Ahhh, September! Now depending on your perspective, September either fills you with autumnal excitement and anticipation, or leaves you wistfully longing for the lazy dog days of summer. The latter of course, would be coming from the youthful bright eyed hope of the future, while the former has parents everywhere doing the ‘back to school’ happy dance. What is for certain is that no matter which sentiment you take, STINK inevitably awaits in lunch boxes, gym bags, school lockers and heaps of dirty sports clothes. And THAT is nothing to cheer about!
Rah rah sis boom BLAH!
Much to our surprise, the mysterious and unidentified spills in lunch bags often leave behind pesky odours (hello Ever Bamboo Fridge & Freezer pouches!) And let’s not even get started on the STINK of team spirit. Those laundry baskets and gym bags cry foul after every game, and there are no extra points for stinky damp sneakers and shoes! Summer surf is replaced by football turf, and often your locker finds itself doing overtime in between washings! (Ever Bamboo Sports pack anyone?) I suppose you don’t need a play by play, but it’s safe to say that Ever Bamboo will even the score!
So relax. We’ve got this.
Ever Bamboo charcoal pouches are safe and effective for every stink under the sun, (and even the ones stuffed in a locker that may never see the light of day!)
Our deodorizing and dehumidifying bamboo charcoal pouches eliminate dampness and odour, and doesn’t mask them with nasty chemicals and toxins often found in sprays and plug-ins. Not only are they made of one natural ingredient (Bamboo Charcoal), they are safe to be around food, people and pets! And the best part? Just a few hours of direct outdoor sunlight on each side every two months of use reactivates the pouch, allowing them to “bamboozle’ must and odour for a full year. In fact, by the time you start thinking of your summer garden, the pouches can be cut open to release the granules into your gardening soil (or houseplants and terrariums) and go on to regulate moisture in the soil for stronger, healthier plants.
So while your kids are hitting the books, kicking the balls, and lugging around the sneakers and skates, you can be kicking odour and must to the curb! Now that is a game changer, wouldn’t you say?
Rethink. Reuse. Recycle. Easy as 1, 2, 3 for a win all year long!
Have a happy, stink free day!

There are many things we take great pride in at Ever Bamboo. We love that Ever Bamboo charcoal pouches are safe, non toxic, and contain only one ingredient. We adore the fact that a single pouch lasts for up to a year when proper care is taken to recharge it every 2-3 months in direct sunlight on each side. But the thing we love the most is that after a full year of extraordinary stink stupefying and humidity heroics, the bamboo charcoal granules that make up each pouch go on to their very own version of (gasp!) “the afterlife” in your gardening soil or house plants!
The millions of tiny porous holes in that are naturally occurring in the bamboo charcoal granules deter pests and absorb excessive moisture in the soil (especially ideal for delicate plants such as orchids). In turn, if the soil becomes too dry, the charcoal will discharge its own moisture and help maintain the very delicate balance of life in the garden or terrarium. So even if you lack a ‘green thumb’, you now have a green ally to get the job done!
At Ever Bamboo, we believe when you know better, you do better. Making wiser choices for you and your family, pets and home has never been easier. And just knowing that you are no longer contributing an empty can of toxic ingredients to a landfill somewhere is enough to make you feel like a green super hero! (Or as we like to call him, the stink BAMBOOZLER!)

WHAT WONDROUS THINGS YOU CAN DO.
Oh the summer sun.
On July 1st, we Canadians are celebrating 150 years of Canada Day. And on July 4th, proud Americans everywhere are coming to together for 241 years of Independence Day. It is to be sure, a month of remarkable anniversaries. And you know what else should be reminded of it’s anniversary? Your Ever Bamboo Charcoal Pouches! And summer sunshine makes that easy to do.
Now this seems fitting because as we all know, stink has a strong game in the summer months. Quite frankly, this is the perfect setting for Ever Bamboo to do its thing by eliminating odours and must, and keeping the fresh air fresh! We probably don’t have to tell you that dampness and humidity are par for the course in your golf bag, beach bag or car. Not to mention those wet swimsuits that often sit for hours long forgotten. Or the unattended cooler that starts to smell like wet dog! (don’t worry, we have a pouch for pooch too!)
But 2 months after our little bamboo charcoal granules go to work, your pouches need a refresh! And the perfect way to do that? Glorious summer SUNLIGHT. Just take your Ever Bamboo Charcoal pouches outside for 2-3 hours of direct sunlight on each side, and they recharge, reactivate and reboot! (Well, perhaps we save the topic of boots for another blog :)
How is that for weathering the summer stink storms!
What is better than a non-toxic, chemical free, unscented, all natural, one ingredient odour and must eliminator that requires nothing more than SUNSHINE to keep it working hard for up to ONE YEAR? Um, nothing! (ok, ok, maybe we are a little biased at Ever Bamboo:)
We will stop boasting now, and let you get on with whatever it is that the July summer sunshine finds you celebrating this year. Make it fun. Make it safe. And make it stink free!
Wishing you endless summer fun and sun, Team EB
In this day and age, nearly every single one of us are now recycling something, somewhere!
Plastic. Cardboard. Metal. Tin. Glass. THERE’S A BIN FOR THAT! The question is, what are the benefits beyond the bin?
Let’s face it. The Earth deserves more than just a day. It deserves a LIFETIME.
And it is up to us to make sure that happens.
Here at Ever Bamboo, EVERY day is Earth Day!
Never, more so than NOW, has this been of the utmost importance. The crusade on climate change is in the forefront and in need of everyday warriors to fight it’s cause. The conscious consumer in all of us is coming to understand that what we put into our air and water has a direct impact not only on our personal health, but on the health of our beautiful Planet Earth.
We seek ‘natural’ and ‘green’ alternatives to everything from carbon footprints to carbon emissions. And when it comes to life’s stinky stuff, Ever Bamboo has 3 ways to help you do just that! We call them The Three ‘R's of Ever Bamboo! Rethink, Reuse and Recycle.
ReTHINK
How do you think about stink? Probably the same way we all used to. We have been conditioned to reach for a big name candle or spray that ‘masks’ rather than ‘eliminates’ odours. But these options are often laden with toxic chemicals and artificial scents, that over time, are simply not good for us or the environment. But now there is an alternative. A new way to ‘think’ about stink! A way that makes for happier, healthier humans, homes and pets! And it is one simple ingredient called Bamboo Charcoal.
Sourced from China’s rapidly growing moso bamboo, the use of Bamboo Charcoal has grown exponentially in North America over the past 10 years, and we see no signs of stopping. The porous nature of bamboo charcoal is one of nature’s little miracles. The millions of tiny holes pull, then neutralize, odours and moisture from the air. Because the odour is eliminated, the need for masking with artificial scents becomes unnecessary. Just you and pure, clean air. Sounds lovely, right?
These days, bamboo charcoal is flexing its extraordinary little muscle in everything from soaps, shampoos and face masks to terrariums and garden soil! In fact did you know that in Japan, Burger King has added bamboo charcoal to its cheeseburger? Talk about having it your way!
ReUSE
With no toxic chemicals or scents, Bamboo Charcoal makes getting rid of stink and moisture an easy, fuss free task. One ingredient. One pouch. And one simple way to make each Ever Bamboo charcoal pouch last up to ONE FULL YEAR! (show me a candle or a spray that can do THAT!) Just three hours of direct outdoor sunlight on each side, and the pouch is completely reactivated and ready to reuse for another 2 to 3 months. This process can be repeated for a full year of stink free bliss.
ReCYCLE
And here is the best part. After one year of use the pouch can be cut open to release the bamboo charcoal granules into your house plants, terrariums, or gardens. Here, the granules will go on to regulate moisture in the soil for stronger, healthier plants and flowers!
Guess how Ever Bamboo is ringing in Feb 2017? With a 10 year anniversary!
That’s right, we are celebrating 10 years of stink free bliss at Ever Bamboo. Our Bamboo Charcoal pouches are revolutionizing how we conscious consumers ‘think’ about STINK, and from the looks of how we’ve grown, we couldn’t be happier to report that you are indeed thinking differently, and making better choices for your home and family.
Of the many exciting things that have happened over the last ten years , some of our favourites include when Whoopi Goldberg featured Ever Bamboo as one of her ‘favourite things’ on The View, and a huge shout out from Tory Johnson and Ginger Zee while Ever Bamboo was featured on Good Morning America. We think there is a LOT to celebrate, so we have decided to kick off our 10 year anniversary with the TOP TEN LIST of reasons why EVER BAMBOO is the best choice for fighting stink naturally. We encourage you to share, and ENJOY!
So, there it is. 10 BIG REASONS to celebrate 10 BIG YEARS. Thank you for all the love and support you have given Ever Bamboo. As we move forward into the next 10 years with new products and more ways to #RethinkTheStink, we hope you will continue on our journey with us! Your momentum, excitement and TRUST in our brand is what we value most as Ever Bamboo continues to make the world a little less stinky one odour at a time. 😁

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house
our noses were crinkled by less than fine smells.
Our kitchens, a medley of leftover stinks
from over stuffed trash cans and dishes in sinks.
Visiting family and friends stopping by
leaving damp boots and socks by the fire to dry.
Our snow loving pets nestled up damp and tired
but that wet dog stink leaves us less than inspired.
The joys of the season seemed somewhat subdued
by those pesky odours so subtly accrued.
When what to our suffering noses appear
but a million porous holes in a tiny black sphere.
It’s the PERFECT companion to your holiday feasts
placed in the fridge preventing leftover beasts.
Place those good lumps of coal in our stockings with care
and eliminate stink and purify air!
But alas, there is more to Ever Bamboo
there are detoxifying beauty products too!
Scrub yourself clean with our HEI bamboo charcoal soap
pamper yourself with spa packs and hope.
Then pat yourself dry with a cozy bamboo towel
our soft bamboo sheets keep you cool as an owl.
Oh Bamboo Charcoal Santa, your treats bring us joy
for must and odour, it’s our favorite toy!
So fill up the stockings with pouches galore
have a stink free new year with this miraculous ore!
Now our holidays stay filled with stink free elation
as we send must and odour on winter vacation.
Ever Bamboo in all of its glory
brings a happy ending to a stink-free Christmas Story!
Merry Christmas from Team Ever Bamboo!

While most of us would describe stuffing as the undeniably delicious side kick of the beloved, traditional Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner, those of us who plan and prepare it may tend to think of stuffing as a verb. Specifically, the one we have come to use when referencing the incredible capacity of our refrigerators and freezers to adapt to, and accommodate, the often brimming delights of our pre and post holiday meal preparations.
While the splendid cornucopia of stove top fixins come to life, their myriad scents fill the air with what we would imagine the table of an idyllic Norman Rockwell holiday painting would smell like. The big stink inside of your refrigerator however, calls to mind more of a ‘who put the dirty socks in the fridge ‘kind of Edvard Munch ‘scream’! (Holiday Art Lessons 101!)
While care is taken to assert leftovers are well cared for to maintain their gobble worthy freshness, something as simple as torn tinfoil on the gravy bowl, or some shrunken ‘shrink wrap’ that eventually slips off the turkey can give way to one heck of a foul stink!
The secret to happy leftovers? Ever Bamboo Refrigerator and Freezer bamboo charcoal pouches. Just pop them into the back of your fridge or freezer during the holiday season, and let the wild rumpus start!
The millions of hard working porous granules of bamboo charcoal in every pouch will keep your nose from crinkling and your tummy from shrinking:) Like turkey and stuffing, and Apple Pie and Ice Cream, we introduce a much needed holiday duo worthy of becoming a new tradition.You and Ever Bamboo! It is the perfect mash of Thanks and Giving. You are now free to jump on the gravy boat and paddle your way into tryptophan bliss.
You devour the Leftovers. Ever Bamboo will devour the Leftodors. Now THAT is something to be grateful for!
Eat. Gobble. Repeat.
Happy Thanksgiving from Ever Bamboo!
One of our favorite things about October, and the arrival of the Autumnal months in general, is the continual influx of the delightful scents of pumpkin - spice- cinnamon - apple EVERYTHING!! It is a feast for the senses that we look forward to year after year after year...
All of sudden it happens. Upon entering your usual ‘haunt’ for your morning coffee, you realize the change has occurred. You look up on the chalkboard and there it is, but you didn’t have to see it to know it was there. The scent of the glorious pumpkin spice latte wafts through the air so decadently you can almost taste it before it even hits your lips. Adding to your bliss, the pastry counter now boasts maple scones and cinnamon buns and pumpkin muffins. The ground is ablaze in orange and red as you listen to the sound of leaves crunch beneath your feet. The mild scent of fireplaces and freshly baked apple pies fill the air of the neighborhood and you finally know Fall has arrived.
Often, we are so taken by the season that we sometimes miss the other-worldly, not so pleasant ghosts of odours past that are determined to make their entities known as well. You know, the gym bags and smelly sports shoes left by the door. The spooky leftovers that have been left to the after-life in the fridge. The apple skins and pumpkin carvings that sit in the trash bin one day too long. Left unattended, all of these wicked odours can combine to make your home a HOUSE of HORROR-ble smells!!!!
Three of our favorite things happen in the fall. Autumnal colors. Pumpkin Spice everything. And the excitement of back to school shenanigans.
Yes, it’s that time of year again. Parents everywhere secretly rejoicing as school supplies and dorm room fixin’s pile into the cart for the grand send off! Campuses come alive with the buzz and bustle of this mass exodus of aspiring minds, go getters, and record breaking pizza eaters all eagerly settling in for a new year of higher learning (and an unexplainable contempt for keeping up with their laundry!)
The soon to be unfresh air of the mysterious, often unidentifiable dorm room funk slowly begins to seep down hallways and nestle into closets like a pair of old (smelly) slippers. Come on kids, you know the drill. These are text-book facts! Laundry piles sit for days while basking in pleasantries such as wet towels, damp gym clothes and week old pizza boxes. And alas, when aspiring academics finally decide to pick up the room a bit, this act generally consists of stuffing the dirty clothes into the same space where the nice clean ones once resided. Next thing ya know, STINK has gotcha by the drawers! Hampers become havens for must and odour. And suddenly everything smells like rotten eggs. Sound familiar? Quite frankly, our fine young scholars could use a crash course in Stink 101. But since you will be hard pressed to find one on the syllabus, we proudly present Ever Bamboo - Bamboo Charcoal Pouches for the easy A.
By placing our Ever Bamboo charcoal pouches in your closet, hamper, lockers, gym bags and drawers, No one will ever suspect that you haven’t laid eyes on the laundry room in days. Mom will not have to use surgical gloves and a face mask to wrangle the often unwelcome weekend visit home from your laundry basket, you know, the one that smells like a pile of stinky kicks!
After all, must and odour are two R’ewwww’m-mates that no one willingly invites to the party, but sometimes they show up uninvited and your nose suddenly knows...it is time to ace this annoyance. So to our brilliant young collegiates everywhere, why not let Ever Bamboo help you pass with flying colors? We guarantee you will graduate top of the class in Stink 101. #rethinkthestink
