Norwex Microfiber
Why is Norwex Microfiber superior to others?
Finer - Norwex microfiber is up to seven times finer than other inferior retail microfiber. This allows our fiber to pick up and hold more dirt and bugs.
Unique - In addition to being finer, all Norwex microfiber products are knitted or sewn in a unique way that makes them perfect for their individual application.
Durable - Norwex microfiber is stronger and can be laundered up to 500 times.
Guarantee - All Norwex microfiber products come with a 2-year warranty.
Antibacterial - Norwex Antibacterial microfiber products not only pick up more dirt, dust and germs from a surface, they also sanitize themselves so next time they are used they reduce the risk of cross-contaminating surfaces.
Cleaning with Microfiber is tomorrow's cleaning system, and it's here today. It is:
- Safer - clean with pure water
- Faster - Microfiber grabs all the dust and dirt in one single pass
- Cleaner - no residual chemical is left on the surface to attract future dust and dirt
- Healthier - no need to breath, touch or ingest chemicals
- Affordable - reduces the need for money on other cleaning products
- Environmentally friendly
- Is is easy to use
Microfiber cloths are environmentally friendly. They can reduce the consumption of cleaning chemicals in your home up to 90% while at the same time cutting down your exposure to toxic fumes. This can make a big difference for anyone with allergies and chemical sensitivities. In important areas of our home like bathrooms and kitchens, microfiber cloths remove 99% of the bacteria from surfaces, resulting in a cleaner, healthier environment. Microfiber cloths are very durable. They are widely used in commercial cleaning environments and can withstand the rigors of everyday usage.
About Nowex Antibac Microfiber
Norwex Antibacterial Microfiber is a new Microfiber (patent-pending) that contains an environmentally friendly antibacterial agent that has passed both FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) and EPA (US Environmental Protection Agency) approval. Norwex has developed a unique technology that combines an antibacterial silver based agent with Microfiber. The antibacterial agent is embedded inside tiny microfibers the size of 0,3 denier or
smaller.

The Wonders of Norwex Microfiber
What is microfiber?
One of the most important technological developments in recent years has been the ability to produce extremely fine fibers. These "micro-fibers" are of an even finer quality than natural fibers such as silk. In many products it is the luxurious feel and look of the fabrics, which makes the microfiber so special. In others it is their unique physical and mechanical performance which makes this fabric unique. With Norwex microfiber, we focus on the physical and mechanical performance in our product line.
Textile fibers are measured in grams per 10,000 meters (dtex). For a fiber to be considered a microfiber it must be 1 dtex or finer. This means a single thread of 10,000 meters must weigh less than 1 gram.
Norwex's microfiber has a dtex of 0.14. One gram of Norwex microfiber will span over 70,000 meters. In each Norwex Enviro Cloth there is approximately 2,900km of microfiber, or 2.9 million meters.
Used dry these fibers produce an electrostatic charge whic attracts and holds dust particles. When wet the fibers use capillary vacuum force to pull moisture and grease from the surface up into the fibers.
Norwex Microfiber uses capillary action to pull dirt and grease within the fibers and away from the surface.
Normal Cotton Fiber only attracks some dirt and spreads the rest around the surface.
How does it work?
Dry for dusting: The static effect created when using Norwex microfiber cloths dry enhances the microfiber's ability to hold dust particles. As you lightly wipe the surface, the fibers produce positive electrostatic charges that attract dust which has a negative charge like a huge magnet.
Moist for cleaning: Norwex microfiber holds up to seven times its weight in water. These microfibers act like bionic sponges that use capillary vacuum force to pull dirt, bacteria, grease and water into its microfibers and away from the surface leaving it reesidue free and squeaky clean.

Why do we need Antibacterial Microfiber?
As microfiber removes so much solution, bacteria and grease from a surface, it is extremely important that your cloths don't become a breeding ground for more bugs like your old smelly kitchen cloths.
To thermally clean and sanitize microfiber cloths, they need to be laundered above 77 degrees for more than 15 minutes. Norwex microfiber can be laundered up to 95 degrees Celsius. Inferior cloths cannot withstand this temperature, so they are never fully sanitized, meaning you can be spreading bacteria and germs next time you use them.
The new Norwex Antibacterial Microfiber does not disinfect the surface you clean by killing the germs on it; it removes the germs from the surface and collects them in the cloth. The silver agent inside the microfibers then inhibits the growth of the germs which eventually causes them to suffocate and die.
The new microfiber should be regarded as a complement to regular practices, as it will help prevent the transfer of germs to your hands while cleaning and help prevent cross-contamination. Germs removed are retained within the antibacterial microfiber and many common household germs will be killed within a few minutes.
