Mouthwash Tablets: Sustainable Freshness for Your Smile

You love to smile, right? And if you are like most people, clean teeth and fresh breath encourage you to smile more often. We can help you show off your pearly whites more often with a range of products that include environmentally friendly mouthwash tablets.

Of course, you can pair EcoFam mouthwash tablets with our toothpaste tablets and compostable toothbrushes. But for this post, we want to focus only on the mouthwash aspect. Let us talk about what mouthwash tablets are, what makes them sustainable, and why they are a better choice than traditional mouthwash.

The Basics

Let us start with the basics. Mouthwash tablets are an innovative and zero-waste alternative to liquid mouthwash. As you know, liquid mouthwash is packaged in bottles and sold at grocery stores and pharmacies. You put a little in your mouth, swish it around, and spit it out. You are left with a cleaner mouth and fresher breath.

Mouthwash tablets accomplish the same thing. But instead of being in liquid form, they are small, compact pieces of concentrated ingredients that dissolve in water. You only need 10-15 ml of water to do the trick. Here's how you use them:

1. Drop a tablet into a glass with water.
2. Wait until the tablet completely dissolves.
3. Swish the liquid around in your mouth for 30-60 seconds.
4. Spit it out into the sink.

From the standpoint of actual use, the only difference between mouthwash tablets and liquid mouthwash is having to wait a short time while a tablet dissolves in water. Other than that, the process is identical.

Why Switching Is Worth It

We think leaving behind liquid mouthwash in favor of EcoFam mouthwash tablets is well worth it. For starters, mouthwash tablets are pretty convenient. Consider the following:

• They are portable and travel friendly.
• They take up less space in the medicine cabinet.
• All you need is a little bit of water to freshen your breath virtually anywhere.

How convenient is it to keep a bottle of liquid mouthwash at work? How safe is it to pack liquid mouthwash in your suitcase when traveling on a plane? The fact is that mouthwash tablets are just more convenient to use.

Environmental Benefits

While convenience is pretty attractive, we think the environmental benefits of switching are even more important. EcoFam mouthwash tablets are an integral part of a zero-waste oral care regimen for the following reasons:

• Plastic Waste – Mouthwash tablets eliminate the need for plastic bottles. Fewer plastic bottles mean less plastic waste.

• Better Packaging – Zero-waste brands are committed to better packaging. We package our mouthwash tablets in compostable or recyclable packaging.

• Emissions – Because mouthwash tablets are compact, they can be shipped in larger volumes. This results in fewer emissions related to transportation.

Shipping weight and volume are reduced when water is taken out of the equation. That means a manufacturer can get more product on the same truck without having to use more fuel. Less fuel is burned to get more product to its destination. That's a good thing.

No Loss of Freshness

As we close, we want you to know that you won't sacrifice any freshness by switching to mouthwash tablets. Your mouth will be just as clean and your breath just as fresh. Mouthwash in tablet form does the same job. We simply eliminate the water and let you add it back in when you're ready.

We like to think of mouthwash tablets as sustainable freshness for your smile. If you like to smile, and we hope you do, why not make your smile more sustainable by adopting a zero-waste oral care program that includes mouthwash tablets?
