Whether you’re sending a child off to college or your starting off on your own for the first time, Norwex has 5 college essentials for your dorm or apartment to save you time and money!
It’s the moment so many have been waiting for- you’re sending your child off or YOU yourself are off to college!! They are ready to start their new life; you are ready to reclaim another room in your house. Amidst all the preparations, from textbook lists to emailing roommates to decide who is bringing what, have you thought about how you are going to keep your new space clean? Did you bring the college essentials for cleaning and hygiene? Nothing sours new roommate relationships quite like a stack of putrid laundry. Or hair all over the vanity. Or whatever take-out is now a science experiment in the mini-fridge.
Even worse are the real illnesses that college life can bring. The combination of close quarters, lack of hygiene, sleep and stress make for a perfect storm while you are trying to get good grades and make new friends.The CDC recommends college students be “proactive…mean[ing] wash your hands, constantly sanitize counters and other surfaces, and get a flu shot” (wndu.com). That sounds great but you may be wondering…
“How does a college student have time to be proactive and clean?”
“Where do you store a bucket of chemicals in your already bursting dorm room?”
“Yeesh!! Who knew cleaning materials cost money and that I have to keep replacing them?!”
Half way into your semester, you may wonder “Do I even want to use chemicals to clean when they are so bad for our health and environment??”
Norwex is the perfect solution to all of these questions!! You only need water and a Norwex cloth to get surfaces completely clean. Densely woven, superfine Norwex Microfiber physically removes up to 99% of bacteria from a surface using only water when following proper care and use instructions. Seriously, all you need to do is wet down a cloth and wipe down the surface. The microfiber picks up everything in its path. Once in the cloth, the BacLock micro silver technology helps to keep the cloth clean – BacLock is an antimicrobial agent solely intended to protect and self-clean the cloth by inhibiting growth of odor-causing bacteria, mold and mildew. This means you can stretch how often you launder the cloths, which will work well for your schedule too!
Check out these 5 college essentials to keep yourself and your dorm space clean and healthy in just a couple minutes!!
Enviro Cloth
Instead of stocking up on chemical-laden, disposable cleaning wipes, just pack 1 EnviroCloth! This cloth can clean just about anything with just water and the Norwex microfiber. This cloth can remove 99% of bacteria when used correctly. It contains a feature called BacLock too, which is an antimicrobial agent which protects the cloth by winning the fight against odor-causing bacteria in the cloth, helping it to stay fresher longer. You don’t even need to wash it after every use, just when it starts to stink!

Body Cloth
When you have an early morning class, save yourself some time and money by switching to the body cloth. Just wet the cloth down and wipe off. It will give you a sponge bath that actually works by removing the sweat, bacteria, and other grime. This is not just for the ladies! College brings stress, which can lead to acne. This super soft suede cloth, removes the sweat, dirt, makeup, and excess oil from your face. I have seen it work wonders and you won’t need to buy expensive and harsh soaps.

When you’re in the final days before going home to do laundry, spray this on your pile to save relationships! It uses enzymes instead of chemicals to break down the organic material making things smelly.
