Norwex Naturally Timeless-A Phenomenal cutting-edge formula!

Monday, August 29th, 2011

Naturally Timeless!   I love the sound!  I am so excited about the cutting-edge formula Norwex has for their phenomenal NATURALLY TIMELESS SKINCARE LINE! What can an apple a day do for you?  For those 35 or older who want to fight the signs of aging, help lessen the appearance of age spots and fine lines, Norwex has taken skin care to the next level with this exciting breakthrough.  And it is all focused on the natural rejuvenating benefits of the endangered rare apple.

This Swiss apple called Uttwiler Spatlauber is derived from a seedling planted in the middle of the 18th century, well-known for it’s ability to be stored for long periods without shriveling and thus it’s longevity potential.  Rich in phytonutrients and proteins the apple, offers unique ingredients that through technology can be incorporated into skin care products.  Norwex now offers this technology in it’s Naturally Timeless Day Cream and Firming Face Serum.  These two products when combined with the superior cleansing benefits fo the Norwex Makeup Removal Cloth, dramatically help reverse the appearance of oxidative stress while improving the appearance of skin elasticity.  The products act as a natural exfoliant to the skin, leaving it softer and rejuvenated with improved skin tone.  In a recent clinical test, after only 28 days the look of fine lines and wrinkles was significantly reduced.  Fight the signs of aging with this incredibly effective break through derived from a simple apple!

Take advantage of these these great products and experience the Norwex difference for yourself!

Today, the endangered Uttwiler Spatlauber trees are protected by the European environmental group ProSpecieRara.  Norwex, as part of its mission, will also be partnering in these efforts to insure these special trees are around for the next generation.

How To Get Sparkly Clean Dishes?

Sunday, July 24th, 2011

How do I get  sparkly clean dishes?

Most of us have an automatic dishwasher, but if you’re like us, there are some dishes that you still choose to wash by hand. Washing dishes with Norwex is a bit different than the conventional way..with a cotton cloth and liquid detergent.  With Norwex, we use the Norwex netted dish cloth when using a liquid dish soap (I love the Norwex dish liquid. Though low sudsing, which takes a bit of getting used too, it does a  great job of cleaning the dishes).  The reason being, it doesn’t retain a soap buildup, so remains odor-free. It also has a nice scrubbing effect without scratching dishes. We recommend using the Norwex kitchen cloth or Norwex enviro cloth with just water. This Norwex cloth is excellent for wiping counters, stoves, microwaves etc. If used with soap, the soap coats the silver agent in the cloth fibers and makes the cloth less effective. If the cloths have been used with soap, boil them in a pot of water on the stove for about 10 minutes.  Adding a dab of Norwex detergent to the water is a good idea.  Then wash as usual in the washing machine.

A very common error when using Norwex products

Clean Dishes With Norwex!

is when our customers use our Kitchen Cloths to wash their dishes!  They then tell me that their Kitchen Cloths have gotten very smelly!  We all hate the “stinky dish cloth”!   But if you’ve been to one of my Norwex parties, you already know that I educate you in using TWO separate cloths in your kitchen.  One for washing dishes (the Norwex netted dish cloth) and one for wiping counters, tables, etc, using JUST WATER (either a Norwex Enviro Cloth or Kitchen Cloth).  Yes, this takes a bit of getting used to, but it’s very exciting to discover a “stinky-dish-cloth-solution”!!

You will want our fantastic Norwex spirinettes.These are our amazing no-rust stainless-steel scrubbers, that provide some serious & quick “elbow grease” for cleaning pots and pans!!  (Spirinetts should NOT be used on surfaces that scratch easily, such as Teflon or porcelain though!)  Not only do customers love these for cleaning pots & pans, but also for oven cleaning (AWESOME in combination with our Oven & Grill Cleaner!)! If you’re a “sponge person”, you will likely love our Spirisponge.  It can be washed in the top rack of your dishwasher (as can the netted dish cloth & the spirinetts).  It is a more disposable item than our cloths, so you’ll occasionally need to replace it.  Some people even use this sponge to scrub their flat-top stove.  The Norwex Sponge is safe to use on Teflon & porcelain.

The Norwex Suede Envirotowel (mint green) makes a great dish-drying towel, especially if you’re a flour-sack dish towel fan!  I love the Tea Towel as a “hand towel” for wiping hands in the kitchen or bath!!  And I use the green Kitchen Cloth to wipe counters (again, NOT for washing dishes!).

I mentioned above how most of us have automatic dishwashers.  So I’ll take a moment to talk about the Norwex Dishwasher Detergent.  This is one Norwex product that I get some mixed reviews on.  In certain homes/water, it seems to work beautifully, and customers are thrilled with it!  (I must add that most of my customers who love it also use the Norwex Magnet Ball in their dishwasher.)  And some people simply aren’t so crazy about it!  If you’re purchasing it, you have to remember that it does not have all the chemicals that you’ll find in many other detergents, so it is a safer choice, but also may not be quite as effective as those with bleach, etc.

Our Dishwasher Detergent is NOT recommended for dishwashers that have a stainless steel interior, as it may lead to discoloration of the stainless.   The Magnet Ball works great in all dishwashers!!  I have found it has really decreased my water spots on my glasses and I no longer need to use Jet Dry!  WooHoo!!  :)    When you use the Magnet Ball, be sure you are DECREASING the amount of detergent you are putting in!  This is whether or not you’re using the Norwex Dishwashing Detergent.

When I was using the recommended amount of non-Norwex dishwasher detergent in combination with my Magnet Ball, I got a soap buildup on my dishes!  But when I decreased the amount, they began coming out beautifully clean!  (The Magnet Ball is sort of a crazy little thing, but it can really save you a lot of money given that you cut your detergent use by about 1/2!!  It pays for itself very quickly.  It can also be used in a standard (non-HE) top-loading washing machine.  Again, cut your laundry detergent approximately by half.)

I hope this has been helpful!  Please contact me if you have any questions or would like assistance with placing an order.  And if you want to help us share Norwex across the USA and help us get chemicals out of our kitchens, our homes, and our environment, while earning a very good income, I am very honored to help you start your very own Norwex business!

Save time, save money and save your health!

Betty's Norwex

I now have a new website I’d like to share. http://bettyknutson.norwex.biz/ If you sign up for an account here, I will put you in a drawing for a Norwex window polishing cloth. The drawing will be June 30th so get signed up today. Just go here to sign up.

 

Another testimonial came in today so I will share it with you.

Dear Betty…I have the dish liquid and love it. I first used it for stain removal on a very expensive white cotton blend blouse that had a 5 year old blood stain on it from a scratch, over 5 years  I tried everything to remove the stain with no luck. I applied the dish liquid full strength to the spot and let it sit for a little while before washing it in Norwex laundry detergent…the stain was gone when I removed it from the washer! I love Norwex products and plan to try more of them in the near future. Thank you in advance for the gift you sent.  It is also a sunny and beautiful day here in Pittsburgh, PA too!    Ann Marie

 

The Norwex Dusting Mitt saves time!

Friday, April 15th, 2011

Norwex Dusting Mitt

The Norwex Dusting Mitt is a phenomenal product!  Here are some testimonials that will convince you that it is a must in every household and office!

I have a testimony… not a jaw dropping one… But none-the-less, its what I got…the first time I went to a show, you were the demo-er :) of the dust mitt, and you said “I know people that like to use one on each hand when they clean” and I thought to myself..whatever, she just wants to sell each of us 2 :) I never thought about it again until I started cleaning with my mitt, and I thought about what you said and I thought to myself that I do now own 2 mitts and decided to try it…WOW, it has cut down on my dusting, soo much!
Sometimes I take my water bottle and spritz one of my mitts, so it gets a better grip, on knick-knacks, fan blades, picture frames, and all the things we own that have little grooves. The dust mitts forms to your hand and thumb, and you don’t realize until you try it, but that thumb helps work in little areas and grabs more! Then when/if it gets too dirty, I just turn them around and put them on opposite hands and keep going!!
So anyways, I started sharing all that at my shows and one lady says to me “well that all makes sense, that’s why I always use oven mitts instead of pads.”  –Kate W., IA

Because of the capacity of the Dust 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.  – Laura L., NM

My best “dusting mitt customer” (she’s bought
probably a dozen) has this to say (Laurie T):
The dusting mitt became my new
friend when I purchased my first one because it takes the time out of
dusting.  I can dust (which is a task I dislike anyway) in ½ the time it
used to take me.  After I purchased my first one I soon realized it was
a perfect gift for teachers, friends and family.  I have everyone
“hooked” on the dusting mitt now.  Love, love, love it!”  –Casey P., IA

I think the dusting mitt is awesome. I used too use pledge too get the
great shine but I feel you get the shine without the residue.   –Kayla V., IA

I was one of those skeptical people.  When offered to try the “Cleaning
Pack” (enviro cloth, window cloth, and dusting mitt) for free I said,
“No thanks I’m good.” Then when I remodeled my master bathroom I
was desperate for help.  After eight days of sanding dry wall and green
board I had a major task and would only have two days to clean a four
level house.  I was now willing to give Norwex a try.

The dusting mitt was able to dust my entire master bedroom with all that
white dust, without having to shake out the dusting mitt even once in
the process.  Wow, I was amazed more than words can say.  That was
followed up with Enviro Cloth and Window Cloth for areas that needed
washed, like the mirrors.  I was so impressed by Norwex that a couple of
weeks later I drove over 800 miles one way to check out more of Norwex
products. –Rita H.
“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 she hadn’t dusted there for over a year!!”  –Cathrine H., Florida

“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 dusting mitt over both sides and they’re  clean again.  LOVE it!”   Stephanie S., South Dakota
I do have several customers who rave about their dust mitt. One of
them actally uses it on her foot do to her base boards.. She thinks
it’s fab that she can do her base boards in a fraction of the time than
when she had to go on her hands and knees.
–Cathrine H. 

“I  love all my Norwex products, but I have to say your Dust Mitt is unbelievable.  Dusting is one of my least favorite household chores, but now 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 dust 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.“  –Carol M., South Dakota

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!!!!   -Chris
H., Iowa

I LOVE the 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.
-Connie J., TX

 

 

Wow, Norwex Power Plus Laundry Detergent To The Rescue!

Thursday, April 14th, 2011

Wow, Norwex Ultra Power Plus Laundry Detergent to the rescue!  I cannot believe it’s stain removing power!  While visiting our daughter and family this week in California, I was once again wowed by the power of Norwex Power Plus Laundry Detergent!  I washed a quilt that had marker stains on it…heavy marker stains that had been there for some time..and wala…after pretreating with the Norwex Laundry Pretreat and washing with Norwex detergent, the stains came completely out.  It was truly amazing!  How I ‘love’ our Norwex detergent that is so effective.  With a normal size load, I use only 1/2-1 tsp. of the detergent and my wash is clean.  There are no perfumy odors to the cloths.  After all clean doesn’t smell!  This detergent is fantastic in HE washers, like mine. One bag will wash 400 loads. The beauty of this detergent is  there are no fillers, perfumes, dyes, phosphates etc. so it is gentle on sensitive skin.

Another Norwex customer in awe.

Thursday, October 7th, 2010
Hi. Just a note to let you know I am absolutely in awe of our products. Things I have been
trying to get clean for the last 2-4 years are now so clean with such little effort, I feel like I’ve
been given a maid!! I have nerve and muscle damage from a car accident so I don’t have a
lot of strength in my arms. Norwex cleaning products and their ease of use are an added
blessing for me. I have never in my lifetime wanted to be a sales consultant for anything, but
these products are just way too awesome not to share with others! I love them!
Sharon from Rapid City, SD

Hi Betty..I  received the mop today and wanted to let you know…I LOVE IT!
I will definitely be ordering more Norwex products in the future! Thanks for such speedy service too…
Ann Webster

Loving these products in less than 24 hours!
Molly S

AHH! NORWEX!! Where have you been all my life!?! Kitchen Scrubbing Cloth…a Must in your home!
I’ve used it to remove dried texturing, sheetrock dust, paint specks off of woodwork.
Grease/buildup off of nice cupboards, floor glue, ETC! My cloth looks terrible, but my wood looks Awesome!!
Grace K
In answer to Grace’s dirty cloth, I recommend she just boil her cloths in a large pot of water with one Tablespoon
of our Norwex laundry detergent.  Boil about 10 minutes and drain water and rinse cloths.  Then wash as usual
in the machine.  This should clean the cloths up nicely.
Your friendly consultant, Betty

First tradeshow is an eye-opener.

Friday, February 19th, 2010

Last week I rented a Norwex booth at our Winter Farm Show. This was my first trade show!  Wow, some bad weather hampered the traffic a bit, but yet I must have talked to several hundred people.  For four of the days, I manned the store alone..long days.  One day I had a helper, so I could wander through the show a bit and actually eat a meal without having to swallow a bite of sandwich hurriedly.  Talking to potential customers with bread in my teeth,  just didn’t seem  cool.  After all, I am selling antibacterial toothbrushes.  Because Norwex is a new business in this area, I had to explain over and over, that it is best to clean homes and offices with just our microfiber cloths and mops and water.  For many, this just didn’t seem like “cleaning”.  No chemical smells?  After all clean smells like PineSol or bleach.  Not so, clean has no smell.  You mean you can cut grease with just water and a cloth?  Yes, this is fantastic..the cloths just gobble up grease.  You mean, I can get a shine on my windows without window cleaner or vinegar and newspaper?  Our antibacterial microfiber cloths are washable and reusable, so save your money spent on window cleaners and paper towels.  Your windows will shine like no other and presto..no streaks either!  Oh, I had so much fun proving that my claims were really on target.  I heard comments like, “Was that butter you put on the mirror?  I can’t believe this.  It’s gone, shine is back!”   It was fun to talk to the skeptics, especially.  “Old school” taught us we needed harsh chemicals to kill the germs!  No, we only spread the germs around with chemical cleaners.  Our mops and cloths remove 99.9% of the bacteria from smooth surfaces.  It is all in the microscopic fibers and the immense amount of the fiber in a cloth.   I must admit, I was a bit skepical when my daughter introduced me to these amazing cloths.  Once I got them in my hands and used them, I became a “true believer”.  Now our grandchildren and our pets wouldn’t be playing on floors smeared with harmful chemicals!  Yes, it was an interesting week for me, although a bit exhausting.  I will be doing it again next year,  because I feel passionate about educating people that using harmful chemicals in personal care and cleaning it not good.   Let’s go green and save money.  It is the new wave!

Satisfied customers are abundant!

“Your cleaning cloths have gotten a workout like never before.  They have stood up well and really helped.  Maury especially liked that mitt that was scratchy on one side for doing the floors the first time.  And I had lots of windows to do too. The laundry soap works great.  We only wash in cold water here, but the clothes still get clean.”

J. Vockrodt

“Thank you so much for the Norwex baby cloths, and thanks even more for introducing me to Norwex at all!  I love my cleaning supplies..Makes it easy (and fun) to clean again!

H.  Richtsmeier

“Cleaning my windows with a damp window cloth is magic.”
