Norwex Mop System - Norwex Floor System

Do you hate cleaning your floors? Are you looking for an easy and extremely effective method for cleaning your wood floors, laminate, and tile? Tohe Norwex Mop can solve all your woes!

To get started with the Norwex Mop, you'll need the telescopic mop handle and mop base. The handle is adjustable in height (it should be as tall as your chin for proper use) so that you can expend the least amount of energy while mopping your floors. It's adjustable from 98 cm to 160 cm to accommodate a large variety of users - just twist to the proper height! It is available in blue/green and gold/rose gold. The mop base is extremely durable and comes in two sizes - small (blue/green) and large (blue/green or silver) - to suit your cleaning needs. It easily snaps into the telescopic mop handle, and can freely rotate or you can use the easy locking mechanism to keep the base firm when washing walls. Velcro® strips secure the Mop Pads (described below) to the base, and rubber edging protects walls and furniture.

The Norwex Mop Pads come in both dry and wet options.

Dry Mop Pads
Our dry mop pads employ a static charge that attracts dust to the mop like a magnet. They are extremely efficient for cleaning floors, ceilings, walls, ceiling fans, and high windows. The static charge attracts dirt, dust, pet hair, crumbs, and micro particles like a silent vacuum cleaner, and prevents the particles from flying through the air and being displaced.

Dust from outside can enter your home in many ways - generally, the less dust in your home, the fewer allergens you and your family are exposed to. Inside the house, dust is produced by:
  • Dead skin cells
  • Food and plant fibers
  • Pet dander and hair
  • Dust mite feces and dead dust mites
Routinely dry mopping will significantly minimize the amount of dust on your floors that could be picked up by airflow and carried to all other surfaces in your home.

The Dry Superior Mop Pad (yellow) is great for large flooring areas, especially where there are children and pets. It is 100% microfiber, and will pick up even the smallest particles of dust, dirt, pet hair, and crumbs. It comes in size small (34 cm x 15 cm / 13.39" x 5.91") and size large (52 cm x 15 cm / 20.47" x 5.91").  The Dry Superior Mop Pad Made from 50% Recycled Materials (champagne) is only available in size large (52 cm x 15 cm / 20.47" x 5.91").
The Chenille Dry Mop Pad (green) picks up and holds dirt, dust, pet hair, and large particles and crumbs with its extra-long nubby chenille microfiber, and is statically charged and great for cleaning dry floors, walls and baseboards. It is only available in the large size (52 cm x 15 cm / 20.47" x 5.91").

The dry mop pads easily attach to the Velcro® on the Mop Base. You should always use a Dry Mop before using the Wet Mop. Regular use of dry mopping will preserve hardwood and tile floors, and reduce the wear and tear on surfaces. To use it, start by dusting the edges from the furthest point in the room back toward the exit or door, then move the Dry Mop in a figure 8 pattern, keeping the leading edge of the mop forward at all times. The rotating mop base makes this easy and allows you to reach hard to access areas (including under furniture, tables, and appliances)! Following this pattern will keep all the dust collected on the same side of the mop. Pair it with the ErgoBend to easily reach under and behind appliances and furniture!

Dry Mop Pads can be cleaned by shaking them outside, and using it multiple times before laundering. It can also be vacuumed, or (my recommended method) brushed off in the garbage can using the Norwex Rubber Brush. The Rubber Brush is also great for removing pet hair from furniture! Dry Mop Pads should be laundered with other lint-free laundry, and the recommended detergent is Norwex Laundry Detergent. You should not use bleach or fabric softener.

Wet Mop Pads
The Wet Mop Pad is made of BacLock™ microfiber and can be used on all washable surfaces such as floors, walls, ceilings, and windows. It also comes in two sizes - small (34 cm x 15 cm / 13.39" x 5.91") and large (52 cm x 15 cm / 20.47" x 5.91").  The second wet mop pad option is the Recycled Microfiber Wet Mop Pad made from 70% Recycled Materials and is available in blue or rose quartz, only in the large size (52 cm x 15 cm / 20.47" x 5.91"). It is made from using recycled plastic bottles to help you live more sustainably!
Ideal for washing both floors and walls with water only, both of our wet mop pads are ideal for washing floors and walls with only water. The wet mop pads trap dust and grime in the pad, leaving surfaces cleaner, so you won’t have to mop as often. Removes up to 99% of bacteria from a surface using only water.* Moisten the Wet Mop Pad under running tap water, and wring out well before attaching it to the Mop Base. The mop can then be moved back and forth over the surface. When the friction lessens, you can move it in a figure 8 just like in the Dry Mop Pad description. For difficult stains, spray water on the surface and rub more vigorously, or place your foot on the base to give additional force if needed. The friction will be the greatest the first time the mop is used since the surface at that point will have more dirt. When mopping, do not use soap!

Use the Wet Mop Pads for:
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Porous tiles
  • Vinyl
  • Linoleum
  • Hardwood floors
  • Marble
  • Laminate flooring
For laminate and hardwood flooring, always go with the grain. Putting excess water on mop pads can result in streaking; wood or laminate floors need to be cleaned with minimal moisture as using too much water can cause the wood to swell and possibly crack the finish.

Norwex also offers a Tile Mop Pad, specifically designed to clean tile floors. It gives you extra cleaning power wet or dry on hard surfaces. Special nylon fibers are woven into our microfiber pad to minimize effort while removing dirt and debris from tile floors. The Tile Mop Pad is available in small (34 cm x 15 cm / 13.39" x 5.91") and large (52 cm x 15 cm / 20.47" x 5.91")  The tile mop pad isn’t just for tile floors though! The zig zag pattern maximizes cleaning power on hard surfaces - tile flooring, textured linoleum flooring, boats, and difficult to clean hard surfaces - it’s perfect for those cleaning jobs where you need a little extra scrubbing power.

To care for your Wet Mop pads, we suggest rinsing wet mop pads in warm water and using them again before being washed. You will find that one mop head will clean your entire floor! It can be used until the front inch of pad shows signs of being dirty. You can brush it off with the Rubber Brush after use. It can be washed with regular lint-free laundry, just do not use bleach or fabric softener as these products will destroy the ability of the mop pad to clean effectively. We recommend using Norwex Ultra Power Plus as your laundry detergent.

As an extra option, Norwex offers Mop Conversion Kit, or brackets, which are durable rubber grommets that attach to the mop base, allowing you to convert your Mop to a window or ceiling washer and can be used with a Window Cloth, Enviro Cloth, or Car Cloth to wash and polish hard to reach areas. Please note that when cleaning walls and windows, be sure to use the mop in one direction - push/pull action can flip the mop base, resulting in potentially scratching a surface. For dirty outside windows, clean with a Wet Mop pad first, then follow with the Car Cloth or Window Cloth.

  • Steam mops put out a lot of moisture and can cause hardwood floors to swell

  • Norwex CLEANS your floors - it does not leave residue or require chemicals
  • Norwex doesn't have a water reservoir that needs to be continuously filled

Need more convincing? Read this article on Consumer Digest about steam cleaners. It states that to sanitize floors, the temperature of the steam has to reach a certain level or it will take longer - and that manufacturers don't always state how long the mop should be in one spot to actually sanitize. On the flip side, if you hold a steam mop in one spot it will discolor and/or warp your floors.


Still have questions? Let me know! I have additional resources on this topic that I am happy to share. Furthermore, if you are local, I am able to travel and demonstrate using my Norwex Mop - I will even use your typical floor cleaning method first, and follow it with Norwex Mop so you can see exactly how much dirt and grime was left behind!

Please note - if you have used other floor cleaning methods in the past, it may take several uses to break down all the residue of your previous cleaners on your floors. A little persistence and time will allow Norwex to bring your floors back to a real clean!

If you have kids at home, the Norwex Kids Mop Package (discontinued) will allow your little helpers to contribute too! Mopping with Norwex makes cleaning fun - and the Kids Mop is in bright colors and appropriately sized for children. The existing small pads will fit the Kid's Mop base.

FAQ
Is there a proper way to clean with the mop?
Always dry mop with the Dry Mop Pad or Dry Superior Mop Pad prior to using the Wet Mop Pad. The yellow mop pads are for “dry” cleaning, and the blue mop pads which are antibacterial are for “wet” cleaning. Be sure to move the mop in a wide figure-8 pattern from left to right in front of you, bringing the mop towards you as you back up so that you will be moving the dirt and debris in one direction. When wet mopping, moisten the mop with clean water before using. If the mop is too wet, wring it out prior to use.

What is the difference between the Dry Mop Pad and the Dry Superior Mop Pad?
The Dry Mop Pad is made of 100% polyester while the Dry Superior Mop Pad is made of 100% Norwex microfiber and boasts all the benefits of microfiber in its ability to pickup and hold the smallest particles of dust, pet hair, micro particles and debris and hold water.

How do I use the mop to clean my windows and polish hard to reach areas?
Attach the Mop Base Brackets onto the top side of the Mop Base and fasten the Window Cloth, Enviro Cloth or Car Cloth  in place by wrapping it around the Mop Base and firmly pressing the cloth into the rubber grommet slits on the Mop Base Brackets. Lock the base by pushing the green lever until it locks into position.

How do I assemble the mop?
Loosen the Telescopic Mop Handle by twisting the upper blue handle to the left. Pull gently to nose height. Tighten the handle by gently twisting to the right. To attach the Mop Base to the Telescopic Mop Handle, depress the green bumps on the Mop Base and slide the Telescopic Handle over until the green bumps fit into the holes. To lock the base for doing walls and ceilings, push the blue lever until it locks into position. Attach the Wet Mop Pad, Dry Mop Pad, Dry Superior Mop Pad, or the Tile Mop Pad to the Mop Base.
