Kids are never too young to help out around the house, am I right? But I'm not about to let my kid run around spraying chemicals around our living room or eating surfaces. (No!!)
My good friend Jen has introduced our family to Norwex microfiber cleaning cloths. What is Norwex? Their mission is to improve quality of life by reducing the use of chemicals in personal care and cleaning. With the Norwex Microfiber System, you do not breathe, touch or ingest chemicals. And the cool thing is that they offer a set of microfiber cleaning cloths made just for kids.
So, I put Lo to work. Now, at first, I will admit that my girl was a bit dramatic when I asked her to help me clean up the house a bit. (Gasp! "Mo-om ... you want me to clean this whole table!?) But that's when things got fun.
We put the cloths to the test. The butter test. (Jen suggested we give this experiment a try.) And so I gave Lo a partial stick of butter and let her rub it all over our glass dining room table.
And the drama quickly faded away.
"This is fun. Am I going to get in trouble for this mess? You're seriously letting me do this?!"
And then the test! Using nothing but water and the blue Enviro Norwex cloth, I asked her to clean the butter off the table. And in no time at all, the butter was completely gone.
Seriously. Gone. Then, she did a little extra polishing with the orange Window Cloth.
Not a single streak or smear of butter was left. My table top was clean and shiny. It was kind of amazing! The whole process took about two minutes flat. And we didn't use any chemicals or sprays.
In no time, my kid was running around finding more glass to clean and polish.
And the dusting mitt is super fun, too. Who needs a maid when you have a child who's totally enthusiastic about using her very own dusting mitt? I'm totally going to have to 'borrow' that. So quick and easy.
Would you like to win your own set of Norwex Kids Cloths? They're pretty cool, right?
Here's what you could win:

Window Cloth. This cloth allows you to clean windows, mirrors, jewelry, and shiny surfaces with only water.
