How to clean the shower without harsh chemicals.... My Top 5 Shower Cleaning solutions!

Norwex Essentials: Where do I start?

People often ask me, what are the best Norwex products to start with? In this post I am going to run through some of our basic products and how you can use them. Some of our “have to haves”. But in answer to the question- I want some Norwex- Where do I start? My answer is…

“you can’t go wrong with one of our sets!”

Why? Because they are DISCOUNTED (who doesn’t love things on special?) and they contain some of our most loved and popular items and they SAVE money! I will cover some of the sets that cover the Norwex basics and great places to start 🙂 Switch your sprays and cleaning products to these cloths & cleaning paste and you have a natural, time and money saving solution for your everyday cleaning.
ANNNND…. NO MORE harsh chemicals. Winning at life right there!
Norwex Essentials: Where do I start?

We have lots of sets available for every budget. All products have a 60 day satisfaction guarantee and most a 2 year warranty. In saying that- the cloths just go on and on and on. I still have many of my original cloths (so some over 10 years old!).

Before I go into some basics- if you don’t know about HOW our microfibre works, please check out this post here, which goes into more specific details.

Below are some of our “Norwex Essentials”, and some of our most popular items found in our sets.

A short video on the Safe Haven 5 Kit, one of our most popular kits!

Just a little… try the Kick Start Kit…

What is in the “Kick start kit“? (read more about them below).

  • EnviroCloth
  • Window Cloth
  • Dusting Mitt

The AMAZING Duo… the EnviroCloth & Window/polish cloth

The Enviro is our “everything” cloth. This tightly woven microfibre cloth has 2.9 million metres of microfibre in it. So as you clean surfaces the tiny hooks on each fibre pull up any residue and dirt off the surface.

The EnviroCloth can be used dry or damp. And clean surfaces such as windows, mirrors, shower screens, walls, carpet stains, couches, car interiors, cupboards and more.

Then add its “bestie” the window cloth and you have a serious combination. This combo comes with a warning though! Put stickers on the window as glass does look invisible! Read about a true (a slighly humourous story) here about that! Glass REALLY does look invisible.

Scroll & have a look at some pictures below! 🙂

The INCREDIBLE Dusting mitt.

The dusting mitt is like a MAGNET!! I have used mitts and cloths in the past that just swoosh everything around! Not this one. At my very first Norwex party- the consultant cleaned my fans which were directly above US- and we were all slightly concerned we would end up as dust bunnies (as I hadn’t cleaned those fans in 6 months!) however we all had dropped jaws by the end of that demonstration!

The structure of the ultra fine fibres and the natural static charge inherent to synthetic products enables the Dusting Mitt to attract and trap dust and dirt more efficiently than cotton. You can use anywhere that requires dusting! For example: blinds, wooden Venetians, fans, banisters, vehicle dashboards, tops of cupboards, lamps, screens etc.

A little more… Try the Dream Starter Kit…

Dream Starter Kit (I LOVE this kit… (read more about them below)

…The EnviroCloth, Window Cloth & Dusting Mitt- see the above details. Plus it includes the… other items above.

EnviroScrubs

Convenient with 3 in a pack (so you can split them up around your home). They are dual sided and padded. 

Enviro cloth on one side + scrub cloth on the other means that you can tackle any gooey grime, soap scum, baked on spills and more.

They are 16cm x 16cm and fit easily in the palm of your hand, so my customers who don’t like the bulk of the mitt or a full sized Norwex cloth love these!

🌱Examples of uses around the home – pots, pans, benches, sinks, tiles, shower screens, showers,  backsplashes in the kitchen, tiled walls & more)

Cleaning Paste

The cleaning paste is an environmentally friendly cleaning and polishing agent that works with a damp Scrub Cloth, Envirocloth or
Kitchen Cloth to clean, polish and protect plastic, enamel, ceramics, chrome, steel, aluminium and porcelain surfaces in one application. Works great to remove rust, stains and scuff marks, and on bathroom sinks and tiles too!

I USED to love gumption- anyone else love their gumption? I didn’t love the yellow revealed paint whilst getting a mark off the wall though…

I also USED to love those little magic erasers- anyone love those? Note I am using the past tense- I no longer use these little (expensive) chemical bombs- I usually just use a DAMP enviro cloth or scrub cloth (if it’s in the bathroom) and MAGIC- GONE…

Kitchen Cloth & Kitchen Towel

Get rid of those stinky chux, sponges, spray and wipe and paper towel & enter these amazing kitchen cloths. These fast drying and absorbent cloths are made from microfibre and since they have our “baclock” silver technology within the cloth which is added during manufacturing, it inhibits bacterial odour, mould and mildew growth within the cloth so they just don’t smell like other dish cloths.

Where do you use them? It is fantastic for wiping kitchen tables and benches, stovetops, refrigerator shelves, cleaning up kitchen spills and washing up (just use it on the blunt side of sharp knives). Use them on stainless steel, enamel, ceramic, glass, chrome, granite, marble, slate, quartz, tile, wood, plastic, stone and china. Wring out and hang cloth after use. If you have a thermomix these are a MUST have! If you get STREAKY benchtops they are also a MUST HAVE!

AFTER… NICE

Just a few comments about the cloths that customers have written in the past few months,

“Rachelle you gave me one of these. I love the way it doesn’t leave any streaks on my benchtops”, Sue

“Love these, they clean everything in the kitchen, and they don’t get smelly… I wash them because I think I should now, not because they smell”, Sharon

“This has to be my favourite Norwex cloth! I got two in my Dream Starter Kit, but used them so frequently, I bought myself another two! Two on the go, two in the wash. Wipe your bench, your baby, your dishes, your hands and sticky faces. Clean up your food, crumbs and spills quickly and efficiently. And best of all, it rinses out really, really easily!” One of my past Norwex hosts
