I'm often finding dinnertime is crunchtime, and I'm scrounging around for a good recipe to use up... whatever I have in my fridge.

To help tame the chaos, I put together this list of favorite recipes (or recipes I want to try), sorted by primary ingredient or category. All but one or two of the recipes are on my Pinterest board, but you can probably find the same ones (or something similar) just by searching yourself.

So, for your cooking pleasure, here it is!

Uses for Norwex Ultra Power Plus Detergent

This is a compilation of testimonials and suggestions for using the Norwex Ultra Power Plus Laundry Detergent (not all my own, these are from many consultants and customers!).

I hope you will find lots of helpful ways to put this powerful cleaner to work in your own sweet home!

Stainless Steel Appliances:

A newly wed couple and they had picked up a free dishwasher off Kijiji. The lady giving it away couldn’t stand the smudges and smear marks all over the stainless steal surface. The host was beyond delighted when all the buildup and oil film was removed off the appliance with ease using the diluted UPP detergent. At another party, a host had a very high end, triple wide stainless steel range hood. From the date of installation, there was a oily film across the centre of this beautiful kitchen centre piece. Both my host and her husband were thrilled when UPP was able to remove it!

“I was at a party where I made a solution of UPP with water, dipped my wet EnviroCloth into the solution and amazingly it took off 6 years of water stain drips on the hosts dishwasher that she could not remove. She gave me the biggest hug!!”

“My past hostess used diluted UPP and an EnviroCloth to remove 4 years worth of stainless steel cleaner residue from her fridge!”

Clothes Stains:

My husband got blood on his shirt (from our son's skinned knee), and it sat for a week before I got around to treating it. A little paste of UPP and water, a normal washing, and it was gone!

"Do you have any shirts with pit staining? Well, this is an amazing solution!! Simply create a mixture of UPP with water and apply to the affected area. Run it through the washing machine and it will shock you!!"

“A chocolate stain on my daughter’s white dress that was from July!!! I made a paste with the UPP and it let it sit overnight. Completely got rid of it!”

“Cleaned coffee that was spilled on my brand new shirt. Dipped it in the water mixed with UPP and it came right out!!”

Furniture Stains:
“Dilute the UPP in water in a spray bottle and clean microfiber furniture. Works amazing.”



Norwex Microfiber Cloths:

“I tried the ‘deep clean”’ where you fill a wash basin tub with boiling water, add a scoop of UPP, add a pile of Norwex EnviroCloths and let soak. Whoa, I was shocked at how much came out of my microfiber! Some cloths I added were clean, right from the drawer. BEST way to revitalize older cloths, for sure!”






“This is a gross picture of my Travel EnviroCloth. I didn’t have time to boil it so I just put the kettle on and then filled a small bowl with the boiling water a 1/2 tsp of UPP, dropped in the cloth and put a lid on it. Came back a an hour or so later after running errands and this is what the water looked like. Gross! My cloth is so clean now… like new.”

Jewelry Cleaner:

“Ladies cleaned their rings at a party. Simply, diluted UPP. Soak for a few moments. Use a toothbrush."

Oven Racks:

“I have spent 40 years cleaning my oven and never been able to get my oven racks completely clean, especially without half a day of scrubbing. I put the racks in the tub with a teaspoon of UPP and voila, shiny, clean and just like new! Used the Spirinett with no effort to take off the really bad spots. Love it!”

Sheets:

“Takes the oils out of my massage sheets! And of course my scrubs for massage!”

“I think I’ve shared this before but it applies…My daughter covered my beige comforter in a full tube of red lipstick! I made a paste with the UPP and the Stain Remover and brushed it in with a nail brush, then I washed it in the washing machine. I had small flecks left so I repeated and viola!”


Flip Flops & Shower Curtains:

"The UPP is certainly an extremely versatile product. Here are a couple of my favourites which haven’t been mentioned: 1) Cleaning my Flip Flop sandals. These are the most comfortable footwear with great bling – but the base has texture which collects dust. Nothing cleans them faster then an EnviroCloth dipped in diluted UPP!! They look like NEW in seconds!! 2) I’ll fill our largest juice container with water and diluted UPP, set it on the edge or our tub and soak the shower curtain! Works AMAZING!!"


Carpets:

"My sister has a white area rug in her home and she added some UPP to the carpet cleaning machine, and it made the area rug look like new!!"

“I put the UPP in my carpet steam vac and cleaned my microfiber couch.”
