I purchased my first set of cloths, an Enviro and Window Cloth with much reluctance, as I am very skeptical. I was renovating a home and needed to clean all the windows. I dropped my children off at school and headed over to the home in February, it was -5Co and sunny, not the optimal time to clean interior and exterior windows. I took with me a pack of paper towels, my window cleaner, vinegar and a bucket, because I was sure the cloths weren't going to work! I still bought them, so I thought I should try them. I started cleaning the windows and was blown away by how clean the windows were and how fast and easy the cloths were to use! No streaks and clear windows! I zipped throught the entire 2 story house and cleaned all the windows, including winter storm windows to a total of 54 surfaces. I was done and picked up my children for lunch. Needless to say, I was sold!!!

I found bubble gum stuck on my shorts. I tried to cut it off and it wouldn't budge. I used an Enviro Cloth and it just rolled off.

I took the screens off my kitchen windows and cleaned the windows inside and out with the Enviro Cloth and Window Cloth. When my husband came home he thought I had the windows wide open – doesn’t this prove how clean those windows really were!

I did a show in a hair salon and we used an Enviro Cloth and the Window Cloth to take hairspray off the mirrors. It worked great. Everyone was impressed!

My sister loves using the Window Cloth after a damp Enviro Cloth to polish her granite countertops. This leaves the countertops shiny without the dull residue that used to be left behind from traditional cleaners. I also find the Window Cloth works great on stainless steel appliances.
My husband has patients who are farmers and recently, a farm wife complained to him that her husband "stole" her Window Cloths for his combine windows! He says they work great and now nothing "sticks" to his windshield!
We have a neighbour who works in the gold drilling business (in Alaska and Nevada) and he LOVES using a wet Enviro and the Window Cloth for his truck windows and inside the truck as their vehicles get very dirty from all the dust and dirt.

My neighbour got a car cloth from his wife and he is sceptical as his car is his baby, but decides to try it. He is in love! His car buff buddy comes over and my neighbour tells him, "You need to see this cloth my wife gave me. It works like a charm. It is best cloth I have ever used!" His buddy say, "No, I have the best cloth ever, I got it at a trade show." When my neighbour shows his buddy his Norwex Car Cloth, his buddy excitedly says, "Yes, that's the one!!!"

My experience with the Car Cloth is the first time I used it to dry and polish my Navy Blue Van. My husband came home from work and the first thing he noticed was my shining new Chevy Van. His first question was "Did you wax your Van?" I just chuckled and said, "No silly that would have been too much work!! I used my new Norwex Car Cloth!!" Needless to say he was very impressed!!
Crystal B from Madelia, MN USA

I gave my brother-in-law the car cloth along with the basic Enviro Cloth. Months later I asked him how he liked them. He liked them but would only use them inside the car. Because he felt they would scratch his car, he wouldn't use the Car Cloth on the exterior. After much discussion and prodding, he said he would try it, but I had to pay for any damages done by the cloth and I readily agreed to that. A few hours later I received a call from him and all he said was, "You're right." If you knew him as I do, you would know that was a big concession on his part!

I have a motorcycle and so do friends of mine and we love the Car Cloth. It is way better than other products out there as you don't have to wring it out as much and, when you do, it is so much easier to wring out. Even my male friends love this cloth! We even carry it in our bikes because it is very compact for traveling.

"I love all my Norwex products, but I have to say your Dusting Mitt is unbelievable. Dusting is one of my least favorite household chores, but now-a-days, once I get started, I am looking for places that need to be gone over. Using the “Mitt” is so easy and quick, plus there are no streaks or dust particles left behind on surfaces. The area I really notice the difference is our glass top TV stand, as well as the flat screen TV. Before I found the Norwex Dusting Mitt, I would worry that the products I was using may cause some damage to the TV or the nice wood surfaces. I am never afraid to recommend this or any of your fabulous products to my friends and co workers."

I love using 2 Dusting Mitts at a time each time I dust! It's much faster and easier to pick up things with both hands like knick knacks, photo frames and you have no thumb print left behind! I have also found using one on each hand is an easier way to clean spindles on stair cases, dining chairs, ceiling fans, wooden blinds or plastic blinds, dusting lamp shades (especially those upside-down bowl shaped ones!); Using a Mitt on each hand is also a great way for gently dusting plant leaves!
The Dusting Mitt is great for electronics, TV’s, computer screens (which collect so much dust), dusting leather furniture or inside your vehicle, the dash board especially. The Dusting Mitt simply makes dusting easy!

I love my Norwex Dusting Mitt! I use it on all three of my housecleaning jobs as well as in my own home. It is so easy, it's like I'm not even dusting!"

I have been told by a daycare provider that the little fingerprints all over her furniture used to be so difficult to remove: now she lightly mists the Dusting Mitt and the finger prints are removed with ease.
My sister actually puts it on her foot and dusts her baseboards!!!!

I LOVE the Norwex Dusting Mitt, especially for my wooden blinds. I dusted one set of blinds in my study with the Dusting Mitt 3 weeks ago, and left the other set of blinds so my party guests could see the amount of dust that was on the blinds. The blinds I dusted with the dusting mitt are still dust free after 3 weeks!! I love how easy the Dusting Mitt is to use and how the dust clings to the Mitt.

"I live out near the country…we have fields on two sides and get lots of cottony, seedy type things in my screens. I don’t have to haul them to the tub or hose them off any longer. I just wipe the Norwex Dusting Mitt over both sides and they're clean again. LOVE it!"
Stephanie S from South Dakota, USA

"I did a show a couple of months ago and wanted to show how the Dusting Mitt worked. The house had quite low ceilings so I stretched up to reach for the ceiling fan. The hostess started spinning in her chair, screaming - nooooo!! But, it was too late - I had already started dusting the fan. The guests all held their heads as they were expecting a ton of dust to drop down on their heads and the food…which of course it didn't; it all stayed on the mitt. It was quite funny to see their faces of horror first, and then the disbelief when it didn't all drizzle down on the food and their heads. Safe to say I sold a fair bit of Dusting Mitts that night! The hostess told me later she hadn't dusted there for over a year!!"

I LOVE using the Dusting Mitt damp to clean window screens, and my leather furniture and vehicle seats. It works like a charm!!

Because of the capacity of the Dusting Mitt, I was able to dust a 4500 square foot home in its entirety without ever washing the Mitt. When one side filled up, I turned it over and kept going.

This is an incredible testimonial featured in this month's
Ripple Effect Newsletter. It is worth sharing!
I have been known to a great many people as the “half and half Lady”, because of an experiment that I did with the Norwex Lifting Serum.
This is my story and how the Lifting Serum worked for me:
A couple of weeks prior to the 2009 Norwex Conference, I was discussing with another consultant (Sue) just how this serum works. We had received a sample but not a lot of information on the product. So we decided to do our usual facial care, adding in the Lifting Serum– but only on one side of our face. I did this without telling anyone, and the results, as you can see from the picture, where significant.
As the last new product was being introduced at conference, the Lifting Serum, I turned to the consultant beside me (Melanie) and asked her, “Can you tell which side of my face I have been using the lifting serum on?” She screamed, and then the entire table screamed as they could not believe the difference between the one side of my face and the other.
The sobering part of all this was as I came down from the stage a woman stopped me and said “I saw you in the corridor and thought you had Bell’s palsy.” Needless to say I wanted to rush home and put a truck load of the serum on the other side. Yes, if you are wondering,both sides are again equal!
I refer to my bottle of lifting serum as “Botox in a bottle”.
Here is my Norwex Facial Regimen:
- I begin by cleansing and exfoliating, using only water, with one of the Norwex Body Pack cloths (these cloths even remove water proof mascara with just water).
- I apply the Norwex Face & Neck Gel - which tones, hydrates and softens my skin with a rejuvenating composition. It is also awesome used on sun burns and my husband loves it as an aftershave.
- I then gently apply the Norwex Lifting Serum (all over my face) minimizing my wrinkles, promoting elasticity and skin vitality. I let the serum sit for a few minutes before moving to the next step.
- For day time – I then apply the Norwex Day Cream to add moisture and loads of anti-oxidants for healthy fresh looking skin. At night – I apply the Norwex Night Cream to add moisture and replenish the look and feel of my skin.
What I love most about these products is that a little goes a long way because they are very concentrated and I don’t have to worry about dangerous ingredients that can lead to many health problems.
Since introducing the lifting serum into my skin care routine I have had two facials done by an Esthetician and each time I was told “whatever it is that you are doing for your skin…Keep It Up”.

When you are on the go during the winter months it is important to take good care of yourself and your family in order to stay healthy. Winter is the time of the year when many people experience a drop in their moods and immunity and watch their waistlines increase. This is especially true if you are lacking sunshine. The following are some simple lifestyle changes you can adopt to stay healthy during this blustery season!
Sound Slumber for Sunnier Moods
While there’s generally no hesitation for spending extra time in bed, make sure you’re getting quality sleep and enough of it, as loss of sleep can dramatically impact mood. In addition, try to adjust your wake time to be in alignment with the sun to help the body’s Circadian rhythms, as research shows that a disrupted body clock causes depression and lethargy.
Get Physical
While you may or may not reap the benefits from outdoor exercise during the winter depending on your location, you don’t have to abandon a workout regimen completely. More and more research suggests that moderate, regular exercise supports a strong immune system, not to mention how this combats stress. Some ideas to keep you moving and fit are to hit the gym, watch an exercise DVD in your living room or invest in equipment you can use at home such as free weights or a treadmill.
It’s not your imagination… you are hungrier in the winter! The body’s natural response to cold weather is to constrict the skin’s pores and superficial connective tissue to help deter heat loss, which redirects body heat into the core, including the stomach. To fill up without adding extra calories, choose nutritious and satisfying foods such as low sodium soups, stews, steamed vegetables, and oatmeal. Try eating a little more lean protein to stay full longer, such as eggs, beans, chicken and fish.

There are many things that parents can do to encourage their children to do household chores. Here are some suggestions:
*Start early. Parents should start giving their children household responsibilities when they are young. Most toddlers love to help their parents. Parents should take advantage of this desire and give their children small and simple tasks. As children get older, they should then be given more challenging tasks.
*Show how to do the chore. Children need to know exactly what's expected of them. Therefore, it is a good idea for parents to make sure their children know exactly what their duties are. Parents should thoroughly go over the duties required, and should actually show their children how to do the chore at hand. It might also be a good idea to write down and post all duties that make up a single chore for children's reference. At first, parents should monitor their children to make sure things are going well. Parents can reduce monitoring once children know how to do the chore. *Teach one chore at a time. It is probably a good idea for parents to thoroughly teach their children how to do one chore, and then to make sure that they are consistently doing it correctly before moving on to other chores. Young children can become confused when they are required to learn too much at one time.
*Break down the chore into small parts. When teaching chores, parents should break each one down into small parts. For example, instead of telling a child to clean his bedroom and leaving it at that, parents should list all of the things that make up the chore of cleaning the bedroom, for example, changing the sheets, picking up toys and putting them away, dusting the dresser, and vacuuming. Parents should then show their children how to do each part of the chore correctly.*Explain. Children need to know why pitching in and helping is important. Parents should explain that doing chores benefits the whole family, and that every person must do his or her part to keep things going smoothly.
*Change the nature of chores as children grow. As children grow, they can be given more and more challenging chores. Most parents have a good idea of what their children are and are not able to do. Therefore, parents should make sure that the chores they give their children are appropriate to their children's ages and abilities.
*Monitor at first. At first, parents should make sure they are available to answer questions and give guidance should their children need it. At first, parents can inspect their children's work to make sure the job is being done correctly. The younger children are, the more supervision they will need. After children have become accustomed to their new duties, parents can cut back on monitoring and inspecting. Older children can be given complete responsibility for completion of chores.*Set up a reward system or a chart system. If parents have trouble getting their children to do their chores or to do them correctly, a reward/chart system can be set up to encourage cooperation. The general guidelines include making a list of the criteria for successful completion of the chore. Then, a chart should be posted in a prominent location in the home. Parents, or children, if they're old enough, should make a mark on the chart for each completed chore. Parents can either award points that can be traded in for a desired reward, or they can simply give a desired reward in exchange for the completion of agreed-upon chores. Finally, parents and children should decide on the reward to be awarded. Instead of material rewards like candy or toys, it is better if rewards are non-material, such as a trip to the park with Mom and Dad, or being allowed to stay up a half hour past bedtime. Prizes can be awarded daily or weekly. For younger children, it is probably best to have daily rewards. For older children, rewards can be given weekly.

Our bodies are at least 60% water and it contributes to blood, lymph, digestive juices, urine, tears, and sweat.
Water requirements vary greatly from person to person. High physical activity that makes you sweat, your diet and hot climates can all increase your needs considerably. With regards to diet, fresh fruits and veggies are high in water whereas a diet high in sodium (1000g/day), fiber (25g/day) and protein increases your need for water.
How many cups of water per day should you drink? Try this equation: take your weight in pounds and divide by 2. Divide that number by 8 and you will have how many cups of water you need per day.
Spring, reverse osmosis, and distilled water, herbal teas and diluted juices (½ and ½) all count. Be aware that caffeine (in the forms of coffee, black, white or green teas, colas, chocolate and hot chocolate) and alcohol drain your body of water. If you drink these products, add 1 cup of water for every cup (8 oz) you consume in a day.
Is there a difference between waters? Yes, because of chlorine, fluoride, mineral content, etc. Although there is much debate about each of these, tap water is relatively safe and clean in North America. Taste is probably the deciding factor. I believe that reverse osmosis is the healthiest form of water for most people, however, if cost is a factor, drink what you can. Water is such an important component of nutrition, be sure to include enough water in your daily diet.
