Norwex Dish Cloths, my dislike for dishes, and ALL the things that make it so much better!

Anyone out there actually enjoy doing dishes? I 100% do not. Not even close to my top ten things I like to do with my time. I also feel like I am always doing them! ALL THE TIME! But let me share the tools that Norwex has that makes this job tolerable. We have lots of options, so you can find which is best for you. One of our definite customer favorites are the Netted Norwex Dish Cloths! If you hate the stinky dish cloth and want something that REALLLY WORKS, then this cloth is for you. I know it is netted. I know it seems crazy. Trust me. Partner these magic netted cloths with my Dishwashing Foaming Spray Soap Recipe & you’ll be thanking me for years to come! Below I’ll outline some of the various dishwashing options that Norwex offers.

Let’s take a look at the Norwex Dish Cloths vs. Sponges!

Norwex Netted Dish Cloth

This Norwex Netted Dish Cloth is very unique and VERY effective. If you hate the stinky-dish-cloth phenomenon, then you NEED this cloth! This netted weave of this dish cloth makes it super scrubby but nonabsorbent, so it works fabulously for scrubbing dishes, without holding on to the food particles, soap, etc. This means it doesn’t grow all the “nastiness” that makes most dish rags get stinky.

This cloth is also fantastic for cleaning up baking messes (i.e. cleaning flour off counter while baking or picking up an egg that you accidentally dropped on the floor). These come in a 2-pack, so that when one cloth is being washed (either in the top rack of the dishwasher OR in the washing machine), you are never left without one! It’ll definitely become one of your favorite things for washing dishes! They are fairly large, so when using them, you’ll want to fold or scrunch them in your hand for easiest use. Then rinse out well under running water, wring out and hang to dry!

Norwex Stainless Steel Spirinetts

Don’t let these little balls of stainless steel fool you. Spirinetts are really small and SUPER AMAZING for tough jobs. They last SO LONG and can be washed in your dishwasher as needed.  I love that they do NOT rust and can be paired with my Norwex Dishwashing Spray, Cleaning Paste, or Descaler, according to what job you are tackling.

As I mentioned, they are stainless steel so be careful with them and do NOT pull on any loose threads, but rather snip them off. I do not recommend using on scratchable surfaces, such as non-stick pans, porcelain, or natural stone, as the stainless could potentially scratch. Know that the more you use them, they do “mush down” a bit – they don’t stay in the cute little ball shape. They are very inexpensive for a 2 pack!

Norwex BacLock EnviroSponges

The Enivrosponge is double-sided – one side used for scrubbing, and the other is soft EnviroCloth microfiber that collects whatever you’ve scrubbed off. The microfiber is embedded with the microsilver for the BacLock Norwex technology.  This sponge easily fits into your hand, and is a popular replacement for those nasty “other sponges” that harbor nastiness and tend to get stinky. The scrubby side does break down over time after heavy use, and these come with a 1-year warranty. They come in a 2-pack.

Norwex EnviroScrubs

The EnviroScrubs are very similar to the Envirosponges, except they have way less “sponge” to them. I actually prefer these, myself, to the EnviroSponges, for washing dishes and utilizing with the Norwex Cleaning Paste. These are also silver-embedded BacLock technology, so you’ll love the self-purifying properties!

These really are the bomb when it comes to dishwashing tools. Double-sided like the EnviroSponge, the EnviroScrub can conquer just about any dish that is thrown at it. On one side it is gentle, and the other side has scrubby fiber that will scrub down whatever you need. These are a bit larger than your hand, but still easy to use in the sink. But, this item is not limited to just dishes – you can also use on your counters, tiles, and sinks to name a few. These come in a 3-pack.

Next up, is the Norwex SpiriSponge. Compared to the Norwex Dish Cloths & Spirinetts, this is probably the third most popular for washing dishes.

These are NOT microfiber and will not last as long as the EnviroScrubs or EnviroSponges, but they are definitely a HUGE customer favorite! If you want a super awesome, but more disposable sponge, these are your go-to! They are scrubby, yet very low-abrasion. As with all things, test a small, inconspicuous area first, but in my experience, I can use this on pretty much everything from non-stick pans to glass-top stoves. It pairs well with the Cleaning Paste, and also works well for washing dishes. Customers tend to reorder these from me again and again and again!
