Bamboo Toothbrush - Brush with Bamboo

• How to Take Care of Your Bamboo Toothbrush:
  Bamboo is a natural material that keeps best when kept in a dry area. Enclosed toothbrush cups that collect water are not ideal. It’s best to keep your toothbrush in an open-air toothbrush holder or any other dry area.
   
• Before First Use:
  As with any toothbrush, please thoroughly rinse the toothbrush handle and bristles with water before first use. This especially important with bamboo toothbrushes as compared to plastic toothbrushes. There may be some bamboo dust that remains on the toothbrush head and handle after manufacturing. This is harmless but needs to be washed off. You can wash and care for our soft plant-based bristles just like a conventional toothbrush.
   
• Your Bamboo Handle:
  Bamboo is natural woody material that will fade over time. The bamboo on the top portion of your toothbrush that goes in your mouth may begin to appear lighter and faded with use. This is normal! It will not affect your brushing experience.
   
• How Long Do Bamboo Toothbrushes Last?:
  Your bamboo toothbrushes will last 3 to 4 months. With proper care, our ecological bamboo toothbrush will last just as long as a conventional plastic toothbrush. The American Dental Association recommends replacing your toothbrush every 3 months, or when the bristles have frayed.
   
• How Do I Clean My Bamboo Toothbrush?:
  The two main things you need to do to clean your bamboo toothbrush: wash it thoroughly, dry it thoroughly, store it in a clean container or holder and you’ll have a higher success rate at keeping your toothbrush in the best condition possible for longer.

Ultimately, bamboo toothbrushes are good for the environment and our health. They help reduce plastic pollution and help us avoid potential plastic contamination in our bodies. 

But not every bamboo toothbrush is made equal, so it’s important to know if you’re supporting an ethical company that’s harvesting bamboo sustainably. These are  – all of their bamboo is harvested from FSC certified well-managed forests and they utilize Moso bamboo which pandas do not eat. Pandas also do not inhabit the area they harvest from. 

The bristles are also not made out of plastic like conventional toothbrush bristles are. They use 100% biodegradable castor bean oil to produce theirs and that means you don’t have to worry about any plastic microfibers shedding in your mouth while you brush your teeth.
