What Do Mascara & Toothbrushes Have in Common?
May 13, 2011

Here in the Stimuli offices we think more about when to replace our tube of mascara than we do about when to replace our toothbrush. Did you know that the Canadian Dental Association recommends replacing your toothbrush every 3 months? Funny…that's the same recommendation as replacing your tube of mascara. While most of us don't like to think about bacteria sitting on the tools we use on our eyes and in our mouth, the fact is that it builds up over time and replacing them regularly is very important. BUT…even though toothbrushes and mascara tubes seem small, the fact is that they are contributing to mounting waste in our landfills. So, what can we do?
Here's a Clean Idea™… Ecobrushes and Ecoflossers. This brand new line of eco-friendly toothbrushes and flossers are made using sustainable crops like wheat, corn, potatoes and tapioca. This 100% compostable bio-resin will biodegrade in 180 days in a commercial compost facility. Even if they go into the regular trash bin and into the landfill, they will still turn into organic material over time. Finally…a product that is good for you and good for the environment.
Clean Idea™ products are available at London Drugs, Shopper's Drug Mart and online at Lavish & Lime.
