subject: Healthy Cleaning With Water and Microfiber [print this page] Cleaning in the traditional sense in the typical American household involves the use of chemicals to achieve the desired result. We use shower mildew removers, bleach, and countless bathroom sanitizers with chemical names few of us can hope to pronounce. Are these chemicals harmless to us? Read the labels and you'll find out quickly that many of these chemicals that we press into daily use are hazardous to our bodies. Whether thru contact with the skin, inhaling, or irritation of the eyes these dangerous household cleaning agents are causing untold harm to us, but how else can we keep our homes clean?
The answer is beautifully simple. Microfiber cloth and water. A Lund University report concerning the use of "Norwex" microfiber and water to clean showed that 99% of bacteria and microorganisms are removed from smooth surface with microfiber and water1. The study documents the replacement of chemical cleaning methods in a Norweigan hospital where microfiber proved a satisfactory replacement even in the hospitals heart and lung operating rooms.
Using microfiber and water to clean with is surprisingly easy. Microfiber is extremely effective at lifting dirt, oil, and other stains from surfaces so that no hard scrubbing is typically required. Microfiber can be used dry, wet, or damp in a multitude of applications. It can leave surfaces looking polished, and clean windows without leaving streaks.
What's unique about Norwex microfiber? Norwex microfiber cloth integrates silver particles into the weave of its microfiber cloth2. Single celled micro-organisms can't survive contact with these particles, it also prevents cross contamination of surfaces, and prevents bacterial growth on the cloth itself. Norwex microfiber is very fine and because of this it can pick up and hold more dirt and dust, its knitted or sewn in a way specific to its intended application, whether a microfiber mop, lens cleaning cloth, or standard cloth.

1. Lund University Report - .. The purpose of this project is to conduct a study on the long term development of microbiological particles when you clean with microfiber the surfaces and areas that are in daily use in a hospital. The study is done using daily regular sanitary cleaning routines, using only microfiber cleaning products and water on floors and other surfaces at Feiringklinikken in Eidsvoll Norway. 9/7/2010 from http://www.carlasnorwex.com/about-microfiber101-research.php
