Headlights vs Envirocloth & Cleaning Paste

The weather is starting to get a little warmer, so I felt the urge to go outside and start cleaning my car. Where should I start? Hmmmm...look at those headlights!

They were pretty cloudy looking so I thought I would first see how much just wiping them down with an envirocloth would do. There is obviously just some regular old dirt & grime (and probably some winter salt) on them. After a quick wipe down with a damp  envirocloth, things were a little clearer. 

Then, I said to myself, "Self, I wonder what would happen if I used a little Cleaning Paste?" Well, I just couldn't resist. I whipped out my handy jar of Cleaning Paste, got a little on my damp envirocloth and got to scrubbing. I could see that more was coming off! After a minute or so, I wiped the paste off with a clean area of the enviro, and dried up with the window polishing cloth, and voila!

Of course there are some areas that are scratched and nothing is going to resolve that, but I was quite impressed with my little green cloth and the Cleaning paste. What else will I find to clean? Stay tuned......

Magic Wand (aka Enviro Wand)

Make cleaning easier with the Norwex Enviro Wand. The wand is bendable to reach into every nook and cranny! The sleeve is removable to make for easy washing. My favorite feature (besides the fact that it holds on to dust to keep me from sneezing!) is that it can reach all the high areas in my home by attaching to the end of the Norwex telescopic mop handle.

Laundry Solutions Part 1

Laundry. The bane of my existence. Your's too? So, I'm not alone. Not only is it time consuming and seemingly never ending, it is full of chemicals and fillers that are not contributing to our well being. More bad news about laundry? Yes! But, I'm also here to offer you some alternative solutions that will save your health and your budget.

Let's start with the bad news first.

Most laundry detergents are bulked up with fillers that can cause cloths to become dingy over time because they leave a residue on our "clean" clothes. This residue can be absorbed through the skin and can cause rashes, itching, sinus problems and other allergic reactions.

Now for the good news!

There are no fillers in NORWEX Ultra Power Plus Laundry Detergent! See the results of an easy test of putting just 1 tsp of Norwex UPP Detergent in water compared to 1 tsp of Tide. After 15 minutes, you can see which one is really free of fillers.

[ In the above picture, the clear mixture is the Norwex Detergent (after 15 minutes) and the cloudy is Tide.] 

Of course, you wonder about the cost. What if I told you that Norwex's Ultra Power Plus can also save you money?

Give it a try for your family! Better and safer cleaning and easier on the budget too!
