◆ Traditional Principles Applied in This Detergent
In old Japan, ash was mixed with water to create a lye (aku), which was then used for laundry. Leveraging the wisdom of our ancestors, this product was developed in collaboration with a bamboo charcoal kiln with over 50 years of history. It uses high-quality bamboo charcoal baked slowly over three days in a charcoal kiln, and 500 grams of ash extracted from only 2 tons of bamboo. Additionally, it uses mineral-rich spring water.
◆ Made from Environmentally Friendly Materials “Bamboo”
The bamboo used in this product is selectively harvested from abandoned bamboo groves in Yamaguchi Prefecture (Shunan City, Hofu City) as part of environmental maintenance. Bamboo reaches maturity in three years, so planned harvesting allows resource utilization without depletion, making it an eco-friendly material.
◆ An Environmentally Gentle Detergent
Unlike synthetic detergents, wastewater containing organic matter is naturally broken down by microorganisms in rivers over several days, turning into inorganic substances. Excessive discharge of such wastewater can lead to river pollution. BambooClear, containing only inorganic alkaline agents, does not require biodegradation, making it environmentally friendly.
◆ Recommended For:
- Those with sensitive skin who find it difficult to find suitable detergents
- People seeking a more affordable alternative to their favorite high-cost detergents
- Those looking for fragrance-free detergents without bleach or fragrances
- Users of cloth diapers or cloth menstrual pads seeking gentle detergents
- Those wanting a detergent that doesn’t cause color fading on plant-dyed fabrics
- Anyone who wants to wash everything from everyday clothes to fashionable wear with one product
- People who prefer environmentally friendly products for daily use
