Hello!

My name is Linda Jeske and I am an enthusiastic Independent Consultant for Norwex, in Dubuque, Iowa. I absolutely never thought I would ever enjoy selling anything, much less want to sell. I was surprised, however, by the fantastic products and the wonderful opportunities offered by Norwex in its mission to make our homes, and our world, safer by protecting the environment through the promotion of chemical free cleaning!  I’ve happily used Norwex products for a little over two years and was easily sold on selling them because of my experience with using them. I wanted to make a difference by sharing the Norwex mission and products with others.

I enjoy doing home parties and will travel as much as 75 miles (give or take) to do one in your home and help you earn some amazing hostess gifts from Norwex in the process!  I’ll soon be doing on-line parties through social media as well so I can run a party for you regardless of how far away you may be.

Vendor events are also part of my routine (sometimes with my husband, Tim, and his jewelry, and sometimes without).  You can check out the scheduled events and see where I’ll be for great savings on cash and carry!  Hope to see you on the road!

 Contact me today (myelbowgrease[at]gmail[dot]com) for more information on hosting a party or even becoming a consultant yourself!  You can chat with me here on the website if I’m currently at my desk, or else leave me a message using the brown link in the lower right hand corner of your screen.  I hope to hear from you soon!

Meeting Laundry Challenges

Linda # # #

354010-Washing-NetAnyone who knows anything about doing laundry at all knows that doing fine washables can be a challenge. Delicates and baby clothes require a gentle wash, but sometimes washing machines can be a bit too rough on clothes. Norwex has an answer for you!  The Washing Net is a versatile, effective and eco-friendly way to protect fine washables, including Norwex Microfiber. It lets soap and water flow through easily for optimal cleaning while its high-quality mesh protects those delicate items.

You May Not Do Windows … But NORWEX Does!

Linda #

305002-Window-ClothGetting windows clean quickly isn’t easy. In addition, many of today’s popular glass and window cleaners contain harmful chemicals, like butyl cellosolve and ammonia. And using paper towels to clean just adds to the problem of overloaded landfills and deforestation.

The solution is the Norwex Window Cloth gets windows and other glass and shiny surfaces clean and streak-free with just water. No harmful chemicals are left behind to smear or distort light, and no paper towels are needed, which means less landfill waste and less paper dust in your home.

Water Filtration – from a “Norwex Husband”

Linda # # #

Stop worrying about the quality of your tap water.  In many places, harmful chemical additives and heavy metals result in the high use of bottled water, and then bottles end up in landfills. A healthier choice for you and the environment, the Norwex Water Filtration System provides cleaner, tastier water for just pennies a liter without the plastic waste!  Norwex’s exclusive 4-stage magnesium filter helps re-mineralize your drinking water, maintain mineral balance and neutral pH for a clean, crisp taste. Filters reduce impurities such as lime-scale and chlorine. Ensure the best-tasting water every day by replacing the filter every four weeks. Convenient replacement display indicates when it’s time to replace (approximately 100 fillings).

Not Ready for Prime Time … But … Watch For It!

Linda

I wMVI_0076.00_00_25_29.Still001anted to create a video showing how to assemble and prepare the new Water Filtration device from Norwex.  Having a bad cold, however, didn’t leave my voice in great shape.  It was nice to come home today and find my hubby had set up video cameras and lights in the kitchen and he offered to do the video for me!  When it was done, his opinion was that he was not yet ready for prime time.

We’ll use the video, however, when he finishes editing it.  Watch for it!

On another note – for my Dubuque area friends – I’m hosting a demonstration party at my home on Thursday night, August 13.  I’ll be showcasing many of the new products from Norwex and will have some of the old standbys as well.  I’d love to have you come … please do!  Feel free to bring a friend or two.  Just let me know ahead of time so I know how many to plan for.  Here’s the link with the information and a form to let me know if you’ll accept my invitation.  Who knows, we may even get my hubby to demonstrate the water filtration system … LIVE!  😉

Bye-Bye Wet Wipes!

Linda # # # # # #

A google search for “Wet Wipes” brings up over 2,600,000 links!  You can buy them everywhere (scented and unscented, with aloe and without); from convenience stores, grocery stores, pharmacies, office supply stores and more, to eBay and Amazon!  They are ubiquitous in our society … found in the trash bags of every home with children and flushed down millions of toilets every day as part of the regular activity of our “disposable” society.

My daughter has two darling girls and another (perhaps a boy) on the way!  Lucy, the three year old, is already pulling wet wipes out of the pop up container on her own and using them … sometimes in wads … for various purposes.  I’m looking forward to sharing with this busy mom the new EnviroCloth Travel Pack with the Reusable Wet Wipes Bag!  This is a GREAT idea and would make a wonderful gift for the moms, expectant moms or grandmoms that you know!  Get one for yourself as well. I know I will!

wet bag

The ALL NEW TRAVEL PACK is a compact version of the EnviroCloth. Keep one in your purse, car, suitcase or diaper bag.  It comes in sets of four cloths with a convenient carrying pouch.

The REUSABLE WET WIPES BAG is a water resistant, 2-pocket bag in which you can place your Norwex Microfiber Cloths, dry or wet, anytime, anywhere. You can also put your dry, unused Makeup Remover Cloths or Baby Body Pack in the front pockets, and use the larger pocket for wet or used items.

What a GREAT combination!  What a great GIFT idea!

Feeling Miserable and Excited All at Once

Linda

NewProductsSmallStarted feeling funky yesterday and this morning discovered that I had early stage bronchitis.  Been feeling crummy all day BUT was excited when I came home to find a box full of Norwex goodies on the doorstep.  The box contains many of the NEW PRODUCTS for Fall 2015 that were available to consultants in attendance at the recent Conference for a very special price.  Check out the NEW Water Filtration System!

I’d love to do a home demonstration with a focus on the new products.  I may do it at my home but would really prefer to do it in YOUR home so that YOU can get all the great Host gifts.

If you would like to host a home show, it’s really easy and I’ll help make it fun for you!  Check out this link to see how it works.

Conference Reflections

Linda

I just returned from my first National Norwex Conference in Minneapolis MN.  Tim provided a video of our view from the room at the Hyatt Regency Hotel … it was very beautiful with wonderful weather.  I didn’t see much of it though because I was gone all day each day. Tim enjoyed it though as he stayed in the room and worked while I attended the Conference.

It was a great experience and well worth the money and time I invested.  I found Norwex to be a giving, caring community with a great purpose. Norwex staff members evidenced a real desire to truly help their consultants as we work together to improve the world’s environment.  A lot of new products were showcased and I’m excited to share them with others in the day ahead.  Check the “NEW Products” tab at the top of the page for a preview!

I attended some great workshops and came home pumped about being part of the Norwex Movement.  The Conference gave me the opportunity to learn several things that will help me move forward with my mission and business here at Elbow Grease!  This website is only one of those ideas!

Many thanks to my friend Jeni for all the encouragement she has given me and for the fact that I know I can count on her help as we promote healthy cleaning together.
