Norwex VS Chemicals

I recently had the privlege of discovering Norwex through Jeni Schultz a Norwex Independent Sales Consultant.  It was not until I actually started researching Norwex products that I realized just how harmful everyday household cleaning products and popular household names that we use everyday are.  Just how ignorant have I been?

I was sent three Norwex Products to personally review from Jeni Schultz.  The first was the Basic Package from Norwex Collections.  This included two microfiber cloths, one "enviro cloth" and one "window cloth".  With these two clothes you can clean almost any surface in the home.  I also received a set of Dryer Balls.  Below I am posting some interesting facts that will have you wanting to become more green and then a detailed description of each item and my personal experience with the products follows.

-In the last 50 years over 80,000 chemicals have been created for household cleaning

-Indoor Air Pollution is one of the top five highest ranking environmental health problems in America.

My Personal Opinion/Review

Initially I thought, gosh, these products are expensive.  After tons of research and resources available at our fingertips online, I realized how ignorant I have been and educated myself on indoor air pollution and just how harmful all those household cleaners really can be.  Also, I realized why keep spending money on something that keeps running out when I can be using something that is environmentally friendly "green" and reusable.  Norwex is changing my life!

Enviro Cloth

The Enviro Cloth can be used dry to dust without using any chemicals.  The dirt/dust just clings to the cloth without stirring up all those particles in the air that always get in my eyes and contacts when I use that dang swiffer wand I have (I had) :/  The Enviro Cloth can be used wet with water or a environmentally friendly Norwex product to clean dirt/grime off of counters, cabinets, stove tops, or how about those dusty fan blades?  Again, the dirt just clings to this cloth, then you simply rinse the dirt off to reuse or throw it in the wash and use it later.

Window Cloth

The Window Cloth can be used in a variety of ways as well.  I was confused because it is labeled polish!  Well I suppose it does polish since it cleans windows with water!  You heard me right.  We detailed the cars and boat and used this handy cloth to clean the windows!  This product is advertised to clean mirrors, widows, jewelry, and shiny surfaces!  So we put this to work on our brushed nickel chandelier, ceiling light covers, vanity lights in the bathroom, and sink fixtures with water.

Now as far as using a chemical to get rid of bacteria that is safe and environmentally friendly, try Hydrogen Peroxide!

Norwex Dryer Balls

I know I have tried other "as seen on TV" dryer balls and quiet honestly I felt like I got ripped off. I was anxious to get the chance to try a product that seems to be tried and proven.  In my quest to become a more "green" mom I have decided to change my laundry habits dramatically, starting with cutting out the use of fabric softener completely if at all possible.  These Norwex Dryer Balls work wonderfully.  Honestly I just use one at a time, I don't know if I am suppose to use two, but the benefits are obvious from one.  First, my clothes don't have static cling, they still smell clean, and the clothes were pretty much wrinkle free.  Sometimes the kids forget softener and that leads to hard to get out wrinkles (aka wrinkles that have to be starched out).  They think putting these dryer balls in is so fun, so these dryer balls are a hit in my house, silly kids!  Everyone in my family will be getting these next Christmas!!!

Thank you Jeni for this awesome opportunity!
