Ever Bamboo Presents: The Bamboo Charcoal Spring Deodorizing Guide

Best Practices for Maximum Effectiveness

Hello and happy SPRING!

For those of us living in a winter climate  - SPRINGTIME -  is the perfect time for a refresh after a long cold season. We start moving our heavier coats and boots into storage as we free up room for lighter spring wear! But our winter gear is not the only thing that needs a refresh this time of year. In fact after long months of stinky boots in the hallway, wet pets, gym bags that sit in the car too long and other sordid stinky stuff - it may be time for some brand new Bamboo Charcoal Pouches! And we’ve got you covered just in time for that dreaded Spring Clean!

Now once you have ordered your new Ever Bamboo Pouches - it’s important to know what to do with them so that you get the most out of them. So let us help you with some ideas for where to put them, how to use them, how to reactivate them, and how to use them even after the recommended 12 months.

Strategic Placement

• Shoes and Gym Bags: Place pouches inside athletic shoes, hiking boots, or gym bags after winter storage to eliminate musty odors
• Closets and Wardrobes: Hang pouches to absorb moisture and prevent musty smells as you transition seasonal clothing
• Refrigerator and Pantry: Use pouches to neutralize food odors that can accumulate during spring meal preparations
• Car Interior: Position pouches to absorb winter-trapped odors and stale air

Reactivation Techniques

• After one month of use - Expose pouches to direct sunlight for 2-3 hours on each side to "recharge" their odor-absorbing capabilities
• Gently pat or shake the pouches to redistribute the activated charcoal
• Replace pouches every 1-2 years, depending on usage and exposure

Specific Spring Problem Areas

• Basement and Garage: Use multiple pouches to combat dampness and musty smells after winter
• Mudroom Spaces: Place pouches near entryways to absorb wet shoe and outdoor gear odors
• Pet Areas: Use near pet beds or litter boxes to manage spring shedding and accumulated odors

Humidity Control

Bamboo charcoal has millions of naturally occurring porous holes that absorb excess moisture, which is particularly helpful during spring's potentially damp conditions. This helps prevent mold and mildew growth in potentially humid areas now, and all summer long as well.

Eco-Friendly Disposal

At the end of their lifecycle, you can:

• Empty charcoal pouches into garden soil as a natural soil amendment
• Use in compost bins
• Sprinkle around plants as a natural fertilizer

How Do Bamboo Charcoal Pouches Absorb Moisture And Odours?

Microscopic Structure

Bamboo charcoal is extraordinary due to its incredibly porous structure. When bamboo is burned at high temperatures (around 1,000°C) in a low-oxygen environment, it creates a complex network of microscopic pores. A single gram of bamboo charcoal can have a surface area of up to 600 square meters - equivalent to about three tennis courts - making it an extremely effective absorption medium.

Different pore sizes trap various types of molecules and moisture.

Adsorption Process

Unlike simple filtration, bamboo charcoal uses adsorption - where molecules actually stick to the surface of the charcoal:

• Odor molecules bind to the charcoal's surface 
• Moisture molecules are electrically attracted to the charcoal's charged surface
• This process effectively removes contaminants from air and surrounding environments

Moisture Management

• Bamboo charcoal can absorb up to 4-5 times its weight in moisture
• It regulates humidity by:
  • Absorbing excess moisture when humidity is high
  • Releasing small amounts of moisture when the environment becomes too dry
• This makes it particularly effective in spaces prone to dampness

Odor Neutralization

• Works differently from masking odors with fragrances
• Traps odor-causing molecules within its porous structure
• Effective against:
  • Organic odors (food, pets, mildew)
  • Chemical odors
  • Musty smells from dampness

Advantages Over Other Deodorizers

• 100% natural
• No chemical additives
• Environmentally friendly
• Reusable (can be "recharged" by sunlight)
• Works silently and continuously

Bamboo Charcoal is nature’s odor buster! Candles, sprays and gels can have harsh chemicals and hormone disrupting scents. Here at Ever Bamboo - our mission has always been to get our customers to #RethinkTheStink. Because we believe once you know better, you do better, and make safer, more effective decisions for yourself and your family & pets.
