It's the time for us again to pack up and move on. Being in the service, we learn how to pack up and clean out with efficiency every 3 years or so. One thing I have learned over our many moves, and years of experience, is how much I grow to love my Norwex! It's easy and small to pack up and move with me. While some of my items must go in boxes with the movers, I can always keep my essential items with me in my luggage! My favorite items I carry with me, my Body Cloths, Bath Towel, a Window Cloth, an Envirocloth, and now my new Kitchen Counter Cloths! I also found some wonderful carrying cases for my essential oils on Amazon that make packing bottles easy to take with me as well!

I had been a little overdue in cleaning my rug. I mean, I vacuum, but I knew my rug wasn't getting clean. Not really clean. I could still see the dog hair embedded into the rug that just wouldn't lift out with normal vacuuming.
After some complaining about how dirty my rug was to a friend, she suggested taking the rubber brush to it. I had forgotten about that! So, the next day I sat down with the rubber brush on the rug. An hour later, I had pulled out loads of dog hair and other dirt that was getting stuck in the rug! Just look at the amount of hair I pulled out from these images! YUCK! Thank goodness for the Rubber Brush! What an awesome tool to have around the house, especially pet owners! I use it all the time with my Dry Mop, but it sure works great on cleaning on it's own too! Starting my Norwex journey began almost 12 years ago. My mom introduced me to this "little green cloth" that removed stains from my carpet by just using WATER! I was immediately amazed and blown away. How could one cloth and just water clean something that I had tried to remove with many different products and chemicals? It was so simple, yet it worked!
Then later down the road I began my journey with clean eating. I knew adding chemicals in my body was doing more harm than good, and I learned a lot about how to eat Whole Foods and real foods that were made to be grown, hunted and eaten; not processed foods that came from a factory. But I didn't want to just stop there. I really felt I needed to make more changes in my family's' life. So then a friend of mine helped me sign up with the Norwex team! I am forever grateful for that! I now have access to all these amazing products that clean with just water or enzyme-based solutions that are much cleaner and safer to use! Not only has Norwex helped improve the quality of our home and lives by reducing chemicals, but it saves me time and money! I really do clean less! I no longer have chemical residues that leave streaks or caked-on products on my surfaces that only catch or collect dirt and germs faster. I have a truly clean home, nothing left on my surfaces, and cleaning is much faster because it's just one step. Just add water! Norwex has also helped save me money and space. I no longer need to keep purchasing or finding a safe place to store my chemical cleaners. I've reduce the amount of paper towels I had been throwing away or using. Our waste consumption has gone down, making me feel better about helping our planet. I am spending less, because with just 2 cloths I can clean 90% of my home and I haven't had to replace them in over 5 years! I have many favorites, but if I had to narrow it down, I would say these make my top 5 list for sure: 1. Enviro Cloth (the leading work horse behind most of your cleaning needs in the home) 2. Window Cloth (the second part of the dynamic duo that works well with any Enviro Cloth) 3. Dust Mitt (perfect for collecting dust with just some static electricity and no polish build up) 4. Cleaning Paste (just 3 natural ingredients in a jar help remove even the most difficult stains) 5. The Mop System (A MUST HAVE replacement for any broom and mop you currently own!) I love sharing with people how they can reduce chemicals, save time and money, and keep a healthier home. It feels good to share with others what I know and have learned! My home is cleaner, and less cluttered with harmful products taking up space in my home. You can follow me on Facebook at www.facebook.com/RebeccaHoweCleanGreen or visit my website for more information at www.rebeccahowe.norwex.biz" USE INSTRUCTIONS: Get the most out of your enviro cloth by folding it twice for 8 cleaning sides! Not only does the this allow for more clean sides with one cloth, but it helps to bunch those fibers together and make them work harder for better cleaning! CARE INSTRUCTIONS: Don't forget when you launder your micro fiber cloths, to wash them without bleach, without fabric softener, and without other lint items! This will help keep your cloth in great working condition and lasting longer! DEEP CLEANING: When your cloth is not releasing all that dirt in there, try a deep clean (every 6 months roughly) to help get your cloth back to it's original clean state!
So the question some people might ask when I say you can clean with just water, is it really working? Am I really getting the house clean by using just water? Absolutely! You can clean with just water! Not only will it save you time, but it's safer for your skin and lungs to clean without chemicals. Over use of chemicals can harm your immune system. I found this article that really explains it well! I'm so happy to have invested in Norwex's microfiber cloths. They have lasted over 10 years, I still own my first cloth, saving me money on paper products and cleaning supplies over 10 years now without needing anything but water! I've saved time it takes to clean, saved the planet on disposable waste, and saved money on products that I no longer need to buy. Please take a moment to read this wonderful article about the over use of disinfectant wipes! http://www.ewg.org/enviroblog/2015/09/trouble-disinfecting-wipes I've got to say, I am really loving my reusable wet wipe bag and travel enviro cloths! I keep them with me in my purse and take them everywhere! From wiping down the shopping cart handles, to cleaning up chocolate faces and fingers, to wiping our hands after feeding animals on the farm, I feel ready, clean, and safe. I am proud to say we are not using disposable wipes that fill up our trash, or add chemicals to our skin. I just use water and the cloths, and store them in convenient reusable bag for next time. Easy, fast and safe. It really has been a great improvement to being on the go!

"What is Norwex?" many people ask. Norwex is a company designed with the mission to improve the quality of life by radically reducing chemicals. Norwex has developed a safer and more Earth friendly way to clean our homes while protecting the Earth and our families from harmful chemicals. The technology of microfibers that have been developed clean with only water! Using just water and our cloths, you can reduce the use or need for paper towels, cleaners, and other waste. Not only do the microfiber technology and design help make cleaning safer, but it helps make it safer for your family and for our environment! Many of our products also include the BacLock system that helps the cloths self-clean and reduce the spread of dirt and bacteria. The quality of these products will last a long time, and reduce the cost of buying other cleaning supplies over time. My first envirocloth is still going strong from over 10 years ago! This old stain was removed by just an enviro cloth and water from my sister. She had tried other solutions and nothing seemed to work. She says: "This is a before and after photo of our carpet. I used Norwex enviro cloth and water to remove it. The stain has been there for a long time!"
Let me know your feedback and before and after photos to share! I'll post them in my testimonials! |
