K.B. Lee, founder of Ever Bamboo, wants you to "Rethink the Stink." "It’s a habit to reach for a spray, perfumed plug-in or candle, but that is not always a healthy, smart solution for our families, pets and homes," K.B. explains. "Many air fresheners don’t list their ingredients and are filled with harmful chemicals, which pollute the air and harm our bodies." At Ever Bamboo, consumers can find an all-natural alternative. "There is a big difference in those two solutions, and creating awareness in our product creates a new choice for the consumer," says K.B. "Rethink the Stink" is about more than finding a solution for masking an unpleasant smell - it's also about how we think about smell.

Ever Bamboo deodorizers and dehumidifiers are sustainable, reusable, and totally recyclable.  All of the products are made from moso bamboo, which can grow two feet or more in a single day, reaching a height of 60 feet in just two to three months. "With Ever Bamboo's single all-natural ingredient of bamboo charcoal, you’re helping to keep our planet green while keeping your air clean," K.B. says helpfully.

Bamboo charcoal actually eliminates odours and freshens the air, rather than just masking it. It is a porous, all-natural filtering substance that doesn’t use chemicals like conventional deodorizers and air fresheners. According to K.B.,  bamboo charcoal has a surface area that is 10 times bigger than that of regular charcoal. "Its porous structure makes it a very effective deodorizer and dehumidifier. It’s also lightweight, making it easy to carry around in your gym bag or hockey bag,” says K.B. “Ever Bamboo is also reusable. It lasts up to one year by reactivating it under direct sunlight every two or three months. After that, the bamboo charcoal granules can be composted and used for gardening.” He is proud of having brought bamboo charcoal to North America, especially since Asia has been enjoying its benefits for more than five centuries.
