The Real Price of “Traditional” Cleaners
Most Canadians assume cleaning products are safe because they’re sold on store shelves. They’re not. Many everyday sprays and wipes contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), optical brighteners, artificial fragrances, and preservatives that irritate skin, trigger allergies, and release chemicals when you’re cleaning near kids and pets.
The real kicker?You pay for these products over and over again, because they run out fast. You throw away bottles, wipes, paper towels, and keep buying more. It’s a cycle that hits your wallet and your indoor air.
Why Norwex Is the Smart Switch
Norwex replaces “consumables” with reusables. One cloth replaces hundreds of paper towels and dozens of bottles of cleaner. Add in their ultra-tight microfiber, BacLock self-purifying technology, and plant-based solutions, and you get a cleaner home without chemicals, fumes, or waste.
Norwex isn’t a trend—it’s a shift. A once-and-done purchase that saves money long-term and reduces your exposure to harsh ingredients.
The Products Canadian Families Trust Most
If you’re new to Norwex, start with the essential favorites:
• EnviroCloth® — The flagship. Removes up to 99% of bacteria from a surface using just water.• Window Cloth — Streak-free windows with zero chemicals.• Mop System — Microfiber pads that trap dirt instead of spreading it.
•Counter Cloths — Replace paper towels permanently.• UltraZyme™ Dishwasher Detergent — Plant-based and powerful.
These are the items people reorder for gifts, housewarmings, and every “I’m done with chemicals” moment.
