FAQs
Are the RADIUS EcoFlex floss picks truly compostable?
Yes, the floss picks are designed to be home compostable. Please note that the reusable handle is not compostable and should be kept and reused.
What is the floss made of?
The floss is made from a combination of silk and cotton, coated in chemical-free plant wax. It is a USDA Certified Biobased Product (100%).
How often should I replace the floss picks?
You should replace the floss pick after each use, as is standard practice for flossing for hygiene reasons. Dispose of the used pick in your home compost.
Is the handle included with the floss picks?
No, the RADIUS EcoFlex floss picks are designed to be used with a reusable RADIUS ergonomic handle, which is typically sold separately.
What does 'PFAS Free' mean for my oral health?
PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are chemicals that can be found in some products. Choosing a PFAS-free floss means you are avoiding potential exposure to these substances during your oral care routine.
How does the 'Dual Action' floss work?
The Dual Action floss combines silky smooth floss for easy gliding with reinforced ribbing for added strength and a more effective cleaning surface to remove plaque.
Where are these products made?
The products are proudly manufactured in the USA with a focus on sustainable, home-grown manufacturing.
Troubleshooting
Floss pick does not snap securely into the handle.
Ensure the floss pick is aligned correctly with the handle's slot. Apply firm, even pressure until it clicks into place. Check the handle and pick for any debris that might be obstructing the connection.
Floss feels weak or snaps during use.
Ensure you are using the correct RADIUS EcoFlex floss picks designed for the handle. The reinforced ribbing should provide ample strength; if it still snaps, try a gentler technique, ensuring not to force the floss between teeth.
Difficulty reaching certain areas.
The ergonomic handle is designed for improved reach. Experiment with different angles and the thumb grip to find the most comfortable and effective way to navigate all tooth surfaces.
Handle becomes difficult to clean.
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the handle. For stubborn residue, a small brush (like a toothbrush) can help clean crevices. Always rinse and dry thoroughly.
