Whether your mess is big or small, the Carpet Stain Buster is the solution! It comes with a handy spray nozzle trigger and is a “MUST-HAVE” product if you have kids or pets in your home! This product works remove stains from food, drink, bodily fluids, you name it! Even if the spoiled surface is a new or old stain, the enzymes will be activated and will start to work.
Here are couple of my favourite testimonies from my customers with and pets:
Last year a friend and her dog came over to my condo for a visit. The one room that had white carpet was of course where the dog decided she wasn’t feeling so great and had a very big accident! My friend and I quickly ran to the store to buy carpet cleaner for pet messes, we cleaned it as best we could but it was still very clear that an accident happened. Next I borrowed a Bisell carpet spot steam cleaner. I tried this numerous times on numerous days and still could clearly see the big spot. After attending a Norwex party I decided to try the Carpet Stain Buster… I was really excited to see if it would work. I used the stain remover once and it was truly the best thing I’ve ever seen. I could instantly tell what a difference it was making but not only that, over time it kept working and the stain was completely gone. I will never use another carpet cleaning product and would recommend this to absolutely everyone I know!!” ~ Krystle Yaghi
Sorry Delores. It is a bit long winded and kind of gross but it shows how awesome it really is:
The first time I tried the Carpet Stain Buster, my medium-sized dog had left 3 giant piles of diarrhea on my light-coloured basement carpet. By the time I found the mess, it was dried and the carpet was disgusting. I removed the solidified part of the mess and began to tackle what was left. I grabbed my Bissell carpet cleaner and gave it a good cleaning. That only helped minimally. I grabbed a household cleaner, diluted it in warm water and scrubbed at the stains and rinsed it with my carpet cleaner. That lightened it a little. I tried a clothing stain remover. That did nothing. I was running out of options and had spent way too much time scrubbing my carpet. I was starting to think the stains would never go away. And there was still a slight hint of poop smell left behind too. I told my sister in law about my problem and she had yet another product for me to try. Norwex Carpet Stain Buster. I was a bit of a Norwex sceptic but thought to myself, “what do I have to lose? I have tried everything else”. I sprayed the carpet and let it sit while I did some other stuff. When I came back, I couldn’t believe my eyes! The stain was already almost gone before I could even scrub it! I scrubbed the stains and treated the area again and now you can’t tell where it was or smell that it ever happened. Since then, the carpet spray has removed vomit, more dog-related messes and many more spills and stains. I truly believe that this product has saved me from replacing my carpets. Every house should have a bottle or two in the cupboard to rescue them from life’s little accidents. This product has been an absolute life saver for me.” ~ Kathryn Debree — Dog Groomer
Anyone have a hunter in their family? I have received testimonies from customers who use the Carpet Stain Buster to remove dried-on blood stains from camouflage jackets, pants etc… By time the hunter gets home from the bush, the blood stains may seem permanent, but simply spray the Carpet Stain Buster over the affected area, let it sit for 20 minutes, and then launder. Thanks to many of my veteran hunting wives, all the staining come out of the beloved camo.
Do you have a story to share about the Carpet Stain Buster? Please comment below.

Camping is one of my family’s favourite things to do together. If you are a camper or have a cabin, there is nothing that compares. Every family has their favourite camping spots, hiking trails and lucky fishing holes, favourite campfire snack and ‘remember when’ stories. Getting away from it all is just the best.
As we all know, one thing you can’t get away from, is the mess. Camping is wonderful, but it also requires a lot of cleaning after the fun is done. Dirty feet, dirty dishes, sticky gooey marshmellow fingers, more dirty dishes, are all things that Norwex can help make easier to clean when you are getting away from it all.
I will highlight a few items for your RV and Cabin needs:
The Entry Mat – It is extremely absorbent and stops the dirt and the toxins before they can get into your travel trailer. It works because it has scrubby strips embedded into the mat to remove debris from the bottom of your footwear or from your pet’s paws.
Bottle Brush – A travel mug is a must for any coffee or tea drinker and especially when you are out camping. At home, a travel mug can save countless disposable cups and while camping, it is perfect for keeping your beverage hot. One of the biggest issues with travel mugs is getting the inside clean… like really clean, not just rinsed out. The bottle brush will quickly become one of your favourite kitchen tools to clean your travel mugs or coffee pots. I have one in my kitchen at home and in my travel trailer.
Dish Mat – This drying mat is fantastic! You can see it laying here, on my travel trailer stovetop. It adds a little extra surface to my counter, is very compact, extremely absorbent, it never smells, and dries quickly.
Kitchen Towel – Most of us don’t have the luxury of a dishwasher while camping. You need absorbent tea towels. And absorbent tea towel, sounds like oxymoron to many. That is not the case with the Norwex’s Kitchen Towels. So when you have too many dishes to air dry on your Dish Mat, grab a Kitchen Towel and get to work. You will be amazed how many dishes will get done. My favourite testimony was from a customer whose dishwasher quit on Thanksgivings day and she was given the opportunity to put her Kitchen Towels to the test. For a 35-person dinner, they only needed two towels to dry all the dishes, the pots and pans, all the ways down to the fine wine glasses. If they can tackle the Thanksgiving dinner dishes, they can tackle the dinner dishes at the campsite.
The Kitchen Towels are available in 8 different colours.
Peppermint Foaming Hand Wash – This foaming hand wash is scented with peppermint, smells amazing and will conserve water. Simply take a pump of this peppermint foam soap into your hands and lather for 60 seconds then turn on the water to simply remove the excess moisture soap from your hands. Your travel trailer water tank will thank you! It’s even available in a refill size so you can simply pour the foam soap solution into any foam soap dispenser. The soap is not antibacterial, as antibacterial hand soaps are now proven to reduce your immune system. This is just clean and simple.
Bath Towel – Whether you’re on the lake for the day, or you’re showering in your travel trailer or cabin, Norwex Bath Towels are awesome. Norwex towels are compact, incredibly absorbent, imbedded with silver to stop bacteria growth and dry quickly. Boat owners love these towels, because they dry so quickly! These towels are available in multiple colors and sizes.
The Bath Towels are available in 4 different sizes & 4 different colours.
Superior Mini Mop Collection – For all the sand and debris that gets past your Entry Mat (like sand in the cuff of your kids’ shorts), the Norwex Superior Mini Mop is the perfect solution. It is lightweight, compact, and extremely efficient! Once or twice a day, simply zip over the smooth surfaces to collect all the debris leaving a spotless service – ready for the next time. Use your Norwex Rubber Brush to remove all the collected hair, dirt, sand, grass and debris. Keep it simple, quick and easy!
Living in our trailer with three girls, I can collect a pile like this two or three times a day.
This is where I store my mop. It stands perfectly behind the toilet and never falls down, even while we drive down the road. It’s quick and easy to dry or wet mop the floor when needed. If you’re thinking, ” why on earth is she wet mopping her RV?” The answer is: dirty feet, a puppy and dripping freezie juice!! Life happens!
Camping with your Norwex products will give you another reason to get away more often. Happy Camping!

Our homes collect dust. Dust is made up of all sorts of stuff – organic stuff like dead skin, but also toxic stuff from our environment. Although spring cleaning includes dusting because of how wonderful it feels when the dusting is done, but it should also be done as a fight against toxins in our homes. The EWG or Environmental Working Group is a nonprofit organization whose mission is “to empower people to live healthier lives in a healthier environment”. They conducted studies to reveal the dirt about dust in our homes. They found that dust,
“is a place where harmful chemicals are found. One recent study by the Silent Spring Institute identified 66 endocrine-disrupting compounds in household dust tests, including flame retardants, home-use pesticides, and phthalates.
The chemicals in your dust originate from both inside and outside your house:
1 Products inside your house “shed” chemicals over time — furniture, electronics, shoes, plastics, fabrics and food, among other things.
2 Outdoor pollutants enter on your shoes and through open and cracked windows and doors.
Once inside, the contaminants in indoor dust degrade more slowly (if at all) than they would outside in the environment where moisture and sunlight typically break them down.
One type of toxic chemical commonly found in household dust is chemical flame retardants (aka PBDEs). As highly flammable synthetic materials have replaced less-combustible natural materials, PBDEs have been added to thousands of everyday products, including computers, TVs and furniture — among many others.”
The EWG cautions that young children are at a higher risk of being exposed to these toxins because they spend most of their time playing on the floor putting their little fingers and anything they grab into their mouthes… so let’s get started and remove dust without adding any more chemicals.
Walls – First you will need to wash your walls from fingerprint height and lower (everything above this height is just dust) using a well-wrung Enviro Cloth. For any scuffs use a small square of a Micro Cleaning Hand Pad and give it a scrub. For dusting, lock the head on your Mop, attach the dry head (yellow), and dust all the way to the ceiling.
Wood Furniture – Put a Dusting Mitt on each hand- the faster you can dust the better- and give the dusting mitts one spray of water. It will remove all the dust, finger prints, coffee marks etc. and leave the furniture streak free.
Doors – Put a Dusting Mitt on each hand, spray with one squirt of water clean the details in your doors beautifully.
Blinds – Put a Dusting Mitt on each hand and hold the blind with one hand and rub along the face and underside of each slat. The mitts will hold a lot of dust while leaving your slats clean.
Watch how:
Door Frames – Bend the EnviroWand in an upside “U” and drag along the tops of your door frames.
Pictures Frames – Put a Dusting Mitt on each hand and hold the frame with one hand and dust with the other.
Light Fixtures & Ceiling Fans – Bend your EnviroWand and give it a squirt of water and gently remove all the dust from those fixtures.
Done!
Remember your EnviroWand can bend and flex, so give it a squirt of water and sneak it into areas you have never dusted before.
Between the Dusting Mitts and the EnviroWand you will be able to dust the majority of the surfaces in your home. Isn’t that amazing?

With the long-waited spring season comes the long-waited barbecue season! Spring cleaning would not be complete without getting one of our favourite “tools” clean. As the BBQ works hard during the summer months to supply mouthwatering meals, I would like to show you a biodegradable, all-natural but tough cleaning system for your BBQ that works FANTASTIC! It is one that you will feel comfortable cooking dinner on, right after you clean it.
Roll your BBQ onto a tarp or a used newspaper to avoid staining your deck — this is a greasy and sometimes drippy job.
Heat your BBQ to its lowest setting, approximately 150 degrees, turn off.
Spray the BBQ racks including the upper racks with Oven & Grill Cleaner, close the lid and let sit for five minutes.
Grab a small bowl of water and a use a Spirinett to scrub across the face of the BBQ racks. This stainless steel ball will remove all the burnt on deposits and make your racks clean and shiny.
To finish the job, use an well-wrung EnviroCloth to wipe both the outside of the BBQ and the racks inside that you just scrubbed.
Bring your EnviroCloth to a sink and rinse well; rub it on itself to remove the majority of the grease.
Put your BBQ back in its original spot – ready for your next BBQ!
Done!
While we are outside let’s continue our “get it done” spring cleaning, by getting started on the windows. Our windows collect dirt, debris, whatever hit your window or what they left behind and creates another spring cleaning job. I would like to show you a simple method to maintain clean windows in your home that doesn’t not require paper towel or chemicals.
Box the outside edge of your window with a well-wrung, flat-folded EnviroCloth.
Wipe the remainder of your window with the same EnviroCloth. Spray your window with a little water if you find the moisture is evaporating too quickly.
Use your flat-folded WindowCloth to polish the window – leaving a streak-free and shiny window.
Done!
For high windows:
Attach a well-wrung EnviroCloth to your Mop System head – after you have attached your wet mop pad (leaving it dry) – with the clip system.
Lock the head of the mop so it doesn’t swivel.
With an up and down motion, clean your window.
Replace EnviroCloth with a Window Cloth. When your Window Cloth is dry you can only work in an upwards motion. So give your window a squirt of water and polish from the base to the top of your window.
Done!
Lastly, we will clean our patio furniture. Patio furniture is one of those things that gets dirty just by sitting there – not even being used. But we want to use them this spring!!! Again, this is a job that usually calls for paper towel and windex, but the Norwex method will eliminate the use of paper or chemicals. Even your kids can be the boss of the patio cleaning. So, let’s get started.

While we may not see the impact of our decisions now, our children and grandchildren certainly will. We need to develop a mindset of change for the better, and it is for this reason that I love my job! Like John Muir, I find that, “When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe.” Our choices today, are writing our future.
Here is an eye opening study done by Simon Fraser University, their finding are remarkable. Watch: Little Things Matter: The Impact of Toxins on the Developing Brain.
It is my heart’s desire is to make a difference, one home at a time. In 2006, no one in my community had a clue what Norwex was. But back then, our hospitals, nursing homes and health care workers were struggling with a Norwalk virus outbreak. So, when I would say “Norwex”, they would ask “Norwalk?” Literally no one knew what Norwex was, it was unheard of.
However, Norwex is now becoming a common household brand name! I am delighted to do presentations for all types of families. I have grandparents putting away their traditional window-cleaning sprays, mothers and fathers abandoning their use of paper towels and young couples wanting to set up their new homes with ONLY Norwex products.
Young brides were teenage girls less than a decade ago, attending their mother’s first Norwex presentations when I first began as a consultant. Now, they are ready to start families of their own, and Norwex is the only way they want to clean their homes. It is my goal to educate this upcoming generation, and show them they are able to clean effectively without the use of harmful chemicals!
I am just one person, but my one shift to switch to the Norwex product line, is now linked to thousands of home across North America who have now made the same shift. That is humbling. One person can make a difference. I never would have guessed that my desire to teach others would have this ripple effect. You can have the same impact as Norwex is underrepresented across North America. You have your own contacts, friends and family whom you can educated. Join my team today! I would be happy to train you. How many homes will you give the gift of Norwex to? How will you impact their quality of life?
The testimonials which Norwex consultants receive weekly from their customers are evidence that these products are positively impacting the environments of those using them. One of my greatest satisfactions is knowing that our girls have no recollection of toxic cleaning chemicals in our home. When they help me at Tradeshows, they explain that the mop pad we are currently using in our home, is the original one we purchased over 10 years ago… and it still works!

It is often tragedy in our lives that causes us to want to lead healthier lives; tragedy tends to bring about change. Few around the world have been fortunate enough to have been unaffected by cancer, allergies, or disease. Prior to the Industrial Revolution, cancer affected 1 in 87,000. Today, cancer is present in 1 in 3 people, and 150 chemicals found in the home are connected to allergies, birth defect, cancer and psychological disorders*
In 2000, I had my wake up call. My dad was diagnosed with cancer and passed away six weeks later. Born and raised on our family farm, we had all been blessed with perfect health. My dad’s sudden passing was a shock! We had grown our own vegetables, raised our own beef, grew chickens for meat and eggs, and drank milk straight from the dairy cows. Mom had us ‘canning and jamming’ every fall. The water in our taps ran off the local glacier. Our diet would be perfectly described as what is now often referred to as “Clean Eating”. However aside from preparing our own food, we were unaware that how we tended to some areas of the farm could be harmful to us in the long run. We stained the fences and then washed our hands and arms with farm gas, mixed fertilizer with our bare hands, and inhaled and absorbed all sorts of chemicals inside and outside of our home.
Sir Tom Blundell, Chair of the Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution, said, “Given our understanding of the way chemicals interact with the environment, we are running a gigantic experiment with humans and all other things living”. And indeed, we are. We are the human guinea pigs of many major chemical companies, and in turn, need to ask ourselves how these products will affect us in the years to come.
Research done by Dr. Dick Irwin, a Toxicologist of Texas A&M University, has proven that “Chemicals have replaced bacteria as the main threat to health. The diseases we are beginning to see as the major causes of death in the latter part of (the 1900’s) and into the 21st century are diseases of chemical origin.” Thankfully, Norwex allows to us to move forward into a brighter, healthier, and chemical-free future.
Whether you purchase your cleaning products from store aisles stocked with chemical-containing products or from a company like Norwex, it is your choice how to maintain your home and body. We all are exposed to a myriad of chemicals daily, but the only environment we can truly control is that within our own homes. Use of Norwex product is an easy way to radically reduce your exposure to chemicals within your home and ultimately improve the health of you and your family. While we cannot prevent illnesses from occurring, we can certainly be conscientious about the choices we make for ourselves and our loved ones.
It has become my mission to educate home owners that they have other options in the cleaning of their homes. I believe when consumers are taught that cleaning can be effective and efficient with the use of natural products, they will definitely choose Norwex!
One home at a time, I will spread the word. As a team of consultants we are on a global assignment to be good caretakers of this earth and to help others do the same.
