Bamboo charcoal is strips of bamboo burned in a pressurized kiln. It has high filtration and absorption properties, making it ideal for eliminating odors and absorbing impurities in the air. One of the many uses for bamboo charcoal is placing it in your closet to protect clothing and shoes.
Instructions
1. Buy bamboo charcoal. You can find it at most Chinese or Japanese markets. If you don't have one available to you, order it online from websites such as 3DhealthStore.com (See Resources section).
2. Place a piece of bamboo charcoal on a shelf in your closet. Depending on the size of your closet, you may want to put several pieces throughout the closet. With its ability to regulate humidity, bamboo charcoal will keep your clothing dry and free of mold.
3. Set a few pieces of bamboo charcoal near your shoes. Not only will the regulated humidity keep your shoes in top condition, bamboo charcoal's ability to absorb odors will keep your shoes from smelling unpleasant.
4. Use a piece of bamboo charcoal next to any clothing that needs deodorizing. For example, you can freshen up a jacket exposed to cigarette smoke just by placing it near the bamboo charcoal.
5. Replace your bamboo charcoal every 4 to 6 months to keep your clothes looking and smelling their best.
