Norwex: Healthy Cleaning with a Clean Conscience

Friday, November 20, 2009 Posted by Felicia

I am so happy to introduce the Norwex company to you. Norwex sells healthy and safe cleaning supplies that you can feel confident using.

When I was first contacted about reviewing this company, I was very wary of it. I thought it was another one of those "shell" companies that sold "natural" products through their sundry resellers and consultants.

I couldn't have been more wrong. Deja Peterson, the Norwex team consultant that contacted Go Graham Go, is passionate about the Norwex products and even more compassionate about ensuring that every customer is satisfied with them. In fact, the reason Deja decided to join the Norwex company was because of the company's incredible integrity and ethics.

But Deja didn't just stop there--from now until the end of December, all the proceeds from the sales on her website are going towards World Vision to buy livestock for needy families. Yes--ALL the proceeds! WOW! Her goal is to raise $1675 for this cause, which you can read more about here.

Of course, Deja's incredible goal and generosity aren't worth much if the Norwex products she sells aren't equally incredible. Well, I'm happy to tell you that I tried out four different Norwex products and loved them all.

The Norwex product line is mainly known for their own state-of-the-art Antibac Microfiber Cloths. These microfiber cloths are named "Antibac" for a reason. In all areas of the home, including bathrooms and kitchens, microfiber cloths remove 99+% of the bacteria from surfaces, resulting in a cleaner, healthier environment. And, get this--all you have to use is water + the microfiber cloth.
REVIEW: I was definitely leery of that claim and, while I didn't have a bacteria testing kit on hand, I can attest that my counter tops, bathroom sinks, and the like looked (and smelled!) immaculately clean after each use. Because you do not need to use any sanitary spray with them, these Antibac Microfiber cloths will reduce the use of cleaning chemicals in your home--saving you money and exposure to toxic fumes (which is huge for anyone with allergies and chemical sensitivities!)

The Antibac Window Cloth also only needs a bit of water to get your windows and mirrors shiny and streak-free. My toddler is at the stage where she wants to look at herself in the full-length mirror all the time. Needless to say, that means I'm always cleaning the mirror. How nice and EASY it was to just wet the window cloth, wipe down the mirror, and have it spotless again, no chemical sprays required!

Norwex also carries a line of laundry products. Since I have a messy toddler who is a magnet for dirt and stains, Deja sent me the Laundry Pre-Wash Stain Remover to review. It is perfect to use on baby and children's clothes, or anyone with skin sensitivities. The 100% all-natural formula is hypoallergenic, biodegradable, non-toxic and free of allergens, dyes, perfumes and petroleum solvents. And, it works! I used it on a shirt that had avocado and banana stains (next to impossible to get out). I'm happy to report that Catherine wore that shirt today without any signs of those stains!

Finally, I reviewed the Norwex Spirinettes. Made of stainless steel these scrubbers are extremely durable, long-lasting, and, of course, chemical-free. I put the spirinettes to the test the other day. Let's just say that I took a nap and forgot that I had sweet potatoes boiling on the stove:


Not to fear, I plopped a Spirinette in the pot and scrubbed away.


I seriously did not think this stuff would come off. It was at least 3 cm thick. But the Spirinette saved my favorite pot and now it looks like this:

Amazing! I can use it again (and I have!). I'm still impressed.

VERDICT: The Norwex products that I tried did a wonderful job. In fact, I highly recommend you try an Antibac Microfiber cloth. I had mine in the wash for one day and I missed using it!

And remember, all the proceeds from the sales on Deja's Norwex website are going towards World Vision to buy livestock for needy families.

    I love Norwex products! I was so lucky two years ago to receive two of the Microfiber cloths and two of the window cloths. I still have the cloths and still use them, and besides a few stains here and there, they are still in excellent condition. I would love a chance to get a new set!

    My favorite products from Norwex are:
    The laundry detergent (I got to try and sample, and wish I could afford to buy more!)
    The cloths (which I have used for two years and love that you can clean without harsh chemicals, just a little water!)
    I would love to try the Spirinettes, they worked so well on your pan and I am tired of going through copper scrubbers!
    I would also love to try the Microfiber Mop kit, but it is outside of my budget!

    Whew, ok, lets just say I love their products and want one of each!

    thank you for the chance to win!
