Throughout history, people
have taken advantage of the
antimicrobial properties of silver.

The Greeks and Romans stored
water in silver as it was believed this
kept the liquids fresh.

During the plagues in Europe,  wealthy families ate from silver plates and utensils, in the hope that silver might protect them from the disease that was claiming their neighbours’ lives.

The expression ‘born with a silver spoon in the mouth’ had a dual meaning. Not only did it refer to wealth, it also referred to health. People were eating off silver spoons because they knew that an infection couldn’t survive on silver.  People were taking advantage of the natural ANTIMICROBIAL properties of silver.

Today many products are produced using silver to give antibacterial properties to that surface. Silver yoga clothing, silver soap , silver-lined curtains in hospitals, silver-lined bandages, silver-lined bandaids, silver toothbrushes etc.

Norwex Antibac products use the proven effectiveness of silver to kill the microbes lurking in your home.  Combat new bacteria, with the most reliable technology!
