Product Information

Full details

This natural dental floss from Georganics is designed for environmentally conscious individuals seeking a plastic-free alternative for their oral hygiene routine. Its key benefit is effectively removing plaque and food debris using compostable silk infused with antiseptic peppermint oil, promoting gum health and leaving your mouth feeling fresh. A minor caveat is that the floss is relatively thin, which may require adjustment for those accustomed to thicker flosses.

FAQs

Is this floss suitable for sensitive gums?

Yes, the Ahimsa silk and vegetable wax coating make it gentle for most users. The peppermint oil has antiseptic properties that can aid in gum healing. However, if you have extreme sensitivities, monitor your reaction.

How do I refill the glass dispenser?

Simply unscrew the lid, remove the empty spool (if applicable), thread the end of the new floss through the lid's hole, and screw the lid back onto the dispenser.

What does 'Ahimsa silk' mean?

Ahimsa silk, also known as peace silk, is produced without harming the silkworm. The moths are allowed to hatch from their cocoons before the silk is harvested.

Can I compost the floss at home?

Yes, the corn-base PLA floss is designed to be compostable. You can add it to your home compost bin.

How long does one spool of floss typically last?

With daily use, a 30m spool should last approximately 1-2 months, depending on individual usage habits.

What are the ingredients in the vegetable wax?

The product information indicates 'Vegetable Wax*' which is plant-derived. Specific sources may vary but are typically plant-based waxes.

Is the packaging recyclable?

The glass dispenser and steel lid are reusable. The cardboard box is recyclable. The inner PLA bag for the floss is compostable.

Troubleshooting

Floss breaks easily

Ensure you are not applying excessive force. Gently guide the floss between teeth. If the issue persists, check if the floss is getting caught on rough dental work.

Dispenser lid is difficult to open/close

Ensure the threads on the glass and lid are clean and free from debris. A gentle twist should suffice. If it feels stuck, try running the lid under warm water briefly.

Peppermint scent/taste is too strong

This is a natural product; the intensity of the essential oil may vary slightly. Try using a shorter length of floss or rinse your mouth with water after flossing.

Floss does not glide smoothly

Ensure the vegetable wax coating is intact. If the floss appears dry, ensure it has been stored correctly. Consider trying a refill spool if the current one is old.
