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,
Team EB

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.

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!)
