Ok, so I know I talk about Norwex a little bit. Ok maybe a LOT, but I really love it! And no, I don't sell it.
This past January, I hosted a Norwex party and got a TON of free stuff. January is the Hostess Free Mop month, and yes, I got enough sales and got my free mop! But the mop isn't what I want to talk about.
Along with the free Antibac Cloth, and window cloth, and lint mitt, and hand cream, I got a few fantastic items. The Optic Cloth is amazing. I used it a few days ago to clean my glasses and OMG it was like seeing the house with new eyes. Like seriously clean. And I've been wearing glasses for almost 25 years! I did the same yesterday with my sunglasses and was SO impressed. I got one for my hubs for Christmas since he always used our window cloth and I could never find it. Great stocking stuffer and now he has his own cloth for his glasses. Well when I needed a few more dollars to get the free mop, I added the Optic Cloth so I could have one of my own and I'm SO glad I did. AMAZING!
I also got the dust mitt. Makes dusting SO easy. AND I got the kids package, that comes with a kid-sized antibac cloth, window cloth and dust mitt. M LOVES cleaning the windows with her own cloths, and dusting. In fact, sometimes she'll make fingerprints all over the windows just so she can clean them up. I don't mind, since she's cleaning them!
One item I've been very skeptical of is the cleaning paste. I've heard great things about it, but I found that baking soda worked so well that I didn't want to invest in that. BUT when I had free money to spend, I decided to give it a try and OH.MY.GOODNESS! So I won a bath mitt at the party, and whipped out the paste to clean the shower last week. AMAZING! When I would have to clean the shower again about 5 days later after cleaning with baking soda, I don't have to do it yet with the paste. And the mitt makes it so easy. Norwex was genius when they decided to make the cloths in a mitt form.
Keep an eye out for a review of the Norwex mop, and maybe a Norwex giveaway!!

The sun is shining....
and it's raining. And WOW I need to clean my windows.
Since I'm apparently not very good at keeping up this blog, I'm going to do a quick review of which methods I'm still using.
Cleaning windows/mirrors: I'm still using my Norwex Anti-bac Microfiber and window cleaning cloths. This combination works great, no chemicals, super fast and super clean.
Countertops/tubs/dusting: Still using the Norwex Anti-bac Microfiber cloth. This is a great multi-purpose cloth for cleaning jobs all over the house.
And now it's hailing....and sunny.
Toilets: I use baking soda and vinegar. You might remember I tried a few of those 'new and improved' toilet cleaning products but they just don't work as well as baking soda and vinegar.
Carpets: I also use baking soda and vinegar. I recently bought (or redeemed with points) a Bissel Green Machine. After mixing up the solution, I thought why am I using this in here, I could just fill the tank with my 50/50 vinegar/water solution. So sprinkle your stain with baking soda and spray with the vinegar/water. Let your kids help, they love the bubbles! If you don't have a carpet cleaner, let it dry, remove as much of the baking soda as you can, then blot out the rest. If you do have a carpet cleaner, use the brush/vacuum to remove the baking soda and the stain along with it. I love this, so easy and fast and SAFE!
I have a few reviews coming up to do and have had some trouble finding time, but will get to it now that my store stuff isn't as crazy, and is just steady.
Happy cleaning!

Norwex product review and GIVEAWAY
About two and a half years ago I attended a Norwex party at a neighbors house. I had never heard of the company, but was just getting to know my neighbors and thought that a girls night out with wine, and within walking distance was a great thing. Turns out, I learned about a great company with amazing environmentally friendly cleaning products. What's not to like about that?
So let me tell you about Norwex. From their website:
Cleaning with water only? And yet still removing bacteria from the surface? That's amazing! So at that party oh so many years ago, I bought one of the antibac microfiber cloths. And loved it. Maybe a little too much, and it's been very used.
So this fall, while thinking about what I could get K for Christmas, I thought, why not invest in some more Norwex cloths. As I've mentioned before, I'm the queen of Lysol wipes. With Norwex cloths, I can still basically wipe the counter clean, but I'm not using the Lysol chemicals, since the silver that's integrated into the microfiber has bacteria killing properties. Perfect! After mulling over the catalogue, I decided to get the 4-pack of color coded cloths, a window cloth and a car cloth. Now I have 4 brand new Antibac cloths, in blue, green, yellow and pink and I will color code them for dusting, bathroom, kitchen and other. I can clean windows using a wet Antibac cloth and polishing with the window cloth, and we can do the same with the car cloth.
Now time for the review!
My bathroom mirrors have never been so clean! What better time to test out a window cloth than on a freshly renovated bathroom mirror with drywall and renovation dust all over it? Oh and the mirrored closet doors with toddler fingerprints.

When I first contacted my Independent Norwex Consultant, Julie, I was looking for an environmentally friendly way to clean my glass shower doors. I don't know if it was soap scum or water marks, but it bugged me every time I had a shower. She said that the Antibac cloth should clean it off and I was skeptical. But I tried it today, as part of the review and she was right. In the after picture, you can see that I only cleaned the far right side of the door. It took a little bit more elbow grease than the mirrors but it's definitely a LOT cleaner!

Shower door after:
On the mirrors, I simply took my bathroom cloth and got it damp, washed the mirrors and then took the window polishing cloth and dried them off. No streaks, no lines between the sections I did, not even any dust. And no chemicals, just water! Not bad!
I'm glad I invested in these cloths. I hated cleaning with windex, especially since M loves to help clean the windows and I'm always so careful after to wash her hands, since I hate the idea of her touching those chemicals. Now, I don't have to worry at all. I also hate spraying windex since it goes everywhere and I'm paranoid about moving the toothbrushes. I don't think windex will polish our teeth. And since these cloths have the silver in them, I don't have to worry about the surfaces not really being clean.
Norwex also offers a variety of other cleaning and personal products including skin care, baby care and more. It is all sold through independent consultants and the company is always looking for more people to join. It's a great way to make some extra money while helping people stay clean and environmentally conscious. And no, I'm not a consultant. Although I have considered it.
For now, instead of selling these products, I'm going to give one away! I think that's much better! To win one Norwex Antibac Microfiber Cleaning Cloth, just fill out the form below!
