Reports of a strange trend have been making waves in certain online circles with a reported million Americans taking part.
Millions of Americans have started to scatter charcoal throughout their homes.
However, if it were just that, then this trend would not have made so many waves.
At the center of this trend is a special kind of charcoal.
There’s a specific kind of activated bamboo charcoal that has been seemingly breathing new life into homes.
The specially formulated charcoal has three unique properties that people are taking advantage of.
- It attracts and draws in airborne particulates like dust, allergens, mold spores, moisture, and smells.
- The tiny structure of the charcoal is like a net, so anything that gets sucked in is trapped.
- The charcoal has a natural ability to clean the air by passive filtering.
So what’s with this new life hack of “scattering charcoal throughout your house”?
Well here’s the thing, it’s not new at all!
This practice is actually one that can trace its roots hundreds of years ago. Buddhist monks would scatter activated bamboo charcoal around their monasteries to cleanse the air around them and get rid of any impurities and toxins floating around.
This practice is said to be a big reason why the average lifespan of monks was so much higher than the average person. But this practice died out.
Why?
Because the conditions required to create the special activated bamboo charcoal that monks used became rare and hard to get.
It’s never really been available for the masses until recently.
A company by the name of NatureFresh has managed to create a viable method to create the specially formulated activated bamboo charcoal at larger scales.
Each NatureFresh Air Purifying Bag contains enough activated bamboo charcoal to cleanse the air of any room up to 90 sqft and it lasts for 2 years.
It's so simple to use, all you have to do is place a NatureFresh bag in the desired area, and you'll start to notice a big difference in the air you breathe within 12 hours.
Using their “Cleancast Binchotan” method for the first time, NatureFresh is able to mimic the exact conditions required to create this ancient activated bamboo charcoal.
Since they’ve gone public with their product, millions of others have gotten in on the trend.
Thanks to their surging popularity, many Americans have discovered new ways to use it, declaring it the best life hack of 2022.
Here are just a few ways people are turning the NatureFresh bamboo activated charcoal bags into their own life hacks…
Life Hack #1: "It's like a mouse trap for mold toxins"
Tammy S, mother of two young kids from Los Angeles, had a big mold problem in her home.
"I didn't want my kids exposed to mold, and even after it was cleaned up, my kids were still getting headaches and coughing from the mold spores floating in the air."
She says NatureFresh was the best hack she’d ever come across!
“I placed NatureFresh bags in my living room, the kids bedrooms, the hallway and the kitchen. After one day, I could literally notice the stale air become fresher. After 1 week, my kids stopped getting headaches and stopped coughing!”
Life Hack #2: Turn your dusty house into a fresh air paradise without lifting a finger
Long-term exposure to dust and air pollution accelerates brain aging and increases the risk of dementia even in healthy elderly people with no underlying disease.
That’s why, after 50 years, Lynda McCarthy finally decided to do something about her dusty house.
“The next morning – let me tell you — I woke up to what felt like much fresher and crisper air in the house. Most important: it helped me reduce my allergy symptoms. No sneezing, no irritated eyes... not so much as a single sniff.
When these little bamboo activated charcoal bags first arrived, I’ll admit, I stared at them in disbelief. Now, weeks later, "I thank NatureFresh every day for helping to get the stuffiness out of my house."
Life Hack #3: Say goodbye to smelly trashcans and stinky closets
If you have offensive odors that you want to get rid of, try placing a NatureFresh bag next to the source of the odor. It has been said to work wonders on everything from smelly trashcans to stinky closets to even clearing out a room filled with cigarette smoke.
“So I bought
NatureFresh, and I started with his closet. I dropped off a few bags there, and then I made sure to keep some in his underwear and socks drawers. Within days I felt like the entire apartment had cleared up. I was so happy!”
But what did other customers have to say online?
I did some digging to see what people from all backgrounds were saying about NatureFresh. Here are just some of what people are saying:
It even has thousands of happy followers, some of whom have shared their thoughts:

I really wasn't sure what to expect as I learned of these reading an article, surprisingly. I have a dust problem in my apartment and also mildew smells caused by my apartment not being well insulated and moisture not having an actual place to go, freely. Once I placed the bags in the main spaces I needed to attack I was very shocked to notice the smell was gone within a day and I haven't been waking up sneezing, itchy skin, or seeing as much dust appear as fast. It's only been about a week or so, but I am liking the results thus far. I'll wait until the 30-day mark to consider purchasing another set to have on standby or at least in rotation.

I was hopeful that this product would work. My husband doesn’t always rotate his footwear so after I while I was beginning to smell something in my laundry room. Now in his defense I have a nose like a bloodhound; once I discovered it was his socks, I realized it had to be from his shoes. I bought these not expecting much but, with an open mind. I’m so thrilled they work so well at neutralizing the odor, and also absorbing the moisture that causes it. We used the larger packs that came with the set for our closets and, although the closets weren’t bad at all, I can tell they are a bit fresher. The bonus is that they can be reactivated with 3 hours of sunlight.

It has helped my house 100%! Better air quality, no more mold smells. Will most CERTAINLY be getting more for the upstairs bedrooms. And I WILL tell friends and family about your product and how wonderfully they WORK! Thank You for your time and attention.
So naturally, I had to try it myself
Having interviewed so many people and having done so much research, I wanted to get in on the fun for myself.
So there were three main things I wanted to tackle. I live in an older apartment so I had some issues with
- Mold
- Moisture
- And Dust
The mold and moisture was a big problem in my bathroom since we had absolutely zero circulation there.
With three people using one tiny bathroom, it ends up getting too humid which results in mold growth.
It’s to the point where you can definitely feel the air getting thicker and heavier. It’s kind of gross.
And after reading about how mold spores can easily travel throughout the rest of your house, I wanted to get rid of the problem ASAP.
So I placed a couple NatureFresh charcoal bags throughout the bathroom. One went on top of the water reservoir for the toilet and the other I just let sit on top of the counter.
And after 24 hours…
Notable difference! The bathroom didn’t feel as stuffy and I could feel a distinct decrease in humidity.
And after 1 month…
I saw a decrease in mold growth, and in certain areas, a complete disappearance of mold growth.
The NatureFresh bags had handily sucked in both the moisture and the mold spores, completely limiting their growth!
It was even so effective as to just eliminate mold colonies!
So with moisture and mold taken care of, what about dust?
When I first moved into my apartment, the landlord hadn’t done any cleaning whatsoever.
There was dust everywhere. But the carpet, in particular, was gross.
I vacuumed best I could, but there was still an awful amount of dust getting kicked up from the carpet with even the slightest wind.
Anytime I opened the window, I could see the sunlight penetrating through thick clouds of dust.
So I placed NatureFresh bags in my hallway and living room and watched.
Over the course of one week, I saw less and less dust get kicked up into the air.
And after a month, I saw nothing. I vacuumed my carpet to kick up some more dust and to suck up whatever was left, but I saw nothing.
It was miraculous! Those monks really had something going for them I tell you what!
Final Thoughts
NatureFresh is definitely the most interesting and most useful lifehack I’ve seen in a really long time.
I ended up saving more than $500 on repairs and services that I would have had to shell out money for to get rid of these problems!
I mean a decent size dehumidifier would have been something like $150.
Getting the mold cleaned off would have been like another $300.
And getting a good carpet clean would have been like another $250!
I highly recommend these crazy bamboo charcoal if you’re dealing with allergies, dust, mold, moisture, or smells!
I’ve gone ahead and bought six more bags to give to my grandparents and friends.
