And I Thought Our Floors Were Clean!
I would say I am a relatively clean person. I try to clean our home once a week – it may be a week and a half at times. My cleaning routine usually consists of dusting, cleaning the bathrooms, wiping down kitchen counters, picking up, and cleaning the floors. Again, I try to do this weekly.
Since being introduced to Norwex, I have been trying a few of their products and as always, wondering how they measure up. I have used a swiffer mop for years. Although, I have tweaked the idea of a swiffer mop because I was too cheap to buy the refills. I then started to use my cheap microfiber cloths and attached them to the mop. I thought it was a rather genius idea, thinking that I was saving money and getting that much more dirt off of our floors. I thought I was sitting pretty good.
Then I decided to use my new Norwex Mop System. First of all, I was shocked at how fast I had mopped the floor. Instead of sweeping, I used the dry mop pad (though I would recommend getting the superior dry mop pad because it has corners, unlike the regular). After I used the dry mop, this is what I picked up:
Can I just say YIKES! All of THAT came off of my floors – the floors I clean WEEKLY? Apparently my whole swiffer mop idea tanked as I look at the results of using JUST the dry mop. I decided to follow up with the wet mop pad (made of microfiber) and again, was a little shocked at what I had picked up. Granted now that it is nice out, I feel we come in and out of the house a little more often, but still.
So why the Norwex Mop?
- No need to use toxic chemicals
- Floors dry in 20 seconds (no need to tell the kids to stay off!)
- No pails (ever have a pail tip over?)
- Just water and the mop
- Rustproof
- Adjustable handle and swivel head
- Easy clean up
- Can be used on all smooth surfaces such as walls, windows, ceilings, and floors (how about that for a multi-use item!)
Wow that's s lot of money for a mop! We've been using a dry mop and wet mop with microfiber for years. I love how well it works and how simple the system is… but it we paid under $50 for the whole thing.
That's awesome! If you have found something that works, that's great! I am just speaking from experience that what I thought my microfiber was doing, wasn't so great, so that is why I am lovin' the Norwex system :). Thanks for sharing!
Love my Norwex mop! I recently hired a cleaning lady to come in occasionally to help me. She loved it so much she bought one for herself and her daughter.
I almost had to chuckle at this because until you use it, it is really hard to believe how well it work! Isn't it AMAZING? I am glad you too, find so much enjoyment in a mop :). Thanks for sharing!
Yay! A post to answer my earlier questions with even more details 🙂 I just got all my norwex products last night. I had cleaned my house earlier this week but couldn't help opening the envirocloth and trying it out today. Once I got going, I couldn't stop for a few hours! I did appliances, baseboards, cupboards, door and frames… I can't believe how dirty my "clean" house was! The mop system is definitely on my list for later this summer. Appreciate your review and pictures!
YES! They SO make you want to go on a cleaning rampage because they just work THAT WELL! It is so hard believe in it until you try them, but they really do make cleaning fun! I am glad you too, feel the same way, Betsy! The mop is definitely work it – this Dutch girl definitely admits that. Thanks for sharing this Betsy! Miss see you on our year/bi-yearly retreats!
I'm falling in love with the Norwex products… but now you show me this mop. Oh my. I might have to add that one to my list. Thanks for the great review!
Wishing you a lovely day.

Aren't they amazing?! I NEVER thought I would love them as much as I do! Definitely add this one to the list 🙂 – the pictures do not lie! Thanks Jennifer 🙂
