So, you can buy dish soap everywhere and anywhere. For super cheap, too. Since other dish soaps are, quite frankly, cheaper, why does Norwex make dish soap? Also, why would you want to invest in it?
Is It A Good Idea To Boil Your Norwex Clothes After Using Them?
No. You don’t want to boil your Norwex cloths. If you boil them, their highly technical fabrics will be ruined. It is not a good idea to boil them. If you feel the need to, you can either machine-wash the cloths or use disinfectant wipes to sanitize them.
Boiling cloths made of materials like Norwex cloths is bad for the cloths’ longevity and will reduce the level of cleaning they are capable of. You don’t want to damage your Norwex clothes by boiling them if you want to keep them in great condition.
What detergent can I use with Norwex?
Launder microfibre cloths with other lint-free laundry and dry completely. For best results, use Norwex Ultra Power PlusTM Laundry Detergent or another environmentally friendly detergent without bleach or fillers.
Ingredients:
Sodium Citrate, Chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, Methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, Clementine Essential Oil, Laurel Glucoside, Sodium Laurel Sulfoacetate, Cocoamidopropyl Betaine
Therefore, I am aware that some of the words in the ingredient list are difficult for you to pronounce. Here are some interesting details about these ingredients.
Glycerin – This is a vegetable derived ingredient
Laurel Glucoside is made from glucose, plant-based fatty alcohols, and renewable raw materials.
Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate – this is a great alternative to Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, as it’s derived from coconut and palm oils, conforms to Ecocert’s natural and organic cosmetic standard and is 100% of natural origin
This surfactant, cocoamidopropyl betaine, is amphoteric, which means it can act as either an acid or a base.
Sodium Citrate – A sodium salt of critic acid
Clementine Essential Oil is made from the clementine plant and is made without phthalates.
Methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, also known as Chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, is a formaldehyde-free preservative that degrades quickly and is not persistent in the environment.
Your dish soap is dumped down the drain with the used dishwater, contaminating groundwater and waterways. It eventually makes it into the ocean. Other dish soaps contain phosphates, which are dangerous because they encourage the growth of uncontrollable algae and bacteria in the oceans and deplete the water’s oxygen supply. Fish and other marine life may consequently suffocate as a result of this. Oh my.
The ingredients in Norwex Dishwashing Liquid show how GOOD this dish soap is for the environment if you want to make a difference in it!
If you don’t use dish gloves (all of my friends despise them), this won’t be harsh on your hands because the ingredient list ALSO shows that it is hypoallergenic with a neutral PH.
