How to Get Rid of Stains from Norwex Mop Pads?
Norwex Mop Pads are like new again! I always wash my pads when I get back from cleaning but I recently noticed that they were starting to stain. I couldn’t remember when I last bleached them so I knew it was time to do it again.
Of course, bleach kills the germs but it doesn’t remove the stains. I tried scrubbing them with Dawn, bleach, vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, Oxiclean, you name it!

Finally, I tried pouring some bleach on them and letting them soak for a few hours. Then I scrubbed them with Dawn and washed them in the machine. They were still stained! I tried washing them with vinegar and then bleaching them again.
No luck! I finally scrubbed them with Dawn, dried them, and then threw them in the dryer. They came out perfect! I didn’t even have to wash them!
I’m not sure if it’s because I used Dawn or if it’s because the dryer worked the bleach in so well. Either way, I’ll be doing this from now on!
