Do you have a swinging shower door that drips water on your bathroom floor? Do you walk around your washroom with wet feet after a shower? Do your kids vigorously splash in the tub, leaving the floor a wet mess? Do you have a hot tub or swimming pool in the backyard and people traipsing through your home with wet feet? Do you have a puppy that comes in with wet paws and coat? Does your toddler throw cups of water out of the bath or does your baby’s thunder thigh make BIG splashes? Do you have a busy shower with teenagers and the bathmat is always wet? Are you just tired to bending over to dry your own feet after a shower? Maybe you have a senior in your life that can’t reach their own toes?
The Norwex Bath Mat is the solution! It holds 10 times its weight in moisture. That’s enough to catch drips off the door, dry many wet feet, absorb bath water spills, even dry the family pet. It is also absorbent enough to ensure that every family member’s feet are dry when they step off the mat. The moisture between your toes is even wicked up within seconds of stepping on the mat. To top it off, the Norwex Bath Mat dries faster than a regular bathmat. This Bath Mat is pure luxury!
The picture below is of my friend’s lovely feet stepping on a Norwex Bath Mat. She lives by the ocean – lucky girl – and makes good use of her mat. She used the shower head to drench her feet 5 times to be able to make her foot imprint visible. The first 4 times the mat didn’t even look wet. It is that absorbent!!!!
Do you have an RV? Did you know that the floor of your RV should not get wet. Wet floors could damage the floor by causing it to lift. Place the Bath Mat on the floor by your shower and every family member will walk out of the RV washroom with dry feet.
Have a outdoor swimming pool or hot tub? Put the Bath Mat at your back entrance to catch the drips and dry wet feet before they even enter the house. Do you have a washroom that is regularly visited after using the pool? Use the Bath Mat as your toilet mat to catch all the drips while in the washroom.
This Bath Mat is a top-seller for pet owners. It has so many uses. The Bath Mat can be used to line the bottom of the crate, not only does it dry your pet’s coat, it absorbs any accidents. Simply throw it in the washing machine, with a cap full Odour Eliminator and some UPP Ultra Plus Power Detergent and it will come out perfectly clean. If your dog comes indoors wet, lay the Bath Mat over their bed for them to lay on. The microfiber will absorb all the wet moisture off their coat, leaving the pet bed dry and clean.
I just returned from the Norwex North American Conference in Minneapolis and I am delighted to share that this fabulous bathmat is now available in three colors.
Another quick puppy paw trick: Hang a Norwex Dusting Mitt by the door to dry your puppy’s paws and legs when they come in after a long walk. Your hardwood or tiled floors will never be paw-printed again!

I’ve had the opportunity to work with so many wonderful customers and hosts… meeting new people is one of the favourite parts of my job! Here’s what they have to say about our experience together.
Enjoy Clean Living – Host a Norwex Presentation
I love working with Delores for my Norwex products. She is very knowledgeable about the entire product line, is very professional and walks you through every step of your party. You are sure to have a successful party if Delores is involved!
~ Pam Depeel
I was recently introduced to the Norwex products through a house party that one of my friends hosted. Many of the ladies at the party had experienced the amazing products previously and were raving over the products and what they love about them. I soon too was amazed at the wonders these cloths could work!
As I tallied up all of the products I wanted to buy, I realized it would be beneficial to host my own party- and I am so glad I did because it was a huge success! I earned all of the products I wanted, and was able to share the knowledge of these cloths with my network.
Delores was fabulous to work with… she was very accommodating, organized, helpful, sincere and helped host a very fun party! All of my guests enjoyed the party and felt it was more of a get together as opposed to a sales pitch.
I love my Norwex product and found the party hosting to be a fun evening that inevitably resulted in success!
~ Danielle Saina
Having a Norwex party hosted by Delores was truly a blast! In between the learning and testing of products, there was much laughter. It felt like a girlfriends night away. We all walked away with a head full of new knowledge, some amazing products I am proud to use in my home and some fun memories of a great night.
~ Donna Kuzio
I’ve been using Norwex for 3-4 years. My favorite product is the Descaler, but more recently, I love the Cleaning Paste! With the Descaler, it makes cleaning the bathroom so much easier with no smell. As for the cleaning paste, recently I was cleaning my siding on my house. There were marks I could not get off so I thought I’d try the cleaning paste. They came off. So the cleaning paste you can use for just about anything.
When I hosted a show with Delores, the most memorable part of the presentation was how comfortable she made me and our guests feel and how knowledgeable she is about the product. The product really sells itself, and I loved how much free product I received – over $1,000.00. Thank you!

We all get tired and have stiff muscles, from time to time, for different reasons. From driving all day, to sitting at your computer, due to a headache, from dealing with your kids, or simply from sore muscles. What if I told you that Norwex has an amazing organic remedy.
You need to try the Timeless Relaxation Rescue Gel! It is 99.78% organic, made with Chamomile, Menthol, Camphor, Devil’s Claw and Arnica Montana extract. It is alcohol-free, gluten-free, paraben- and petroleum-solvents-free, gmo-free and artificial-colour-free. Plus, it has never been tested on animals. That means that it is safe to use and definitely won’t add any stress to your life. Simply, open the container and wave it under your nose, inhaling the crisp aromatic botanicals. Next roll across your temples, neck and shoulders and any other tension points like knees, wrists or feet. Soon you will be relieved from your daily stressors that will last.
Long haul truck drivers love this stuff! When you start feeling tired from a long drive, you might be tempted to drink another cup of coffee…but as we all know coffee is a diuretic and that will create more pit stops. Here is a better solution. When you are dehydrated, drink water. When you are tired, apply some Timeless Relaxation Rescue Gel to your neck and shoulders and keep on driving. You will feel renewed.
Do you endure long flights? Or does flying make you nervous? The Timeless Relaxation Rescue Gel is the perfect size to slip into your purse or bag, it is customs approved, and it will help you relax and refresh you for the flight.
Many people sit at their desk in front of their computer for hours. Stiff sore shoulders and tense neck muscles are very common. Apply the Timeless Relaxation Rescue Gel onto your shoulder blades and up your neck. Enjoy the tingling sensation you can feel the increased blood flow and it relaxes your muscles. I have a group of customers that all work in the same office — one women started applying the Timeless Relaxation Rescue Gel at 2:00 p.m. each day and convinced her whole office to try. Now, all of the employees in that department have a bottle on their desk. They feel it invigorates them for the rest of their day and pushes them through a tired afternoon of working on the computer all day. When someone is acting irritable, their fellow staff members tell them to go roll some Rescue Gel on.
The amazing scent alone of Timeless Relaxation Rescue Gel is relaxing. If you experience headaches or migraines this product is for you! Roll it around the crown of your forehead down to your temples. Put a dab of it behind each of your ears, and roll it up and down your neck and shoulder muscles. Give it a couple minutes and the tingling sensation will begin. Your sense of touch also plays a role in stress relief, so relax as you role the Rescue Gel ball across your muscles. The results are amazing!
Public speaking is known to be one of people’s greatest fears. I was at a conference once where a woman was asked to speak. She entered the stage in her petite gorgeous shimmering dress complete with stylish stilettos. She looked calm and collected but she spoke with nervousness into the mic. Her opening line was priceless, “for an event like this I need a little Timeless Relaxation Rescue Gel to calm my nerves.” The room erupted it in laughter as she pulled the little bottle out from her cleavage and applied it behind her ears and down her neck to collect herself.
Do you ever have a hard time falling asleep because of the heat of the day has settled into your home? Some homes have the luxury of air conditioning, but for hot summer nights, everyone needs a little rescue gel. Roll it onto the bottom of your feet as well as on your neck and behind your ears; the cooling sensation and the lovely scent will lull you to sleep!
A fellow Norwex consultant has a great testimony for her son who has down syndrome. He was struggling with restlessness at night that inhibited him from sleeping. His mom started the tradition of rolling the Timeless Relaxation Rescue Gel on the bottom of his feet. He loved the scent which relaxed him, and his mom was delighted that for first time in years he was happy to crawl into bed and able to settle down to sleep.
The Timeless Relaxation Rescue Gel can also be used to sooth chronic pain. I was traveling with a group of ladies, and one was struggling with tennis elbow. She regularly pulled out her rescue gel for relief. What a fantastic idea!
Does your yard work take you hours? Sore lower back, stiff and tight muscles. After a long day working outside, sit down, put your feet up with a cold beverage and roll on the relief!
There are so many reasons we have stress in our lives. This product is so fantastic I have it in my vehicle, at my desk and on my night table! Try it, you will not be disappointed!

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.

This post is not for those with a weak stomach, but it is for those with real-life troubles, like throw up in the middle of the night on your carpet and other undesirable areas and a real-life, non-toxic solution from Norwex.
Our family was invited to a celebration that went late into the evening. Our youngest daughter had enjoyed many treats which were left out and was encouraged to filled her plate. What 11-year-old doesn’t like great snacks? Unfortunately, later that night at quarter past midnight, Doug and I both heard her in the washroom. In all our 16 years of parenting we had never seen the sight that we were about to find. All three of our girls have been good at either hitting the toilet, or grabbing the throw up bucket located in the hallway closet. Occasionally some vomit would hit the bed, or the carpet, but we had never seen anything like this. This came on way too fast and furious for her to react. As she crawled out of bed it exploded across her room. It hit everything including her bed, carpet, down the mirror, walls and curtains, everything. With a slight break in the heaving, she managed to make it to the washroom. Standing on the edge of the carpet, it struck again. The projectile vomit reached from the edge of bathroom door all to the way to the wall by the toilet paper. Luckily, the majority of it landed on linoleum, but it was pooling everywhere. It was on the baseboards, down the white cabinetry, on the shower curtain, all over the toilet, even running down the walls. A friend of ours who was once a doctor in the pediatric emergency ward told us that since it came on so quickly it was likely food poisoning. It’s short, but explosive! Thankfully her last bout hit the bucket.
If you’ve ever been in the same situation you know how we felt. First, it requires all hands on deck! Second, it requires comforting and cleaning up the child. Third, it requires tackling the clean up. For those with weak stomachs, the aroma is sometimes enough to make them want to vomit. After Doug and I assessed the damage, we each picked an area. I was thankful Doug tackled the carpet and I tackled the rest.
When things like this happen in my life, I wonder what on earth do people do without Norwex? Our home was converted over 10 years ago and I can’t imagine our lives without it.
This is the alternative. When our daughter was in grade one, another kid got sick at school. When our daughter informed the custodian, he came armed with his mop and bucket … but the bucket of smelly water smelled worse than the kid’s vomit. Our family home is a chemical-free zone. Our school is not. Our society has affiliated the smell of chemicals with cleanliness. But chemicals are dangerous for us to inhale because when we inhale, we ingest and absorb the chemicals into our bodies. Vomit is gross, but the tradition chemicals used to clean them up, is toxic. Hence the scull and cross bones. Just because it’s pictured on many household bottles, that shouldn’t alarm us less.
So how did we clean up our massive midnight disaster? You may laugh, but I considered taking before and after photos, but reconsidered in order to spare both you and I.
Step One: Get a bucket, a large spoon and scoop up the mess.
Step Two: Cleaning the linoleum. Grab an
EnviroCloth and pour the magical enzyme-based solution
Odour Eliminator into a sink of hot water. The worst thing about vomit is the strong stench and slime. This odour eliminator is unbelievable, it works to eliminator the odour as you work to clean the mess. The enzymes imediately go to work to totally get rid of the odour that fills the room. If you are the one who is sick, you’ll especially appreciate scent of the Odour Eliminator, as the smell of the vomit alone can make you throw up again.
Tip: Use the Odour Eliminator as a air freshener by diluting with water in a water spray bottle (1:7). This is a chemical-free replacement for aerosol and spray bathroom fresheners.
Step Three: Launder the bedding, blankets and stuffed animals. Use Norwex
Ultra Plus Power (UPP) Laundry Detergent and a cap full of Odour Eliminator. The enzymes of the Odour Eliminator together with the UPP Laundry Detergent will work to get your linens fresh again. There is no need for chemical-laden-scented fabric softeners to freshen the laundry.
Step Four: Cleaning the carpet. Our carpet is ivory and therefore we have a handy little carpet cleaner. Put a cap full of Norwex’s UPP Laundry Detergent into your machine. Once you have gone over the surface, grab your Norwex enzyme-based
Carpet Stain Buster. This is an amazing product. It is not designed to give you instant results. It is an enzyme, it works over time giving you long-term effective results. After the mess is cleaned up and you are left with the stuborn stain, mist the Carpet Stain Buster over the affected areas and walk away. Let it sit on the surface and the live enzymes will be activated by the organic matter and will remove the stains in the upcoming hours.
Done!
Read this testimony from a Norwex customer.
“My son threw up in the middle of the night all over our cream-coloured carpet. I grabbed the first carpet cleaner off the shelf, a Super Market brand, and used that to scrub the carpet. A week later the carpet was still stained. I took the Norwex Carpet Stain Buster and used that instead of the other brand and within a week the stains were completely gone! As you had explained to me before, I believe it is because the enzymes keep working until they have nothing else to “eat up” and I think this story proves that!”
