Sounds like just another gimmick to get your money with overpriced products.

MLM scheme.

I have a couple of their cloths and like them. My daughter uses quite a few of their products and really likes them.

All the comments make sense to me. I know I too have heard people absolutely rave about some of the products and I have been tempted but did not act. What Lucille said is really spot on. I guess the big IF it is all that, then why isn't it used in medical offices etc. I want to believe, I really do, but then I keep thinking if it sounds too good to be true..........................hmmm

I swear by their cloths for cleaning. I don't know/care about the sterilization aspect, but I use their cloths for cleaning the bathrooms and the job they do is many steps above a regular microfibre cloth. Their purple polishing cloth is my favourite. I have 3 at home, 2 at the lake and one in my classroom for cleaning my eye glasses - it is the only thing I will use to clean my glasses and windows.

The other essential product of theirs is the cleaning paste. I now use it to clean my glass cooktop - it lasts forever and works better than the stuff sold for cook tops.

I've tried other of their products, but could live without them (a hair towel, mop, mitt cleaner- can't remember what else). The products above are the ones I've found really essential for me and I don't mind paying extra for them - altho I do wish they were cheaper.

I think both angela and lucille have identified this product line for what it is - gimmicks and fakery using demonstrations more suited for a carnival or travelling circus.

Why would a whizbang, "better than anything else" product line restrict its sales and marketing to home sales parties for women? Customers would rip this stuff off shelves near and far in much greater volumes if they were in stores and as good as they're touted to be.

Don't waste your money. Walk away.

I thought this was pretty interesting if anyone is interested in checking out. ETA: I started browsing around this website and found other interesting testing they did.

Um, I'd prefer to see the credentials and testing of a recognizable independent source.

I have a friend who is a Norwex dealer. She does a demonstration where she smears butter all over a window, then takes one of the cloths and wipes off the butter. She doesn't use any chemicals, just the cloth. The window ends up clear with no streaks or grease left behind.

I’m a Norwex rep. I don’t do parties, just became a rep for the 35% discount. If my friends want products, they will order from me, but I don’t push it on anyone. I like that’s it’s all chemical free. The other day, I spilled coke on my beige carpet, soak it up with a Norwex cloth and then rubbed the stain remover in it and you can’t even tell where the coke spilled. I like that the laundry soap has no fillers, so you don’t need fabric softener and I can clean my oven without inhaling toxic fumes from easy off.

I have a friend who is a rep and sells to friends passing along her discount. We've been friends forever and she's one of the best people I know but I did NOT want to get into the Norwex discussion with her.

We were traveling together and somehow we got on the subject of her Norwex makeup removing wash cloths and I became intrigued. Long story short, I now only use Norwex products and was happy when I found a cleaning woman who uses only Norwex. No more heavy cleaning product smells when she's done and everything is squeaky clean. I love that only the teeniest amount of their laundry detergent is needed. As mentioned already, the cleaning paste also works well. I love the dishwashing soap and produce cleaner. I so appreciate that their products are environmentally friendly

Just because a company is direct sales or MLM does not make them evil. I also am a huge fan of Rodan and Fields because, as with Norwex, the products work. I imagine Norwex has a satisfaction guaranteed warranty. Try them and if dissatisfied, return them.

I was thinking the same thing, who cares if it's MLM as long as the products work.

These clothes are not gimmicks! They are wonderful for cleaning mirrors, windows, etc! I was reluctant at first about getting them until my daughters got them and now I am sold!...never another streaky window at my house!...makes housecleaning so much easier!

as long as the products work

The problem is after a demo such as the one the OP attended some may actually think their cutting board is sterile/safe after a swipe with a cloth, after they have been cutting up raw chicken on it.

Lucille, the demonstrator showed the cloth worked by doing the swab test. It showed no contamination after being wiped with the cloth. BUT to be 100% honest, even though she licked the cutting board, at home I think I would feel better washing a cutting board in bleach I used to cut chicken. Maybe thats the paranoid in me but I'm really weird about raw chicken and handling it.

As for the link to that testing Dr. Annie did, it did show other clothes were pretty darn good at wiping up the germs as shown on the test dishes. Even a thick cotton towel...

My first thought is that the swabs are suspect. My second is that someone is going to trust this sort of demonstration and become ill, and that it is unconscionable for a company to pave the way for such a thing to happen if they in fact supply training/scripts of such demonstrations.

I dont know much about their products but I was gifted a couple cloths and found they do a great job cleaning my stainless steel refrigerator using only water.

I haven’t heard about this company, for cleaning, what makes it different from using a wet microfiber cloth then going over the surface with a dry one?

My neighbor was over, I was showing her the house and apparently my dust mop cover looks like a Norwex. Then I house sat for her & she has guest towels by Norwex. I'd never heard of them...Interesting to hear what it's ALL about.

Does everything by Norwex look like this?

Nicole: they have hand towels that look like that..that you can supposed go weeks without have to wash them. And no, not everything looked like that.

Terilyn: Here is some basic info regarding the clothes and how they are made and why the are different than regular micro fiber. I've never even used micro fiber, I don't like the way it feels against my hands. I did buy some products though, so I hope I like them as for as much as it cost LOL

What does a hand towel cost?

Here is a link to their towel.

Ever think that unless the substance that was being swabbed was infected that the swabs would always be negative. I do not know what infectious substance was supposed to be in chicken but most chickens do not have salmonella and E.coli would take hours for a swab to be positive.

If you watch the people who do these demos they use the side of their hands to press down before they start wiping forward. Doing this will remove all or most of a spill without leaving a trace. They then lift up the cloth rather than dragging it as most people do. It takes practice to learn but it is a method that is well worth practicing.
