Norwex microfibre is a blend of polyester and polyamide. This fibre is 1/200th the size of a strand of human hair. When this high-quality microfibre is combined with the right knitting process, it creates an extremely effective cleaning material. This material can hold up to seven times its weight in matter. Unlike many other types of cloth that smear dirt across the surface you are trying to clean, microfibre cloths remove dirt, germs, bacteria and debris from the surface. Used dry the static effect created enhances the microfibre’s ability to attract dirt and dust particles. As you lightly wipe the surface, the microfibre attracts and draws up even the smallest particles of dust, trapping them in the fibres. Used wet the microfibres work together to give an excellent cleaning effect. Wet, wring and wipe away dirt and debris from all washable surfaces. For spot removing, spray water on the surface being cleaned. In Laboratory testing Norwex microfibre has been proven to remove up to 99.9% of the bacteria from surfaces. Norwex microfibre is backed with an exceptional Warranty of 2 years or 500 washings.

Microfibre cloths are environmentally friendly. They can reduce the consumption of cleaning chemicals in your home up to 90% while at the same time reducing your exposure to toxic fumes. This can make a big difference for anyone with allergies and chemical sensitivities. In important areas of our homes like bathrooms and kitchens, microfibre cloths may remove up to 99.9% of the bacteria from surfaces, resulting in a cleaner, healthier environment. Microfibre when used properly picks up matter even from a surface’s microscopic pores to achieve a real CLEAN. Traditional cleaning methods apply chemicals to a surface thereby disinfecting that surface, however some dirt remains in surface pores. Microfibre cloths are very durable and can withstand the rigors of everyday use.

Our antibacterial microfibre is one of the most innovative products in the industry! Norwex has developed a unique technology that combines an antibacterial silver-based agent with our microfibre. The silver is actually embedded inside the tiny microfibre and inactivates the bacteria that it picks up in its fibres. The silver within the microfibre demonstrates its effectiveness against strains of pathogenic bacteria, yeast and viruses, such as: E.Coli, klebsiella pneumoniae, proteus vulgaris, salmonella typhi, staphylococcus aureus, streptococcus faecalis, streptococcus pyogenes, candida albicans, MRSA, SARS coronavirus.

Laboratory test results proved that in a controlled environment, anitbac microfibre removed 99.9% of germs and bacteria from washable surfaces and inactivated them within a 24 hour timeframe. The silver antibacterial fibre has self purification properties, where germs and bacteria are inactivated. This means cleaner cloths, less frequent laundering and a reduction in cross-contamination.

 What are the proper washing and care instructions for Norwex microfibre?

Norwex Antibacterial Microfibre is the most innovative product in the industry. Unlike normal cleaning products, which require a chemical component to clean the surface, the microfibres within the cloth pick up and retain all the dust, dirt and bacteria. This is where the ‘antibacterial’ properties of Norwex microfibre come into play. The silver in our microfibre inhibits bacterial growth.

The Norwex mission is to improve quality of life by radically reducing chemicals in our homes. Norwex Microfibre products are environmentally friendly and easy to launder.

Maintenance of Norwex Microfibre Products:

Washing

• We suggest that used microfibre cloths be washed regularly with a good quality detergent (without any bleach, bleaching agents or fabric softeners).
• Wash in a cold or hot wash up to 90 degrees celsius.
• Try to combine your microfibres in the wash with lint free textiles.
• Use our Rubber Brush to remove dirt and debris from the mop pads between laundering

 Does Norwex guarantee their Microfibre?

Yes, Norwex microfibre is backed with a 2 year warranty.

The Norwex cleaning system can be used most anywhere cleaning is required – home, office, vehicles, recreation equipment and even personal care.

Microfibre cloths may smell if the proper care instructions are not followed or if the water in your home or office is hard and high in mineral content. Only use environmentally friendly soaps without fillers when you are laundering to prevent the microfibre pores from being clogged and causing odour. If your cloths smell we recommend trying one of the following suggestions: washing them in hot water, or boiling for 10 minutes to remove any build-up on the fibres.

All Norwex Microfibre is backed by a 2 year warranty.

Always Dry Mop prior to using the Wet Mop. The yellow mop pads are for “Dry” cleaning, and the Blue Mop Pads which are antibacterial are for “Wet” washing. Be sure to move the mop in a wide figure-8 pattern from left to right in front of you, bringing the mop towards you as you back up so that you will be moving the dirt and debris in one direction. When wet mopping, moisten the mop with clean water before using. If the mop is too wet, wring it out prior to use.

The Dry Mop Pad is made of 100% polyester while the Superior Dry Mop Pad is made of 100% Norwex microfibre and boasts all the benefits of microfibre in its ability to pickup and hold the smallest particles of dust and debris and hold water.

Attach the Mop Base Brackets onto the top side of the Mop Base and fasten the Window Cloth, Large Enviro Cloth or Car Cloth in place by wrapping it around the Mop Base and firmly pressing the cloth into the rubber grommet slits on the Mop Base Brackets. Lock the base by pushing the green lever until it locks into position.

Loosen the Telescopic Mop Handle by twisting the upper blue handle to the left. Pull gently to nose height. Tighten the handle by gently twisting to the right. To attach the Mop Base to the Telescopic Mop Handle, depress the green bumps on the Mop Base and slide the Telescopic Handle over until the green bumps fit into the holes. To lock the base for doing walls and ceilings, push the blue lever until it locks into position. Attach either the Wet or Dry Mop Pads to the Mop Base.

Norwex Mattress Spray contains the dormant or resting stage of live bacteria. When they find a food source, and other growing conditions are right, the bacteria become active and they will grow. To eat, they produce enzymes that are a type of protein. It is the enzymes they produce while eating that break down accumulated dust mites, dust mite fecal matter, pet dander, dead skin cells, or any organic matter which causes unpleasant odours, allowing this matter to be consumed. They will continue to consume this material until all organic matter is removed, converting it into carbon dioxide and water. Once there is nothing left for them to feed on, they disintegrate. Similar to our other “enzyme-based” or microbial products, our Mattress Cleaner does not “kill” anything (including dust mites). It works by eating up all of the organic matter that the dust mites would feed on, as well as the accumulated dust mite bodies and fecal matter. No food = no more growth of mites……at least for a while…….until there is more food. The overgrowth of the good bacteria at the expense of the dust mites is called competitive inhibition. We simply add enough “good guys” to be sure they out compete the “bad guys”.

The spray is safe for children and pets because there is nothing in it different from what is around us on a daily basis. We are surrounded by a micro-world of bacteria and other microbes that keep each other in balance, and this same micro world exists on our skin, in our mouth, and throughout our body. The Mattress Spray does not contain acids, alkalis, or solvents; however it is important to use this product correctly.

Shake the bottle before using. Spray once or twice on the pillow, 5-6 sprays on a single bed, 7-8 on a double bed, 9-10 on a queen bed and 10-12 on a king size bed. Allow to air and dry before making bed with clean sheets. If too much product is used (more than the mattress can absorb) it is possible that an allergy-sensitive person may react. Treat bed once a month for the first three months, then every second month for allergy sufferers, otherwise every three months.

The Mattress cleaner has a two year shelf life and should be stored closed, in a cool place. This 2 year period of time starts from the moment oxygen is introduced by pumping or opening the bottle.

Beds, pillows, comforters, fluffy toys, upholstery, vehicle seats, pet beds, sofas, anywhere organic material collects.

The Mattress Cleaner will not destroy bed bugs. It will only eliminate any organic material.

We do not endorse to use it on brushed stainless steel.

Yes you can, only if the grout is sealed. The cleaning paste is a water soluble paste and so is grout.

Yes it can be only if it is not Scotch Guarded. Always check with the manufacturer and test in an inconspicuous spot.

The Carpet Stain Buster uses a naturally derived surfactant (soap) derived from Yucca (a plant) – this helps to break down soil/dirt etc, it also contains orange extract which helps to clean.

The Sanira System is a product that is environmentally friendly, all parts are recyclable, and the soap and descaler agents are biodegradable.  The soap is made from vegetable sources and has properties that prevent bacteria growth. In addition, you need to use only a very small amount of the cleaning agent to clean the toilet making it last for a very long time.  These features save you money and also save the environment.  The system’s toilet brush is made in one piece, with channels in the bristles, preventing the growth of bacteria and making it easy to keep the system clean.

The Sanira system is great to clean the toilet, but it is not formulated to remove rust or calcium.

Norwex does not endorse doing this because water needs to flow through the magnet ball in order for it to be effective.

Norwex Descaler is an effective and environmentally friendly product for cleaning and removing lime.  Spray the liquid on the surface, and let it work for up to 5 minutes.  The sprayed surface should not be allowed to dry before washing it off with a moist Enviro Cloth or the Bathroom Scrub Mitt.

On a microscopic level dust mites can look like a swarm of bees around your head when you sleep. While perhaps not the only cause, these little critters can cause snoring problems and breathing difficulties when sleeping. There are 15 different species of mites that have been found living with us in our homes. Just one ounce of common house dust can host as many as 42,000 dust mites. Approximately 10 million dust mites live in a bed; 8 million in a mattress and 2 million in a pillow. The primary food source of dust mites is dead skin cells from humans (which accounts for approximately 80% of the dust in a home). Dust mite populations thrive in indoor environments. They live inside of carpeting, furniture, and especially inside of mattresses, bedding and pillows.

The Mattress Cleaner targets dust mite excrement. Dust mite feces are one of the most toxic allergens to humans and pets. Each single dust mite can excrete as many as 20 fecal pellets every day. Dust mites and their feces can become airborne simply from walking across carpet, sitting on furniture cushions, climbing into bed or moving a pillow while sleeping. Inhaled fecal matter can lead to eye-ear-nose-throat infections, headaches, fatigue, depression, sleep difficulties, snoring and respiratory illnesses such as sinusitis, allergies and asthma attacks.

The Magnet Ball prevents calcium molecules from building up in the dishwasher and washing machines, resulting in softer water.  When using the Magnet Ball use 50-70% less soap.  Do not use in front-loading machines.

Pull a cloth through the center of the ball to clean the inside and run it under the tap until the water runs clear.  This should be done on a regular basis.

Norwex Spirinetts are made from a high quality stainless steel that does not rust or deteriorate.

It removes the biofilm which is a group of microbes already living on the fruit –some of which may be organisms that spoil the fruit.  Fresh Wash is a safe and effective way to clean fruits and vegetables extending the shelf life by up to 2–3 times.

It is a sponge scrubber covered in plastic and polyester and is safe for use on scratch sensitive surfaces. Always test in an inconspicuous spot.

The Spirisponge does not contain silver.

The bristles remove the plaque and are not antibacterial. The base of the toothbrush which is silver may eliminate bacteria growth and build-up.

The scrubbing motion removes plaque from your teeth. Using toothpaste provides additional benefits depending on the toothpaste you choose. Some benefits of using toothpaste can be freshening your breath and desensitising your teeth.
