If you are like me, you have been subjected to years and years of advertising aimed at convincing us that chemicals are the only option for cleaning our homes and our bodies.

When I discovered Norwex Enviro Products, the consumer in me said it was too good to be true, but my training as a nurse made me look deeper.

The next few entries are directed at exploring the basic science behind Norwex Enviro Products, as explained in the product manual.

The Dirt On Dirt


Residuals attract dirt

When surfaces are left moist and wet after cleaning, only the water component of your cleaning solution evaporates leaving broken down dirt, grime and chemicals to dry on the surface.

The definition of CLEAN is to remove all forms of contaminants from a surface leaving it in as original condition as possible.

This means that in order to leave surfaces CLEAN we cannot leave residuals behind on them.

Residuals determine the frequency of needed cleaning.

The fewer residuals left behind on a surface the better, as residuals determine how often that surface should be cleaned.
