Includes 12 x Bamboo Toothbrushes

A bamboo toothbrush is a great eco-swap that has the potential to save hundreds of plastic toothbrushes from ending up in landfills. Whereas plastic toothbrushes still exist hundreds of years from now, bamboo can be easily burnt or composted at home.
Available in Adult and Child sizes.
A Soft Bristled Bamboo Toothbrush
These toothbrushes have soft bristles as recommended by dentists. The bristles have tapered tips allowing the brush to get between your teeth and under the gum line easily.
How To Dispose Of Your Bamboo Toothbrushes
Bamboo toothbrushes from Go Bamboo can be composted at home. Simply pull out the bristles using a pair of pliers, and then throw the handle into your compost bin and let nature do the rest. The bamboo handles can also be burnt in your fire.
Important: Please do NOT put the bristles into your compost bin or fire. These are plastic and need to go into a landfill bin.
Can I Get A Toothbrush With Eco Friendly Bristles?
No. There is currently no eco alternative to plastic bristles that work as effectively as nylon bristles do. We are still researching various options.
Do Bamboo Toothbrushes Go Mouldy?
Yes they can, but there is a way to avoid it.
When the bottom of your toothbrush sits in a puddle of water all day, day after day, it can begin to grow mould. To prevent your bamboo toothbrush from going mouldy, ensure they are able to fully dry between uses.
How?
Don't use a cup to store your toothbrush between uses. Instead let your brush sit across the top of the cup. Or use a toothbrush holder like this one. We stock them here at Reuseful.
