TECHNICAL TIDBITS - HARD WATER SOLUTIONS

In a recent newsletter that Norwex sends out to the consultants, I found this article that I thought would be useful for my customers.

Enviro Cloth

Hard water can result in lime (calcium and magnesium) buildup over time. This may result in your Enviro Cloth feeling harder or perhaps almost seeming to repel water and does not wet easily. One solution is to soak your cloths in undiluted vinegar for a few minutes, wring out well, and then launder. If you add vinegar to the rinse cycle it may help reduce this problem in the future and will soften your other fabrics as well.

Because well water does not contain any chlorine, this may result in odour issues with any Norwex cloth(s). To remove, rinse in vinegar, then boil the cloth(s) in a pot on the stove for about 10 minutes to thoroughly remove/kill any bacteria or organisms that may be causing the odour

Other Hard Water Solutions

For deep cleaning toilet bowls use Norwex DeScaler: pour a bucket of water into the toilet to remove most of the water. Spray the built up area with DeScaler, let sit for about 2 minutes, then clean with the Sanira Brush.

For tough soap scum, hard water marks in your tub and any other difficult job, use Norwex Cleaning Paste and an Enviro Cloth or a Spirisponge - I can give you a personal testimony on these products!!
