Norwex microfiber is designed to help clean surfaces by picking up and holding onto small particles, leaving the surface clean. Understanding how microfiber works helps you get better results, for a clean, healthy home!
Quick Answer
Microfiber works because the fibers are very fine and create more surface area than a standard cloth. That structure helps the cloth collect dust, dirt, grease, and particles from surfaces instead of simply pushing them around. Norwex microfiber is more densely woven than the average microfiber, so it has greater results. Lab testing demonstrates that it can remove up to 99% of bacteria from a surface.
Why Microfiber Can Clean So Well
Microfiber is not magic (even though it seems like it!). It is a useful tool. A good microfiber cloth, like an EnviroCloth or Kitchen Cloth, can be very effective because its many tiny fibers can grab on to so much of the dirst onthe surface you are cleaning and remove it.
When used properly, microfiber can help reduce the need for extra products, like chemical sprays, on many everyday surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can microfiber replace all cleaning products?
No. It simplifies many everyday tasks, but it may not replace every product or every cleaning need. Norwex has a variety of products that can help with really tough jobs, such as Norwex Descaler, Power Cleaning Paste and more.
Why does microfiber start to smell?
Odors can happen when cloths don’t dry fully between uses, they’re heavily soiled or haven’t been properly laundered. Washing and drying correctly matters. Norwex microfiber cloths contain BacLock, unlock other microfiber, which can contribute to reduced bad odors.
Is all microfiber the same?
No! Norwex microfiber removes up to 99% of bacteria from surfaces, when used properly. Not all microfiber can make that claim, which makes it different than ‘other’ microfiber. Fiber quality, design, and care can all affect performance.
