I hope to start working on a slideshow instead of this scrolling website!*

1) Start Here

Thank you for your interest in Norwex & your desire to support the Fridley Creative Play Center!  I'm Lindsey and am serving as your consultant for this virtual party.  If you have never been to a Norwex party, I am especially glad you are here.  You are in for a treat because I am going to show you how to take care of your home AND yourself using only water!  You're going to be amazed at how much money you can save by not buying chemicals and how much time you can save on cleaning both your home and your body, all while doing what is best for our environment!  This website will provide you with everything you need to know about Norwex.  I am here to be your guide.  Feel free to call or email me with any questions you have.

If you're unable to get everything on your wish list, consider booking a virtual party of your own!  It's a great way to introduce these products to your friends without them feeling the pressure that sometimes comes with an in-home party.  Plus it eliminates the stress of picking up & cleaning your house before guests arrive!  (Admittedly, that is about the only time my house DOES get picked up :) )  Click here to download the Virtual Party Know How to answer any questions you might have.

If you end up reading this and thinking "I could do this" you're probably right.  Consider being a consultant and experience some financial freedom!  Email or call me and I will send you a packet with everything you need to know in order to make a decision.

I'd like to thank Mary for helping to bring us all together.  This party is special in that I am donating 20% of all product sales (before tax & shipping) to the Fridley Creative Play Center.  And for every person who decides to share these products with their own friends and family through a virtual party of their own, I will donate another 15%.

3) Your guide to this virtual party.

__Download this At-A-Glance Product Sheet in order to see all the products at a glance.  You will probably want to have this open while reading this webpage in order to quickly reference the products.  I will start by explaining the products on the "For Your Home" side of the sheet.

If you have any questions you can email or call me.  I will respond to all inquiries within two business days.

If you already know everything you need to know about Norwex and just want to browse the products and decide what to order, you can proceed to the Virtual Party Shop.

4) The truth about chemicals.

_The truth is that chemicals and disinfectants can harm our bodies and affect the environment and other living things in negative ways.  This is why we are not supposed to pour chemicals down the drain or throw certain chemicals in the trash.  And if a chemical isn’t safe to put down the drain, it’s certainly not safe to breathe or put on our skin either.  When using Norwex microfiber to clean, you don’t breathe, touch or ingest chemicals.

5) Dirt & Germs

_Germs grow in damp cleaning cloths, full of chemicals and grime.  This is why we need a cloth that not only picks up the dirt and grime without releasing it onto other surfaces, but a cloth that inhibits bacterial growth as well.  When using Norwex microfiber to clean, dirt, dust, grease and bacteria are actually removed instead of spread around, which you will see later in my raw meat demonstration.

6) What is microfiber & what makes Norwex different?

_ Physically, to be considered microfiber, the diameter has to be 1/6th the diameter of a human hair.  Norwex microfiber is 1/100th the diameter of a human hair.

In one Enviro Cloth there is 1800 miles of this very fine fiber!  I know, crazy right?  That's not a typo.
 
The amount of fiber, combined with the diameter and the way it is woven results in a very superior cloth compared to anything you will find in the store.  The ones you buy in the store are like buying a rake with three tines.   Norwex microfiber is like buying a rake with ten tines.  All of these fibers/tines pull dirt, dust, grease and bacteria away from the surface. 

7) Cotton Cloths and "Natural" Cleaners VS. Microfiber

_Normal cotton fiber only attracts some of the dirt and spreads the rest around the surface.  A residue accumulates on the surface from the dirt that is getting spread around, and also from the chemicals/baking soda/vinegar.  The water is the only part of a chemical/cleaning solution that evaporates, no matter how "natural" it is.  Everything else stays on the surface.  So by cleaning with microfiber, you clean less often because you are not leaving behind a dirt-collecting residue.

8) How to use Norwex microfiber.

_The cloths can be used wet or dry.  You only use water to get them wet.  Do not use with chemicals or cleaners!  The more water you can wring out of the cloth, the more perky the fibers will be and the better it will grab dirt, grime and bacteria, as shown in step 7. 

Every home needs the Basic Package.  This includes the Enviro Cloth and the Window Cloth.  You use the Enviro Cloth to clean anything you would clean with soap/chemical right now.  You use the Window Cloth after the Enviro Cloth on shiny surfaces, windows, faucets, etc, to eliminate streaks.  You can use the Window Cloth without the Enviro Cloth by spraying water on the shiny surface and drying it with the Window Cloth.

Earn up to $200 in free product, including the mop!

Host your own virtual party and I will give you 50% off ANY item.  Plus you will benefit from the corporate Norwex specials, including $100s in free product!  In January you can earn the mop for free!  Here are the corporate hostess specials for January.  I am booking through March right now.  Remember, if you book a party, the Play Center gets an extra 15% donation!

9) How to wash Norwex microfiber.

_ After regular use, just rinse it under water.  If slightly dirty, wash it in the sink with a little environmentally-friendly dish soap. 

When they get dirty, launder with your other laundry using an environmentally-friendly detergent.  With nothing super linty.  No Velcro.  No bleach, fabric softener, or dryer sheets; they will destroy the product’s ability to clean effectively.  (Read my blog post if you are interested in learning more about why you shouldn't use fabric softener and dryer sheets.)

I won't promise you that your cloth won't stain, but to deep clean (remove stubborn stains or odours) boil the microfiber for ten minutes.  To avoid colors bleeding together, boil one cloth/color at a time.

Work with completely flexible hours

_ Not only has Norwex given me financial freedom, it allows my time to remain flexible.  I get to set my own hours.  I can work when my kids are napping and I can pick when I want to be away from my family.

10) Raw meat demonstration

If you really want to see some empirical evidence that these cloths CLEAN USING ONLY WATER, you need to watch my YouTube Video: Clean Up Raw Meat.

_If this is just simply unbelievable, let’s show all your friends the same thing!  You will get 50% off any item when you host a virtual party, PLUS you can earn a shopping spree from Norwex.  Here are the corporate hostess specials for January.  I am currently booking through March.  Remember, if you book a party, the Play Center gets an extra 15% donation!

11) Antibacterial silver sets Norwex even further apart!

_ Now many products are made using silver to give antibacterial properties to a surface.  Some of these products include socks, soap, curtains in hospitals, band-aids and toothbrushes.

_Silver is incorporated into the fibers of Norwex microfiber that has the anti-bac symbol next to it in the catalog (or as indicated on the At-A-Glance Product Sheet.)  The silver will suffocate the bacteria within 24 hours.  This means your cloths won’t stink and you’ll have cleaner cloths for longer!  This sets us even further apart from anything you can buy in the store.

Make new friends

_ Another gift Norwex has given me, and is also being offered to you, are friendships.  I never EVER feel alone in this business.  There is always someone there to help me out.  Everyone has been so welcoming and even after just a couple team meetings, I could call many of the ladies my friends.

12) Enough about microfiber.  Let's talk about enzymes & other cleaning aids!

_ Norwex goes beyond microfiber and offers products to help people clean in all areas in order to improve the quality of life.  Norwex sells enzyme products to help aid in cleaning when a microfiber cloth just won't cut it.  The Norwex products substitute enzymes where other companies may use harmful chemicals.  The enzymes used in these products are natural born microorganisms found everywhere in nature.  Thus, they have little consequence for humans, animals and nature.  The enzymes break down odor causing bacteria instead of just masking it with perfume.  Refer to the At-A-Glance Product Sheet for a list of all the enzyme products and let me know if you have any questions.  If you have something with a persistent stink we may have an enzyme product to help you take care of it!

Norwex also makes a variety of cleaning aids for specific applications.  These are also referenced on the At-A-Glance Product Sheet.  Let me know what problems you have when cleaning and we may have the perfect product to help you out!  Remember, you can always email or call me with your specific cleaning problems and we can come up with a Norwex solution.

13) Take care of yourself!

If you are referencing the At-A-Glance Product Sheet, we are moving to the other side: For Yourself

Do you have sensitive skin?  If you do, no one has probably told you this, but you are lucky.  Your body is warning you that the products you put on your skin are not good for it.  The truth is, the ingredients in a lot of personal care products you find in the store are not good for anyone’s skin.  If you don’t have sensitive skin, it is time to be proactive.  You will never regret taking care of your skin. 

Your skin is the largest organ in your body and anything you put on your skin, eventually ends up in your bloodstream and throughout your whole body.  Ingredients in personal care products are becoming linked to the following conditions, and more:
• Young women going into puberty too soon
• Fish are becoming both genders because of the amount of estrogen in our water, some of which comes from the ingredients in personal care products. 
• Breast Cancer
• Male Infertility.

14) An alternative to chemical facial cleansers.

_The Body Pack & Makeup Removal Pack are natural ways to clean and exfoliate your skin.  You can clean your face and body without using any soaps, only water.  I have two customers who have bad rosacea on their face and the body cloth has cleared them up better than anything else they have ever tried, including laser surgery!  People have thrown away their expensive chemical facial regimes in exchange for these cloths!  If you need assistance in deciding which cloth you should use (Body or Makeup) let me know.

15) Improve the quality of your everyday routines

_There are also some essentials Norwex sells for the everyday care of yourself.  You will find these listed on the At-A-Glance Product Sheet.  My favorites are the Foam Soap and the Toothbrush.  Let me know if you have any questions about any of these products.

Spa Parties & In-Home Parties

My most favorite way to pamper myself these days is to take care of my skin with the Norwex skincare line.  We have the purple products for specific ailments.  The blue line is for people under 35 and includes body lotion, body wash and a complete facial regime. The green line is a complete facial regime for people 35 and older.  I will go into more detail in the following steps.
_

_I could make an entirely different presentation focused on just these skincare products.  So if you think your friends would have fun at a spa party, let’s do it!  You need to be within one hour of Fridley, MN to host a home party.  I make it well worth your time to have a home party by offering a $40 shopping spree today and I bring the products to your party.  On top of the shopping spree, you can earn some of our basic products like the Enviro cloth, Window Cloth, and Body Pack.  Here is what Norwex is offering hostesses in January.  I am currently booking through March.  Remember, if you book a party, the Play Center gets an extra 15% donation!

16) Norwex skin care

_Our skincare line contains organic, not synthetic, ingredients that are pure, safe for the environment and gentle on your skin.  Only those ingredients that promote a better quality of life and reduce the damaging effects of toxins are used.  Many of the products are EcoCert certified.

_I love the purple line for pampering myself.  They are all products targeted for specific ailments.  The leg cream, foot lotion and herbs cream all do a great job at helping me relax.  I have a customer who cannot go anywhere anymore without her Shea Butter because it does such an outstanding job on the eczema she has had for years.  Let me know if you have any questions about any of the purple products or join me during my live discussion.

Personal Growth & Self Confidence

_Another gift that the business of Norwex has given me is personal growth & self confidence.  I was always naïve about the chemicals I used in my home and put on my body until I started learning more about Norwex.  Now that I am surrounded by it on a regular basis, I am making a better life for myself and my family by keeping dangerous chemicals out of my home.

17) Norwex Daily Facial Regimes

_The blue and green lines in the skin care line are daily facial regimes.  Your skin type doesn’t matter.  Skin type is based upon your age, genetics, where you live, skin-care routine, diet, sun damage and health.  It is not unusual for a woman to have a combination of skin types at the same time.  Take the guesswork out of skin care - Norwex products are formulated to work with all skin types!

Here are the Blue, Marine Organics Products.  Use these if you are under 35 years old.

_Here are the Green, Naturally Timeless Products.  Use these if you are 35+ years old.

_You clean your face with either the body cloth or makeup removal cloth.  Then you apply the lifting serum.  Then you apply the cream.  Done! (see regimen charts below)  This is another great way to pamper yourself!  Samples will be available starting February 1st.  I will give you a free Body Cloth AND a free Makeup Removal Cloth with any purchase of a complete regime.  Again, refer to the At-A-Glance Product Sheet to see all the products in one, easy to read, place.

18) Time to shop!

_ It’s has been my treat to be able to share these products with you. Please, do not hesitate to ask me any questions.  I am here to help you shop!
