Hey everyone! It’s Mariah here again to show you some more great Norwex products! I love my Norwex Kitchen Cloth for so many reasons. I used to have to clean my counters with powerful chemicals just to get the stains and sticky mess off, but now I only need WATER!

It was an absolute whirlwind, but I’m thrilled to say we made it through the other side and we really couldn’t be happier with the results! Curious about which room we chose to transform? You can check out our final reveal here! Here’s a little hint: it may just involve a perfectly weathered wood plank wall!
