Is Norwex A Scam Or A Ripoff?
Are you wondering if the Norwex products are worth the 2012 price increases?
Did you know there is an alternative to Norwex that is better and less expensive!?
Norwex is not a scam just because they have higher prices than the MyEcloth (e-cloth®) prices.
...but this year, people are starting to talk about the possibility of a Norwex Ripoff.
Norwex is expensive, and in 2012 it getting more pricey. This doesn’t make it a scam, (read this blog post) but some people are saying that it feels like a rip-off. Do you blame them?

3. Norwex sells a low-phosphate (3%) laundry detergent, and in 2011 it came in a 2kg bag for $29.99. That changed, and now it only comes in a 1kg bag for $21.99.
At first you thought that Norwex detergent is cheaper than before, but if you take into account the smaller bag size, the newer price for an equivalent 2kg of detergent is $43.98.
This is a 46.6% price increase. Is Norwex a ripoff? maybe...
4. Norwex sells several very effective enzyme-based cleaners that have been repackaged in smaller bottles for 2012.
Again, the prices seem lower, but they have actually increased.
