If you are
like me, you generally hate to go to home demo parties, but you usually go
because you have been invited by a friend, and you either want to support them
in their endeavors or you know there will be good food and alcoholic beverages
there.
Over the
years I have attended parties for candles, jewelry, makeup, wine, adult toys,
cook ware, crafts, drug paraphernalia and many more. The parties have ranged
from being much fun to outright crimes. Seriously, I attended a candle party
where the party hostess pocketed the money and never delivered the candles to
anyone. And the candle company refused to do anything, basically telling me
that if I was dumb enough to attend one of their parties I deserved to get
ripped off. But I digress.
I was
recently invited by a dear friend to attend a NORWEX party. In case you don’t
know, NORWEX is a company that manufactures environmentally friendly cleaning
products. I had previously heard of NORWEX from the owners of the Dude Ranch
where we hold one of our annual quilting retreats. One of the owners- Karen-
swears by NORWEX.
As I knew
this particular party would have excellent food and vast quantities of Sangria,
I decided to attend. I was nursing my fourth or fifth Sangria, okay, maybe it
was the sixth, and was politely watching the demonstrations, I heard the
presenter say that the typical NORWEX user will save over $600 per year on the
purchase of cleaning supplies. Now this caught my attention. I was thinking “HOLY
CRAP! That would be another $600 I can spend on fabric!”
I quickly
downed what was left of the fourth, fifth, or sixth Sangria and began to pay
attention in earnest. I learned that by using two basic NORWEX cloths – one to
wash (only using water) and one to dry – I would no longer need to buy window cleaners or furniture polish.
I learned how their anti bacterial cloth would clean my counters and I would never have to
buy abrasive cleansers anymore. I learned how two little rubber balls in my
dryer would not only cut down on drying time but would eliminate the need for
fabric softeners or dryer sheets. In my mind, I was already shopping for new
fabric!
I must admit
I was impressed by how clean the various demonstrations got everything. I particularly liked the idea that all of the
products were environmentally friendly. And, I especially liked the idea of having the
extra $600 a year to spend on fabric.
I not only
decided to start using NORWEX products, I signed up right then and there to
become a NORWEX consultant. When I got home and excitedly told my wonderful,
adorable, handsome, and generally supportive husband, he immediately asked
“Just how the hell many Sangrias did you have?”
He became
more supportive as I showed him the products that I had purchased and shared
the information on how environmentally friendly everything was. Then I told him
about how much money we would be saving every year. I could see his wheels
spinning. I didn’t tell him that I had already earmarked the savings for
fabric.
After having
used NORWEX products for several months now, I must admit I am very pleased.
Our windows and glass patio doors have never been so clean. I laugh every time
one of the wiener dogs makes a dash to go outside only to bang their little
head on the sparkling clean glass. The dryer balls work like a charm. I have
been totally pleased with every product that I have tried. And, I have found
that using NORWEX products cuts down on the time I had previously spent on
cleaning thus giving me more time to sew! Definitely a win-win proposition.
If you are interested in getting more money to
spend on fabric, along with more free time to sew, I would be happy to
introduce you to NORWEX. If you would
like I could send you a catalogue. Just drop me an email or comment with your
address. Or, you can go directly to my NORWEX website by using the following
