Consultant hacks, tips, tricks
NOT Using it as a Spray, etc.
Unlike Ultra Power Plus (UPP), I won’t recommend diluting PowerZyme in a spray bottle for general cleaning or pretreating. Why? It’s all about the formula! UPP is soap-based, making it versatile for tasks like cleaning makeup brushes or spot-cleaning surfaces. PowerZyme, on the other hand, is enzyme-based and designed specifically for laundry. Enzymes excel at breaking down tough stains like proteins, starches, and oils, but they work best with the agitation and rinsing of a washing machine.
I also won’t recommend using it for cleaning makeup brushes, jewelry, etc., as the enzymes in PowerZyme could potentially cause damage when used in unintended ways. Thankfully, Norwex has many great products for cleaning surfaces, carpets, soaking, pretreating, and more. For wool and silk, I will hand wash using our shampoo.
Why Not Use Less Than Recommended
While it may be tempting to use less detergent to save product, it is suggested to stick to the recommended amounts for a reason. Reducing the amount used also reduces the stain- and odor-fighting active ingredients needed to get clothes thoroughly clean. Using the correct amount ensures the best results and keeps our laundry smelling fresh and looking great. Plus, re-washing with more detergent and water can be costly.
Using a little PowerZyme, a little booster, a little Odour Eliminator, etc., may feel like saving, but it’s more economical for to use the recommended amount and skip the extras that we may do with UPP.
Are Norwex® PowerZyme ingredients safe?
Yes, we hold to a higher standard than those outlined by government.
Ingredients: Sodium Carbonate (Cleaning Agent) (Mineral-based), Sodium Carbonate Peroxide (Non-bleach Oxidizing Agent) (Mineral-based), Sodium Citrate (Water Softener) (Plant-based), Sodium Gluconate (Chelating Agent) (Plant-modified Synthetic), Capryleth-4 (Surfactant) (Plant-based), Laureth-6 (Surfactant) (Plant-based), TAED (Nonbleach Brightening Agent) (Plant-modified Synthetic), Subtilisin (Enzyme) (Breaks Down Protein-based Soil), Amylase (Enzyme) (Breaks Down Starch-based Soil), Mannanase (Enzyme) (Stain-removal Booster), Cellulase (Enzyme) (Fabric Maintenance), Sodium Silicate (Mineral-based) (Corrosion Inhibitor)
Enzymes are catalysts and function similarly to the way they do within our bodies – quickly helping to break down starches, fats and proteins, making them very effective at removing all types of stains
Cellulase removes soil and reduces fabric graying and pilling
Subtilisin targets protein-based stains from meat juices, eggs, milk, wine, sweat, body oils, blood, urine, feces and grass
Amylase breaks down starch-based stains including eggs, sugar, sauce, ice cream, gravy, chocolate and grass
Mannanase removes gums found in ice cream, dairy products, dairy alternatives, dressings and sauces
Warnings (if any)
Do not use on silk or wool. (Suggestion: use Norwex Shampoo to hand wash, gentle and effective)
Do not apply directly onto clothes. Use soap dispenser or add to tub before adding clothes.
Do not exceed the recommended amount on the product package.
