Remember when someone gifted you aspice rack for your bridal shower or a housewarming gift? Spice racks can look nice, but lets be honest... Most of them are way too bulky and are missing spices we love + have spices we never use!
It’s been a few years since I cleaned out my spice rack and donated it. I switched to... How to Use the Norwex EnviroCloth
How I use it:
The Norwex EnviroCloth dimensions are 35 cm x 35 cm / 13.78" x 13.78" The Norwex EnviroCloth is awesome. It is a huge cloth and it is very thick. It feels very high quality and is my favorite, I think. You can use it dry to wipe away dust and dirt. You can also use it wet. They suggest you fold it so that you can have 8 surfaces rather than one mound of cloth. i think this is a good idea. I usually wet the towel, clean the surface with the wet towel, then I use a dry section of the towel to go over the same area. This leaves everything looking very nice and avoids water spots!

Yes, I really love this cloth. I love the thickness of it which makes it feel very durable. Also, the size is huge which gives you a lot of cleaning and drying surfaces!

Some people online say e-cloth brand is just as good as Norwex at a fraction of the price. I haven't tried them yet so I can't say for sure but just sharing the information with you in case it's a more affordable option for you to embrace more natural cleaning methods.
Pin me!How to Use the Norwex Counter ClothsThe Norwex Counter Cloth dimensions are 28 cm x 13 cm / 11" x 5" These counter cloths are made from 50% recycled materials which is very cool. They are the size of a half sheet of paper towels which makes using them as you would a paper towel to clean up spills of any sort a good option. Paper towels are convenient but cause a lot of waste and expense. With a reusable option like this you not only save your wallet, but you also help the environment! Each set comes with 3 separate colors so you can use them interchangeably or implement a color-coded system. I like to use one of the cloths as a dish cloth, one for cleaning grungy things like when something drips on the floor or a greasy stove top, and the last one I use to wipe the countertops dry in the kitchen. Everyone’s home runs a bit differently, so create a system that works for you! :) How Much Does the Norwex Counter Cloth Set Cost?

I really like this set and the system I have implemented with them. I did notice, however, a small hole already in one of my counter cloths that I use for dishes. Not super happy about that.

How I use it:
The Norwex Cloth Napkin dimensions are 43.2 cm x 31.8 cm / 17" x 12.5" Simply use these as you would any napkin! Norwex Cloth Napkins are made of 50% recycled materials just like the Counter Cloths. Napkins create a lot of paper waste and cost a lot over time. Investing in cloth napkins is great for your wallet and the environment. At least use them for your family at home and if your guests would be more comfortable with paper napkins, still you have reduced your paper consumption! How Much Does the Norwex Cloth Napkin Cost?

I always hated using paper towels because it felt wasteful. I would end up tearing the half sheets in half to try not to use more than I actually needed. Since switching to microfiber for cleaning and now these reusable cloth napkins, I rarely ever use a paper towel! After each meal I rinse the napkin out and hang it to try. I launder them weekly with the rest of my norwex or as needed.

How I use it:
The Norwex Window Cloth dimensions are quite large at 45 cm x 45 cm / 17.72" x 17.72" Most people hate cleaning windows and mirrors because no matter what you do there always seems to be some sort of streak left behind which is quite frustrating. In addition to that, Windex, and other similar cleaners have such a strong odor that often can cause a headache if there is not good ventilation. I hate that stuff! With the surface or the window cloth slightly damp, polish the surface until it shines! If it is very dirty you can first take a wet envirocloth and then use the window cloth for polishing. It does wonders on mirrors, windows, any chrome/silver plumbing fixtures. I love it! How Much Does the Norwex Window Cloth Cost?

The Norwex Bathroom Scrub Mitt dimensions are 7cm x 23 cm ( 9.06” x 6.5”)
You stick your hand in the mitt, wet it, and then scrub or wipe down any bathroom surface. One side is a soft microfiber and the other side has a rougher surface for ares that really need scrubbing. How Much Does the Norwex Bathroom Scrub Mitt Cost?

I definitely use this item every week in my bathroom cleaning routine. Again, I find it convenient to have a designated item and the mitt is a convenient design for cleaning. I feel like I could do the same job with another cloth like the envirocloth, though. The scrubbing is nice, but most of the time I want to scrub around a small area so when I use my fingers to scrub, there is actually very little scrubby surface accessible because its at the fingertips where the two fabrics join, if that makes sense.

Pin Me!How to Use the Norwex Veggie & Fruit Scrub Cloth
How I use it:
The Norwex Veggie & Fruit Scrub Cloth dimensions are 32 cm x 32 cm / 12.6" x 12.6" This cloth is good for cleaning your fruits and veggies. You can scrub off the dirt and wax with the rough side of the cloth. I don’t recommend using it for soft fruits like a strawberry. But it is great for other fruits like Apples, and vegetables like Carrots, potatoes, and so on. TBH, A lot of times I would just run water over produce and “scrub” with my hands briefly. Now I feel like I am actually cleaning the food before I eat it... How Much Does the Norwex Veggie & Fruit Scrub Cloth Cost?

Pin me!How to Use the Norwex Kitchen Cloth
How I use it:
The Norwex Kitchen Cloth dimensions are 35 cm x 26 cm / 13.78” x 10.24” so they are definitely smaller than the Kitchen Towel (see my review of those here). I got a set of 3 Norwex Kitchen Cloths and I use them specifically for drying. Most of my dishes go in the dishwasher, but there are still things I hand wash whether it’s pots and pans, fragile items, things that can’t go in the dishwasher - whatever! I never really believed in drying dishes. I always found it to be a waste of time knowing they would air dry... eventually. I set my dishes on a dish drying mat to absorb the water that drips off them and that was my contribution to drying. LOL. I realized the problem is actually that my towels were garbage. They didn’t absorb well, they just smeared the water around, so it felt like a waste of time. The Norwex Kitchen Cloths are super absorbent and absorb quickly. So it only takes moments to fully dry anything I hand wash and then I can put it away and have a beautiful, clear, uncluttered kitchen counter. I love that! I kind of like drying dishes now. Sounds weird. It’s because I love that clear counter and the way it makes me feel to see everything tidy and put away when I am done! How Much Does the Norwex Kitchen Cloth Cost?

Pin me!How to Use the Norwex Kitchen Towel
How I use it:
This towel has a large size ( 65cm x 35 cm / 25.59”x 13.78” are the dimensions of the Norwex Kitchen Towel) and it is super absorbent. I use it for drying hands in the kitchen. Previously I would have 3 or more hand towels hanging around the kitchen and they were constantly soaked. When you wash your hands you need to dry them, after doing dishes you need to dry your hands, while you’re cooking and prepping ingredients you need to dry them and on and on. It’s no wonder the towels were totally soaked. While I don’t especially like the look of this towel for some reason, I found it to be excellent for drying hands! It sounds like a simple thing, but I can leave this one towel hang in my kitchen in one spot and use it to dry everyone’s hands all week long until laundry day with no trouble! It absorbs great and it never stinks (so far) which is supposedly due to their BacLock antibacterial agent which I guess is silver built into the towel that works to disinfect the towel as you leave it hanging to dry.

Pin me!The sleek, metallic design caught my eye enough times that I finally decided to go for it. Here's what I think 3 months later..
Can I just say I love this little cart? Ikea sells the Raskog cart in their kitchen islands and carts section and it currently comes in beige, black, and red/brown. I swear it used to come in a gorgeous mint/blue shade at one point.
Anyways, I have it in black and it is awesome! Yes, you can use it as a kitchen cart. You can also use it as a bedside stand (Think PJS on a shelf, books on a shelf, and charging tech on another shelf, as just one example.) You can use it as a movable art cart. Keep all your supplies in one place and pull it to wherever you want to work that day whether the kitchen table, sofa, outside, wherever! Use it as a little TV table/end table if you don't have one. Cart cleaning supplies around on it. Display books, CDS, etc at a garage sale. There are endless options. The Raskog cart costs $24.99 on the Ikea website plus shipping if you don't live close by to pick it up. Shipping varies. You can also order it on Amazon with Prime shipping. The cost goes up to $50, but you will get it delivered to your door step in 2 days and have the awesome Amazon customer service behind you. It's big price difference, but for some people it may make sense. Do you have any other creative ideas for using these carts?
I recently did a post about Wool Dryer Balls. You probably knew about them already. BUT did you know about SOAP NUTS?!
2 months ago, I ordered some natural laundry stuff off of Amazon. I ordered some Inco Little Helpers Wool Dryer Balls & some NaturOli Soap Nuts ( Soap Berries?).
I wanted to give them some time of testing before I wrote a little post. I do 2-3 loads of laundry per week, over about 8 weeks... I thought that was a pretty decent length of time. So the Dryer Balls are a natural way to soften fabric without any chemical fabric softeners or disposable sheets. They come in a nice drawstring bag. I definitely feel my laundry has come out nice and fluffy and not static-y which is great! The listing says they don't make any noise during drying, but I kind of disagree. While the dryer cycles I can hear them hitting against the inside of the dryer. It isn't alarming or inconveniently loud, but it's definitely something I can hear. Just like if you have a big buckle or zipper that you hear clang against the door while it's drying... same kind of thing. My dryer is in an enclosed laundry nook anyways, so it's really not obtrusive. One great idea to freshen the scent of clothes is toadd a few drops of essential oils to these balls before tossing them in. I loved this suggestion, but found that no matter how many drops of oils I added to the dryer balls, I still couldn't smell them by the end of the cycle! I'm not sure if theorange oil I used was not good quality, or if I need to add them in the last few minutes of the dry cycle only. Do you have any tips? Overall I am very pleased with this eco-friendly laundry purchase and will absolutely continue to use these wool dryer balls. Stop by tomorrow for a post on the soap nuts! :o) Find It On Amazon:
I have to tell you I was skeptical when DH told me he signed up forHP's Instant Ink program. Basically you pay a certain amount of money per month to HP to print a certain number of pages. They automatically send you new cartridges as needed. I thought we were legit going to be getting ripped off every month.
(I was pleasantly surprised) "Supposedly" there was a substantial savings to this. See below: |
