You Don’t Need to Change Everything. Just Start Here.
Living more sustainably doesn't have to mean a total lifestyle overhaul. In fact, the most powerful changes often begin with the smallest daily habits — like brushing your teeth or taking a shower. Two simple swaps — eco dental floss and a luffa for the shower — are easy to make, surprisingly effective, and help reduce plastic waste where it often gets overlooked.
🦷 Why Switch to Eco Dental Floss?
Most conventional floss is made from nylon or Teflon (PTFE) — plastics that can take hundreds of years to break down. Plus, it's often coated in synthetic wax and packaged in plastic containers. It’s a tiny item with a surprisingly large environmental footprint.
Eco dental floss, on the other hand, is:
- Made from natural fibres like corn silk or bamboo charcoal
- Coated in candelilla or vegan wax
- Packaged plastic-free, often in reusable glass or cardboard containers
These flosses glide just as smoothly, clean effectively between teeth, and are compostable in many cases. They're also often refillable, meaning less waste with every purchase.

🚿 The Natural Upgrade: Luffa for the Shower
What’s hanging in your shower right now? If it’s a plastic sponge or synthetic scrubber, it might be time for a rethink.
A luffa for the shower (also spelled "loofah") is a plant-based body scrubber made from the fibrous interior of the luffa gourd. It’s completely natural, biodegradable, and an excellent way to gently exfoliate skin — minus the microplastics.
Benefits of using a luffa:
- Gently removes dead skin cells
- Promotes healthy circulation
- Fully compostable when it's time to replace
- Doesn’t harbour bacteria when dried properly between uses
Quick tip: Rinse your luffa well after each use and hang it somewhere it can dry completely — it’ll last longer and stay fresh.

💡 How These Swaps Add Up
Switching to eco dental floss and a luffa for the shower might feel small. But if every household in Australia made these two changes, the collective reduction in plastic waste would be massive.
Think about it:
- One plastic floss container saved every few months
- One plastic shower pouf replaced every 1–2 months
- Zero microplastics going down the drain
🌏 Real Change Starts in the Bathroom
Your morning and evening routines are opportunities. Opportunities to reduce waste, to choose natural over synthetic, and to support products that do better by the planet. So next time you restock your floss or shower essentials, consider the eco-friendly alternatives.
💚 It’s not about being perfect. It’s about doing better — one simple swap at a time.
