....additional notes/thoughts
How to remove the bristles? If you use pliers you will find that each filament will come out quite easily. Remember these bristles are not biodegradable/will not decompose and must be disposed of separately
How to look after your toothbrush? The handle will darken naturally anyway with exposure to water but we recommend that you dry handle after use and store toothbrush upright
How to speed up the decomposing? Take a hammer to the handle ..the smaller the pieces the faster and easier it will degrade
