There is nothing worse than going to put on a fresh, clean article of clothing from your armoire or drawer, and instead, being hit with a not so nice musty odour. Often, despite the fresh smelling laundry detergent we use, or the sweet smelling sachets we line our dressers with, a musty drawer can render our efforts useless. Alas, we have the perfect solution. Ever Bamboo Drawer Packets!
By placing a pouch in each of your drawers, the Ever Bamboo Drawer Packets pull any moisture and odours from the drawers in your chests or armoires, leaving only the fresh smell of your sachets and clothing. Made from one single ingredient - bamboo charcoal granules - the pouches are safe, effective and will never harm clothes or leave a lingering, toxic scent behind. Ever Bamboo charcoal pouches don’t mask odours, they eliminate them!
There are a few other clever ways that these small sized packets keep moisture and odour at bay for easy, everyday use around our homes and apartments.
The bed: The rising popularity of memory foam mattresses, and mattress toppers, have many of us enjoying an extra cushy night of sleep. But if you live in a humid environment, chances are good that sweat or body moisture can get absorbed and trapped under the foam and cause dampness to lead to musty odours, or even mold. Simply sticking a few of these thin, small packets under the corners and center will help keep this at bay.
Kitchen cabinets and drawers: It would not be unusual for drawers in your kitchen to experience trapped cooking or food odours such as stinky produce, or fish. So why not keep your utensil drawers and dish cabinets fresh by popping a packet in the corner of each. Easy peasy!
The Couch: Sometimes, fabric is a stink trap. Perfect Example? The couch. Again, the slim size of our Drawer Packets allows for easy, undetected insert under cushions where they forge an attack on dampness and odours that often besiege where our loved ones and pets enjoy sitting.
So as you can see, the practical uses of Ever Bamboo Drawer Packets offer a small sized solution to big sized stinks. We hope this helps you keep life’s stinky stuff a little fresher.
Send us a photo and tell us how YOU like to put our drawer packets to use. Follow us on Instagram @everbamboo and use the hashtag #RethinkTheStink. We want to hear from you!
Have a happy, stink free day!

POP A POUCH!
(IN THE TOP FIVE SNEAKY STINKS OF SUMMER):
Well by now, we are all in the groove of the lazy, hazy, crazy (and often STINKY) days of summer. Whether it’s beachy seaside bliss, Adirondack lake-side lounging, or long hot days in the countryside sipping lemonade, chances are good that the dampness and humidity of the beloved summer months have by now, found their way into just about everything.
Enter Ever Bamboo. Our bamboo charcoal pouches are well equipped to take on the moisture and odour of all things “stink”, and you may be surprised how quickly they pop up. We’ve compiled a few of our sneakiest summer stinks, and their Ever Bamboo counterpart that will put the freshness back into your ‘fresh’ summer air! It’s so incredibly simple and easy. Just POP A POUCH IN WHERE THE STINK IS!
The damp kicks.
Everyone knows that in the summer, we often skip the formality of socks, and chose to go barefoot into the shoes and sandals of our choice. And while your feet may feel free, your kicks are confined to stink prison! Ever Bamboo shoe inserts to the rescue. Pop a pouch in each shoe and wella. In about 24 hours you will notice the dampness and odour, and the stink itself, gone!
The stinky sports bag.
Yes yes yes! We are ALL too familiar with that very unpleasant stench that sneaks up on us after even just one day of forgetting to remove your sweaty clothes after that long tennis game or workout. Well, once again, Ever Bamboo sports kit or travel size pouches arrive for the save. Just #PopAPouch in the bag and KEEP IT THERE. We promise that the dampness and moisture causing the stink will have met its match. Game over!
The stinky trash bin.
All those delicious melons must shed their skins, and the trimming of fresh meat and fish of the summer clambakes or BBQ, can leave your trash smelling, well TRASHY! Guess what! #PopAPouch of Ever Bamboo bin pouches into the can and watch the evidence of the day dissipate into to thin (FRESH) air. Summer can smell sweet after all!
The stinky suitcase or beach bag.
So, it’s time to hit the road and head out on your summer adventures. But what if it’s days between laundry? What if you don’t have the opportunity to air out your beach bag while on vacation? Well, pop a travel pack in your beach bag, or at the bottom of your suitcase and travel on fair warrior. You will have, in this manner, slayed the stink! So, #PopAPouch.
The humidity in your wooden instruments.
No summer would be complete without sitting around a campfire singing songs and strumming guitars, banjos, and the occasional ukulele! But you must protect them from the fierce effects of summer humidity, which often warp and swell your wooden instruments. We recommend popping a pouch in the body and case of the instrument to keep moisture at bay, and alas the ‘harmony’ in your music will stay alive and well!
So there you have it. The most effective and safe way to deal with the sneaky stinks of summer! Remember, as our illustration above shows, bamboo charcoal is the only ingredient in our Ever Bamboo charcoal pouches. There are no harsh chemicals like those found in leading sprays and candles, and are completely safe for people and pets! The porous nature of bamboo charcoal pulls moisture and humidity in from the air keeping stink out of the equation. The pouches last up to a year with proper care (of 2-3 hours of direct outdoor sunlight on each side, every month) and can then be cut open to recycle the charcoal granules into your houseplants or gardening soil where they go on to regulate moisture. A win for the planet. A win for sustainability. A win for your stink free summer!

Hello Everyone and Happy Summer!
As school wraps up for the year, and the long awaited summer holiday begins, we excitedly step into the season of damp swimsuits, musty coolers, stinky kicks and excess humidity! Now we think you should be able to enjoy these summer delights without the foul odours that often put a damper on our fun. And apparently, so do you!
One of the things that has always been of the utmost importance to us here at Ever Bamboo, is YOU, our valued customers, and your overall satisfaction with our products. Now sure, we can tell you a million times about how incredibly AWESOME our bamboo charcoal pouches are for removing must and odour, and the moisture that comes with it. And yes, we can go on and on about how wonderful it is to use an all natural, one ingredient (bamboo charcoal) product that actually eliminates, not masks, the unpleasant stinks that affect our belongings, homes and pets.
And you betcha’ we will proudly tout the ease and affordability of a product that is reusable for up to a full year by simply recharging the pouch with 2 hours of direct outdoor sunlight on each side. And of course we will brag about the fact that the pouches are easily recycled by releasing the charcoal granules into your house-plants, terrariums, or gardens where they go on to regulate moisture in the soil.
Rest assured that we will repeatedly remind you how wonderful it is for the environment to be able to ‘rethink’ how you deal with ‘stink’ by using a sustainable, reusable, recyclable product with zero toxic chemicals or harsh perfumes. OR, we can just hand the reins of this month’s blog over to an actual, real life, satisfied customer - who just happens to manage a store for one of our favorite retailers in Canada - Burnaby’s Running Room.
We hope you enjoy this wonderful video from Jessica, a one time skeptic, who is now a believer in all things Ever Bamboo, whose life (and stinky running sneakers) were forever changed for the better after her very first use.
PS: We strongly encourage you to put us to the test too. We promise to pass with flying colors!
Have a happy stink free summer!
Stay cool, and dry,

Hint: It’s NOT what you think!
Well it’s that time of the year again. Spring beckons! From the peeping up of crocuses, to the over-saturation of St. Patty’s Day decor and all its shenanigans, GREEN and LUCK are the much celebrated themes of March.
Now for many, the most festive March holiday by far would have to be St. Patty’s Day.
Even if you don’t celebrate the saint himself, you certainly partake in the symbolism of the day.
We know St. Patty has his shamrock, which is said to bring luck and good fortune to all. And culturally, we have come to look forward to the festive pints of green beer, Leprechaun hats, and corned beef & green cabbage.
But can we just acknowledge for a moment that ‘Green and Lucky’ applies to more than this beloved Irish Saint and his four leaf clover?
Time to discover the household joys of LUCKY BAMBOO!
If you enjoy our products and follow our blog, you know that moso bamboo is what we use to make our Ever Bamboo Charcoal Pouches to deodorize and dehumidify all the sneaky places where stink lives. But today, in honor of the very green and lucky month of March, we wanted to celebrate OUR favourite charm - Lucky Bamboo.
In Chinese culture, Lucky Bamboo is seen as a symbol of virtue. It is said to reflect the inner landscape of people's souls and emotions, and is often looked upon as a token of traditional Chinese values. Considered a small but thoughtful gift said to bestow good fortune upon special life events, the nature of bamboo’s ‘luck’ is measured in stalks.
For example, a plant of two stalks would be the perfect little housewarming gift for newlyweds to bring love and luck to the marriage. A plant of three stalks bestows happiness, and is the most popular by far. But four stalks? Good luck (no pun) even finding it, as it is believed by some to draw negative energy and is rarely ever given! So be sure to take STALK of your offering ;)
Another wonderful thing about Lucky Bamboo is it’s important role in Feng Shui.
Feng (wind) Shui (water) — is the ancient Chinese practice of placement of structures and things to enhance the flow of chi (life force or spiritual energy), and create harmonious environments that support happiness, health, abundance and peace. In the Lucky Bamboo plant, the five elements of Feng Shui are all present (or symbolically represented) in each plant.
This beautiful plant is a simple, yet beautiful way, to incorporate and elevate the good juju in your home or work space, while bringing harmony and luck to those who receive it. So eat your heart out St. Patty! We’ve got this one covered.
Have a happy stink free day,
Team Ever Bamboo & our very LUCKY Bamboozler.

With gratitude, we lay the foundation for kindness, compassion, and grace. We know that without it, we gain nothing, and with it, we find abundance in everything. We give. We receive. We repeat. By doing so, we come to know joy and fullness in a way that nothing else can give us.
There is a special day to celebrate this beautiful word. Thanksgiving! And with the holiday season fast upon us, this is the time of year we all take a little extra time to count the many blessings we have to be truly thankful for. A cozy table of food and drink surrounded by loved ones and pets. New memories in the making and old ones served up with warmth and sentiment. The sound of crackling fireplaces burning, and the wafting delights of pies in the oven. The musty smell of old winter wear and musty mothball smelling sweaters and hats…. …..Wait. WHAT? Hold up! We must-a misunderstood.
Who invited odour and must to the party!?
No one. But it’s going to make itself right at home this time of year. You need help, and to the rescue comes Ever Bamboo Charcoal Pouches.
Whether it is the overstuffed fridge turning your leftovers into left-odours, the musty closets and drawers, or the damp shoes and boots piled up in the mudroom, Ever Bamboo charcoal pouches are at the ready to fight back and keep your holiday season smelling the luscious way it should.
With one ingredient and zero toxic chemicals, Ever Bamboo is the clear choice for those who wish to #RethinkTheStink.
Why? Because we have a funny feeling you are not grateful for the fake scents that often overwhelm us as they mask, rather than eliminate odours. We are also pretty sure you would not be grateful for the many harsh chemicals found in scented candles and sprays. And we are all but certain that what you would be grateful for is a reusable, recyclable product with one natural ingredient (bamboo charcoal) that is always safe for pets, people, and all that yummy turkey and trimmings.
WIth a single pouch, odours and must are pulled from the air by the billions of tiny porous holes that occur naturally in bamboo charcoal, leaving nothing but the scent of LIFE as it should be, not as stink makes it!
We think that is something to be truly grateful for. And to show OUR gratitude to you, we want to give you some stink free holiday savings.
With BlackFriday right around the corner, now is the time to think about putting a little coal in your loved one’s stockings. Bamboo CharCOAL that is!
Enjoy the savings below, and have a truly happy, stink free Thanksgiving.
