2 Year Savings by Buying Green - Savings Showdown

August 8, 2009

In a number of posts in this series, I did rough estimates as to whether Norwex products were more expensive than traditional cleaning methods.

Summary of 2 Year Savings

Over a two year period, using the above Norwex products (dusting mitt, Norwex wet and dry mop, dryer balls, laundry detergent and magnet ball) will save you approximately $300 over your traditional methods.  In my view there is a general perception that going green is more expensive.  But, here you have it, not only do the Norwex products save you money, they reduce the number of chemicals in your home, will result in health benefits and reduce your waste.

The $300 I have estimated are just the savings over a two-year period and I am certain that many of the Norwex products, e.g. Mop and dusting mitt will result in even further savings in subsequent years.

For more information on how I arrived at these estimates, please visits my other posts in this series.  Below is a brief summary as to how I arrived at $300.

Dusting Mitt: This is a savings of $150.31 over a two year period alone, and I am confident Norwex’s Antibac Mitt will last much longer. Not to mention the fact that I feel good not to throw the disposable refills in the garage and eventually a landfill.

Norwex Mop Starter Package: Based on my rough estimates a Norwex Mop System would save you between $73.24 and $86.24 over a two-year period. I am also quite confident the mop would last longer than two years and over a period of time, these savings would grow.

Norwex Dryer Balls: At about .07 cents a dryer sheet, assuming you do one load of laundry per day, using the dryer sheets will cost you $24.96 for a year. Or $49.92 for two years. The dryer balls will save you $29.93 over a two-year period.

Norwex Laundry Solution: As mentioned in my post regarding laundry detergent, in using a magnet ball you will significantly reduce your laundry detergent. The initial cost of magnet ball: $29.99. The cost per load with the Norwex Detergent and a Magnet Ball: between .17 and .20 cents a load.

Assuming 365 loads a year, the first year using the Norwex products will cost between $92.04 and 102.99 a year. Over a 2-year period using the Norwex Detergent and Magnet Ball will cost between $154.09 and $175.99 for two years worth of clothes washing.

Liquid Tide will cost $109.50 for one-year or $219, over a 2-year period. Therefore, the Norwex Laundry Solution (Detergent plus Magnet Ball) will save you between $43.01 and $64.91 over a two-year period.
