A Blog about Natural Home Products and Ideas

Have you ever heard of the Norwex brand of products? They are natural, chemical-free products designed to help you clean your home--and more. In addition to their cleaning products, Norwex sells a lot of other products, too, such as bath care items, body lotions, and products specially designed for kids.

If you want to buy Norwex items, you need to buy them through an independent consultant. Suzanne Holt is a Norwex consultant who also maintains an informative blog at LittleGreenCloth.com. In addition to posting content about Norwex products, she also posts a lot of useful tips for keeping your home clean and organized without using chemicals or other products that are dangerous to your family. She has a lot of interesting posts about saving time and money at home, too.

Honestly I've learned a lot about ways to avoid chemicals by reading Suzanne's website. Her ideas are especially relevant if you have kids or if kids regularly visit your home because she's talking about products that aren't hazardous to have around. It's a lot more convenient to pull a cleaning cloth out of a drawer than to take bottles of chemicals back and forth from a high shelf!

If you're looking for a work-from-home business opportunity, Suzanne's site may also be of interest as she tells you how to become a Norwex consultant yourself. You can sell the products at parties and/or to friends online. If you're looking for extra income, I think it's worth it to check out this opportunity as it's a proven one with a demonstrable track record.

Norwex Products and a Relationship Based Business Model

In my previous post about Suzanne Holt's blog, I focused on Suzanne as a blogger. But her website also offered me an interesting introduction to Norwex products, so this post focuses more directly on that topic.

Suzanne is an Executive Vice President Sales Leader with Norwex, which means that she helps guide a team of Independent Sales Consultants who sell Norwex products. On her website, Suzanne features information about many Norwex products. Two recent posts focused on a makeup removal product and a bathroom cleaning product, for example. In this way, readers learn about products but through the lens of Suzanne's own perspective.

To purchase Norwex products, rather than shopping on the corporate website, you shop on the website of a specific sales consultant. The company has developed a relationship-based method of sales while at the same time allowing customers to shop online, a unique combo which distinguishes it from many companies.

When you click onto the Norwex corporate website, you're greeted with an image of a blue lake, the blue sky, and a lush green field. The company, which originated in Norway in the 1990s, describes their work as follows: "radically reducing the use of chemicals in personal care and cleaning to promote health." They do this through a vast product line of items you can use for taking care of your home, as well as skin care items, shampoos, soaps, etc. They also have a special line of products developed with kids in mind. If you want to learn about those products, you need to return to Suzanne's site (or another site maintained by and Independent Sales Consultant).

Norwex is hiring consultants in the United States as well. Suzanne also provides information about working with Norwex on her blog, and she invites people to contact her personally, saying that, "you will not receive a sales pitch from me."

A Blog about Health and Environmentally Friendly Products

In "how-to" articles about blogging, you'll generally be advised that a huge key to successful blogging is providing interesting and useful content. Suzanne Holt provides just this sort of content on her blog, littlegreencloth.com. She focuses on giving information about healthy consumer products as well as resources for natural methods for cleaning and personal care. For example, her recent posts include advice on natural ways to reduce your family's chances of being bitten by mosquitos, and a series of tips for promoting skin health by avoiding toxins in everyday products.

Suzanne is and Independent Norwex Sales Consultant and Executive Vice President Sales Leader for Norwex, and she's based out of Minneapolis / St. Paul, Minnesota. Her blog includes information about the Norwex line as well. Personally, as a reader, I feel she does a good job of balancing information that's specific to Norwex with information that has broad application and isn't brand-specific; in other words, you will find useful information on her blog whether you're looking to buy (or sell) Norwex products or not.

Check out the category listings for previous posts along the left-hand margin of her blog. You'll find useful information on everything from kids and the environment to gluten-free living.
