Norwex cloths

Don’t judge me…

A friend invited me to a “Norwex Party” because she knows I’m in the cleaning industry. So, my Mom and I went together.

The lady started her demonstration with window cleaning. As you can imagine, I was observing her with rapt attention and very critical eyes. She took a gob of vaseline and smeared it on a french pane, then proceeded to wipe it off with their special window cleaning cloth followed by a buff with her glass polishing cloth. It took only seconds and the pane was, quite honestly, perfect.

Now, she was pitching how you can save tons of paper towels and how don’t dare use newspaper; these two cloths can clean an entire house of windows. She also said that a janitorial company she deals with now uses only these cloths for their commercial work. Naturally, I’m not about to throw out my squeegee, scrim, or huck towels, but I have to say those seemed like really good microfiber clothes, which we know it can be hard to find quality ones sometimes (I’ve personally been anti-microfiber for a while, even before window cleaning, because I’ve almost always found it to be ineffective at, well, everything).

I didn’t buy any because I’m in “No new tools until money starts flowing in” mode, but I might pick a set up in the future and see how it compares. Could have some good uses. Either that, or the cloths suck and we all had no idea what a good glass cleaner vaseline is. :smile:

It’s a microfiber, it does that sort of thing.

Hold the glass up to a bright light and see if the microfiber left any micro fibers. I know every one I’ve ever used leaves remnants that aren’t immediately visible.

I have to say, these Norwex rags are some of my favorite things ever. After getting some for doing a ‘party’ for a friend I was hesitant to use them for work because they cost so much and kinda take special care. But now they are just about all I will use to do French cutups. The micro (ecloth as they call it) with just water and polish with the window rag. And the window rag is amazing at touching up a smudge when the sun is blazing. No smears or lint left behind. The ecloth is an amazing scrubber too. It takes off some stuff that I normally would take a razor to. Too bad they cost a small fortune for one rag!

The first home show (and only) i attended, a Norwax rep was there and she tried pitching me. I was like I can get 24 for 8 bucks of these, how much are they? She walked off.

Last January I bought a Norwex mitten for cleaning smudges.

Positives: I use it or microfiber gloves for daily hand smudge removal from the entryway glass,touch screens, desk and counters at a bank. Both work good at removing fresh smudges without needing water. I also use the microfiber gloves for smudge removal from desks and counters at some offices that I clean weekly, but since the smudges are not fresh I have to wet them.

Negatives: Both the Norwex mitten and the microfiber gloves are time consuming to clean. I have to hand wash them in water only, any surfactant products will gunk them up. The Norwex mitten is expensive, which is why I only bought one. The microfiber gloves were around $6 per pair I think.

I also do traditional N2G squeegee and soap on the entryway glass weekly for the banks and the offices. Having a weekly clean of the interior glass also makes the smudge wiping easier.
