Babies love Norwex, too!

I posted a while ago about great Norwex items for babies - you can see that post here: http://www.fastgreenclean.com/2013/04/norwex-great-for-babies-too.html

Some other must-have items when a baby is in the house, that you may not have thought of:

  • Fridge So Fresh - discontinued, please view Air Freshener Bags - not just for the refrigerator! Use it in a diaper pail, near any dirty diapers or laundry, or wherever unpleasant odors might occur. Smell the difference. Fridge So Fresh was developed to absorb and eliminate odors, instead of covering them up, by using a safe, natural and non-toxic solution. It is especially powerful for the most difficult odors like fish and seafood. This compact and space saving, non-toxic, spill-proof product stops food from absorbing odors and can be used in freezers, bathrooms, closets, pet areas, cars, garbage pails, diaper pails, and gym lockers - or anywhere you experience odors!

    Fridge So Fresh contains: Natural Mineral salts, Aluminum Ammonium Salts. Doesn’t contain harmful chemicals or perfumes. It is a natural odor absorbing crystal.
    To use: Totally remove plastic shrink wrap from container. Place one in the refrigerator and one in the freezer or wherever odours are a problem.
    To refresh crystal: Simply remove every 8 weeks rinse under faucet and replace wherever odours are a problem.

    Fridge So Fresh works better and lasts longer than baking soda. It lasts up to six months, is environmentally safe, and does not have any harmful chemicals. As long as their is crystal left, it will work!
  • Dishwashing Liquid - not just for washing dishes! The Norwex Dishwashing Liquid is phosphate free, highly effective, yet gentle on hands. It is not only great for washing dishes, but is also excellent for removing grease from hands. Furthermore, use the Dishwashing Liquid as a spot remover and as a pre-treatment for stains on clothing. Dilute 50% water and 50% dishwashing liquid in a spray bottle and apply directly to the soiled spot.
  • Laundry Pre-Wash - discontinued - please view Stain Remover! - The Laundry Pre-Wash penetrates and begins to dissolve on contact a variety of stains and soil in fabrics. It is gentle on delicate fabrics and works in all water temperatures. The 100% all-natural formula is hypoallergenic, biodegradable, non-toxic, and free of allergens, dyes, perfumes, and petroleum solvents. Simply spray on soiled area, wait 1-5 minutes to allow the solution to penetrate, then wash according to label instructions. For heavily soiled areas, a second application may be required. Laundry Pre-Wash contains enzymes, ascorbic acid, citric acid, and water. It does not contain allergens, dyes, chlorine, perfumes, petroleum-based solvents, glycol ether, phosphates, or other harsh chemicals.
  • Wash Net - Protect microfiber cloths, delicates and baby clothing in the washer and dryer. The durable Washing Net allows soap and water to flow through easily. It is 12" x 17" and has a zipper to keep all your items together.

Blue Diamond

Discontinued! Please see new Bathroom Cleaner: http://www.fastgreenclean.com/2013/09/norwex-blue-diamond-descaler-and.html




Blue Diamond is, I think, almost a miracle product. This highly concentrated formula safely cleans toilets, basins, bathtubs, sinks, and most other hard bathroom surfaces without corrosive fumes, leaving them sparkling like a precious jewel. Deep penetration allows for effective cleaning and descaling in one application. You can use Blue Diamond on most hard surfaces in the bathroom. It does contain some descaler, so it is not for use on natural stone, marble, or granite.

To use, it may be used full strength or diluted to clean the toilet bowl, shower, and sinks. You can use it with an Enviro Cloth, Spirisponge for tough soap scum buildup, the Bathroom Scrub Mitt, and/or Toilet Brush.

I keep the Blue Diamond and a Bathroom Scrub Mitt in my shower, so I can clean while I'm in the shower. Yes, you read that right - I clean my shower while I'm actually taking a shower. Why? The Blue Diamond isn't your typical strong-smelling chemical cleaner. In fact, it is safe to touch (I clean dirty pennies in a drop of Blue Diamond in the palm of my handat some of my Norwex parties - takes the grime off and restores it to a shiny new looking penny in just a second or two!). After I scrub the sides of the shower with the Bathroom Scrub Mitt and a drop of Blue Diamond, I put the Bathroom Scrub Mitt on my foot and take the lazy way out to clean the bottom. I think that's pretty clever and ingenious!



Blue Diamond contains Ethoxylated Lauryl Alcohol, Sodium Dodecylbenzenesulfonate, Citric Acid

Warning: Not recommended for natural stone surfaces. Do not mix with other cleaners. Use caution when applying to metal surfaces as they may discolour.

Veggie & Fruit Scrub Cloth works!

Just a quick note to show you just how effective the Norwex Veggie and Fruit Scrub Cloth really is when it comes to peeling veggies. My kids, for some odd reason, don't really care for zucchini if the skin is on it; however, without the skin they have no problems with eating zucchini. As we all know, it is the height of zucchini season at the farmer's market, so we've been eating a LOT of zucchini lately. It took me approximately 20 seconds to peel the top half of this gigantic zucchini with the rough side of the Veggie and Fruit Scrub Cloth before I sliced it for our dinner last night. The Veggie & Fruit Scrub Cloth not only removes the dirt and debris from the outside of fruits and veggies, but it also removes the outer wax coating that can harbor bacteria, fungi, and viruses.


This cloth is one of my favorite Norwex products! I use it for all of our fruits and vegetables, to smooth, polish, shine, peel, and of course, clean them before we eat!

Norwex Rubber Brush, Rubber Broom & Lint Mitt

Do you have pet hair problems? Dust build up? Carpet? Furniture? (I suspect you have at least one of those, but well, you know what they say about making assumptions...)

Norwex can help! We have these these amazing little tools, the Rubber Brush and the Lint Mitt, and a bigger tool, the Rubber Broom. They are so simple, yet incredibly effective for a variety of different uses!

Rubber Brush
Norwex sells the Rubber Brush specifically to help clean the mop pads or even the dusting mitt (just brush the dirt, debris and dust off and it is good to go!) which helps keep these products clean between washings. However, it is a fantastic tool that can be used all around the house and has a multitude of other uses as well.
Our Rubber Brush quickly removes hair, lint, crumbs and dust from textiles, pets, car seats, furniture and carpeted stairs. It also cleans our Mop Pads, Entry Mat and EnviroWand®; just brush debris into the trash after use!
You can use it to remove pet hair, lint, human hair, dust, and even dried-on dirt from carpet, furniture, car seats, and beds.

Do you have carpeted stairs? Simply brush each stair to remove all the hair and dust.
What about fabric furniture? Use the Rubber Brush to pick up hair and sweep crumbs out from under the furniture.
Carpeted floors? It is a fast and easy way to remove pet hair, dust, lint, and any other unwanted debris.

The vacuum cleaner is too cumbersome for some jobs. Messing with the attachments for the stairs or the sofa cushions takes a lot of time and it’s a hassle—not to mention the electricity you’re using. And sometimes you just need something smaller to remove stuck-on dirt and dust from your Entry Mat or Mop Pads. Save time, electricity and effort by using the Rubber Brush for small, spot-cleaning jobs. It’s great for picking up pet hair, dust, dried-on dirt and other debris from carpet, clothes, furniture, car upholstery and more.

How to Use:
Using short strokes, brush fabric or Mop Pad in the direction of the grain of the material. Continue to brush from one end to the other, moving all dust and hair toward the edge of the material or Mop Pad.
Brush the debris into a trashcan. For Mop Pads, brush material against the grain to lift fibers and re-brush if necessary.
Can be washed under running water after use.

Rubber Broom
Norwex Rubber Broom

The Norwex Rubber Broom is a multi-functional broom and squeegee combo and is perfect both indoors and out! Its electrostatic action easily removes pet hair and fuzz from carpeted stairways, with no flyaways to chase down. Flip it over and the durable rubber squeegee side is great for drying decks, pool areas, patios, balconies and more. Handle extends to reach further. Rinses clean with water. 78 – 126 cm / 30.7" – 49.6"
Problem
Pet hair, fuzz and dust bunnies can be hard to remove from carpet, especially on stairways. Plus, leaves and grass clippings on the patio present
their own challenges. And that wet mess on the garage floor won’t be easy to clean either. Wouldn’t it be nice if one tool could easily handle challenging jobs both inside and out?
Solution
The Rubber Broom with squeegee is just right for a variety of both indoor and outdoor cleaning challenges. The dense rubber bristles quickly pick up or remove all kinds of debris from various surfaces, and the sturdy squeegee easily tackles wet messes just about anywhere.
How to Use
• Adjust telescopic handle to the height of your chin (to desired height.)
• To clean carpets and stairs, pull broom toward you across surface.
• As debris accumulates, it will be pushed further up into the bristles, allowing you to keep cleaning.
Features and Benefits
• Multi-functional broom and squeegee in one versatile tool
• Quickly and easily cleans carpets, rugs and all hard floor surfaces
• Electrostatic action attracts pet hair, dust, fluff and fibers, keeping it within the bristles.
• Extra-long bristles firmly hold debris until it is removed or rinsed away.
• Convenient, built-in squeegee easily tackles liquid messes on hard floors and other surfaces.
• Handle adjusts to extend your reach.
• Easier to use than a regular broom; no need for a dustpan so no bending, stooping or squatting required
• Great for fluffing carpet
• Requires no batteries or electricity and has no noisy motor
• Durably constructed and water-resistant
• Great for outdoor as well as indoor use
• Rubber squeegee conforms to uneven surfaces
• Rubber broom doubles as a scrub brush when you add water
• Perfect throughout the home, including:
– Carpets – Decks & Patios
– Stairs – Garages
– Balconies – Vinyl siding
– Pool areas – Basements
– Driveways – Sidewalks
– Windows – Skylights
• Rinses clean quickly


Lint Mitt

The Lint Mitt is similar. It will quickly and successfully remove lint, dust and pet hair from your clothing, furniture and other textiles. The benefit to the Lint Mitt is that it is small enough to take along with you for those quick little touch ups. A quick tool for removing those unwanted hairs and fibers. This handy mitt quickly and effectively removes lint, dust and pet hair from  your clothing and other textiles. (100% polyester. 4 cm x 10 cm / 5.51" x 3.94")

To pick up lint with the Lint Mitt, start brushing against the grain of the mitt. To go in the other direction, simply turn the mitt to the other side. Use one side for each direction. It is also great for use on furniture and car upholstery!

Problem
You just noticed dog hair on your black pants and lint on your jacket. You can’t change, and you need to look presentable for your next appointment.
Solution
Fortunately, your Lint Mitt is always handy so you can do a quick touch-up and make the appointment looking professional and at your best.
How to Use
Place mitt on hand and brush clothes, furniture, etc. using straight strokes, going against the grain of the mitt.
To go in the other direction, simply turn the mitt to the other side.
Carry one in your glove box, your suitcase or overnight bag and keep one at work. They’re convenient to have at home, and they make a great gift for college-bound students.
To clean, rinse and air dry.
May also be cleaned by rubbing the fabric in the direction opposite the fibers.
Features and Benefits
Quickly and effectively removes lint, dust and pet hair
Small, compact size is perfect for on-the-go touch-ups.
Perfect size for travel
Double-sided, so it works great going in either direction
Use on clothing, furniture, car upholstery and other textiles

Magnet Ball

Do you have hard water? Do you want to use less dishwasher or laundry detergent? Then the Magnet Ball is for you!

The Magnet Ball prevents calcium and lime build-up in dishwashers and washing machines. It is a magnet covered in hard green santoprene - a rubber-like compound. The strength of the magnet is 210 Gauss.

By placing the magnet ball in the dishwasher, it softens the water and allows you to use half the normal amount of dishwashing detergent. Just place the magnet ball in the bottom tray and use half the amount of dishwasher detergent you'd normally use.

Use in a washing machine reduces laundry detergent required by 50%, depending on initial water hardness. For use in a top-loading washing machine, simply place the magnet ball in with your laundry, and use half the amount of laundry detergent you'd normally use. Using Ultra Power Plus (UPP) laundry detergent, you could be using as little as 1/2 tsp. of detergent for each load. See my post about UPP here: http://www.fastgreenclean.com/2013/04/ultra-power-plus-upp.html
See my other post about Ultra Power Plus, the Norwex laundry detergent, versus other laundry detergents here: http://www.fastgreenclean.com/2013/04/ultra-power-plus-vs-others.html

The Magnet Ball comes with a 5-year warranty and is 5 cm x 5 cm x 6 cm / 2" x 2" x 2.5"

Please note, the Magnet Ball is not recommended for front loading washing machines as not enough water passes through the magnet ball, and given the rapid and vertical spin of these systems, use of the magnet ball in them may result in damage.

Magnet Ball

It is recommended that you clean the ball by running a microfiber cloth through the center every month or so. This helps prevent metal and mineral build-up from re-depositing back onto clothing.

FAQ
Why do you use less detergent when using the Magnet Ball?
The Magnet Ball prevents calcium molecules from building up in the dishwasher and washing machines, resulting in softer water. When using the Magnet Ball you should use 50-70% less soap. Do not use in front-loading washing machines.

How do you clean the center of the Magnet Ball?
Pull a cloth through the center of the Magnet Ball to clean the inside and run it under the tap until the water runs clear. This should be done on a regular basis.

Can you use the Magnet Ball in the back of your toilet tank?
Norwex does not endorse placing the Magnet Ball in the tank. Water needs to flow through the magnet ball in order for it to be effective.

Problem
Hard-water spots on your crystal and dishes making you nuts? Are you using more detergent, thinking that will get them clean? If you’re using more dish detergent, then hard water also may be causing you to use more laundry detergent than necessary, too.

Solution
Use a Magnet Ball in your dishwasher and washing machine. It softens water and prevents calcium and lime buildup. Plus, using the Magnet Ball allows you to use less detergent!

How to Use
For use in dishwashers:
Place in bottom tray and use half the detergent you normally use.

For top-loading washing machines:
Place in the machine and use half the normal amount of laundry detergent.

Not recommended for front-loading washing machines as not enough water passes through the Magnet Ball. In addition, use in a front-loading washing machine may cause damage to the machine, due to the vertical spin of these types of machines.
Norwex Magnet Ball

Features and Benefits

  • Reduces amount of detergent required by up to 70%, depending on water hardness
  • Eliminates need for rinsing agents or water-softening additives
  • Prevents calcium and lime buildup in dishwashers and washing machines so appliances last longer

  • Since less detergent is used, waste water contains fewer chemicals.

  • Can also be used in toilet tanks

Did you Know?
According to a study on laundry detergent usage, there are more than 1,100 loads of laundry started every second of every day across North America.
Even with concentrated detergents and high-efficiency washing machines, many Americans still use too much detergent.
