Rinse Thoroughly After Use
After brushing, rinse the bristles and handle under warm running water to remove any leftover toothpaste or debris. This step prevents residue buildup that can encourage mold growth.
Store Horizontally and Allow to Air-Dry
Place your toothbrush horizontally on a holder or cup so the bristles can dry fully. It is very important to shake excess water off or wipe dry the toothbrush with a towel.
Keep Away from Excessive Moisture
To avoid mould from growing on the handle of the bamboo toothbrush, store it openly that allow it to breathe.Avoid storing it in closed containers or drawers where moisture can get trapped.
Avoid Prolonged Contact with Water
Don’t leave your bamboo toothbrush sitting in water for long periods. Standing water will soak into the bamboo and increase the likelihood of mold.
Replace Regularly
As with any toothbrush, replace your bamboo toothbrush every 2–3 months or when the bristles begin to fray. If you notice any cracks or dark spots on the handle, it may be time for a new one.
DO NOT sit your bamboo toothbrush in the water as the dampness will encourage mould growing.
Bamboo is a type of organic plant material that will biodegrade which is great for Mother Earth unlike plastic that will last for 200 years.
