But it is a sustainable product that grows like crazy and can be made into many beautiful items from hard wood accessories to soft towels. It has natural anti-bacterial and deodorizing properties and is four times more absorbent than cotton. Bamboo has two major colors: "natural” which is similar to beech, and "carbonized which is similar to oak. A plethora of bamboo products are available for your bathroom that are friendly to the world as well as the wallet. Unlike other woods, laminated bamboo is water resistant, which makes it a perfect bathroom material. Check out these green, stylish, and budget-friendly bamboo bath accessories.
