I have some norwex products. I went to a show and a lady smeared a stick of butter on a window and then wiped it off with a wet cloth. Only water and this cloth. So I figured it should be able to clean up my messes. I do have a hard time swallowing the no germs thing, so I do use vinegar/water with them. I have one cloth for my toilet, one for other surfaces, a heavier one for the kitchen, and one for windows. I've been happy with them, and as far as I'm concerned, it's a good investment. That kitchen one cleans up dried-on toddler mess from the table like nobody's business.

The dishwashing liquid, however, is crap. All my dishes end up with grease on them.

I know of several people who absolutely swear by Norwex cleaning cloths. One of them operates a commercial cleaning service.

I use microfiber cloths a lot. They are great for cleaning.

I've never used that specific product, but I microfiber cloths and swear by them. You can buy for little $. I have different colored cloths for different type of cleaning around the house. I use white for the kitchen (dishes, toddler goo, etc), blue for the bath room (sink, tub, toilet, floors), and yellow for my husband's oily garage messes.

Chalk? or the roof in a car? I can deal with the 2nd but not the 1st. My sisiter hates the 2nd.

Like death.

Like a cat's tongue licking a seeping rash, only not so pleasant.

:Puke

Okay, no really....more like something sticky and chalky and velcro all at the same time. I really don't like the feeling at all.

DH steers way clear of them like they'd give him bubonic plague... I can touch some of them and not others (depending on the weave, I guess), and only if my hands aren't dry. In other words, they're great in the summertime, but icky in the winter!

Is Norwex a MLM?

I actually love microfiber. I use the 10-pack auto cloths from Wal-Mart.

I've never used them to clean greasy messes - I should try it sometime. But I'm so skeptical about them killing hospital super-bugs - how could they?

They don't kill them, they scrape them off the surface, then you wash the cloth and that's what kills them.

We bought microfiber cloths at Costco - we use them for cleaning windows, cleaning the car, as diaper inserts. But yes, I agree with people on the feel. Ick.

I have some microfiber dishcloths. They are microfiber and then one side has a scrubby surface. My friend bought some and loved them, so when she was out, I asked her to pick a package up for me. I swear chills went down my spine when I touched it. They do work really well, but I can't touch it until it is wet. So I generally flick it into the sink and turn water on it, THEN pick it up.

Multi level marketing - like selling tupperware, mary kay, avon.
