FAQs
How often should I replace my Truthbrush?
It is recommended to replace your Truthbrush every three months, or sooner if the bristles become frayed, in line with general dental advice for optimal hygiene and effectiveness.
Are the bristles really plant-based?
Yes, the bristles are made from 100% castor oil, which is a plant-derived material.
What makes the bamboo sustainable?
Bamboo is a fast-growing grass that requires minimal water and no pesticides to grow, making it a highly renewable and eco-friendly alternative to plastic.
How does the plant oil finish help?
The plant oil finish is applied to the bamboo handle to provide a smooth feel and enhance its natural water resistance, helping to protect the bamboo.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Yes, the Truthbrush comes in fully recyclable packaging, further minimizing its environmental impact.
What does 'B-Corp certified' mean?
B-Corp certification signifies that Truthbrush meets rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. It is a legal designation that requires the company to consider the impact of its decisions on its workers, customers, suppliers, community, and the environment.
Does Truthbrush contribute to environmental causes?
Yes, Truthbrush is proud to be a member of 1% for the Planet, donating 1% of their total sales to environmental non-profits.
Troubleshooting
Bristles are splaying outwards quickly
Ensure the toothbrush is being thoroughly dried after each use. Store it upright in a dry, ventilated area. Over-vigorous brushing can also contribute to premature bristle splay.
Bamboo handle appears discolored or feels rough
This may indicate prolonged exposure to moisture. Ensure the brush is dried completely between uses. If the finish is affected, allow it to dry fully; the plant oil finish provides some water resistance, but bamboo is porous.
Toothbrush feels slightly sticky
This could be residue from toothpaste or the plant oil finish. Rinse thoroughly with water. Ensure the brush is drying properly in a well-ventilated area.
