We are talking about cleaning wipes, and not those kinds that are secretly laced with plastics and toxins. Compostable wipes, usually made from bamboo, offer a planet-safe and convenient way to keep your places sparkling clean, without sending the planet down the drain. And, if you are still trying to figure out the hype about bamboo eco-friendly cleaning wipes, we have it all covered for you. Read on to explore why choose bamboo over regular wipes, and how they are a better option for the planet and you. The Problem With Regular Cleaning Wipes Usually, cleaning wipes are meant to wipe surfaces, like mirrors, glasses, counters, shelves, windowsills, and more. And, while they can come in quite handy, especially if you prefer a quick and deep clean or something to wipe off the mess during long travels, they are not exactly a greener choice. To start with, regular disposable wipes come with hidden microplastics, which are usually leached in toxins, that can lead to germs intoxicating your surfaces. In short, they are not exactly "disinfectant." Moreover, because they are plastic-leaching wipes, they stay around for almost forever. With sustainability on the rise, the slower decomposing rate of plastic products is no new news. And, these plastic disposable wipes usually take over 100 years to even start breaking down. And, the worst part? For almost a century, these wipes have been left hanging around in our oceans, which are then ingested by marine life, who mistake them for food. Moreover, even after degrading part, plastic wipes release a long trail of microplastics, which enter our oceans or lands, and eventually our food chain. To make it shocking, an average human ingests a credit card worth of microplastic every week! Why Switch To Bamboo Compostable Wipes? The good thing about these bamboo disposable wipes is that they are plastic-free. With absolutely no plastic or trees, these wipes don't require non-renewable resources to be made. In fact, these eco-friendly wipes are made from bamboo, which is the fastest-growing plant (belonging to the grass species) on Earth. An average bamboo plant can grow up to 36 inches in just 24 hours, while an average tree takes over 30 years to grow the same length. The point is, bamboo is an abundant resource, given its fast growth rate and quick reharvesting properties. And, if you are looking for some additional benefits, well, bamboo is also naturally antibacterial and antifungal. Meaning, your cleaning process can finally be hygienic, without spraying that ragged cloth with a disinfectant every time you gotta wipe. Moreover, bamboo biodegradable cleaning wipes are also compostable. In fact, bamboo cleaning wipes, available at EcoSoul, are certified compostable. This means that these wipes are certified to break down into compost within just 90-180 days after disposal. So, unlike those nasty plastic wipes, that stay around forever and leave, microplastics behind, these wipes are here for only a short time. The wipes break down into compost, which is ultra-rich in nutrients and can be added to soil as manure. Where To Use Bamboo Cleaning Wipes?: The Wrap Up Now that you know why bamboo is better than plastic wipes, you can use these naturally antimicrobial compostable wipes on any surface you want. You can use them to clean your mirror or wipe off the kitchen shelves after a messy cooking experience. You can also use them to wipe off the dirt from a window sill or clean the windshield for an easy driving experience.
