You mention in your conclusion that you've found alternative sources at $2 - $3 per cloth - were you referring to the e-cloths as opposed to Norwex? If you've found other brands that are comparable and this reasonable, would you be willing to share Lisa Cataniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02299991515656311941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167086251514186647.post-21005802555453011792016-11-15T20:43:55.174-05:002016-11-15T20:43:55.174-05:00Hi Katydid!

I do find that I take some comfort in knowing that the Norwex contains silver which is demonstrated to kill bacteria, and similar cloths are being tested to see if they can be used to scrub pre-surgery patients. <br /><br />I also like the Norwex cloths that can be used for personal bathing.

So, when you go to use your Norwex cloth the next time, it will have dried, thus self-sanitizing itself because of the silver, so you know you're basically starting out with a completely germ-free cloth. If the e-cloth doesn't have the silver, I'm not sure a person could say the same thing about it.

I hope this isn't a dead thread, because I'm having trouble coming up with a proper answer from a non-Norwex rep :-) I was at a party and the rep claimed that it also sanitized surfaces.

Or you can soak them in a bucket of hot water for 4-5 hours & rinse them afterward. I imagine this would apply to the e-cloth since they are so similar.

Does ecloth say the same? I would hope to be able to follow the instructions, but could see my husband accidentally washing these and don't want my investment ruined. ��. If the ecloth is more flexible then I might go that route instead.
