed oil, coconut oil, shea butter, vitamin E and organic aloe vera. Unlike many other hand creams, Norwex’s formula is free from SLS, SLES, parabens, phthalates, mineral oils, propylene glycol, synthetic dyes and animal-derived ingredients. It has a mild scent, is twice certified organic, is perfect for the whole family and is even packaged in a new Polywood container that uses wood fibers from sustainable forestry, instead of plastic packaging.
Window Cloth with Baclock™ – Pair this tightly-woven Norwex microfiber cloth with the EnviroCloth to clean all the surfaces in your home. Use dry… follow a damp EnviroCloth to quickly polish your surfaces. Like the EnviroCloth it is quick-drying and has Baclock™ agent that is designed to inhibit bacterial odor, mold and/or mildew growth on within the cloth. It is a perfect alternative to disposable paper towels and will not leave any residue behind, (like chemicals or cotton fibers) keeping your surfaces cleaner, longer. Isn’t it amazing that you can get your stainless steel appliances, windows, countertops and mirrors all streak-free and shiny without the use of chemicals?
Veggie and Fruit Scrub Cloth – Our fruits and vegetables are sprayed with toxic treatments to protect it from pests and fungal attack and they are also preserved with a wax or oil substance. The Veggie and Fruit Scrub Cloth will allow you to remove the coatings and the dirt from your produce. It has a scrubby side for thicker-skinner produce like apples, carrots and potatoes and a soft side for the more delicate-skinned produce like tomatoes, lettuce and grapes. Be sure to wash all your produce, even the ones you peel, to prevent contaminating the flesh of the produce as you remove the skin. Clean produce is healthier for your family… it’s how it was intended.
Another Graphite Kitchen Towel with Baclock™ – Add another Graphite Kitchen Towel to your collection when $1000 in guest sales is reached at your party.
Dishwashing Liquid – Norwex Dishwashing Liquid is free from toxic ingredients, does a great job cleaning dishes, while being gentle on your skin and the environment. It is has a natural citrus scent from the essential oil of Clementine, is biodegradable and free from phthalates, SLS, SLES and dyes. Ever wonder why “phosphates” are so bad? They are found in many dish soaps and they work to clean dishes, but they can create “dead zones” when we wash them down the drain and into the streams and rivers. They eventually make their way to the ocean where they feed algae and bacteria, which grown uncontrollably, consuming the majority of oxygen in the water causing the fish and other ocean life to suffer.* Small changes in what we do, make a difference!
This reward is based off the number of guests exclusively!! No booking is required and the amount of product sold is irrelevant! The first reward is FREE SHIPPING!!! No one likes shipping costs, so it nice when you get shipping for FREE! The reward generously build from there… Remember, anyone clear across the country can order from you! Have a cousin out east, or a aunt on the island… I’ll send you a link to your party and they can shop and have the products delivered to their home!
This reward is fun!!! As a host, write down your Norwex Wish List so that you will be ready for this reward. Over and above the previous rewards, this reward gives you a percentage to buy whatever is on your wish list based on how much product was sold. For example, if your party sells $550 dollars, you receive, $55 (or 10%) Free Host Dollars to spend. Fun, right?!
I need to share that Norwex is the most generous than any other company I have ever seen or heard of in my life. My hosts are always overwhelmed and shocked by their ‘windfall’ or ‘jackpot’ of free product! In April, one of my hosts had 11 buyings guests and received $814.67 of FREE Norwex product!!! When I submitted her party order on my Norwex website, they sent me this FABULOUS message:
This one is pretty simple…. Each New Booking = A FREE Window Cloth.
Take advantage of Norwex’s FIVE-STAR host rewards!!! Get together and connect with the ones you love and create the opportunity to educate them about how to better their lives by providing them with healthy, environmentally-friendly, superior tools to tackle their day-to-day cleaning needs.

“We are striving to create a legacy to achieve a better quality of life for present and future generations.”
Human activity over the last century has significantly altered our global environment with added pollutants such as chemicals. The negative effects are becoming alarmingly clear and we can no longer ignore nature’s warning signs.
If we work together and take collective responsibility for our planet, we can make a difference! Household pollutants negatively impact our environment and our health. By radically reducing chemicals in our homes, we are actively improving the health of our planet.

The Norwex Purpose touches many facets of life with the end result being the ability to collectively make a powerful and positive difference in the world we live in and the lives we touch. ~ Bjorn Nicolaisen, Norwex Founder and Chairman
