If you have been to a Norwex party, odds are you loved the product and bought at least one item to try. I have been very satisfied with the performance of the clothes in almost every area - including easy carpet cleaning!
But one problem had me almost throw them out last week, the stink. They say if it stinks then it needs to be washed. So I wash. Still stinks. Wash it twice on hot, with towels, without, boiled in a pot, used Norwex detergent, used home made detergent, used green detergent. Still stinks. I ring out every time and use green dish soap to treat stains. Nada, still stinky. My husband even said "I don't like these any more, can I throw it down the disposal?" I think he was a little frustrated at the smell.
Then on one of the cloth diaper blogs I follow, they were talking about a product called RLR that gets ammonia stink and build up out of diapers. I have heard of this before but didn't care to purchase another laundry item. Come to find out in the post that it is mainly washing soda (which I use in the homemade detergent in a small amount.) Seeing as I have a whole box, I thought I would give it a try because we have been having ammonia issues again.
I added about 1/2 cup to the hot wash cycle for my diapers and threw a Norwex cloth in just for good measure. Everything came out smelling so clean and stink free!
I am so thrilled at this because I wanted so badly for Norwex to work for our home but was at my wits end. I quickly did a load of all my Norwex clothes and the result is the same - stink gone!
Hope this helps anyone in the same boat. Washing soda is fairly inexpensive and can be used for a variety of odor elimination (I am trying it on our pillow cases and sheets next!)

My beautiful bride.
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless. (Ephesians 5:25-27 NASB)

Just a day in the backyard playing with leaves. We love the fall in NC. Enjoy these photos!
