How are bamboo straws made?

From bamboo stalks, we only get the parts that we need to make our straws. Then, local craftspeople let these stalks dry under the sun and cut, file, and sand them. After that, these straws are thoroughly washed and dried under the sun for days, which naturally disinfects them and gives them that golden sun-kissed look.

How do I clean bamboo straws?

We recommend rinsing the straws under the tap after every use, cleaning them inside with a straw cleaning brush, and letting them air dry. If you prefer, you can also shake them in a jar filled with warm soapy water. Every month, you can soak the straws in boiling water with vinegar for a few minutes.

Cleaning bamboo straws in dishwashers is fine, but it will affect their quality and lifespan.

Are bamboo straws reusable?

Yes! Bamboo is as durable as timber. That means these straws can be used over and over for years as long as they’re properly cared for.

How long do bamboo straws last?

With proper care and cleaning, bamboo straws can last for many years! If it's time to throw them away, you can cut them into pieces and toss them into your compost bin. They’ll go right back to the earth as organic compost.
