How Does Microfiber Work?
Used
dry;
the microfiber functions as a magnet on dust. Dust and dirt are
attracted and bound to the microfiber surface by static charge.
Used
damp;
with clean water it removes grease and stains. The fibers break the
surface tension of the water and with the help of capillary-action
lift dirt from the surface.
Wet,
Wring, Wipe, and Walk away!
With Norwex microfiber there is nothing left behind but a clean
surface!
Laboratory
tests show greater than 99% bacteria reduction on smooth surfaces.

The Norwex
Mission is to “improve human life by radically
reducing the
use of chemicals in personal care and cleaning.”
Did you
know?...
“A
major portion of the toxic and hazardous chemicals that you have and
use in your home can be found in your cleaning products” (Source –
Prosperity without pollution; Hirschorn and Oldenburg, 1991).
Cleaning
chemicals are the most frequent type of chemicals involved in
poisonings reported to 'Poison Control Centers' in the United States.
Most occur in children under the age of 6.
“Indoor air is often two to five times more contaminated than outdoor
air” (American Lung Association).
In addition to industrial
and outdoor air pollutants, the Canadian Lung Association highlights
residential pesticides and indoor chemical pollutants found in many
common household products as causes and triggers of respiratory
illnesses.
“The
toxic chemicals in household cleaners are three times more likely to
cause cancer than air pollution”
- Environmental
Protection Agency, 1985.
“Women who work at home have a 54% higher death rate from cancer than
those who work away from home.” The 15-year study concluded it was a
direct result of the much higher exposure rate to toxic chemicals in
common household products
(Toronto Indoor Air Conference 1990).
The
Consumer Product Safety Commission on "CHEMICALS COMMONLY FOUND IN THE
HOME" identified 150 chemicals linked to allergies, birth defects, cancer and
psychological abnormalities.
The EPA
tallied close to 10,000 chemical ingredients in cosmetics, food and
consumer products. Very few of these chemicals were in our environment
or our bodies just 75 years ago…and
except in the case of foods, drugs or pesticides, companies are under
no legal or regulatory obligation to assess how these products might
harm human health…and most have not been tested as such.
Recent
medical and scientific studies suggest that chronic exposure to low
levels of synthetic chemicals and "toxins" found in indoor air
pollution may be linked to numerous health concerns, including but not
limited to: allergies, asthma, autoimmune diseases, cancer,
Alzheimer's, ADD ( Attention Deficit Disorder) and Multiple
Chemical Sensitivities. Unfortunately, people overlook the cumulative
effect of repeated exposure to cleaning chemicals since no one is
really affected by a single exposure of handling them.
