Key features & specs

How it compares

Compared to metal or glass straws, Bamboo Drinking Straws offer a much warmer, natural mouthfeel and do not conduct heat, making them safer for hot beverages. Unlike paper straws, Brush with Bamboo products do not get soggy or collapse during use, ensuring a consistent drinking experience throughout the day.

How to use it

1. Rinse your bamboo straw with warm soapy water before the first use.
2. Use the included natural fiber brush to clean the interior after every use.
3. Allow the straw to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area to prevent moisture buildup.
4. For deep cleaning, boil in water with a dash of vinegar once a month.
5. Apply a drop of food-grade oil occasionally to maintain the bamboo's luster.
6. Compost the straw at the end of its life cycle (typically 12-18 months).
