Switch to Zero Waste Vegan Dental Floss

Conventional dental floss is often made with nylon (plastic) that is bad for the planet and not good to be in your mouth either. Most brands are also sold in plastic pots.

Georganic Dental Floss (use CODE AWIN15 for 15% discount) is free from beeswax or silk, and made with corn or bamboo fibre (gentle on your gums). At end of use, just compost it, right down to the packaging.

The quality fibres mean that the floss glides easily between teeth, without shredding. And won’t break, even if sliding between close teeth.

Avoid this brand’s gum if you live with pets, as it contains xylitol.

Never use brands of toothpaste, gum or mouthwash sweetened with xylitol near pets (if they lick leftovers from around your mouth or sink, it could be fatal – there should be pack warnings). 

As floss often escapes filters and can wash away from landfills, cut into small pieces and wrap securely in a container before disposal.
