Stainless Steel Straws for Sale
In an effort to become more environmentally responsible i went in search of an alternative to plastic straws. With the help of some friends and family we have been able to come up with a way to manufacture them....and at a lower price than anywhere i have been able to find online. I should have something available within the next couple weeks in different sizes and lengths. I will update when i have the exact sizing and pictures. The straws will be done in a mirror finish, food grade stainless steel. You will have the option of bent, or straight.
Please let me know if you are interested.

Thanks! Shipping sure is crazy, you don't have any discount codes by chance do you? Do they clean okay? That is my only concern.

I'm curious as to how well they clean as well. I was thinking of getting some for our home and now one of our extended family members is experiencing problems swallowing and using plastic straws all the time - I thought this would be a great little gift for them
can anyone comment on the cleanning aspect

I was told you just need to soak them in very hot water for 15 minutes, then rinse with cool water.

I haven't got them yet, just ordered a few days ago. I want more, so if anyone else is interested, we could go in on the shipping.
