100808sumi-02.jpg Not quite the most beautiful odor control you've ever seen, its benefits far outweight its appearance. Sumi charcoal is a substance used in all sorts of home applications. From water filtration and bacteria reduction, to reducing algae and even slowly releasing nutrients in gardening applications. Most importantly, it absorbs bad household smells!

100808sumi-03.jpg Not quite like the charcoal you might grill over, Sumi charcoal is made with certain types of hardwood (like cypress, oak, cedar or bamboo) in a clay kiln at high temperatures for many days. This process gives sumi charcoal its amazing features. Homeowners across the country are discovering this neat charcoal and using it as a simple way to absorb bad smells in the home! You can purcase sumi charcoal from online sources like Seasons.
