Norwex Microfiber Cleaning Products and Environmentally Friendly Cleaning.

It's a no brainer we all want to spend less time cleaning. We would welcome a faster, better way to polish the bathroom mirror, clean the vanity or counter top, scrub the floor or wash the windows.

Think of all the cleaning products you might have right now. Something for stainless steel, one for tile and ceramics, a glass cleaner, a descaler. There are creams and pastes, sprays and liquids...literally one for every surface in you home.

Norwex microfiber can help you eliminate all of those chemicals, reduce your exposure to their harmful effects and get you on your way to becoming more enviromentally friendly.

With two items from Norwex microfiber you can replace nearly all of them. The Norwex Enviro Cloth, used dry for dusting or damp for scrubbing, will clean any surface in your home and the Norwex Window Cloth will polish any shiny surface and cannot be beat for cleaning windows. The Window cloth will clean all the windows in your home easily, with just a little water, and leave a streak free window.

These two cloths only need water to clean you home. Together they can clean about 90% of your home with no extra chemicals required. They will last at least two years and likely much longer. You don't need to continually replenish the used up cleaners in your pantry and you don't need to carry a tray or bucket with several different cleaners around your home for each job. Just two cloths will tackle the bulk of your cleaning for at least the next two years.

These two cloths are not the only items offered by Norwex Ez Green. We carry lots of microfiber products and natural, biodegradable, phosphate free cleaning solutions such as dish detergent and drain cleaner.

I can't help but notice, when it comes to green cleaning, many site suggest ways of making your own cleaner. Using baking soda, borax, vinegar, etc, etc...that's great and green.

But maybe there is an easier way. A way that is even greener?

Microfiber, and especially Norwex Antibacterial Microfiber, is even greener.

How?

When you order your cloths and other great green cleaning products from Norwex Ez Green they last for years. There is no repeat shipments to the store, no repeated miles of truck or train traffic, warehouse heating costs, no extra plastic containers or other packaging.

So take it easy on mother nature and use microfiber from Norwex Ez Green.

Microfiber cloths are a great choice for those of us wishing to reduce the environmental impact of our daily cleaning. There are several quality microfiber producers in the market place today who offer durable, effective, and even antibacterial products.

Microfiber cleaning cloths are greener for several reasons; they cut down on waste (think paper towel), they only need to be damp to clean as effectively as bleach so they replace several toxic cleaning solutions, and quality cloths last for years.

Now maybe you don't use paper towel for all your cleaning needs, but chances are you do use it. We all use our fair share and paper towels are awfully convenient for most spills around the house. Paper towel, however, has a pretty big environmental cost to consider and it really only smears around whatever it is your trying to clean up. A microfiber cloth has a much lower environmental cost associated with it. It's a reusable item. A quality cloth could be used for several years which cuts out the environmental impact of harvesting trees, processing the paper, trucking and warehousing, and your trips to the store, and the waste in the landfill (which once again involves tranportation). It's not hard to imagine that one microfiber cloth used around your home for a couple years could dramatically reduce your environmental footprint.

One microfiber cleaning cloth and one microfiber window cloth will replace most chemical solutions under your counter. Since a good quality microfiber cloth (denier of 0.3 or less) cleans a well as any common household liquid cleaner and uses only water, you can lose all those bottles and save all of the environmental expense of manufacturing, transporting and warehousing, and marketing that goes with each one. But that's not all. You also lose the repeated exposure to their vapours and residues. You don't have the risk of a child or pet getting poisoned by them and you won't be rinsing them down the drain and into our environment.

These are a few of the main benefits of using microfiber cleaning cloths around our home or in our workplaces. By cutting out all the factors that go into producing conventional household cleaners society could significantly reduce our impact on the environment and reduce our exposure to the chemicals involved. Anyone who suffers from chemical sensitivities should strongly consider microfiber for cleaning.

I found these recent articles to be rather interesting. The movement away from chemicals is gaining needed momentum and all three pieces illustrate why we can no longer ignore the chemicals around us.

Six Risky Chemicals you're carrying in your body

Chemical Soup for the Soul

Something to think about: "In fact, women under 25 and between 25 and 34 reported an increasing number of fertility problems over the last several decades. An estimated 3 to 10 percent of women have endometriosis-a leading cause of infertility that has been linked to chemical exposures. Nor are reproductive health problems limited to women. In men, average sperm count appears to be steadily declining, and there are rising rates of male genital birth defects such as hypospadias, a condition in which the urethra does not develop properly."

American Association of Poison Control Centers releases data on 2008 poison exposures

"About 13 percent of all poison exposure calls poison centers received in 2008 were related to analgesics, or painkillers. Cosmetics or personal care products, meanwhile, accounted for nine percent of all poison exposure calls and household cleaning products spurred 8.6 percent of all poison exposure calls to U.S. poison centers."
