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!

With Halloween right around the corner, festive activities are fast approaching. Costume-making, decorating and entertaining at our home are all parts of Halloween enjoyed by the whole family. Cleaning in preparation for these festivities, however…is preferred to be done quickly!
Maybe you have a dog that frequents your windows, or it’s been a while since you’ve have the time to clean, so your front windows are streaky. Do you want to give them a quick wipe down before the big night? Try the Norwex Window Cloth and an EnviroCloth for totally cleaning your dirty windows.
Norwex’s Window cloths are a fast and effective way to get your windows streak-free. In fact, because you use only water with the cloths, your little pirate or ballerina can even help out with cleaning them!
When our girls were little, I’d give them a spray bottle of water and a Window Cloth. They could clean all of our glass coffee and end tables and they thought it was fun. Well, now I have teenagers. They still clean, but the fun factor of helping “Mom” has subsided. For me, the great thing is, with age has come height; now they can clean the whole window, top to bottom!
In order to get the real-clean, and see the real-gleam of your windows, Norwex’s Basic Package is sold as a pack of two cloths; giving you a ‘washer’ (the EnviroCloth) and a ‘polisher’ (the Window Cloth)!

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.

Do you own a handbag or two? Do you go shopping now and then to update your closet to keep up your look fresh? Here’s a question for you…. what will you wear front and center for the rest of your life? Your beautiful face!! Are you investing in the future to maintain that ‘look’ as well? Let’s take a look at what quality skin care really means as it’s a great investment that can I guarantee you will never regret.
I take great pride in the products I sell. With confidence I provide my family and friends safe product that will give them the great results they deserve. Because Norwex offers such an array of body care products, there’s something for everyone.
My daughters and I absolutely love the Mediterranean Moisture Aloe Vera Face & Neck Gel which we use twice a day as a toner. It’s applied after washing our faces with the Body Pack cloths. For my girls, these products are the perfect combination of a natural cleanser and a wonderfully light moisturizer that keeps their teenage skin healthy. As for myself, I am a huge advocate of the Naturally Timeless Set. Who doesn’t want to fight the signs of aging?
Norwex has taken skin care to the next level with an exciting breakthrough which focuses on the natural, rejuvenating benefits of a rare apple.
The Swiss apple, Uttwiler Spätlauber, is descendant of a seedling planted in the middle of the 18th century. It is well-recognized for its ability to be stored for long periods without shriveling, exemplifying its longevity virtue. Rich in phytonutrients and proteins, the apple’s unique ingredients are incorporated into the Naturally Timeless skin care line which offers:
Firming Face Serum contains Apple Stem Cells, Multi Peptides and Sea Algae to visibly firm and smooth your skin.
Radiant Eye Cream contains an extract from a Persian Silk Tree to reduce signs of dark circles, fine lines and under eye puffiness. Includes Apple Stem Cells, Multi-peptides and plant based moisturizers to help re-hydrate the delicate tissues around your eyes.
Anti-Gravity Night Cream contains a hydrating blend of essential plant oils, Apple Stem Cells, Shea Butter and plant peptides to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Also contains Sea Algae Extract to rejuvenate your skin at the cellular level overnight.
Day Cream contains Apple Stem Cells , precious plant oils and Shea Butter to defend against wrinkles, seal in moisture and boost the radiance of your skin.
This unique offering is currently one of the most pioneering and innovative breakthroughs in skin care development across the globe.
Aside from providing remarkable results, knowing that the products I am applying to my body daily are natural and not laden with ingredients linked to potential health concerns leaves me feeling good both inside and out. Norwex is one of the few North American companies certified by Ecocert; a company that began in France who sets high standards for natural and organic cosmetic products made in Europe. They set the benchmark for all to achieve, assuring that the products they approve are being made from renewable resources using environmentally friendly manufacturing methods. Check out Norwex’s other body care certifications here!
Prior to discovering Norwex, many of the products I was using contained “the Dirty Dozen” (learn more about that here!) However, some products are better than others. To see what’s in your daily skin-care routine, click here.

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I thought I would share a few things I am thankful for. My husband who has been one of the driving forces for me behind this business, and my beautiful girls who inspire me to make this earth cleaner, for their future. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family who is as passionate about changing our world as I am.
That being said, when entertaining in our home this Monday, I hope to spend as much time possible with my family, NOT cleaning up dishes. This, of course, means less time doing the dinner clean-up. Daily we use the Norwex Kitchen Towels for drying our dishes and hands. I have never had a towel dry faster, and absorb spills more easily than this one. The towels are sold individually or in sets with a matching cloth.
At a Customer Appreciation Event in Smithers, B.C. a testimony was shared about these towels: It was Easter and her entire family of thirty guests were joining her family for dinner. The food was prepared, wine was poured and the table was set. But unfortunately the dishwasher was broken. With the recent purchase of two Norwex Kitchen Towels they dried all of the dishes; from the wine glasses and utensils to the once greasy turkey roasting pan. She was delighted with her new towels and told all who were there that they should also try them. Old dish towels that sort of did the job are a thing of the past, Norwex has come out with an absorbent solution!
Safe On:
Stainless Steel
Enamel / Stone / China
Ceramic / Glass / Crystal
Chrome / Wood / Plastic
Granite / Marble / Slate / Quartz / Tile
The unique weave allows the Kitchen Cloth to tackle all your kitchen surfaces; they are super absorbent, quick-drying and non-abrasive. In addition, BacLock™ in the cloth – a micro silver antibacterial agent – goes to work to inhibit odors from bacteria, mold and mildew growth within the cloth. Best news? No more smelly cloths or towels! If that’s not something to be thankful for, I don’t know what is.
This fall the kitchen towels are available in new colors, including orchid, butter-cream, and my favorite, a rich and festive pomegranate red.
The towel and cloths set are available now in eight different color options. Mix and match to hang in your kitchen as dish towels and hand drying towels.
Did You Know?
Many products incorporate silver because of it’s antibacterial properties. There are silver antibacterial socks, silver soap, silver-lined curtains in hospitals, silver-lined bandages for treating burns and even silver toothbrushes.
Key Benefits:
Norwex Microfiber uses a combination of static electricity and capillary action to pull dirt and grease up into the fibers and away from the surface.
Dries kitchen counter and dishes quickly.
Saves time, money and the environment with chemical-free cleaning and no use of paper towel.
BacLock™, the micro silver agent goes to work with self-purification properties.
Exceptionally fast-drying.
