It all started with one red cloth…
Gerd Doroshuk was given a red cloth by her sister in Norway and didn't understand what all the fuss was about, until she used it! In 1999 Debbie Bolton & Gerd Doroshuk travelled to Norway to meet with the company Eidsvol Mjiloproduktor, and explore this opportunity that had literally been gifted upon them. The arrangements were made, and Norwex - The NORWegian EXperience - began in North America.

Why Norwex microfiber?
Norwex microfiber is a blend of polyester and polyamide. This fiber is 1/100th the size of a strand of human hair. When this high-quality microfiber 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, microfiber cloths remove dirt, germs, bacteria and debris from the surface.
Used dry the static effect created enhances the microfiber’s ability to attract dirt and dust particles. As you lightly wipe the surface, the microfiber attracts and draws up even the smallest particles of dust, trapping them in the fibers. Used wet the microfibers 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. Norwex microfiber may remove up to 99.9% of the bacteria from surfaces. Norwex microfiber is backed with an exceptional 2 year warranty.
What are the benefits of cleaning with Norwex microfiber?
• Microfiber 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, microfiber cloths may remove up to 99.9% of the bacteria from surfaces, resulting in a cleaner, healthier environment.

What is Norwex antibacterial microfiber?
Our antibacterial microfiber 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 microfiber. The antibacterial agent is actually embedded inside the tiny microfiber and inactivates the bacteria that it picks up in its fibers.
Norwex backs its commitment to quality with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. We will replace or exchange to your complete satisfaction, any merchandise you receive that is damaged or defective.
Microfiber cloths can be used wet or dry
Dry:
The static effect created when using the Microfiber cloths dry enhances the ability to attract dirt and dust particles. As you lightly wipe the surface, the microfiber attracts and draws up even the smallest particles of dust, trapping them in the fibers until the cloths are laundered.
Wet:
The microfibers 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.
Care Instructions:
To save the environment and reduce the use of detergents, we suggest that slightly dirty cloths and mops be washed with a little Norwex Dishwahing Liquid under warm running water and used again before laundering.
• Launder microfiber with other lint-free laundry
• Use only Norwex Ultra Power Plus or another environmentally friendly detergent without fillers and bleach to clean our products
• Do not use bleach or fabric softener on microfiber. Bleach and fabric softeners destroy the product’s ability to clean effectively
• Do not use on anti-glare coated surfaces
• Use our Rubber Brush to remove dirt and debris from the mop pads between laundering

Mission To improve quality of life by radically reducing the use of chemicals in personal care and cleaning
Health & Ecology
In the last 50 years more than 80,000 new chemicals have been produced and introduced into the environment. "Ecology" refers to the way human beings, animals, and other life forms and nature interact and influence each other.
The ecological approach considers that all living species and nature are interdependent, and that there are limitations to what nature can absorb in terms of human activities such as pollution. Change something here, and the consequences will pop up there. Radical change -- manmade or otherwise -- may overwhelm the delicate balance in the environment, resulting in unintended and dramatic negative change.
We must find a way to provide for the needs of the present, without sacrificing the ability of future generations to provide for their needs. Contributing to the change by becoming part of the Norwex family will result in an improvement in quality of life.
"We strive to improve quality of life rather than standard of living."
Behind this aim lies the value and beauty of life itself, both for us, and other life forms.
