◆ Traditional Principles Applied in the Detergent
In old Japan, ash was mixed with water to produce ash liquor (aku), which was then used for laundry. Leveraging the wisdom of 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 overgrown 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
When synthetic detergents and other household wastewater are discharged into rivers, microorganisms gradually decompose the organic matter into inorganic substances over several days. If the volume of wastewater exceeds this process’s capacity, river pollution can worsen. Bamboo Clear, 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 napkins seeking gentle detergents
- People wanting a detergent that won’t fade plant dyes
- Those who want to wash everything from everyday clothes to fashionable wear with one product
- Individuals who prefer environmentally friendly products for daily use
