Instructions, etc. 

Davids Natural Toothpaste: Squeeze onto your toothbrush and clean away to your heart’s content!

Use Dental Lace floss as you would any other floss. Break off about 18 to 24 inches of dental floss and wind most of the floss around both of your middle fingers, leaving about 1 to 2 inches of floss between for your teeth. Hold the floss taut with your thumbs and index fingers. Place the dental floss in between two teeth and glide the floss up and down, rubbing it against both sides of each tooth and being careful of your gums. Repeat the steps as you move from tooth to tooth. With each tooth, use a new, clean section of floss by winding the floss around one hand and unwinding with the other.

What to do when you’re done

Davids Natural Toothpaste: Fortunately for you, the package is 100% recyclable. Once you’ve squeezed out as much as you can, please follow the steps below and congratulations on protecting the planet while keeping your teeth as healthy as possible:

1. Take some scissors or shears and cut off both ends of the tube.
2. Cut a slit the full length of the tube to fold open the tube
3. Wash off the excess paste with running water
4. Discard metal in recycle bin.

The Humble Co. Toothbrush: When it can no longer be used, please compost or reuse the bamboo handle. The handle will return to the soil within 6 months in a commercial or private composting bin.

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. The bristles are very small and curbside recycling may not work; please dispose of the bristles in your household waste.

The floss container is meant to be refilled and reused with Dental Lace Refills. Compost the used floss. The packaging can be recycled.
