OK, I’ve spent three months brushing my teeth with a WooBamboo toothbrush,
Now What?!
Well, first, you replace your toothbrush with a NEW WooBamboo toothbrush!
Now it’s time to do some cool stuff with your used bamboo toothbrush starting with the bristles. Your bristles are made of recyclable material – Recycle Them!!
Step 1: Go find your tweezers or (better yet) a pair of pliers. We’ll wait til you come back…..
Ok, good, you’re back.
Step 2: So you don’t lose the bristles, get something plastic that you are going to recycle already and put the bristles in there! It’ll keep them confined.
Step 3: Pull the bristles from your toothbrush by grabbing just a few at a time with your tweezers or more with pliers. Once the process starts, it gets easier!
Welcome to Your Multi-Use Bamboo Handle!
Green Thumb?
Our favorite thing to suggest to plant enthusiasts is to use the handle as a growth guide for new plants! Set it vertically in the soil next to a plant and watch the plant grow tall as the bamboo staff helps keep the plant from drooping over! Since the bamboo is all-natural, it won’t cause harm to the roots!
Crafty?
- Drill a hole in one end, add keys and never lose a set of keys again!
- Drill a few holes across and hang some cool things for a small wind chime
- Make a toilet paper, yarn, thread spool or tape dispenser by fastening the handle to a bamboo (preferred) or wooden disk acting as the base
