Ever heard the saying, "Born with a silver spoon in the mouth?" Did you know it came from wealthier people eating off of silver plates & utensils during the plagues in Europe, and in turn, were less likely to contract the plague. Norwex utilizes the antimicrobial properties of silver in their Microfiber cloths, meaning that cloth & water can replace your chemical sprays & paper towel. This means better health, saving money, and saving the environment! Oh, I also have to add, that using just Norwex Microfiber and water also saves you time - our most valuable asset!
