Norwex Customer Specials are the BEST!
The July Norwex Customer specials include: Norwex Microfiber Towels, Essential Oils, and Dryer Balls! This month is all about your skin… instead of about cleaning. Summer months should be about relaxing, renewing and having some fun. Eco-friendly Norwex products will help you do this, while protecting your skin and your environment.
Norwex’s claim to fame is their Superior Microfiber EnviroCloths. They clean with water, their fibers are 1/200th the size of a human hair and they self-purify with Baclock™ micro-silver agent. The Norwex Microfiber Towels and Body Pack cloths are the same… only softer. They are meant for cleaning your delicate skin (not the hard surfaces in your home), so they are made with super-gentle microfiber to pamper your skin as they cleanse.
My family LOVES the Norwex Microfiber Bath Towels… these towels are not your regular towels! To dry your body, simply drape it over your back, then pat your legs and arms. Be gentle, the Norwex Microfiber Towels tender roll if you vigorously rub your body with them. What I LOVE about them… much LESS laundry! Everyone in my family has a Towel hanging in their closet, which they use for an entire week. They don’t smell, they are extremely absorbent, lightweight, quick-to-dry, and they are super-soft and fluffy.
“My husband loves Norwex Microfiber Bath Towels! He was really upset when he had to use a “regular” towel when the NORWEX Towels were in the wash. Now we have several and that is never a problem!” ~ Karen Sickler
The Norwex Body Pack Cloths are designed to cleanse your face and body with just water. In fact, they are one of the very first Norwex Microfiber Products I tried. My sister actually introduced me and when I felt how soft they were and how they gently they exfoliated my skin with just water… PLUS removed all my makeup, I was hooked. There are the best Microfiber Body Cloths around!
You might not think about how you wash your clothes and linens as being part of caring for your skin… but it is! Did you know? Fabric sheets and softeners are loaded with chemicals that are not only harmful to the environment – they are harmful to people as well. Some include benzyl acetate (linked to pancreatic cancer), benzyl alcohol (an upper respiratory tract irritant), ethanol (linked to central nervous system disorders) and chloroform (a neurotoxin and carcinogen) and more.* Our skin is our biggest organ, think about what you wrap it in. Thankfully, you don’t have to use fabric sheets or softeners because the Norwex Fluff and Tumble Balls are a GREAT alternative that are made of 100% wool. They reduce drying time, static cling and wrinkles… and can be used with a couple drops of Essential Oils to naturally scent your laundry.
The Purifying Blend Essential Oil is gorgeous… made from cinnamon, cloves, sweet orange, eucalyptus and a hint of rosemary! Norwex Essential Oils will create a naturally soothing, energizing and purifying environment. Together with the Fluff and Tumble Dryer Balls, your dryer will be chemical-free and your skin will thank you. Check out more ways you can use essential oils in your home:
Norwex always has fabulous customer specials! They often include new and seasonal products… products to help you live green. This month, the Norwex Microfiber cloths and towels are on special, as well as the beautiful Purifying Blend Essential Oil with Dryer Balls. As summer is in full swing and beach days are hopefully in your future, stock up with these Norwex specials to help you enjoy the hot days.

Why did my Dryer Balls crack?
Why did the tips turn back?
How long do Dryer Balls last?
Why would I use Dryer Balls instead of dryer sheets?
How can I get fresh scented laundry without dryer sheets?
I get asked lots of questions about the Norwex Dryer Balls and the Fluff & Tumble Dryer Balls. Hopefully this post will answer any questions you might have about our beloved Norwex Dryer Balls.
Why would I use Dryer Balls instead of dryer sheets?
Answer: According to Scientific American, “traditional dryer sheets and liquid fabric softeners contain some of the most harmful ingredients, including; benzyl acetate (linked to pancreatic cancer), benzyl alcohol (upper respiratory irritant), ethanol (linked to central nervous system disorders) and chloroform (a neurotoxin and carcinogen). As our clothes cover our skin, these ingredients are both inhaled as well as absorbed into our skin.” Norwex’s dryer balls offer a chemical free option…. isn’t that wonderful!!!
Why did my green Dryer Balls crack?
Answer: The green Dryer Balls are made from a high-grade PVC plastic that is sensitive to change in temperature. It expands in the heat and contracts in the cold. The reason Dryer Balls crack is because someone (probably not you) likely left the Dryer Balls in the dryer on a cold day. Think about it, if you leave you dryer balls in the barrel of your dryer they will get cold — almost as cold as outside due to the outside vent attached to your dryer. When you turn your dryer on, it gets hot quickly, causing a drastic temperature change in the dryer ball, sometimes enough to cause it to crack. Solution? Store you dryer balls in your laundry basket.
Why did my green Dryer Ball tips turn black? Are they ruined? Will they stain my clothes?
Answer: Green Dryer Balls will slowly take on the colour from clothing, therefore, turning the tips dark. Don’t worry, they still work like they did when the tips were bright green. In fact, in my house, we have been using the same Dryer Balls for the past 10 years and they are still doing their job! The Dryer Balls will not stain your lighter clothing either… so even if they aren’t as pretty as they used to be, they don’t need replacing.
Why do I still get static?
Answer: Static is caused because hot items are chasing each other around in a confined space… it is physics. The reason that traditional dryer sheets work to reduce static is that they coat the clothing with chemicals which stops them from sticking together. The Norwex Dryer Balls add space clothing to allow for quicker drying (saving you electricity costs & reducing wrinkles) and therefore static can occur if you over dry your laundry. A few static-reducing tips: Reduce your drying time by 25%. Reduce your drying temperature. Remove light weight or synthetic fibers as soon as they are dry, or wash similar fibers together so they dry evenly.
How can I add a fresh scent to my laundry?
Answer: The Norwex Fluff & Tumble Dryer Balls are made from 100% natural wool and are perfect for adding pure essential oils to your laundry for added scent and medicinal benefits. How? After your laundry is dry, remove 2 of the Fluff & Tumble Dryer Balls and apply 2 drops of pure essential oil (like Lavender) onto each ball. Simply rub the Dryer Ball in your hands and toss back in on the air fluff cycle (so you don’t damage the oil) for 10 minutes. Your laundry will smell heavenly.
For heavy soiled and smelly laundry – like from pig or dairy farmers, oil field workers, urine scent from working with children or geriatric patients and even bad sweat scent from working or your workout clothes – there is Odour Eliminator. Just place one capful of this amazing enzyme-based cleaner in with your wash cycle and it will remove all unwanted scent.
Which Dryer Ball is better? The green Dryer Ball of the Fluff & Tumble?
Answer: Check out this previous post for a comparison of Norwex’s Dryer Balls.
Norwex Dryer Balls a wonderful, effective, environmentally-friendly tool to reduce the chemicals in your laundry room. Have any more questions not covered here? Leave a comment!

What is the difference between Norwex Dryer Balls and Fluff & Tumble Dryer Balls?
The question is a good one. Let me first explain why dryer balls are a good idea.
PROBLEM: Staticy Clothes… especially during the dry, winter months. It’s physics! When hot dry items chase each other around in a contained drum… static electricity happens.
SOLUTION: The supermarket has a very effective product…. dryer sheets. The reason they work is because they coat our clothing with chemicals that reduce or eliminate static.
DID YOU KNOW? Our clothes cover the largest organ in our bodies… our skin. “According to Scientic American, some of the most harmful ingredients in dryer sheets and liquid fabric softeners include benzyl acetate (linked to pancreatic cancer), benzyl alcohol (an upper respiratory irritant), ethanol (linked to central nervous system disorders) and chloroform (a neurotoxin and carcinogen).”
Not to mention that Dryer Sheets take years to break down in our landfills and add toxins to the soil.
NORWEX SOLUTION: Norwex offers a chemical-free solution for washing and drying clothes. The Ultra Plus Laundry Detergent is an amazing highly-concentrated, superior-stain-fighting, 100% biodegradable, phosphate & filler-free detergent and when coupled with one of our dryer balls, laundry becomes another chemical free area in your home.
So which dryer ball is best for you? Here is the comparison:
The Dryer Balls are a fantastic, durable, long-lasting (I’ve used the same Dryer Balls for the past 10 years) option. But if you prefer a dryer ball that does all that the Dryer Ball does, plus is 100% natural wool and has the ability to add essential oils to your laundry, then the Fluff & Tumble is the dryer ball for you. The third option is to use both. Why? The more dryer balls you have in your dryer, the more spaces you put between your clothes and the faster they dry. This reduces drying time, which save you time & money.
Check back soon, as I will be exploring other frequency asked questions about our Dryer Balls on a later post…. Why did the tips turn dark? Why did my dryer balls crack? Why am I struggling with static? What can I do to make my laundry smell great?
