Product Information
Full details
PÄRLA Plastic Free Floss is designed for environmentally conscious individuals seeking a professional-grade dental hygiene solution that minimizes ecological impact. This dentist-formulated, fluoride-coated floss effectively removes plaque and strengthens enamel in tight spaces using plant-based, home-compostable fibers. While it offers superior cleaning and sustainability, users should note that the refillable glass container requires careful handling to prevent breakage in wet bathroom environments.

FAQs
Is this floss safe for sensitive gums?
Yes, the smooth glide design is gentle on gums, though we always recommend flossing with a light touch to avoid irritation.
How long does one spool last?
Each 30m pack is designed to provide a two-month supply based on standard daily usage.
Can I compost the floss at home?
Yes, the floss is made from 100% home-compostable plant fibers.
Is the packaging recyclable?
The glass jar and aluminum lid are endlessly recyclable, though we encourage reusing the jar with refills first.
Does the fluoride-coated floss replace mouthwash?
While the fluoride helps strengthen enamel, it is intended to complement your existing routine, not replace professional dental checkups or other hygiene habits.
Troubleshooting
Floss shreds during use
Ensure you are using a sawing motion rather than forcing the floss straight down, and check that you aren't catching the floss on a sharp edge of a filling or rough tooth surface.
Difficulty pulling floss from the jar
Check that the floss is threaded correctly through the metal dispenser slot and not caught under the rim of the aluminum lid.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your PÄRLA Floss, simply open the aluminum lid and pull the desired length of floss through the dispenser slot. Once the supply is depleted, purchase a PÄRLA refill and insert the new spool into the glass jar. To maintain hygiene, store the glass container in a dry area away from direct water splashes to ensure the aluminum lid remains rust-free. The floss itself should be disposed of in a home compost bin rather than the general waste stream to ensure it breaks down correctly.
