scum of the earth



Extra, Extra, Read All About It!!! Hot off the press; these pictures were just sent to me! Okay, it all starts with something I call Norwex insomnia. It sounds crazy, but people get so excited when their products arrive. They start using them, seeing how amazing they are, and they find themselves feverishly cleaning at late-night hours.

This lady's husband historically spent hours scraping the shower doors with a razor blade to get rid of the build-up on the door. He said that if my "stuff" worked, he was going to sell Norwex! Little did he know....

His wife was up at 1:30 am cleaning her shower doors. She sprayed on the Descaler, left it for 5 minutes and wiped the shower doors clean with the Bathroom Scrub Mitt. She was so excited that she took the before and after pictures out to her daughter. Her daughter was convinced that the after photo must have had the shower door open. Ahhhh, now that is clean!

Be the super mom you want to be

As a busy mother of three (5, almost 4 and just 2), I need time-saving techniques. I juggle a career as a heart surgery physician assistant with a day spa and wellness center where I work and own. So you ask, why on earth did you add one more thing??? That is a good question. I love the products. I have fun, and it is a flexible job that works well with my family. In fact, my children are some of Norwex's greatest fans. For starters, I had a party while my midwestern sister was in town. It was brand new to California, and those who attended my party were excited. In fact, there were those who wanted to host parties of their own. My sister just looked at me and said, "Shari, I live in Iowa." And I was "in". But, if the truth be known, I had been using products for almost a year. I knew quite a lot about the company and was entertaining the thought.... As strange as it sounded, I was excited about cleaning. Why? Well, it fit in well with my wellness interests. As I learned more about the chemicals in our homes; yea, the ones we deem harmless because we use them every day and they smell good, there was absolutely no doubt that I needed Norwex in my house. But I also saw the need, from an environmental standpoint. And the business opportunity was astounding.

So back to my point about being a Super Mom.... The dusting mitt is amazing. I had to prove it to myself, but I needed to dust less. Talk about a time-saving technique! The mitt picks up dust rather than moving it around. The superfine microfiber in a dense pile picks dust up! And, it is naturally antibiotic with silver. My house was a dustbowl. We live on the edge of town, not far from orchards. I have lots of picture frames and knick knacks. I had lots of dusting to do. But I dust less. And, the first time I did a ceiling fan, I was under it, looking up at it with contacts, and hoping.... Well, let me tell you, the dust was laden on my mitt and NONE fell in my eyes. NONE. And the little crevices on things? The coffee grounds in the grate. The cloth lamp shades. The plasma TV screens. This might just be an a-ha moment for you!

Hair in all the wrong places






I have large amounts of tile flooring. I have long hair and I shed a lot. (Did I mention that I also have a daughter with long hair?) That combination was always such a messy proposition. I mean, who likes wet hair swirling around on their floors as they mop. It moves around, but remains "attached" to the floor! YUK!

Now my life is so much easier. I save so much time mopping my floors. For starters, it is no longer a big project. I can whip out my Norwex mop system and go over my floors in no time flat. The dry mop is excellent for picking up dust bunnies and hair and fur and dirt and germs. The microfiber technology picks up 99.94% of the bacteria. Then I whip out the blue mop pad. I spritz it with water and go. This picks up the stickies.... And the silver embedded in the fibers of that FINE microfiber kills the bacteria that remain in the mop. I do a little dance around my floor with my ergonomically correct, fabulous mop system. Lovely. My floors are cleaner because I clean more often (it is so easy and quick) and it actually PICKS up bacteria! And the rubber static brush is an absolute must. Brush it into the garbage and keep going. I love, love, love it!

National Norwex Conference



Lawrence went to the Norwex conference in Minneapolis this fall. He was absolutely amazed and impressed with what a giving company Norwex is. To top that off, we have joined a phenomenal team with many stars who are spreading the good news about Norwex. I love the fact that with more people telling people about a way to save money, while saving time, our health and our environment, we are really making a difference in our world and in people's lives. It's a good feeling.

These ain't golden rings...

We live in an area of HARD water. I mean, we put other hard water to shame. That ugly toilet bowl ring was so resistant! It just continued to layer up, until now. I discovered Norwex's Descaler. It's tough, but it's not ruining our lungs or our environment. First, you need to lower the water level in the bowl by pouring a large amount of water into the bowl. Once the level goes down, spray the ring and let it set no more than 10 minutes. Waa la. With very little elbow grease and a spirisponge, that toilet jewelry was gone!
