How to care for your bamboo toothbrush?

Unlike plastic toothbrushes, bamboo toothbrushes actually require care. A plastic toothbrush doesn't require any care - it's plastic. You just unpack the plastic toothbrush (throw it away), use it for a few months and then throw it away. Using a plastic toothbrush correctly is less stressful; you'd be wrong. Plastic toothbrushes are not as biodegradable as bamboo toothbrushes. In fact, plastic takes 300-500 years to degrade. Last but not least, they will turn to microplastics; small pieces of plastic that pollute the environment.

You don't want your home to be covered in small amounts of plastic pollution, do you? Switching to a bamboo toothbrush is the most environmentally friendly option you'll ever make. Using them is easy: just compost the pack, use a bamboo toothbrush for a few months, and compost the toothbrush. How to take care of your bamboo toothbrush during these months? We'll show you how.

Tips for Caring for Your Bamboo Toothbrush

Bamboo toothbrushes are sustainable and biodegradable. Not only are they environmentally friendly; they also have a long shelf life. Here are some simple tips to help you care for your bamboo toothbrush for longer shelf life.

1. Keep your bamboo toothbrush dry

Because plastic toothbrushes are impenetrable, little care is required. Bamboo toothbrushes, on the other hand, require more care. The main problem with bamboo toothbrushes is that mold can grow on the bottom. Users always find it difficult to remove mold from bamboo toothbrushes. To avoid this, make sure your brushes stay dry throughout use. By doing this, you can ensure that your toothbrush stays in better shape during use.

Don't panic if your bamboo toothbrush discolors over time. A new bamboo toothbrush is balsa wood. The handle darkens after daily use. This is completely normal for organic materials. If anything, it means your toothbrush is in good condition - you've taken good care of it.

2. Reuse or compost

You can also upgrade or compost your bamboo toothbrush. Before you compost your worn-out toothbrush, you can reuse it. You can turn your old bamboo toothbrush into a cleaning tool for scrubbing stains from toilets and clothes. You can also use it as a plant marker in your backyard garden.

3. Recycling packaging

One of the great things about our bamboo toothbrushes is the compostable packaging. Unfortunately, some stores sell bamboo toothbrushes in plastic wrap - it's best to avoid these. A good bamboo toothbrush should be packaged in a cardboard outer layer and a compostable inner liner. The outer cardboard is fully compostable and recyclable. The lining can also be composted. You can also give it to a compost collection business that composts on a commercial scale.

The point is that you should compost your parcels. If you don't need compost, just throw the package in the recycling bin. No worries; the outer cardboard box is made of 100% paper and is fully biodegradable.

If you need to replace an old and used one, you can buy or buy our bamboo toothbrushes in adult and child sizes online.
