By now, you are familiar with Ever Bamboo and our Bamboo charcoal products. We have been touting the power of this game changer for over 10 years and counting! But as we promised in our last blog post - we are dedicating this post to understanding what this powerhouse product actually does, how it does it, and why it has become so popular.
Bamboo Charcoal is rapidly gaining popularity as a natural deodorizer and dehumidifier, thanks to its impressive sustainability and remarkable effectiveness. Derived from the fast-growing bamboo plant, bamboo charcoal is an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic products. Its porous structure, created through a high-temperature carbonization process, gives it an exceptional ability to absorb moisture and odors from the environment. This makes it an ideal choice for maintaining a fresh and dry atmosphere in homes, cars, closets, trash bins, smelly gym bags, stinky sports gear, and even refrigerators!
The unique properties of bamboo charcoal stem from its high surface area and unique microporous structure, which allows it to trap unwanted particles, toxins, and excess moisture. This not only helps in neutralizing odors but also reduces humidity levels, creating a healthier indoor climate. As a natural product, bamboo charcoal is free from harmful chemicals and safe for use around children and pets. Its versatility and effectiveness make it a smart addition to any eco-conscious household looking to enhance air quality while embracing sustainable living.
Its natural antibacterial qualities make it a popular choice in household products like air purifiers, deodorizers, and even skincare items. Additionally, bamboo charcoal is used in cooking and food storage, where its ability to absorb moisture and odors enhances the freshness of fruits, vegetables, and even meats. This multifunctionality extends to wellness, where bamboo charcoal is incorporated into supplements and health products, promoting detoxification and even improved digestive health.
Bamboo charcoal has impressive versatility and eco-friendly properties. Unlike traditional hardwoods, which can take decades to regenerate, bamboo's quick growth cycle allows for a sustainable harvest that minimizes deforestation and encourages replanting. This fast renewal rate makes bamboo charcoal not only an environmentally friendly choice but also a renewable resource that helps combat climate change.
By choosing bamboo charcoal products, consumers not only benefit from its powerful properties but also contribute to a more sustainable future. Embracing this natural resource is a simple yet impactful way to support eco-friendly practices while enjoying the many advantages that bamboo charcoal has to offer.

To celebrate motherhood is a wonderful thing. After all - what would this world be without them! But a mother is so much more than just a woman who gives life. She is many things to many people - and most often - it is the little details in the things she does that makes ‘mothers’ and ‘motherhood’ so special.
We recently came across a piece of content called “women carrying things”. It was a visually moving portrait of ALL the things that women carry in day to day life. Quite obviously, this goes well beyond the physical and often refers to the emotional weight of carrying beloved duties and worries in a way only mothers can. They carry hope for their children in a world of chaos and uncertainty. They carry groceries to prepare the meals from the store to the car to the kitchen. They carry loads - loads of laundry, loads of schedules, loads of chores and bills. They seemingly perform miracles under pressure and come through at the last moment just when all hope was lost.
They are emergency numbers, and phone tree branches. They are soccer moms and hockey moms. They are dance moms and pet moms. They are girlfriends and daughters and sisters and cousins. They are doctors and lawyers and teachers and scientists. They are here. They are there. Somehow - they can be everywhere at once. And in ways we often take for granted or forget to notice.
And let's not forget the incredible bonus mothers, step mothers, and bonus grandmothers! Sometimes - family is chosen. And that too is a beautiful thing! A mother’s love comes in all forms… and every single one is so needed, wanted and appreciated!
So in short we just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to all the moms out there doing the work of angels. It can be at times, a thankless job and full of redundant tasks that often go unnoticed. But we see you. Out there being the change, raising the kids, holding down the jobs, creating the art, forging the paths and making a difference by bettering this world with your love, devotion and hard work.
The world is a better place because of the love of mothers.
And we at Team E.B. Thank you.
To celebrate YOU - Use code 15OFF_MAY2024 and treat yourself or a mother you love to 15% off all our deodorizer and dehumidifier products. Valid until May 20, 2024.

Once again we find ourselves celebrating EARTH DAY. But what does that really mean to us, and our planet? What are the lengths we are willing to go to, to preserve and protect it from human inhabitants - who by far - seem to do it the most harm.
This is not an easy topic to navigate, as not everyone believes that global warming and climate change is real. But here at Ever Bamboo - we believe that kindness to the planet, and doing our share to mitigate a big carbon footprint - is a growing part of our responsibility as human beings. Attempting to do so however, can be so overwhelming that sometimes folks feel powerless in how best to navigate these challenges. So we thought we would start right here where we are - at Ever Bamboo - and share a few things about our products that can help you make a better choice.
REDUCING WASTE:
This one simple thing can have such a huge impact on sustainable living. Simply reducing the amount of products we use (especially ones that contain toxins, scents and chemicals) can drastically reduce waste and harmful substances that pollute the air. Ever Bamboo charcoal pouches are made of ONE ingredient. Bamboo!
Bamboo is one of the most rapidly growing plants in the world, some species grow up to 3 feet in a single 24 hour period. And did you know that harvesting bamboo actually stimulates its growth? Well it's true. The more you harvest it, the faster it grows - making it an incredible renewable resource!
REUSE:
One of the reasons Ever Bamboo is so earth friendly is that our bamboo charcoal pouches can be used and reused for up to a year. By simply placing the pouch outside in direct sunlight for 2 hours on each side once a month - the pouches are reusable for up to a year! No need to grab a new pouch each time there is a stink! By simply caring for the pouches in this manner, they will continue fighting must and odor for up to 12 months! Pretty cool, right?
RECYCLING:
This alone can be so powerful. After a full year of use (reducing and reusing) Ever Bamboo Pouches can be cut open so that the charcoal granules can be released right into your garden or terrarium to regulate moisture in the soil! It's honestly like the gift that just keeps on giving. And we feel good knowing a one time purchase goes on to have so much use!
There are so many simple things we can do in our everyday life to care for our planet. We can choose glass over disposable plastic. We can invest in cloth napkins and diapers and do away with paper and plastic. We can mindfully choose renewable energy sources such as solar power and windmill power. And we can choose to forgo fast fashion for vintage or gently worn/used clothes to greatly reduce landfills. We can use recycled paper, fabrics, boxes and waste. We can even buy in bulk! ALL of this contributes to a lesser footprint in our everyday living. And all of it contributes to a healthier planet and happier humans, plants, and animals.
Pollution and waste have a ripple effect. Plastics in our water supply disrupt the circle of life in the ocean. Cutting down and burning through the amazon forests disturbs micro climates and the animal and plant life that ultimately depends upon them. But if we as individuals do even one thing from the suggestions above - the collective effect will be substantial.
To celebrate the little things we CAN do - use the 15% discount code EARTHDAY_2024 to stock up on all our deodorizer and dehumidifier products. Valid until May 6, 2024.
Here’s to a long healthy life for us, and the planet!
Happy Earth Day from Team E.B.

Hello and Happy Spring Ever Bamboo’ers! Like us here at Ever Bamboo - you are probably wondering how it is possible that we are officially in the spring season. Wasn’t it just New Years? The way time is passing almost has us in a tailspin!!!
But now that spring has officially sprung, and we have saved the daylight once again - it’s a great time to remind you to reactivate, reuse or recycle your bamboo charcoal pouches.
Did you know that just 2 hours of direct outdoor sunlight on each side of your bamboo charcoal pouch reactivates the odour absorbing and moisture regulating properties of the charcoal granules? It's TRUE! This is one of the best things about Ever Bamboo products. They are reusable for up to a full year!
If they have been in use for a year or more - it may be time to cut open the pouch and release the charcoal granules into your garden or terrarium to regulate the moisture in the soil.
Now why would you do this when you can just light a candle or use an air freshener plug or spray? Because when you know better, you do better!
Oftentimes, candles and sprays are made with toxic chemicals that mask odours without eliminating them. The beauty of bamboo charcoal is that it literally pulls odour causing moisture from the air - thus eliminating the accompanying stink!
We get so many emails from our happy customers that love to tell us how placing a pouch in stinky shoes, the garbage bin, a ripe gym bag, or a musty closet literally eliminated the odours that they previously could not get rid of! And you know what? We never get tired of hearing this because it just reaffirms what we have known for years. Ever Bamboo Works!
So as you ready your home, and your life for all things spring (and yes that includes those stinky spring sports bags and kicks) make sure that you have reactivated, recycled or re-stocked your Ever Bamboo Charcoal Pouches.
To say thank you for ringing in a new spring season with us, use the 15% off discount code SPRING2024 for a fresh bouquet of savings! Valid on all our deodorizer and dehumidifier products until April 8, 2024.
Have a happy, stink free spring!

Bamboo is a rapidly growing grass mostly known for its versatility and environmentally friendly properties. In addition to this, products made with bamboo are incredibly strong and durable. By making sure it is responsibly sourced and produced ethically - utilizing bamboo products is a great addition to greener living. But in case you need a few tips and suggestions, here are some of our favorite bamboo products, and why we love them.
Bamboo Charcoal:
Bamboo charcoal is naturally porous and pulls moisture and odor from the surrounding air. Unlike the harsh scents and toxic chemicals found in candles and sprays meant to ‘mask’ odors, bamboo charcoal products actually eliminate must and odor naturally, and offer a safer, non toxic alternative to life’s stinky stuff.
Bamboo Furniture:
Let's just say this. Bamboo is so strong, it will cut through concrete if it is grown near it. That is why here and abroad, furniture, and even homes are sustainably built from bamboo. It is one of the strongest materials in nature, and because it grows so rapidly, it is considered a renewable resource.
Clothing and Bedding:
Bamboo fiber is breathable, moisture wicking, soft and hypoallergenic. So whether you love it in your sportswear due to its antibacterial properties, or your bedding to keep you cool and comfy - bamboo has you covered. Literally.
Utensils, straws and toothbrushes:
Durable. Lightweight. Eco-friendly. Reusable. Biodegradable - do we need to say more?
We didn’t think so. So eat up! (then brush your teeth!)
It is clear that by incorporating bamboo products into a sustainable lifestyle, you are doing yourself, and the planet, a world of good! Not only are you contributing to environmental conservation and a smaller carbon footprint, you are utilizing a renewable resource that has so many practical uses and benefits - you may just forget it’s grass!
To celebrate the beginning of a new year - use code NY2024_10OFF for 10% off on all our deodorizer and dehumidifier products, valid until February 5, 2024.
Happy Bambooing!

Twas the night before Christmas and all were tucked in
Snug in their blankets and close to their kin.
Weary from travel, damp from the snow
Suddenly a stink popped into their nose.
What could it be that has caused this dismay?
Surely that stink can’t be just from today!
But alas they realized those damp socks and shoes
Were making it hard to enjoy a warm snooze!
Up from the bed they arose with a clatter
And thought, “Ever Bamboo can take care of this matter”!
So into their boots they popped a pouch
Of our shoe and boot deodorizers to fix that nose ouch.
Feeling assured they crawled back to bed
As visions of sugar plums danced in their heads.
When the morning light seeped into the room
All they could smell was CHRISTMAS in bloom.
And what to their wondering nose became clear?
The stink was gone - it had just disappeared!
Like a Christmas miracle. No Odor! No must!
Now In Ever Bamboo they would always trust.
No stink in the garbage, no laundry room blues.
No must in the closet, no smell in their shoes!
No smelly travel bags, no stinky pets.
Declaring “Ever Bamboo is as good as it gets!”
So our Christmas story comes to a close
With a happy ending and a happy nose!
Our Ever Bamboo Family wishes for you -
A Merry Christmas, No more ‘Stinkmas’, and Happy New Year too!
Thank you all for another wonderful year.
Of making Ever Bamboo your choice for fresher air!
To say thank you, use code 20DEC_23 to enjoy a 20% discount on all our deodorizer and dehumidifiers, valid until January 1, 2024.
Have a Merry, Stink free Christmas!

The world feels heavy right now. There is no way around it.
We are being pummeled with heartbreaking headlines and stories of despair - and if you are a feeling and compassionate human, it really starts to take a toll.
As we make plans to gather with our loved ones or chosen family, we may want to consider the magnitude of this one simple thing that not everyone will be able to do this year - Be together.
The truth is that we have seen first hand how quickly life can change - and when you realize this - the things we take for granted suddenly become more important than we ever could have imagined. The magnitude of this gratitude then sparks more gratitude. Suddenly you are paying attention to everything that feels like a blessing, and celebrating it. Some refer to this as the spirit of gratitude - and this is what we are choosing to focus on and celebrate this year at Ever Bamboo.
With that spirit, we want to take a moment to thank you - our valued customers - for being part of our Ever Bamboo family, and for taking steps toward a more sustainable, less toxic planet by using our Ever Bamboo Products. That is no small thing - and by doing so - it is clear that you have taken our tagline “Rethink The Stink” to heart, and made a cleaner, safer choice for you, your home, and your family!
We feel lucky that what we contribute to the world is reusable, reduces waste and harmful toxic chemicals, and is recyclable once the bamboo charcoal pouch has done its job.
By reactivating the pouches under direct, outdoor sunlight on each side for 2 hours each month - the pouches are like new again. If you care for them by doing this every month or two - the pouches stay activated for up to 1 year! Once that year is up, you can recycle the charcoal granules right into your garden or home terrarium where they will regulate moisture in your soil.
A Full circle of sustainability. For that we are grateful:) And for YOU we are grateful.
We hope that during this holiday season, you are able to take stock of your blessings - big and small - and bask in the joy of the simple things that we often overlook in the hustle and bustle of daily life.
We wish you a Happy, Stink Free Thanksgiving full of love, light and gratitude.
Team EB
PS:
Well here we are again poised to bring Spooky Season to a (pumpkin) head on October 31st. This fun and festive time of year officially marks the beginning of the 2023 Holiday Season, and we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate with you.
First things first, is it time to reactivate your Ever Bamboo Charcoal Pouches? After a long, hot, rainy, humid summer - those pouches are probably ready to be dried out and reactivated so they can go on fighting stink for another few months.
So while the daylight is still abundant, get those pouches into the sun! Just two hours of direct outdoor sunlight on each side of your pouch will reactivate the charcoal granules so that the pouch continues to fight odor and must - and all of your stinky shoes, bags, rooms, bins and closets won’t stand a chance. Isn’t that bewitching?
Once you have recharged the pouches, it’s time to put them into the new places where the more seasonal stinks begin to take hold. This time of year, things like gym bags, hockey bags, lockers, and dorm rooms most likely will be succumbing to just a little extra dampness and must. The result? STINK!
Just pop a pouch where the odor is, and pouf! It will ghost you.
Another wonderful way to use Ever Bamboo Charcoal pouches is to stick them where your pets spend the most time. After all, a day of rustling through damp leaves can make Spot’s stink a little more - well - Spotty! And no one wants to cuddle up to a stinky Spot:)
And last but not least - The kitchen! Yes this is the time of year where the cauldrons heat up and warm cozy meals replace the BBQ and we watch our leftovers become leftODORS. So pop a pouch in the fridge, the freezer, and the kitchen trash bin to be sure that your favorite fall scents aren’t shrouded by the ghoulish scent of stink! Trick? Or Treat! - maybe a little of both!
And to celebrate - use code Halloween_10OFF for 10% off all deodorizers and dehumidifiers, valid until November 6, 2023.
Happy Happy, Stink Free Spooky Season from Team E.B
