No Need to Hold Your Nose!

1458_FreshenerBagDuo2I love my cat and she is almost as highly regarded in this house as any other family member.  There is a spot in our home, though, that she frequents on a regular basis, that I would describe as “almost as bad as an outhouse”.  Yes, there are brands of kitty litter that say they remove the odor of  …. well … you know.  But none of them can do so 100%.  That’s why I like my Norwex Air Freshener Bags.

You may not have a cat, but every homemaker knows the problem that can be created by dirty laundry, rancid gym clothes, shoes, trash cans, diaper pails, mold and mildew.  It can be quite distasteful even when you are not tasting.

To combat such odors we are inclined to use aerosol deodorizers with various scents, or we can use scented candles with fragrances that release harmful chemicals into the air.  Neither the odors, nor the current remedies are good for you and your family’s health.

There’s a better Solution:  You can freshen and purify the air in your home naturally with the Norwex Air Freshener Bags!

Did You Know?

  • Bamboo is among the fastest-growing plants. Young shoots can grow 1 – 4 meters (3 – 13 feet) overnight.  Harvesting Bamboo has less impact
    on the environment and ecosystem compared to harvesting trees.
  • Many air fresheners are considered toxic because they can contain carcinogens, volatile organic compounds and phthalates. Some air fresheners also contain chemicals that trigger allergy and asthma symptoms.
  • Bamboo charcoal has millions of tiny, porous holes through which it absorbs impurities and excess moisture. It’s been shown to reduce harmful chemicals emitted from paint, carpeting, furniture, air fresheners, chemical cleaners, rubber and plastic.

Falling Leaves and Warm Sheets!

Autumn-LeavesToday is  an off day for me and I have been busy finishing up my Fall decorating.  The wind is blowing and the leaves are falling.  We will be tracking in leaves and other such debris from outside.  I am thankful for my Door Mats, one at the front door and one going out the patio doors.  They catch a lot of stuff and are easy to clean off with the brush.

 

 

I sprayed the bed with Mattress Cleaner and put on the flannel sheets. The heated Mattress Pad will be added in November.   403422-Mattress-CleanerWe have already cleaned all the windows with the EnviroCloth and window cloth on the extended mop handle.

 

I have been blessed to help new people find Norwex in October and continuing into November.   What a joy to use cleaning aids that I know are good for the environment and do a superior job of cleaning.   I am also very impressed by all the rewards they give for parties and consultants.  If you want to know more about one of the best direct selling companies and their great products,  just contact me.

Danger Lurks Beneath Your Kitchen Sink

Dangers copyI used to have my arsenal of spray bottles and aerosol cans of window and glass cleaning products under my sink, like many of you … BUT NO MORE!  I had always thought that in order to really get things clean you needed strong chemical solutions, and latex gloves to protect your hands while you used them. Most folks are unaware of the fact that butyl cellosolve is a chemical commonly found in glass cleaners.  It is easily absorbed through the skin (wear your latex gloves). Too much of it can irritate mucous membranes (wear a mask, or don’t inhale and be sure to cove your eyes and keep your mouth closed), and may cause liver and kidney damage www.osha.gov/dts/sltc/methods/organic/org083/org083.html

Furthermore, there is strong evidence that the ammonia that grandma used to use for glass cleaning, and which is still an ingredient in many glass cleaning products, is a human  immune and respiratory toxicant or allergen.  www.ewg.org/skindeep/ingredient/700353/AMMONIA

Why use these dangerous products, repeatedly buying them along with the protective gear when you can have clean, streak free windows and mirrors by using a simple cloth and plain water. I’d love to prove it to you!   With water from your tap and a Norwex Envirocloth and Glass Polishing Cloth you can make your window and glass surface cleaning safer for you and your family, while protecting the environment at the same time.  I hope you’ll check it out.  If you have questions I’ll be happy to answer them, and tell you more about the great Norwex products for other areas of your home.  I use them … you can too!

Dust Mites Feasting In Your Mattress Right Now!

Since we are coming into Fall and I saw an article about bed bugs in Dubuque, it made me want to403422-Mattress-Cleaner change, launder,  and spray my mattress with the Norwex mattress spray.   I use the spray about every three months.    It does not kill bed bugs or mites but does help to eliminate and break down the feces and dead skin cells that mites and bugs feast on.  I feel much better going to bed in clean bedding at night and sleep peacefully knowing the Norwex Mattress Cleaner is doing its work.
