Thank You!!!

I just want to say a HUGE THANK YOU! With your help I was able to raise $230 to donate to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. That is so amazing. More Norwex into people's homes, safer havens and a safer environment, Cortney earned $370 worth of FREE Norwex, and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is getting a $230 donation. Talk about a Win Win Win Win!

Last Day! Get your orders in!

Hi everyone! Today's the last day to get your orders in for Cortney's Norwex Party. 

• Thank you for supporting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. 
• Thank you for making the decision to not only create a safer haven in your own home, but creating a safer environment for everyone.
• Thank you all for joining in on the good clean fun & helping Cortney earn some great Norwex products.  

My goal is to donate $200 or more to the foundation and I am halfway there, but I need your help! Please get your orders in TODAY by 10pm CST. If you need help or have questions, please ask. If you need help ordering please let me know.

Where Do I Start?

Alright, so I've posted A LOT about Norwex. But it is really super simple and super easy to incorporate Norwex into your household, because it is super simple and super easy to use Norwex! If you are new to Norwex and want to try just 1 item, I highly recommend starting with the Household Package. At $48.99 for the enviro cloth, window cloth & dusting mitt you can clean your entire home top to bottom with just water and stop buying all of your traditional household cleaners all together! Seriously, I haven't even ventured down the cleaning aisle at any store in over 8 months (guess how much money that has saved me).

Here is the Home Essentials package that I've put together that includes my Norwex favorites that I use every single day. Love each of these items and you will see a HUGE cost savings. 

SHOPPING SPECIAL!!!! 

Get the Home Essentials Collection and receive FREE SHIPPING! That's right, FREE SHIPPING on your order (a savings of $6)! 

Reminder if you want this package please contact me directly as this is put together by me, not Norwex. You get to choose the color of your body pack and your kitchen cloth/towel set, so don't forget to let me know which colors you want! Also, if you're order totals more than $50, contact me directly instead of ordering on-line. I can help you with shipping costs!

If you have any more questions, want recommendations, want to know where to get the best bang for your buck... I'm more than happy to help! Just comment below and I'll help everyone out no matter what your budget is (even I am on a Norwex budget, trust me I get it). 

Microfiber Care Instructions

Caring for your Microfiber cloths is easy! But there are a few Do's and Dont's to follow so you get the most life out of your Norwex. They are cleaning cloths and will eventually need to be laundered. Yes, the silver goes to work self-purifying the cloths so you launder them less, but eventually the microfiber will have done such a great job of grabbing and trapping everything that they'll be full and in need of washing. I use some cloths every single day/multiple times a day (body & kitchen), and I usually launder them every 1.5-2 weeks. If I don't use something as often, I can wait 2-3 weeks. I know my cloths need to be laundered if they get grimy or stiff, if they take on a light odor, or if I notice they aren't cleaning as effectively as before. All I do is wash them in the washing machine, dry in the dryer & follow the rules below. If cared for, Norwex will last for years!

All of the Norwex microfiber has a 2 year/500 wash warranty so your cloths will least you AT LEAST that long, but care for them like you should and they will last well beyond their warranty period. Also, anything you buy from Norwex has a 60 day money back guarantee, so if you don't like it you can return it for a refund. But I'm pretty sure once you try Norwex it will be love at first clean!

Donating to CF!

A quick update to Cortney's party. All of the proceeds from Cortney's party will be donated to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. I am all about creating healthier/safer homes and a better environment, and with Norwex I do that on a daily basis. And now I can help a cause that is near and dear to my heart and help those who have CF. So not only will your order benefit yourself by reducing the use of chemicals in your home, it will also benefit Cortney as the host, and the CF Foundation who will be getting a donation. I mean talk about a Win Win Win! I am so happy to be able to do this, but I need your help!

7 toxic reasons to ditch your dryer sheets

Dryer sheets & fabric softener are at the top of the list of the most toxic substances found in our household. They are full chloroform, formaldehyde, and various other neurological & endocrine disrupters. Dryer sheets coat your laundry and dryer with these toxic chemicals while also polluting the air. There's a reason people use them to repel rodents & insects. 
Make your home healthier by ditching the dryer sheets and start using 100% wool dryer balls. Not only are they eco-friendly & all natural, they reduce dry time, soften your clothes, and will save you money.

Miss that fresh laundry scent a dryer sheet gives? Put a few drops of essential oils on your dryer balls to give your clothes an all natural fresh scent.

The Norwex dryer balls will reduce static in your laundry naturally and without chemicals. Just follow these tips! 

1. Reduce the heat setting on your dryer
2. Reduce the dry time
3. Turn the dry time sensor on your dryer

#1 Best Seller! Norwex Laundry Detergent

How much detergent do you use per load? Me...1 tsp! Crazy I know, but that is because it is purely concentrated laundry soap without dyes, fragrance, or fillers, only ingredients that simply clean your clothes. And let me tell you, as a mom of 3, and someone who does A LOT of laundry, this stuff is like gold. It cleans the dirtiest of clothes in one easy load. It seriously gets stains 5 yr old stains out of hand-me-down white onesies that my 6 month old now wears. It also brightens your brights and whitens your whites. This is simply the best laundry detergent on the market AND it is cheaper per load! 

Check out how much the detergent you currently use costs per load vs. Norwex laundry detergent 

Is your laundry detergent on this list??

All of those filler products found in laundry detergent cause your washing machines to smell, cause various skin conditions (eczema, dermatitis), and grind into your clothes, decreasing the life of your wardrobe. 

Cleaning Paste AKA kid saver

It has certainly saved my kids several times after they've gotten nail polish on my counters, paint on my table, permanent marker on the wood work....the list goes on. I always say, if you are going to clean up a mess start with your Enviro cloth wet with water first. You'd be surprised at what you can get clean with just the microfiber and water. But, there are some tough jobs that might need a little extra. That's where cleaning paste comes in handy. It is an environmentally friendly, chemical-free cleaner that cleans, polishes and protects all in one application. It's a dry solid, so 1 jar last years. This will replace all of your chemical cleaners like Comet, Soft Scrub, Bar Keeper's Friend, and Magic Erasers! It cleans off rust, limescale, water spots, permanent marker, dirty grout, baked on cooktop stoves, and so much more!

I'm a much more laid back mom these days. My kids make a giant mess and I know my Norwex can take care of it. Less stress, less time spent cleaning, happier mom!

Kitchen Cloth & Towel

The Kitchen Cloth & Towel:
I use this duo every.single.day... actually, like 8 million times a day. They are great because you can use them over and over before washing them, and they won't grow mold/mildew/bacteria. Use the cloth wet to clean up all the services in your kitchen after a meal (including kids hands and faces), and use the towel to dry all your dishes more quickly and cleaner than using an ordinary towel. The duo comes in super fun colors, too! 

I call the cloth my paper towel saver because I rarely use paper towel any more. Seriously, this winter I was without a single roll of paper towel in my house for 2 weeks, and I didn't even care.The towel can dry an entire Thanksgiving meal worth of dishes with one towel...and my family proved it this last Thanksgiving!

Got kids...you'll love the kitchen cloth for quick and easy clean ups.

One important note, kitchen cloth is not meant to hand wash your dishes. Use our amazing dish cloth instead! It doesn't look like much but that cloth has some amazing scrubbing power and will quickly replace your yucky dish sponge. Cut it in half or quarters to get more bang for your buck!

Top Product Highlight: The body cloth!

Over the next several days I will be highlighting my favorite top selling products from Norwex. The last 2 posts highlighted the Household Package, which is the nuts & bolts, meat & potatoes, bread & butter of the Norwex company, so be sure to read those posts first. Today I will talk about one of my favorite products, the body cloth!! It removes an entire face of makeup, all the oil, dirt, grease from your skin, and gently exfoliates & removes the dead skin with just water! Seriously, I can attest to the fact that this cloth not only works, it has improved my skin condition drastically. I haven't washed my face or body with soap since August (ok awkward silence here...) Seriously, I haven't, and I haven't lost a single friend. My skin is healthier, I don't buy face wash, makeup remover, body wash, and I use a lot less lotion! Works on the toughest jobs!

The microfiber itself takes the place of soap and removes all of the oil, dirt, makeup, etc from your face without leaving any soap residue behind. Also has silver woven into the cloth so it self-purifies, meaning you can wash your body/face with the same cloth day after day after day before you have to wash it! It won't get stinky, is super soft, and gets the job done.

Comes in a pack of 3 for $19.99, I'm sure you spend more than that a month on face wash and make up remover alone. And these cloths will last you AT LEAST 2 years, likely longer. Choose 1 of 3 colors.
