Behind the Microfiber

Norwex microfiber is 1/100th the size of a human hair and can hold up to seven times its weight in matter! As you lightly wipe the surface, the mirofibers attract and draw up even the smallest particles of dust, trapping them in fibers. Norwex's antibac microfiber is said to be one of the most innovative products in cleaning! Unlike cotton cloths that will spread the dirt, grease and other products around, Norwex microfiber, when used wt, lifts these particles up into the cloth and away from the surface.  Once inside the cloth, the micro silver i the cloth goes to work with self purification properties against the mold, fungi and bacterial odor within 24 hours, so that it is ready to use again. Another great thing about Norwex microfiber is that it is back with an exceptional 2 year warranty!


About Norwex!

Norwex is committed to radically reducing the use of chemicals in personal care and cleaning to promote health. More than ever we feel the need to emphasize the positive environmental impact of reducing chemical use.

During the past several hundred years, human activity has significantly altered our global environment, and the negative effects of this are becoming alarmingly clear. No longer can we ignore the warning signs from nature. This trend can be changed if we all work together and take honest responsibility for our planet. It is a fact, household pollutants impact our environment. A radical reduction in the use of chemicals is an important step to improve the health of our planet and our quality of life.

The Norwex corporate vision for our products reaches far beyond the limited horizon of just making a profit; we are striving for a better quality of life for present and future generations. Our deep central theme is reverence for the value and beauty of all life on a healthy planet. Join us in our effort to improve quality of life in a profound way!

Mission Statement

To improve quality of life by radically reducing the use of chemicals in personal care and cleaning.

Health & Ecology

In the last 50 years more than 80,000 new chemicals have been produced and introduced into the environment. "Ecology" refers to the way human beings, animals, and other life forms and nature interact and influence each other.

The ecological approach considers that all living species and nature are interdependent, and that there are limitations to what nature can absorb in terms of human activities such as pollution.  Change something here, and the consequences will pop up there.  Radical change -- man made or otherwise -- may overwhelm the delicate balance in the environment, resulting in unintended and dramatic negative change.

We must find a way to provide for the needs of the present, without sacrificing the ability of future generations to provide for their needs.  Contributing to the change by becoming part of the Norwex family will result in an improvement in quality of life.

"We strive to improve quality of life rather than standard of living."

Behind this aim lies the value and beauty of life itself, both for us, and other life forms. 

From a health point of view, it is equally important to radically reduce the use of household chemicals.  Research and information on the health effects of chemicals has not kept pace with their development and use. "Most of the chemicals that people are exposed to everyday have never been assessed for their impact on human health."

The harm chemicals have on humans is extensive.  Chemicals found in the average home are linked to many serious diseases such as allergies, birth defects, cancer, and psychological abnormalities.  Many today believe that the extensive use of chemicals indoors contributes to "modern" diseases such as asthma and allergies.
 

Core Values

"There is no compromise between success and doing it right."

Therefore we must identify the values we will use to decide how to 'do it right'. Values are unwritten rules about how people should interact - rights and wrongs - as well as rules about things that are important.

Integrity is the quality of being honest and morally upright. Our company mission is of the highest moral standard - we want to improve quality of life - we want to help mankind.  We must therefore adopt the same high standards in our work for Norwex in general - nothing else makes sense.

Incorporating integrity into our core values means:

• We must have consistency between what we say and what we do -- we must 'walk the talk'
  
  
• We must be sensitive to moral issues
  
  
• We must act ethically
  
  

Trust is the expectation or belief that one can rely upon another person's actions and words.  Trust promotes creativity, conflict management, teamwork and leadership.  Trust encourages cooperation, information sharing and joint creation of new knowledge. 

Trusting someone else means we are willing to place our assets at risk when entering into a business relationship.  When a new sales consultant starts spending time and money with Norwex, an element of trust is involved.

Respect implies that you hold the person in high regard.  All human beings deserve respect just because they are human beings.  To receive respect confirms the person's worth as a human being.

Respect is fundamental for working efficiency - you will not be efficient if your employees do not respect you.  No one works alone in an organization.  Respect is fundamental for successful teamwork.

Trust communicates judgement of a person's reliability, while respect communicates judgement of a person's worth. Respect influences the ability to trust others.

Honesty is the quality or fact of being honest upright and fair.
