Bamboo is a material that will keep best when stored dry, which is why enclosed toothbrush cups that may collect water are not recommended. We recommend that you keep your toothbrush in a open-air toothbrush holder or other dry area.

Rinse and care for your Humble Brush just as you would with a conventional toothbrush.

Bamboo is a natural material that will change appearance over time. Your handle is made from bamboo, which is a natural material and the top portion of the bamboo which goes into your mouth may appear lighter and faded over time. This is normal and will not affect your brushing experience. Please reuse or compost the handle!

The toothbrush handle will safely return to the soil within 6 months in a commercial or private composting bin. The handle can also be reused in your garden or in any other creative way.

The bristles and handle should be disassembled for proper disposal. Use a pair of pliers to remove the bristles from the head of the toothbrush. Doing so will remove a small metal staple that is used to clamp the bristles to the handle. Once the natural bamboo handle is free of bristles, it can either be disposed of in a composting bin or be reused. The bristles are very small and curbside recycling may not work. We recommend that you dispose of the bristles in your usual household waste or contact your local recycling facility to see if there’s a solution for recycling the bristles.
