Cleaning Caddy Makeover

Today, my cleaning caddy got a makeover and just in time before my spring cleaning goes into full swing! I love my cleaning caddy-I carry it with me as I go from room to room so I have to fit a wide range of supplies in it to tackle whatever I might find. What I've always hated about my caddy-the bulkiness. Not to mention the ever looming fear with having kids around that one of my little ones will grab that tempting aerosol can of furniture polish and spray themselves in the eye. I've got grease, grim and grit to tackle from four busy kids and not much time in my day to devote to cleaning. This is why I fell in love with the Norwex Antibac Envirocloth and the Norwex Window cloth! With just these two cloths and a little bit of water, I can clean glass, wood, plastic, stainless steal, walls and counter-tops to a streak-free shine and amazingly clean feel in half the time as before. So, onto my cleaning caddy makeover! My cleaning caddy before Norwex:

There's Got to be a Better Way to Clean!

Welcome friends! If you’ve found your way over here then you must be curious to learn more about those Norwex cloths I’ve been raving about. I am still very new to Norwex. I tried a couple of their microfiber cleaning cloths out last week, thanks to a friend, and from the beginning I was ecstatic over how these cloths could change my cleaning routine!
A few weeks ago, I was just about at my wits end with how I was cleaning my house. My cleaning caddy was overflowing with bottles of cleaner, dusters, cotton cloths, paper towels and newspaper. My method of cleaning was cumbersome and woefully inefficient. After spending a good 15 minutes scrubbing my sliding glass doors with diluted vinegar and newspaper I was very unhappy with all the black ink that had stained the palms of my hands. Then there was the massive pile of wet newspaper that always takes up a big chunk of my trashcan space-so much for trying to stretch those trash bags!
I also have four young children who love to try and help me clean, but as a Mom I have to be careful about what I choose to let them help me clean in case they accidentally ingest or inhale to much of these chemicals.  I also got to thinking about all the items my kids use and play with that I could finally clean without chemicals! The first day my order came in I took apart the Pack-N- Play and gave it a thorough scrub down with my Envirocloth. Greasy peanut butter gone!
Lastly, with a family of six, I’m always trying to find ways to save money. A couple years ago I greatly reduced our use of paper towels by buying a stack of cotton washcloths. I quit buying glass cleaner and started making my own laundry detergent. The Norwex cloths are one more way I can save money by buying less consumable products.

There is a better way to clean!
