Cleaning without Chemicals

Anybody on my FList familiar with Norwex?

They claim to have cloths that can clean with no water, there's silver threading in their microfibres.


Any one know anything about this? Environmentally friendly, worth the cost? Company fair trade stuff???

I'm eyeballing [livejournal.com profile] nobodyhere and [livejournal.com profile] gracyelala, specifically cause it sounded like your cup of tea.



IF this product line sounds up your aisle, should I host a Tribal evening of it?

Silver is very low impact environmentally. The organic compounds it makes in the chemical reaction to the dirt are strongly bonded and non-toxic.

I didn't know that.

Have you ever heard of this company?

not until you mentioned them

Low impact in terms of mining or disposal, or in some other sense?

It's not something I've given any thought to, so I don't have an informed answer for you. I probably wouldn't be too inclined to buy one as I'm pretty happy with my current (pretty half-assed) cleaning system.

low impact as in the disposal does not pose any significant health or envoronmental detriment.
