Free Norwex Product
This reward gives you a taste of the best Norwex has to offer. As you party reaches the $350, $550, $750 & $1000 sales categories, you will receive various AMAZING Norwex Product for FREE. Let me highlight one product from each category. Just think, one of these items might make a perfect gift for someone on your list!
This is a perfect gift for a Mom on-the-go. Did you know? Wet wipes are one of the most common consumer items in our landfills, making up 30% of non- biodegradable waste. Instead of wet wipes, just tuck a couple Baby Body Cloths in the bag (wet or dry) and you will be ready for anything (dirty faces and hands, a small spill, and even a dirty bum). This washable Reusable Wet Wipes Bag has 2 pockets and the large pocket is lined with water-resistant PEVA to safely store your wet/soiled cloths.
These are a fairly new Norwex item and they were designed to help reduce the need for paper napkins. Did you know? If a family of 4 uses 2 napkins/person/day, they would use almost 3,000 napkins/year! The Norwex Napkins provide a great solution because they are made from 50% recycled material, are reusable and they have the exclusive Baclock™ self-purifying agent in the napkin so you can use it more than once before washing.
These cloths were designed to reduce the need for paper towel. They are same size as a half-sheet paper towel, they have Baclock™ agent to go to work self-purifying the cloth and they are super absorbent. They are all the things you love about paper towel… except they are a sustainable, eco-friendly product. They are great for cleaning up spills, but I also use them in other areas in my kitchen. I have a tea station where I keep one of these to lay my spoon and catch the drips from my tea leaves. They are so handy.
I love that Norwex thinks of everything when they design a product. This Spa Wrap is not velvety soft, but it is super absorbent and light weight. All these things, plus it has a velcro closure to hold it in place as you get out of the shower and get ready for your day. It’s a beautiful wrap.
Host Exclusive Offer
When you host a party with $650 in sales, 6 Buying Guests and 1 new Booking you will receive the Host Exclusive Offer!!! This month it includes: An EnviroWand with two-sided Sleeve, a mini Cleaning Paste and a grape EnviroCloth. RETAIL VALUE: $70.97

Norwex has a fabulous collection of cleaning cloths! Did you know? Norwex Microfiber has the ability to remove up to 99% of bacteria from a surface when following the proper care and use instructions. All Norwex cloths are constructed with superior microfiber. Lots of them have the exclusive Baclock™ in the cloth that goes to work to self-purify and inhibit odors from bacteria, mold and mildew growth in the cloth; some of them have different types of fibers woven with the microfiber for extra scrubbing power. Some are super-soft for delicate surfaces, while others are textured to deal with tough kitchen messes. The Norwex line of microfiber cloths are expertly designed to tackle every job you face in your homes without using chemicals.
Have you ever wondered if you are using the best Norwex cloth for the job?
Let me remove the guessing game and give you the scoop on what cloth is best for what job. Let this post be your quick reference guide when you find yourself wondering if you are choosing the best cloth.
The Norwex Counter Cloths are so new that they are not on the comparison chart. But they are so fantastic, I wanted to include them in this post :).
Did you know that most of your Norwex cloths should NOT be used with soap?
Norwex microfiber cloths only require water to do their job effectively. The reason soap is not advised is because the microfiber is designed to absorb 7 times it’s weight (in water, dirt, debris, grease) but it will absorb soap as well. This happens because there are open spaces in the fibers created by the splitting process (during manufacturing) that enable the cloths to lift away dust and dirt and absorb several times its own weight. The absorbed soap will coat and clog the pores in the microfibers, making them ineffective and deep cleaning will be required to restore the cloth. But like most things in life, there are a few exceptions. These exceptions are designed to be used with or without dish soap (ideally Norwex Dishwashing Liquid). They include:
Norwex’s superior microfiber is guaranteed for 2 years of service. Norwex microfiber cloths work hard and have the ability to remove up to 99% of bacteria from a surface when following the proper care and use instructions. The microfiber is so ‘micro’ that if unwound, the fibers would stretch 3 million meters. After two years, they are no longer guaranteed as a chemical replacement. This doesn’t mean you should throw them away… it just means they should be demoted to jobs that don’t required 99% of bacteria removal. There are lots of jobs like that! For example: garage jobs, the outside windows, cleaning patio furniture, etc. I do suggest you replace the cloths you use to maintain your kitchen, bathroom, toilet, and any other cloths you use on surfaces that would normally require chemicals, every 2 years! That way it is guaranteed clean.
Here’s my little riddle to help you remember:
Ever wondered if you are following the ‘proper care and use instructions’ for your Norwex cloths?
Caring for your cloths is simple. To maximize the use of your cloths, ensure that you are removing up to 99% of bacteria from the surfaces in your home and prevent your cloths from getting stinky, just follow the instructions below.
I recommend that every 6 months, you deep clean your cloths. This is the best and most simple way to care for and maximize the life of your Norwex cloths. Read How to Deep Clean your Norwex Microfiber Cloths for all the details.
Norwex’s way of cleaning is radically different! Because of this, you may need to radically change how you think about cleaning. Hopefully this post will equip you with the information needed to sort out any confusion between the cloths and help you make the most of your cloths, inform you when it is time to replace your old cloths and teach you about proper care instructions for your cloths.
Do you still have questions? Feel free to leave a comment if you are still wondering about how to make the most of your Norwex cloths.

Plastic is a problem. CBC recently reported that “there are more than 79,000 tonnes of ocean plastic in a 1.6 million square kilometre area of the North Pacific Ocean, often referred to as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. That’s 16 times more than previous estimates.” Plastic is a material that does not decompose. It never goes away. It does break down into small pieces, called microplastics (pieces measuring less than 0.5 cm in diameter), which “marine life can consume and potentially die from”. The Ocean Cleanup Foundation commissioned an expedition in 2015 and found 1.8 trillion pieces of microplastics, including “plastic bottles, containers, packaging straps, lids, ropes and fishing nets… that have been accumulating for decades.” In this CBC article, Marcus Eriksen, founder and research director of the 5 Gyres Institute spoke about how the clean up efforts are important, but “not a solution by itself. ” Eriksen and Laurent Lebreton, lead author of Scientific Reports agree that they “would like to see less single-use plastic as well as a focus on cleaning up beaches and shores, before it makes its way into our oceans.”

What Is Norwex Doing about Plastic?
The truth of ocean plastic pollution is staggering… but, I believe that one household, who makes environmentally-friendly choices, does make a difference in the world. When you add up all our households, we do make a big difference! I am so grateful that Norwex recognizes the impact of plastic and is dedicated to helping people make conscience choices to reduce plastic waste. This month, Norwex’s “Pitch the Plastic Pack” Customer Special provides sustainable solutions to reduce our need for plastic straws, plastic wrap, plastic produce bags and plastic grocery bags. Isn’t that AWESOME? Plus, to celebrate Earth Day on April 22nd, Norwex is giving a couple FREE products with some of the specials!!! Keep reading…
This Bundle includes the Vibrant Body Pack and the Graphite Bath Towel. Norwex’s Body Pack are amazing face and body cloths made from super-soft Norwex microfiber containing their exclusive Baclock™ agent. They are perfect for all types of skin, designed to gently cleanse the face and body, helps remove excess oils from skin, great for exfoliation, acne and blackheads, and only needs water. They are good for the environment, good for balancing your delicate skin and good for reducing your spending on cleansers. The other product in this Bath and Body Bundle is the super-soft, light-weight, super-absorbent, quick-to-dry Graphite Bath Towel. It is made with Norwex’s microfiber containing the self-purifying properties of the Baclock™ agent. Just like the EnviroCloth is perfect for cleaning surfaces in your home, the Body Pack and Bath Towel are perfect for cleaning and maintaining your skin.
You will be amazed what you can accomplish with an EnviroCloth and a dab of Cleaning Paste. With just the EnviroCloth and water, you can clean all the hard surfaces in your home. Norwex microfiber has the ability to remove up to 99% of bacteria from a surface when following the proper care and use instructions. This cloth is superior because it is made with microfiber that is 1/200th the size of a human hair and there is more than 3 million meters in length of microfiber in each cloth. It is powerful. Use an EnviroCloth with Cleaning Paste to remove rust spots, hard water stains, scuff marks, permanent marker, dirt, grime, soap scum and more. BONUS: When you buy the Spring Cleaning Basics, you will receive an additional FREE EnviroCloth! Wondering what else Cleaning Paste can do? Read this Post. Want to know how I spring clean my appliances? Read this Post.
The kitchen sink is a busy place… from washing dishes and hands, to cleaning produce, to soaking pots and rinsing out the kitchen cloth. It is great that Norwex has the products to make our sinks sustainable. The Sink Mats (set of 3) are made of highly-absorbent microfiber and foam that are perfect for placing near the sink to provide a convenient resting place for wet or messy glasses, cups, bottles, toothbrushes and soap dispensers. They are a perfect “landing pad” for all those wet or sticky objects. The Bottle Brush with EnviroSleeve is a great tool for quickly cleaning bottles, vases, glassware, coffee to-go cups, etc. The brush is made of flexible and sturdy ThermoPlastic Rubber bristles that do a great job cleaning right to the bottom of your bottle without scratching it. When paired with an extra-soft EnviroSleeve with Baclock™, it is perfect for delicate items.
This special is packed with sustainability products that can help reduce our consumption of plastic straws, plastic wrap, plastic produce bags and plastic grocery bags. Reducing the use of all these ‘single-use’ plastic products is worth it. The Produce Bags (set of 3) are made of a washable polyester that don’t leach chemicals, are washable and super durable. They are the perfect size to bring your produce home, are light enough so your produce can be weighed inside the bag and you can even wash, rinse and store your produce in the bag when you get home. The Reusable Grocery Bag is awesome because it has Baclock™ in the lining, making it the cleanest reusable bag you own. It is also the perfect size and super durable. The Silicone Lids (set of 2) are constructed with food-grade silicone and are designed to create an airtight seal on food containers. They keep food fresh, can be used in the microwave and oven (up to 425º F) and won’t hold food odours. A perfect reusable alternative to plastic wrap and foil. The Stainless Steel Drinking Straws (set of 4) are a great way to avoid single-use straws because although they are usually recyclable, they don’t usually get recycled. Did you also know? More than 500 million plastic straws are used daily. They are one of the top 10 debris items ingested by sea life. These straws fit most cups and bottles and even make your drink taste colder… which is perfect for smoothies. The Norwex Cleaning Brush is the perfect tool to quickly clean out the straws so they are ready to use again. BONUS: When you buy the Pitch the Plastic Pack you will receive a FREE Special Edition Optic Scarf.
Spend & Get Special
Isn’t it amazing that there are sustainable options for the day-to-day choices we make. I empower you to believe that the choices you make do impact the health of our environment. Even switching from using traditional plastic straws to reusable Stainless Steel Straws would save 38,000 straws from entering the landfill or ocean in your lifetime.

Do you ever wonder if something is too good to be true? Well, that’s exactly what you’re going to think about the New Consultant program with Norwex for December.
How often do I have to work?
How much money can I makes as a consultant?
Who pays for the Host Program?
What are the start up costs?
Who does the deliveries and carries the inventory?
Who will train, coach and equip me to be successful?
Why should I should Norwex?
These are some of the most common questions I receive from people interested in starting their own Norwex business. Norwex is direct-sales, home-based business with loads of opportunity to make a living by educating others how to reduce the use of chemicals in their home by using Norwex’s environmentally-friendly, natural cleaning and personal products. Watch this video for the answers to the most frequently asked questions. Keep reading to see what is available for new consultants this month!
I fell in love with Norwex products more than 10 years ago and became a Norwex Independent Sales Consultant and now I love sharing the opportunity for others to do the same. For the month of December, there are a few lovely incentives for new consultants who sign up! First, you will be eligible for a 40% discount (instead of 35%) off all the products you buy for your own personal use or Christmas gifts. There is also a $75 shopping spree bonus available for new consultants when they reach the step 1 FreshSTART sales goal (read more info below). When you reach this goal you will also receive a luxurious Limited Edition Grey Chevon Body Towel. This is just the beginning…
Party Starter Kit:
How do you get started? As a home-based Independent Norwex Sales Consultant, you will need a product kit to demonstrate at your first party and parties to come. Norwex offers a FREE Parter Starter kit to help you get a great start.
To receive the Party Kit for Free, you will sign a contract committing to sell $2000 (retail value) in your first 90 days of business. As the average party sells $500 in product, consider this your first business goal.
Norwex Independent Sales Consultant earn 35% commission on the first sale!
You will earn $700 in commission when you sell your first $2000 in product !
If you choose to sell $2,000 in 60 days, Norwex will give you over $560 in free product from the FreshStart Program plus a $75 shopping spree and Body Towel (more info below)!
The Party Starter Kit contains top-selling products, business supplies and is worth more than $300!
If you don’t sell $2,000 in your first 90 days, don’t be discouraged, the kit will only cost $200. Here are a few simple ways to earn that $200:
Sell product to your friends and family (Norwex Canada ships anywhere in Canada), use social media like Facebook, a live party, by passing out catalogs or simply texting your Norwex link. You only need to sell is $600 in product to earn $210 (with your 35% commission)!! Plus, these sales are all you need to receive the first FreshSTART reward… including the bonus $75 shopping spree and Body Towel (more info below)!
Upgrade Your Starter Kit
The more product you can demonstrate the more you will sell. Norwex products are so innovative, green and easy-to-use that they sell themselves. The most basic demo of smearing butter on a window and completely removing it with a damp EnviroCloth proves its ability to absorb debris (even greasy food) and leave a streak-free shine. A demonstration is much more powerful than words. With that in mind, check out what Norwex has available to upgrade your kit:
FreshSTART Program
So far, so good, right?! Let me take a moment to explain the Norwex FreshSTART program. This program was designed to reward new Consultants who successfully reach the sales and recruitment goals from the start of their business.
