Norwex vs. the Challenges of Allergies

Sensitive to Chemicals/Fragrances?
Many people today have asthma, allergies, or chemical sensitivities which can be quite dramatically affected by the use of cleaning chemicals and air fresheners. By getting rid of the chemicals and using the Norwex Antibac Enviro Cloth and Window Cloth (Basic Pak set $32.99) in place of traditional chemical cleaners you can dramatically improve your indoor air quality.

Are you allergic to dust mites?
Eliminate them with Norwex Mattress Spray ($35.99). Sprayed just a few times per year this product eliminates dust mites and their wastes, as well as pet/human dander etc. from your pillows, mattress, couches etc. This quality product works wonders for those with allergies and offers great peace of mind to the rest of us. We spend such a large part of our lives in bed; let’s not have dust mites in there with us!

Is eczema or dry skin is an issue for you?
Consider the 100% Organic Shea Butter ($25.99). This product offers relief from a variety of irritants, from poison ivy to sunburns, dry heels and elbows and even as an eye cream (I find that it reduces puffiness).

Sensitive Skin?
For sensitive or any skin type I highly recommend the Body Pak ($19.99 large) or Baby Body Pak ($15.99 small) 3 pak of face cloths. These face cloths are a must for teenage skin or for anyone with acne as they remove excess oils which clog pores. They deep clean and exfoliate your skin, reduce blackheads, acne, and also remove makeup - all with just water. Remove your mascara fast and easy and save money on expensive cleansers, toners and makeup removers.

Suitable for all skin types, Norwex Ultra Plus Laundry Soap ($24.99) uses only 2 TB per large load = 80 loads. This product is a favourite as it cleans so well, but also because it does not contain fillers or fragrance. Ideal for sensitive skin, safe on infant clothing and suitable for cold water wash.

How to Deep Clean your Home
using Norwex Enviro Products

1. Windows: wash with wet Enviro Cloth, followed by polishing with dry Window Cloth. For hard to reach or larger windows use the Norwex Mop. Mop brackets well secure the window cloth on the mop base.

2. Window screens: remove dust with a Dusting Mitt and then run a damp Enviro Cloth over the screens – your screens will look like new.

3. Washing walls: remove greasy finger prints and grime with a damp Enviro Cloth OR wash the entire wall and ceilings with just water and the Norwex Microfiber Mop. The dry mop pad is ideal for removing drywall dust from walls.

4. Kitchen cupboards: sanitize your kitchen cupboards inside and out with a damp Enviro Cloth. Clean the top of the cupboards with the Dusting Mitt.

5. Oven: fill a small bowl with warm water and one teaspoon of Norwex Dishwashing Liquid. Dip a Spirinett in the warm suds and scrub the burnt food off the oven and oven racks. Finish the task by removing grease with a damp Enviro Cloth. Norwex Cleaning Paste will bring your oven (inside and out) to a brilliant new shine.

6. Mattresses: spray with the Norwex Mattress Cleaner every three - four months - rid your mattress of dust mites, pet and human dander and dust mite feces.

7. Light fixtures and ceiling fans: dust with a Dusting Mitt or a dry Enviro Cloth.

8. Various tough jobs: the Norwex Cleaning Paste is excellent for cleaning stainless steel, stove tops, tubs, rust spots and more. Commonly known as “elbow grease in a jar”.

9. Dusting under or behind the beasts: (fridge, stove, washer, dryer, etc) This task is fast and easy when using the dry mop pad first to remove dust bunnies and debris, followed by washing with the wet mop.

10. Launder & store out of season items: wash with Norwex Ultra Plus Laundry Detergent.

ECOCERT® Certified Organic and Bio Suisse Certified Organic

There are many definitions and criteria used to define natural and organic products and the use of the term “organic” on personal care labels is not regulated in the same way as it is for foods. This can make it difficult for consumers to identify truly organic personal care products. This is one reason why our new personal care products are not simply labeled natural or organic, but are actually ECOCERT® certified organic. ECOCERT® is considered to be the most important organization in Europe in setting the criteria for natural and organic cosmetics – their requirements for an organic product are as follows;

• a minimum of 10% of the total ingredients must be certified organic;
• at least 95% or the ingredients must be or vegetable/plant origin;
• while the product may contain a maximum of 5% synthetic ingredients, none of these must be included on the negative list.

ECOCERT’S negative list includes:

• mineral oil and silicon;
• synthetic emulsifiers like PEG (polyethylene glycol);
• viscosity controlling agents like carbomer;
• preservatives such as formaldehyde releasers, parabens, or phenoxyethanol;
• synthetic perfumes;
• synthetic dyes;
• synthetic solvents like propylene glycol.

In addition, the Swiss plant extracts used in our products are also certified organic by Bio Suisse. Bio Suisse is an association of more than 30 organic farming organizations and about 6300 farms engaging in organic production in the Switzerland and Liechtenstein The Bio Suisse quality seal is by far the most important seal for organic products in Switzerland and Bio Suisse requirements are far stricter than even those of the European Union.
