Why Bamboo is Better

In recent years, bamboo has grown in popularity as the eco-friendly material of choice. It’s soft, durable, and has really started to make a name for itself with sustainable clothing and cleaning brands as their first option. When looking at its impact on the environment and our households, it becomes pretty obvious that its popularity is justified. This wondrous material boasts many benefits that have impressed many brands and consumers, including the team here at Tea Trees Eco Ware. Find out what makes our bamboo cleaning cloths being the obvious choice for you and your household by learning everything there is to know about this awesome material.

It’s Better For the Planet

When it comes to sustainable kitchen cloths, bamboo was the clear choice for our brand. This material is a dream for any environmentally conscious person. Firstly, it’s an extremely durable plant and grows incredibly fast. Bamboo can sprout up several centimetres in a single day with little effort, meaning it can grow without the help of damaging pesticides that ruin biodiversity. The incredible growth rate also means it can be harvested without negatively impacting pandas and decimating forests. Unlike cotton, its popular counterpart, bamboo requires hardly any water or sunlight to thrive. Cotton requires thousands of litres of water for just one garment, resulting in resources becoming scarce and sea basins drying up.

Plastic waste is also significantly reduced when cleaning cloths are made from bamboo. Microfiber cloth may seem like an effective cleaning material, but they are also responsible for shedding a significant amount of microplastics into our environment. These tiny plastic particles may seem too small to make a difference, but they heavily contribute to plastic pollution, damaging our oceans and sea life more every year. Bamboo, however, is a 100% natural material and provides the same benefits as a microfiber cleaning cloth without contributing to environmental damage.

It’s Better For You

On top of being better for our planet, bamboo also has several amazing qualities that will positively impact our consumers as well. Bamboo is a naturally antibacterial and self-cleaning material that is scientifically proven to be odour resistant. These properties create a cleaning cloth that is tough on dirt, grease and stains while remaining soft enough to be scratch-resistant, making them perfect to use on several surfaces. Our bamboo kitchen cloths have an excellent capacity to absorb liquids, making cleaning up any spills and wiping down surfaces easier than ever. They also have an amazing drying capacity, meaning they’re highly unlikely to harbour any unwanted bacteria. Unlike other washable kitchen cloths, bamboo cloths don’t stay damp for long enough for any nasty bacteria to thrive, keeping your home safe and hygienic no matter how often they’re used.

These cloths are also extremely cost-effective. Bamboo is an incredibly durable material, and our cleaning cloths can maintain their shape and quality for well over a year if they are properly cared for. Each cloth can be washed up to 300 times before they begin to wear out, making them a much more sensible investment than cotton cloths or disposable paper towels. Our bamboo cleaning cloths cost roughly the same amount as ten paper towel rolls. This means that they could pay for themselves several times over within their first year.

Rewashing Means Recycling

Have you ever wondered what happens to our paper towels once we’re done with them? Most people know that cotton cloths end up in landfills, but they’re surprised to learn that paper towels will end up in there right alongside them. Contrary to popular belief, paper towels are rarely recyclable, making them destined for landfills where they will break down and release harmful levels of Co2 into the atmosphere. On top of that, they are an incredibly unsustainable cleaning method. According to the Paperless Project, to make one tonne of paper towels, 17 trees need to be cut down and over 75,000 litres of water must be used. These paper towels make up 245 million tonnes of the planet’s waste every year. According to Statista, Australians are expected to use 22kg of tissue and hygiene paper per person in 2022 alone. Cutting out paper towel usage and switching to a reusable, eco-friendly alternative can greatly minimise this number.
