Most Thursday nights my friend Kim and I go for a dog walk.
We talk about a lot of things - people, world events, kids etc.
but we DON'T EVER talk about housework.
I mean
Never.
So I was quite shocked when she told me about a new
chemical free
way of cleaning that she is using.
She said her friend Angie is selling it from her home.
I know Angie slightly because I taught her son
so I called her and made an appointment.
You know -
save the environment and all that.
Angie came over yesterday.
This is what happened:
My stove top.
I have been trying so hard to keep the black top nice.
Bought the recommended cleaner and the special sponge.
I was surprised at the difference when
Angie cleaned the front burner on the right.

The one on the left isn't been done yet.
Here's the close up.

I decided to clean the left burner.
First I tried the recommended cleaner but as usual I couldn't get all of the marks off.
Then I tried Angie's product.
Check out the burner on the left after I had finished!
Angie is cleaning my kettle while I take a picture of my beautiful stove.
In the past I've had to use magic eraser to remove tea stains from my cups
but here I am removing the stains with only a cloth.
No chemical cleanser!
There's a scientific reason for this, but I'm not a scientist
and who the frig cares anyway.
It works and it's safe.

My sink with just a few swipes of the cloth.
And here is Angie doing my kitchen window
without vinegar and newspaper which is my preferred window/mirror cleaner.
Not a streak and not an iota of dirt.

Now I have to tell you I am impressed.
The only thing I didn't like was that although the products originated in Norway,
they are now made in
SURPRISE
China.
Anyway, the company is called
Norwex
so if you would like to have a few less
chemicals in your life

PS Remember the tire blog?
I promised I would never blog about tires again.
Well I never have.
And now I give you my solemn word that
I will never blog about house cleaning again!
:)

That's amazing! You'll have to wear sunglasses inside now so you don't get blinded by the sun bouncing off your clean stove-top, windows, etc. Maybe you can borrow Secnarf's shades, eh?
Looks fantastic, but I'm not completely convinced - I need Angie to come over and clean my entire house before I can decide... haha!! I see Flynn's back in his favourite spot :)
I now realize that I actually have three of these cloths - two are for your body, one for general cleaning. My daughter gave them to me a while back and I stuck them in a drawer. Now maybe I should try them out :)
You guys are so funny, but yes Jane you should try them. I ordered the dish cloths too but that is going to be a real psychological challenge for me to wash my dishes without using soap!
Sounds very interesting, Francie. You had me at the stove top. I used to have a stove like that before we moved here and could never keep it clean that way. It used to drive me batty. Unlike Jane, I did not receive cloths like these from either of my daughters, so since Angie doesn't need to go to Jane's house, perhaps she can come over and put on a demonstration for me -- throughout the entire house. That would be nice :)
We have something very similar called E-cloths. I was sceptical, but very pleasantly surprised. They work wonders on my stainless steel hob and oven.
Geez, no more tires, no more cleaning --- At this rate, pretty soon you'll run out of things to blog about.
