The first reward is a variety of different green clean, environmentally-friendly, easy-to-use Norwex products. Let me highlight a few that are available for hosts in December. Click on the highlighted products for more information and images.
Travel Pack, set of 4 with Baclock™ – Seriously, think of these as wipes… to go. They are smaller versions of the EnviroCloth and still work to clean hands, little faces, a stain of our your dress, etc. When you are out and about, these little cloths can be a life saver.
Veggie and Fruit Scrub Cloth – Did you know that many of our fruits and veggies contain most of their vitamins in the peel? When we remove the peel, we remove the best part of the fruit. The Norwex Veggie and Fruit Scrub lets you scrub and polish your produce with one cloth — a rough side for scrubbing away dirt and pesticide residue and a smooth side for drying and polishing your produce. Did you know that a kiwi has more vitamin C than an orange and more potassium than a banana… mostly found in the peel? Most of us don’t enjoy the fuzzy peel but if you use the rough side of the Scrub Cloth and knock those little hairs off your kiwi before adding them to your morning smoothy — you will reap the benefits of the peel, while still eating a well-cleaned beautiful fruit.
If you don’t want to feed your family food contaminated with pesticides, the EWG Shopper’s Guide helps you make smart choices, whether you’re buying conventional or organic produce,” said Sonya Lunder, an EWG senior analyst.
Read the EWG’s 2017 Dirty Dozen post to find out what produce is best for your family.
Microfiber Variety Pack with Baclock™ – A brilliant little pack. It consists of a sample of my top-3 selling cloths; including an EnviroCloth, a Window Cloth and a Body Pack Cloth. They are a smaller version of the original cloths and are perfect for travelling or as a gift for someone. Think about it, you can remove your makeup, clean your face, clean the surfaces around you and polish any finger prints you come across, all in one little pack. I love suggesting this pack to those who want to try Norwex cloths.
Square Silicone Bakeware Lid – Perfect for this time of year, when baking and leftovers are in abundance. They replace plastic wrap by creating a perfect seal on your glassware, ceramic, and most other bowls. They are better than plastic wrap as they are reusable (do you ever reuse or recycle your plastic?), they are made from foodgrade silicone that doesn’t leach chemicals into your food and they can be used in the microwave and oven. The only problem… they don’t crinkle when you steal a Christmas cookie (or 2) after dinner, so no one will stop you. Did you know that plastic never biodegrades? Every piece of plastic wrap we use will be around forever.
Bathroom Scrub Mitt with Baclock™ – This is a bathroom must-have! It has a scrubby side to remove soap scrum, grime, hard-water stains and toothpaste residue, Turn it over for a fluffy side that is super absorbent that quickly wipes surfaces areas clean, drawing the particles of dirt and grime up into the cloth. It scrubs, cleans and polishes all in one cloth. It has Baclock™, the micro silver agent in the cloth that works to self-purify, it can be used with Norwex’s Blue Diamond, Cleaning Paste or Descaler, and it can be laundered with your other Norwex cloths.
Vintage Body Pack with Baclock™– Pure luxury for your face and body. These cloths are soft and perfect for all types of skin but cleans with just water and even removes your makeup (no chemicals required). Use with warm water and enjoy the soft microfibers on your face as they gently remove oils, makeup, environmental gunk, while helping you maintain the balance of delicate skin.
Blue Diamond All-in-One Bathroom Cleaner – This concentrated, non-toxic, non-corrosive, thick bathroom cleaner works on toilette bowls, sink basins, tubs and counter tops. It is cleans deeply and has descaling properties, leaving your bathroom shiny.

March is the start of spring… at least the start of hope for spring! In my neck of the woods – the greater Edmonton area – the winters are often long, so when March hits, we are all ready to pack away our winter gear and dig out our spring attire. Often it is not quite time… but even if the weather is not cooperating, Norwex is, by offering two great March Customer Specials to welcome in spring!!
This special is a great package for kids. The Brown Bear Pet-to-Dry (read more) is made of super-soft chenille microfiber that is irresistible for little kids. It contains the exclusive Baclock™ in the cloth goes to work to self-purify and inhibit odors from bacteria, mold and mildew growth within the cloth. It is also super-absorbent and quick-drying so it can be used over and over. The cute animal motif and fun design helps win the battle of getting your kids to wash and dry their hands after using the washroom and creating an important life-time habit. You probably know that regular hand washing is the best defence against spreading disease and germs, but did you know that 95% of people fail to wash their hands long enough to kill the harmful bacteria on their hands?* To do so it takes 15-20 seconds (or the time is takes to hum “Happy Birthday” twice) of vigorous scrubbing with soap to properly clean your hands.
Mom, I just dried my hands on the animal, and my hands got totally dry, but the animal didn’t get wet!!! It was amazing! ~ William, age 4 1/2, Edmonton, Alberta
The second item is the Vibrant Body Pack. It is a soft microfiber cloth, designed to clean and gently exfoliate skin with just water. Kids love the colours – pink, green and yellow – and can use them in the bath to clean their bodies or to wash the faces before bed. These clothes are perfect for delicate skin as well as problem skin as they gently remove excess oils for skin, are effective to help control acne and blackheads and can be part of your child’s daily hygiene routine. The Baclock™ agent in the cloth works to inhibit bacteria so that it can be used a few days before laundering.
The third item is the Reusable Wet Wipes Bag, that is designed to carry your Vibrant Body Pack cloths when you are on the go. Kids are messy… that is a fact, you need something to clean faces and fingers, but traditional wipes have unnecessary chemicals and cause trouble in the sewer system if flushed and are disposable, causing unnecessary waste. Simply make the cloth damp and tuck it in the bag so it is ready to go when you face a messy face. The bag has a smaller pouch in front to tuck an extra cloth, or a Timeless Natural Hand Cleaner, or your lipgloss.
That’s right, spring cleaning season is quickly approaching. This Power Pack special includes the top selling basic pack including a pink EnviroCloth and purple Window Cloth. If you are familiar with Norwex, you will know that they are the perfect pair. The EnviroCloth, when damp and flat folded, can clean all the surfaces of your home. Then follow it behind with a WindowCloth to polish the surface, leaving them streak free, perfectly clean, without any chemical residue. Both cloths contain Baclock™ in the cloth – our micro silver antibacterial agent – goes to work to self-purify and inhibit odors from bacteria, mold and mildew growth within 24 hours. They are a radical way to clean your home that save time, money and the environment.
The Power Pack also has two Dusting Mitts. Why two mitts? Because you have two hands and so you can get your dusting done twice as fast. These mitts have a thick, dense, plush fibers designed to use static electricity to attract and hold dust and allergens and not let go. They create a long-lasting clean because there is no ‘chemical muck’ or residue left behind by traditional cleaning products or polishes. Just to name a few, use them to dust: banisters, chandeliers, plant leaves, vents, fireplace screens, leaps and mini blinds. Clean by shaking vigorously outside or by using the Rubber Brush. Check out how your can clean your window screens… one of the best tips!
Are you excited for spring yet? As you enjoy the change of season, take advantage of these Norwex specials to help make your housekeeping and spring cleaning more efficient and cost effective!

As a Norwex Independent Sales Consultant it is my job to provide superior alternatives to using chemicals to clean our homes to protect families and give them a better future. Their products are safe, environmentally-friendly, cost-effective and simple to use. Did you know that cleaning the surfaces in your home is a great way to protect you and your family from spreading germs? As it is flu season, let me tell you a few ways to use Norwex to help protect your family from spreading the influenza virus in a few ways.
First, the flu and other viruses are part of life and seem to become more prevalent during the winter seasons. Let me quote the World Health Organization who identified who is at risk and how we transmit viruses…
Who is at risk?
Yearly influenza epidemics can seriously affect all populations, but the highest risk of complications occur among pregnant women, children aged 6–59 months, the elderly, individuals with specific chronic medical conditions such as HIV/AIDS, asthma, and chronic heart or lung diseases, and health-care workers.
Transmission
Seasonal influenza spreads easily, with rapid transmission in crowded areas including schools and nursing homes. When an infected person coughs or sneezes, droplets containing viruses (infectious droplets) are dispersed into the air and are spread to persons in close proximity who breathe these droplets in. The virus can also be spread by hands contaminated with influenza viruses. To prevent transmission, people should cover their mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing, and wash their hands regularly.
Norwex has some simple and natural ways to fight the transmission of viruses and bacteria…
Timeless Natural Hand Cleaner – A must-have during the cold and flu season (but really a necesity all year long)! It is a beautiful Natural Hand Cleaner that is perfect for when you are on the go or in a place without running water. It is called “cleaner” and not sanitizer for a reason. Sanitizers are made to kill bacteria and viruses on our hands… sounds good right? Unfortunately, most contain ingredients like alcohol, triclosan, parabens, petroleum solvents and artificial dyes/colours which can be irritating to the skin. Norwex has formulated a ‘hand cleaner’ that uses organic lemon, rosemary and lavender extracts that have natural antiseptic/astringent qualities to clean your hands. They added organic aloe vera, olive oil and gluten free wheat germ oil to soothe, heal and moisturizer your skin.
Take a travel-sized tube wherever you go. I actually keep a tube of Natural Hand Cleaner in the door of my vehicle. It makes it convenient to clean my hands after grocery shopping, getting gas, after any activity where I have been in contact with lots of people. I love that it not only cleans my hands, but it only requires a small pea-sized amount, it has a beautiful citrus scent and it leaves my hands soft and smooth — plus it protects me against the flu and other viruses.
Clean Your High Traffic Areas – Another great way to protect your family from viruses is to clean high traffic surfaces in your home on a regular basis. These include: door knobs, hand railings, fingerprinted-walls, light switches, computer keyboard and mouse, phones, and remote controls. This could sound like a big job but with a damp EnviroCloth, this task is quick and easy. Simply wet a EnviroCloth and wring it out until damp. Flat fold the EnviroCloth to get 8 cleaning surfaces and get to it. In fact, because you only need water to clean with Norwex EnviroCloths, this is a great opportunity to get your kids involved in cleaning. Give each kid a damp Kids EnviroCloth and a job to clean. Your home will be virus and bacteria free in no time. Watch my youtube “Kids Can Clean” for some inspiration.
Peppermint Foaming Hand Wash – Hand washing is the greatest defence against the spread of viruses and bacteria. Norwex has formulated an energizing foaming hand wash that uses natural peppermint oil to scent and a combination of panthenol, allantoin and aloe to provide your skin moisture. Not only does it clean your hands beautifully, the peppermint scent makes you feel energized and because it is foam, a little goes a long way. Did you know? According to a study conducted by American Society for Microbiology, only 67 % of people wash their hands after using the washroom. If that is true, I bet they don’t wash after they sneeze, blow their nose, or cough into their hands either. Ewww. Now go WASH YOUR HANDS!!!
Partner with Norwex and their simple chemical-free solutions to help keep you and your family healthy during the cold and flu season.

What about the carrot sticks or lettuce leaves that tumble from the colander into the sink? Surely the sink, which is regularly doused with soap and water, must be cleaner than the floor, which is regularly defiled by the feet we use to stand at the sink — right?
“Wrong, wrong, 500 times wrong”, says Environmental Microbiologist Kelly Reynolds, Ph.D., an assistant professor of microbiology at the University of Arizona. While the floor may be crawling with 1,000 bacteria per square inch, the sink typically hosts around 500,000 bacteria per square inch — and she’s seen sinks that had millions more than that. “The sink is a ready source of bacteria just from washing off hands as well as food, which may carry fecal bacteria.” The number of bacteria it takes to make us sick depends on the type, but Reynolds says that it takes between 100 and 1,000 bacteria to transmit salmonella, which is the most frequently reported cause of foodborne illness.
Reynolds says our kitchen sinks are often dirtier than the toilets of public bathrooms, which may be regularly scrubbed with powerful disinfectants. “If you dropped something in the toilet at the gas station, would you rinse it off and eat it? Use the same mentality for your sink.”
Our kitchen sinks are where we wash everything from our hands, to doing the dishes, rinsing out your kitchen cloth, to washing veggies & fruit, to cleaning the thanksgiving turkey and even soaking your Norwex EnviroCloths to deep clean them. The kitchen sink is a busy place. As it is harvest time… some of our sinks will be especially busy. Before you dump your beautiful harvest of carrots, potatoes, turnips, apples or cherries into your kitchen sink, consider how clean your sink really is and why it is important.
The World Health Organization (WHO) works with 150 countries to help them “ensure the highest attainable level of health for all people”. They are committed to combatting disease as well as ensuring food, air & water safety. They empower people to do their part in ensuring food safety in our homes…
So how do your keep your kitchen clean and safe? Norwex’s Global Mission is improving quality of life by radically reducing chemicals in our homes. Cleaning your kitchen sink properly and without chemicals is a simple way to improve our quality of life.
Seeing as the average kitchen sink can be 500 times dirtier than the average kitchen floor, let me give you a few Norwex tips on how to ensure your sink it really clean. Did you know that Norwex not only provides clean solutions, but their solutions are time-saving, effective, chemical-free, environmentally friendly? That is awesome!
Rinse your sink with hot water.
Wet a Norwex Spirisponge and dab with Cleaning Paste. Cleaning Paste has only 3 active natural ingredients (marble flour, natural soap, coconut oil). The Cleaning Paste will remove stains and bacteria, while leaving your sink shiny.
In a circular motion, clean the entire sink from top to drain. Spend a little extra time cleaning the ridges of your drain to remove any build up.
Rinse with hot water.
Wipe dry with flat-folded EnviroCloth. EnviroCloths will remove unto 99% of bacteria from a surface when used properly.
Repeat as needed.
This should take you no longer than 90 seconds from start to finish and the end result is a clean, food-safe sink!
Watch this:
I love Norwex’s quick, simple, affordable, effective and environmentally-friendly solutions for our day-to-day cleaning needs. With all the research revealing how dirty our sinks are and how it can negatively effect our health, Norwex offers a good solution!

Isn’t it wonderful when something fabulous gets even more fabulous? The Norwex number one, top-selling item, the EnviroCloth that started Norwex, is now New and Improved !!!
3 things have improved…
COLOUR
For the past nine years I’ve been asked, “what’s with the colour palette for the EnviroCloths???”!!! These cloths have always been available in four colors – red, yellow, blue & green – and now it is available in grey. The grey colour is not only trendy for home decor but it is also practical for hiding stains. It is universal to match any home! The yellow EnviroCloth is now discontinued (that’s okay, it was dedicated for my toilets anyway 🙂 ).
2. MAGNETIC CORNER
Not only is the grey EnviroCloth available in the regular size, it is now also available in a larger size with an added magnet… keeping the Magnetic EnviroCloth convenient and always within reach. Hang it on your fridge, washing machine, barbecue, toolbox, fitness equipment, stroller handle, or simply on your stove. Quick and easy for drying your hands, wiping down a dirt surface, removing streaks and smears, or for drying out the inside ring of your washing machine seal. The magnet makes it quick and easy to hanging your cloth up to dry. This strong magnet in the corner of the cloth will keep your cloth handy 24/7.
3. MORE MICROFIBER
It gets even better!! For years the EnviroCloth has contained 2.9 million meters of microfiber, which was awesome, but now they are even thicker with more than 10 million feet / 3 million meters of fiber in every Norwex EnviroCloth. Making the fiber in each cloth one hundred thousand meters longer. The fibers in the cloth are still a minimum of 1/200th the size of a human hair. If you were to unravel the fiber in one cloth, you could reach from Canada all the way to the Gulf of Mexico.
You can FEEL the difference. This makes the cloth more absorbent, totally replaces the need for paper towel, it traps dust and grime inside the cloth and leaves your surfaces streak-free and shiny, all with one amazing cloth. The EnviroCloth replaces the need for any toxic chemicals that used to occupy the space underneath your kitchen sink. Just add water to the EnviroCloth and it has the ability to remove up to 99% of the bacteria from a surface when following the proper care and use instructions.
A FEW USAGE & CARE TIPS:
Norwex Microfiber has the ability to remove up to 99% of bacteria from a surface when following the proper care and use instructions. But, how old are your Norwex EnviroCloths? Do you know when a your cloth need to be replaced?
Of course, you can still use these older cloths for detailing the inside of your vehicle, wiping down the barbecue or inside your oven, the patio furniture and outside windows. But if you are wanting to clean a surface with an EnviroCloth as a chemical replacement, ensure that the cloth is less than two years old.
You can also use the EnviroCloth dry and with power of static electricity, it will lift small particles of dirt and dust up into the cloth and prevent it from resettling on your surface. Use it damp for heavily soiled areas and it will pick up everything just by using water.
Norwex is the leading distributor of microfiber products globally. Norwex has cutting edge technology in the microfiber industry with micro silver-embedded BacLock™, that goes to work to self-purify and inhibit odors from bacteria, mold and mildew growth within the cloth within 24 hours so that it is ready to use again. Norwex offers one of the most innovative products in the cleaning industry today. The cloths are totally effective to clean your home, just by using water.
The care for the Norwex EnviroCloth is simple. Launder your cloths in the washing machine on a hot cycle with scent-free detergent like Ultra Power Plus Laundry Detergent and dry them in the dryer with Dryer Balls. Always launder them with lint free clothing articles. Never use fabric softener nor bleach. Never submerge them into soapy water. Only use laundry soap for washing your cloths or deep soaking them.
For heavily soiled or stained cloths, pour boiling water over your cloth in a pot or Pyrex dish. Let it sit and soak for 10 minutes. You can also sprinkle in a little bit of Ultra Power Plus Laundry Detergent for extra cleaning power. Then launder as usual.
A FEW NEW PRODUCTS:
The thicker improved EnviroCloth is now available in the Travel Pack sets and the Magnetic EnviroCloth. And don’t forget that it comes in GREY!!!
