Understanding Your Products Helps You Use Them with Confidence!
Although these terms are often used interchangeably, they mean different things.
Cleaning
Cleaning removes dirt, dust, grease, and many germs from surfaces. Norwex microfiber cloths can help with everyday cleaning, often using just water.
Sanitizing
Sanitizing reduces bacteria on surfaces to levels considered safe under applicable public health standards. Products used for sanitizing must be appropriate for the surface and used according to their label instructions.
Disinfecting
Disinfecting uses an appropriate disinfectant to kill or inactivate specified germs on surfaces. The product must be used according to its label directions, including the required contact time.
Important to Remember:
Cleaning is an important part of everyday home care.
Cleaning with microfiber and water does not automatically sanitize or disinfect a surface.
BacLock® helps protect certain Norwex products themselves; it does not sanitize or disinfect household surfaces.
When sanitizing or disinfecting is necessary, use an appropriate product and follow its label instructions.

When Should I Wash It Right Away?

Whenever the cloth develops an unpleasant odor or remains visibly dirty.
Helpful Tips:
Use separate cloths for different cleaning areas to help prevent cross-contamination.
Avoid fabric softeners and dryer sheets.
