Cleaning the Bathroom with Norwex

For some reason, cleaning the bathroom has always been my least favourite chore. I think it comes down to cleaning the bathtub; I just really hate having to scrub that huge thing! I've tried everything from highly toxic cleaners that left me with a raw throat, to vinegar which seemed to work, but made my entire house smell. Switching to Norwex was the best decision I have made in this area.

What drew me to cleaning the bathroom with Norwex was mostly the lack of chemicals needed. I used to need to keep a window open while cleaning because the chemicals would affect my asthma and I'd end up getting a cold or finding it hard to breathe for a day or two after cleaning the bathroom. When that's happening every week, you'll try anything for a change!

Switching to Norwex not only saved my respiratory system, but it also cut my cleaning time almost in half! Part of this has to do with the size of the bathroom scrub mitt - it covers more area than a regular cloth would and you don't need to put all your weight into scrubbing!

Here's a breakdown of what I do when I clean the bathrooms:

1. Mirrors: I start with a damp Enviro Cloth and wipe down all reflective surfaces. Then I dry them with a Window Cloth, which leaves my mirrors streak free.

2. Counters: I use the same damp Enviro Cloth to wipe down my counters. No soap or chemicals needed here! If the counters have bad water spots that require some elbow grease, I will use some of the Norwex Cleaning Paste with my damp Enviro Cloth.

3. Tub/Shower: I either use some diluted Blue Diamond Bathroom Cleaner in a spray bottle, or the Descaler (both work really well to break down water stains, bathtub rings, and generally shine up the tub/shower). I will spray, leave a couple minutes (directions for both products are on the bottles), and then wipe down with a damp Bathroom Scrub Mitt. I use the scrubby side first, especially with stubborn bathtub rings, and then give it a quick wipe down with the soft microfiber side.

4. Toilet: I use the same diluted Blue Diamond Bathroom Cleaner in a spray bottle, along with a damp Enviro Cloth (same one as before!) and spray and wipe down the toilet. I finish with adding some concentrated Blue Diamond Bathroom Cleaner around the inside of the toilet bowl, and using the Ergonomic Toilet Brush to scrub the inside.

And that's it! The products I use are:
Enviro Cloth: $17.49
Window Cloth: $19.99
Cleaning Paste (sometimes): $31.99
Blue Diamond Bathroom Cleaner: $29.99
Descaler (sometimes): $29.99
Bathroom Scrub Mitt: $25.49
Ergonomic Toilet Brush: $20.99
TOTAL: $175.93

Now, the total might seem like a lot, but keep in mind that the only things I'll need to replace within a couple years are the Cleaning Paste (which seems to last forever!) and the Descaler (which I only use once in a while) and Blue Diamond Bathroom Cleaner. When you compare that to the price of bathroom cleaning products, you easily save money within two years!

The other way to go about cleaning your bathroom with Norwex is to simply use the Enviro Cloth and Window Cloth. Keep in mind that the Enviro Cloth removes 99% of bacteria from a surface with proper use and laundering. If you're willing to put in a bit of elbow grease, you can clean the entire bathroom with those two cloths and water! When those two are purchased together in the Basic Package, it only costs $33.99!

Basic Package $33.99

There's other packages where you can combine some of the products, and there are different deals each month that often include some of these bathroom basics. To be notified of these sales, send me an email to join my monthly e-newsletter!

Cleaning with Norwex has been a gradual process with me, so if you're interested but hesitant to buy all at once, let me know and I can work with you to see where we can start. Another great option is hosting a party, which often results in lots of free stuff for the hostess! Or you could go the route I did and become a Norwex Independent Sales Consultant and get a great discount on all products as well as some free!
