HOUSEHOLD CHEMICALS: HOW SAFE ARE THEY?

Are you experiencing sensitivities to cleaning chemicals at home or at work?

Do you worry about chemicals posing a risk to your health and the health of your family?

Did you know you can reduce the use of chemicals and still clean effectively? 

Research tells us that the widely available household chemicals have tripled in the marketplace, and in some cases, are more potent than ever. In efforts to address killing germs, there is now a large brew of cleaners to choose from in stores. Over time from constant exposure, our bodies develop sensitivities, which we may pass down to our next generation! The media has been covering the ever-growing concern of toxins in household chemicals. Scientists are becoming concerned that long term low level exposure to chemicals may be just as dangerous as short term high dose exposures. Even more, there is concern that bacteria continue to become resilient to many disinfectants.

There are ways to reduce the risk of exposing you and loved ones to household chemicals. Norwex Enviro Products eliminate the need of chemical cleaners by 90%, and are a safer choice when it comes to our health and our environment. Norwex is committed to providing a quality line of products that make a difference in our day to day living. 

From microfiber cloths (use with water only and remove dirt, grime and 99% of bacteria- tested and proven in Norway, Sweden and Japan in hospitals and surgical clinics), microfiber mops (real revolution in mop technology! They pick up 99% bacteria, are washable, extremely durable and save money by eliminating cleaning products, plus are safe for hardwood), and many other highly effective cleaning products that are warranted. We also carry high quality, personal care products that are certified by Ecocert.
