With over 9 years of educating others about the product… I have heard a lot of testimonials!! I lead an amazing team of consultants and collectively we share the amazing stories and testimonials about Norwex products from our consultants and customers. As a team, we have heard all sorts of ways to use Norwex products that aren’t in the brochures, but are so valuable to help others find solutions to the cleaning challenges. Today’s post is all about the Ultra Power Plus Laundry Detergent, affectionately known as UPP! It’s name does not do the product justice as you will read… these testimonials I have collected attest to the superior ability of Norwex’s UPP!
Stainless Steel Appliances:
I did a presentation for a newly wed couple and they had picked up a free dishwasher off Kijiji. The lady giving it away couldn’t stand the smudges and smear marks all over the stainless steal surface. My host was beyond delighted when I simply removed all the buildup and oil film off the appliance with ease. At another party, my host had a very high end, triple wide stainless steal range hood. From the date of installation, there was a oily film across the centre of this beautiful kitchen centre piece. Both my host and her husband were thrilled I was able to remove it!
“I was at a party where I made a solution of UPP with water, dipped my wet EnviroCloth into the solution and amazingly it took off 6 years of water stain drips on the hosts dishwasher that she could not remove. She gave me the biggest hug!!” ~Deenie Gross
“My past hostess used diluted UPP and an EnviroCloth to remove 4 years worth of stainless steel cleaner residue from her fridge!” ~Stephanie Jones
Clothes Stains:
Do you have any shirts with pit staining? Well, this is an amazing solution!! Simply create a mixture of UPP with water and apply to the affected area. Run it through the washing machine and it will shock you!! I have a young 20-year-old customer, who attended 6 shows in 8 months. She fell in love with everything!! At one presentation she was wearing a cute top, only to lift up her arm and share that the pit stains she had on this favorite shirt, which she had hid under jackets and throws, were totally gone!!
“My daughter’s white dress have a chocolate stain that was from July!!! I made a paste with the UPP and it let it sit overnight. Completely got rid of it!” ~ Natasha Sandoval
“Cleaned coffee that was spilled on my brand new shirt. Dipped it in the water mixed with UPP and it came right out!!” ~ Kathryn Debree
Furniture Stains:
“Dilute the UPP in water in a spray bottle and clean microfiber furniture. Works amazing.” ~ Jessica Aten
Norwex Microfiber Cloths:
“I tried the ‘deep clean’ where you fill a wash basin tub with boiling water, add a scoop of UPP, add a pile of Norwex EnviroCloths and let soak. Whoa, I was shocked at how much came out of my microfiber! Some cloths I added were clean, right from the drawer. BEST way to revitalize older cloths, for sure!” ~ Kathy-Sue Dyrland
From: Summer Shessel
“This is a gross picture of my Travel EnviroCloth. I didn’t have time to boil it so I just put the kettle on and then filled a small bowl with the boiling water a 1/2 tsp of UPP, dropped in the cloth and put a lid on it. Came back a an hour or so later after running errands and this is what the water looked like. Gross! My cloth is so clean now… like new.” ~ Summer Shessel
Jewelry Cleaner:
“Ladies cleaned their rings at a party. Simply, diluted UPP, soak for a few moments, use a toothbrush. (Norwex or another one, I do not use the Norwex toothbrush here, because I talk about saving the best toothbrush for your teeth)” ~ Jenilee Garnish
Oven Racks:
“I have spent 40 years cleaning my oven and never been able to get my oven racks completely clean, especially without half a day of scrubbing. I put the racks in the tub with a teaspoon of UPP and voila, shiny, clean and just like new! Used the Spirinett with no effort to take off the really bad spots. Love it!” ~ Cathie Luxon-Hines
Sheets:
“Takes the oils out of my massage sheets! And of course my scrubs for massage!” ~ Jessie Brooke
“I think I’ve shared this before but it applies…My daughter covered my beige comforter in a full tube of red lipstick! I made a paste with the UPP and the Stain Remover and brushed it in with a nail brush, then I washed it in the washing machine. I had small flecks left so I repeated and viola!” ~ Jordana Fast
Flip Flops & Shower Curtains:
The UPP is certainly an extremely versatile product. Here are a couple of my favourites which haven’t been mentioned: 1) Cleaning my Flip Flop sandals. These are the most comfortable footwear with great bling – but the base has texture which collects dust. Nothing cleans them faster then an EnviroCloth dipped in diluted UPP!! They look like NEW in seconds!! 2) I’ll fill our largest juice container with water and diluted UPP, set it on the edge or our tub and soak the shower curtain! Works AMAZING!!
Carpets:
My sister has a white area rug in her home and she added some UPP to the carpet cleaning machine, and it made the area rug look like new!!
“I put the UPP in my carpet steam vac and cleaned my microfiber couch.” ~ Tina Whitman-Neubecker

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.

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!” ~ Amanda Mackney — Mom

Do crayon, marker and scuff marks decorate your walls? What about soap scum on your bathtubs and shower stalls? Many scrubbers are too abrasive, cleaning chemicals are toxic, and a cloth just doesn’t fix your problems.
I can relate. As a mother of three creative girls, I know what it’s like to feel as if I need to walk behind them scrubbing their trail as they go.
My good friend Carole’s daughter has had a love for art since the age of 3, which became evident when she decided to draw on the basement walls of their home. She told her mom she was making them look “prettier”.
It makes me laugh thinking about how children’s brains function; their imaginations are so precious and it is something I wholeheartedly believe should be encouraged, no matter what. However, freshly painted walls are also something you wouldn’t want to ruin…
Norwex’s Micro Cleaning Hand Pads are a safe and effective alternative to leading brand cleaning erasers; products you don’t want to leave lying around your kids.
These cleaning pads are eco-friendly and chemical-free, unlike many similar products.
They will not cause skin irritation or absorb toxins into your skin while in use!
This product is tough on stubborn stains, yet less abrasive than a scrubber.
Works great on easy-to-scratch surfaces such as: walls, plastic furniture, tile, and most kitchen and bathroom surfaces.
They are great for erasing scuff marks from the: linoleum floor, trim, molding, baseboards, interior consoles, and dashboards, patio furniture etc…
Works with little pressure applied.
How to Use:
Cut a piece off the pad – since it disintegrates with use.
Dip into warm water and squeeze out excess water.
Rub the surface with a light pressure.
**Not recommended for polished or glossy surfaces, or for brushed satin, dark or faux finishes. Not for use on auto paintwork.
I have a couple of favourite demonstrations for this product at my Norwex parties:
Take an old tea cup, with bad stains from tea…within seconds it is totally clean!
For customers with dimpled white-handled appliances…totally wipe them clean!
This is an inexpensive solution to the irritating stubborn stains and scuff marks around your home. Give it a try!

Environmentally-friendly Norwex Cleaning Paste is often referred to as “elbow-grease in a jar”. Use it for a variety of stubborn cleaning jobs.
Take a look in your cupboard and see how many of your purchased cleaners have only three active ingredients. The amazing Cleaning Paste contains: marble-flour, natural soap and traces of coconut oil. It took me seven years of regular use to finish my first container and I use it regularly! Norwex Cleaning Paste is perfect to use with the Spirisponge or EnviroCloth regularly to solve many of my toughest cleaning chores.

I like to think of it as “super-paste”; it cleans and polishes surfaces around your home. It removes the toughest of grime, without introducing unnecessary and dangerous products to your living environment. It is poison-, phosphate- and acid-free as well as easy on your skin and friendly on the environment. Not only that, it smells GREAT.
At a home presentation I did a while ago the host had a gas stove. Her kettle was tarnished from repeated exposure to natural gas flame. My host was explaining to her guests how she had tried everything to get it clean. So… with the Cleaning Paste and a Spirisponge, I effortlessly demonstrated how this amazing product WORKS!
The main testimonial from my customers is from cleaning their glass top stoves! It works amazing!!
At another presentation my host and her guests laughed that I wouldn’t be able to clean her sink. It was heavily stained from coffee and tea and she mentioned her plan of replacing the old sink at some point in the future. Within minutes, it was shiny and clean!
The pictures below shows the results:
