Norwex Mop System Review

Norwex Microfiber Mope System 
Everyone wants a mop that will make their lives easier.  Well, Norwex has a fantastic mop... it is  simple to use and reduce cleaning time.   Here are some great things about the Norwex mop:
  • mop pads are microfiber (contains static electricity to hold dirt)
  • mop pads stick to the base easily and keep sticking over time
  • mop pads allow for quick and easy dusting and shining my floors
  • mop pads pick up dust bunnies, crumbs, pet and people hair
  • mop is easy to manipulate
  • easy to clean mop pads
  • mop base stays where you put it – doesn’t “flip”
  • mop handle telescopes in and out for different mopping jobs
Norwex Dry Mop Pad
The Norwex Microfiber Mop Pad does an amazing job of grabbing dirt, dust & hair.

The Norwex Superior mop package comes with the aluminum, lightweight telescoping handle (36″ to 63″), a mop base and two microfiber mop pads – a yellow dry pad and a blue antibac wet pad. Overall, I like it a lot.  Whether you get this mop in the small (13″) or large size (20″), the mop pads stick to the base extremely well because of the way they attach with heavy velcro strips – a very secure way of fastening. There is even rubber edging on the base to protect walls.
The Norwex dry pad picks up tons of stuff off my floors that I didn’t even know was there, and it’s great at gathering up all my dust bunnies, hair, crumbs & other miniscule “floor yuck”.
In terms of its ease of use, the Norwex Superior wet mop pad is easy to use if you follow the directions. You’re supposed to move the mop over your floor in a Figure-8 pattern. If you do this, it moves easily. If you just scrub the mop back and forth, the “grab” in the microfiber can make the mop hard to move because it feels like it’s sticking to your floor, and the base can “flip”, as happens with other similarly-constucted mop bases.

Using only water, the Norwex Mop cleans EVERYTHING from your floor!

What I do like about the base of this mop is that it has a handy-dandy little flip-down locking mechanism that you lock and unlock with a mere push. If you don’t lock it, the base swivels in every direction – handy for getting under your furniture. If you flip the locker down, the base doesn’t swivel anymore, making it great for cleaning walls and shower stalls. You can even buy a mop bracket that snaps onto your mop base – it looks like a Swiffer cloth grabber – which allows you to hook on an antibac cloth or window cloth.

Turn your Norwex Mop into a window washer for those "too high to reach" windows!

I have found the Norwex mop system to work extremely well on linoleum, tile, hardwood and even laminate flooring – although with any unsealed flooring you need to be extra careful to get all the water up off the surface of the floor. It also makes cleaning large bath stalls, showers, walls and windows a lot easier.

A tip for super-shiny, high-gloss hardwood: The Norwex wet mop will leave streaks behind. BUT – if you wet the dry mopping pad and use it to wet-mop your high-gloss hardwood, you’ll find it dries streak-free!

To take care of your microfiber mop pads: Shake the dry pad outside after sweeping, or brush with the Norwex Rubber Static Brush, and re-use to sweep some more!

When the pads need to be cleaned, they can be washed and dried in your machines using any laundry soap. Dry your wet and dry mop pads with low-lint items (eg sheets), because the microfiber will grab lint off other things in your dryer if it gets a chance! Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Bleach degrades the microfiber, and fabric softener coats the fibers and wrecks their grabbing power (Norwex dryer balls let you dry your laundry faster and without static – no fabric softener required!).

Purchase the Norwex Mop!
The Norwex Mop makes cleaning your floors almost enjoyable!

Is the Norwex mop worth the price? In the end, I believe it is. It’s an extremely high-end mop, and it will last for years and years. The cost is comparable to the first year’s cost to keep stocked in Swiffer floor-dusting and Wet Jet equipment. After the first year, the Norwex mop system doesn’t cost you a dime, and you’re not throwing Swiffer pads and empty Wet Jet solution containers in the trash to clutter up our landfill space.

Guarantee: The mop pads (and all of Norwex’s microfiber) comes with an unconditional 60 day satisfaction guarantee, and a 2 year performance warranty. How can you go wrong?

Thanks Healthy Home Cleaning
