Pandoo's air purifying pads contain active bamboo charcoal, which effectively and naturally cleans the air and absorbs moisture in your home.

In this package you get 2 pcs. Pandoo bamboo charcoal air purifiers, each containing 200 g. activated bamboo carbon.

You can use the bamboo deodorizers in the kitchen, in the bathroom, in the wardrobe, in the office, in the sports bag, in your shoes and in the dog basket.

The air cleaner pads are square and have a metal ring mounted on them, so they can be hung on e.g. a hanger or a hook.

The air purifying pads are delivered in a box made of recyclable cardboard.

How to use your Pandoo bamboo air purifiers

• Place one or more pads in the rooms where you want to clean the air.
• When the pads have absorbed a lot of moisture, you just put them in a warm place to dry out the carbon.
• In the summer you can put them out and dry, directly in the sun, and then they work again.
• It is actually a really good idea to make it a habit to reactivate the pads by putting them out in the sunlight for a few hours every four weeks.
• The sun's UV rays will clean the pores in the activated carbon and the air freshener is fully activated again and ready to use.

The pads have a lifespan of at least 2 years and after that they are biodegradable but remember to cut off the top with the metal ring before throwing the pads into the compost. You can see the production date on the back of the box. It can, for example, be PO2010 which corresponds to 'October 2020', i.e. year first and month last. From the time of production, the shelf life is 4 years, which means that the product in the example can actually last until October 2024.

What is bamboo charcoal?

Bamboo charcoal is a 100% natural material. It consists in its simplicity of burnt bamboo. The specially made charcoal is not the same as regular charcoal.

When activated bamboo charcoal is made, the bamboo is burned under very high temperatures. The oxygen is removed and the carbon is activated with the help of steam gases.

The activated carbon has an incredibly good absorbent capacity, i.a. because it is full of small holes that capture and bind the substances that can be found in e.g. liquid.

One gram of activated carbon can have a surface area of ??500-3000 m2, and it is precisely this large surface area that makes activated carbon so fantastically effective.

What makes this washing-up gel special?

• Effective already from 40 °C
  Perfect for modern dishwashers and energy-saving programs.

• Natural and vegan ingredients
  Contains no animal substances and is based on plant extracts and minerals.

• Mild and clean scent
  Organic orange oil gives a natural and pleasant citrus scent without synthetic fragrances.

• Biodegradable and gentle on the environment
  The washing-up gel breaks down easily in nature and is certified with Ecogarantie – one of the most demanding environmental certifications in Europe.

• Without phosphates, enzymes or petrochemicals
  Safe for you, your dishes and your drains.

Use

1. Pour 25 ml (approx. ¾ cap) into the soap drawer.
2. For extra dirty dishes, you can use a full capful.
3. Add any 1 tablespoon of citric acid to remove limescale in the machine.
4. For optimal deodorization, you can add baking soda to the bottom of the machine.

Why is the dishwashing gel not made from 100% natural ingredients?
The gel currently contains a chelating agent that helps soften the water and remove other unwanted compounds. 85% of this substance is of natural origin and it is chemically modified to be as effective as possible.

The result is that in addition to Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions (the main compounds that cause water hardness) it can also remove Cu2+, Fe2+, Fe3+, Mn2+ and Zn2+ ions. These ions impair the appearance, taste, smell and color of the water (iron gives the water a rusty colour, manganese makes it brown or even black). The chelating agent is completely degradable and replaces a less effective EDDS agent.

What is the recommended water temperature?
If you use enzyme-free machine detergents - such as those from TIERRA VERDE - you must set the temperature to at least 40 °C.

The same principle applies to dishwashers and washing machines: We consider the environmental impact of raising the temperature to be significantly more acceptable than the impact by using synthetic and toxic agents. The financial cost of raising the temperature has been studied using a washing machine, where a temperature increase of 10°C increases the cost by 30 cents per load. wash.

Ingredients

• <15% soap nut extract
• Chelating agent (GLDA)
• Sodium citrate
• Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda)
• Sodium carbonate (washing soda)
• Glycerol
• Xanthan gum
• <5% non-ionic surfactants
• Organic orange oil (Citrus sinensis)
• D-limonene (naturally occurring in orange peel)

Resource awareness & health in focus
Tierra Verde consciously chooses ingredients and packaging that try to protect both health and the environment. The bottle is made from recyclable material, and the product does not contain microplastics, synthetic perfume, enzymes or petrochemicals.

The lids are made of food-approved silicone and they hold tight, so that even the liquid contents stay inside when the packed lunch is in the bag, important for a good experience during the lunch break! In addition, they are easy to open and close. When they are not in use, they can be stacked inside each other, so that they take up as little space as possible.

The boxes come in three sizes and contain 50ml, 110ml, 220ml.

This is the color variant TERRACOTTA.

They are dishwasher safe.

Advantages of stainless steel

Stainless steel is a great material for food storage. It is extremely durable and would like to accompany you for a lifetime. You thus save the environment from a lot of plastic and disposable packaging, such as tinfoil, film or plastic bags. It's really durable!

And then stainless steel is a clean material that does not contain phthalates, BPA or hormone-disrupting substances. Here you can be absolutely sure that your food products do not come into contact with boring chemistry.

Latex gloves for cleaning

Although you most likely use chemical-free cleaning agents, it can be hard on your hands to be in water for a long time, and sometimes you also have to use slightly harsher agents to get rid of the worst dirt

- therefore it is a good idea to have a pair of latex gloves to protect the skin on your hands. We have found a version that we at Økofamily can vouch for.

The gloves here are made in Europe by French La droguerie écologique; a brand that strikes a blow for both gentle production and clean materials and local, European workplaces. So we really like that! They are thus a good alternative to traditional rubber gloves and plastic gloves.

These cleaning gloves are made of rubber from FSC certified plantations.

The latex gloves can be used for washing dishes, various household tasks, gardening etc.

There is one pair in the box in size M and in the color green.

The gloves come in a reusable cardboard packaging.

Using latex gloves

Always rinse the cleaning gloves with water after use. (Be careful and remember to pay some attention to the environment if you have used chemical products.)

NOTE: Be aware that latex proteins in the gloves can, in some cases, cause an allergic reaction.

Universal glue for children and adults

The brilliant multi-glue from ÖkoNORMis a chemical-free and biodegradable glue that sticks to most materials.

It can be used as paper glue but is also very good as textile glue, wood glue and for cardboard, plastic, stone and many other materials. It is a really good glue for children.

The glue is white in liquid form, but becomes transparent when it dries up. Therefore, you can also advantageously use the universal glue to varnish surfaces which then become glossy and water-resistant. The glue dries up very quickly.

The product is made in Germany.

There is 50 ml. glue in the tube which has a nice small, pointed opening for easy application.

Wash the glue off your fingers with soap and water. If you get glue on your clothes, you should wash it off while the glue is still wet.

The glue can be used by children from approx. 3 years, but at this age it is still best to have an adult next to you.

Creative play with glue is a great activity with children when you want to work on their fine motor skills, eye-hand coordination, concentration and patience.

Find what you have of different materials, gizmos, ribbons, buttons, dip sticks, scraps of paper etc. and give your child scissors and this chemical-free universal glue in hand - then there is a foundation for many hours of creative expression, fun and motor training at the same time.

If you only need to glue cardboard and paper, we can recommend this really good and completely grit-free paperglue.

Ingredients:

• Polyvinyl acetate
• Propylene carbonate
• Preservatives: potassium sorbate and benzoic acid.

Good-smelling laundry without chemicals

If you, like many others, for good green reasons, have also switched to natural detergent and possibly soap berries, but just miss the fresh, clean scent that you might be used to from before, then a good alternative could be these organic, essential oils for the laundry from Cocoon. Because fragrant laundry is just fantastic for many.

But instead of falling back to traditional, perfumed washing and fabric softener full of additives and chemicals, you can achieve the same fragrant and fresh experience with these fantastic, mild oils.

This lavender oil is a pure 100% organically certified, essential oil.

It comes in the finest cardboard box in a 20 ml. bottle with drip spout.

Natural fragrance oil

The essential oil with lavender is certified 100% organic and the mildest essential oil on the market.

The fragrance oil is therefore 100% natural without the addition of synthetic or nature-identical additives.

The oil has a really nice fragrance.

The oil can be used alone, diluted with water, or together with our soap berries or with our wool dryer balls.

How to use essential oil for your laundry

• If you use soapberry, you can add a few drops to the cotton bag with soapberry, which must in the washing machine.
• If you use detergent in the "drawer", you can dilute the oil (1:10) with water and add it to the room with fabric softener.
• If the clothes are to be tumble-dried, you can add a few drops to your wool balls. Let them absorb the oil for 10-15 min, for the best result, before putting them in the dryer.

What you need to know

Although these fragrance oils are the mildest available, they are still 100% pure and undiluted essential oils, which in some cases are allergenic.

Therefore, the oil must not be applied directly to the skin, in which case there is a risk of showing symptoms of hypersensitivity.

Wash your wet bed sheet

We recommend that you wash the wet bed sheet at 40 degrees or a maximum of 60 degrees.

Please choose a washing program for heavy laundry, as the wet bed sheet can become heavy when washed, which some washing machines and/or washing programs find difficult to spin.

If the wet bed sheet is still very wet after washing, you can consider spinning it an extra time time.

The wet layer should not be dried in a tumble dryer. It should instead be hung to dry.

Note that the sheet can shrink 8-10%

• When the pads have absorbed a lot of moisture, simply put them down them in a warm place, to dry out the charcoal.
• In the summer you can lay them out and dry, directly in the sun, and then they will work again.

From the time of production, the shelf life is 4 years, which means that the product in the example can actually last until October 2024.

What is bamboo charcoal?

Bamboo charcoal is a 100% natural material. It consists in its simplicity of burnt bamboo. The specially made charcoal is not the same as ordinary charcoal.

When activated bamboo charcoal is made, the bamboo is burned under very high temperatures. The oxygen is removed and the carbon is activated with the help of steam gases.

The activated carbon has an incredibly good absorbent capacity, i.a. because it is full of small holes that capture and bind the substances that can be found in e.g. liquid.

One gram of activated carbon can have a surface area of ??500-3000 m2, and it is precisely this large surface area that makes activated carbon so fantastically effective.

Essential oils and allergies

The oils are, for example, from herbs, leaves, flowers, needles, twigs, leaves, roots, nuts, seeds and bark.

However, although essential oils are natural oils, you may well be hypersensitive to them. It is therefore important that you dilute the essential oils in other (natural and good) oils or water.

What is a Stasher Bag?

A Stasher Bag is a reusable and completely sealed silicone bag for storing your food, your toiletries and the like.

It is also brilliant for packed lunches.

A Stasher Bag can replace zip bags or the classic freezer bag and can be used thousands of times times.

Stasher Bags are made of pure platinum silicone, which is the absolute purest form of silicone. It is also called "liquid glass". You can safely store your food in it - including fatty and acidic ones.

Platinum-hardened silicone is primarily made of sand and oxygen. No fossil resources are therefore used in the production of Stasher Bags, nor resources that could otherwise be used for food production.

Stasher Bags can also withstand heating in the oven, microwave and sous vide pan.

The silicone bags are completely airtight when closed.

Also feel free to use Stasher Bags for freezing your food. The silicone bags are transparent and therefore give a good overview of the contents, while also saving a lot of space.

This Stasher Bag is a Snack version and measures 12 x 19 cm.

It can hold approx. 0.3 liters.

Stasher is an American B-Corp certified company. This certification means that good employee relations are maintained, the environment is treated properly and that the company is committed to society. Stasher's products are produced under responsible and good conditions in China, where Stasher himself makes sure to visit the factory to make sure the conditions are as they should be.

How to use your Stasher Bag

As you have probably already discovered, you can Stasher Bags are used for a great deal. Here are some tips for use in the oven, microwave, sous vide pot and freezer.

Stasher in the oven: Place your open bag on a baking tray and put it in the oven. We recommend heating at a maximum of 210 degrees. And leave the bag slightly open so that the steam can escape.Stasher in the microwave: Leave the bag open here too when you heat food in the microwave. If you are going to make popcorn, we recommend a Stasher Stand-up. It gives a little more space to pop.Stasher in Sous vide pot: Put the food in the bag and slowly lower it into the water. The heat causes the air to seep out of the bag and will create a vacuum around the food. Close the bag and make sure it is completely closed when it is in the water. Prepare as you normally would, but now completely without plastic.Stasher in the freezer: Use Stasher Bags to freeze your food. They are brilliant for leftovers from dinner or for wet food such as fruit or meat. Stasher Bags do not take up much space in the freezer and since they are transparent, they provide a good overview.

Tips for Stasher Bags

Write on your Stasher Bag with a whiteboard pen. It comes off easily in the wash

Your Stasher Bag may be discolored by certain foods (tomato and the like). A little smell can also be transferred if you have used your stasher bag for strong foods. Both parts can be remedied with a little baking soda and lemon.

If they get a little discolored over time, you can use vinegar and baking soda to remove them, and if that doesn't work, we have another tip up our sleeve as well.

If you have Stasher bags in Clear or lighter versions, the best way to remove discoloration is to actually let the sun do the work. If you leave your bags out in the sun for a few hours or 3, the UV rays will work to remove the discolouration.

Of course, that requires it to be out in the sky.

You can also remove food smells by putting your stasher bags in the oven at 175 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
Make sure they cool down again before handling them.

You can also soak them in hot water with a little vinegar and salt for an hour. It can also help.

And then the best tip is probably just to use it again and again and again :-)

Cleaning your Stasher Bag

Please put your Stasher bag in the dishwasher. It can easily withstand that.

Otherwise you can clean it by hand washing.

Stasher Bags are produced in China under proper conditions.
