Is the bamboo treated with chemicals?

I really don't know if it is treated with chemicals, perhaps that is a question for the manufacturer?

I don't believe it is - it is just raw wood. If it is, I was not aware. Sorry I cannot answer for sure.

Neither, it is made of bamboo - and it's coloring is similar to a light oak finish.

Olivia, I only have an ash board but have friends with bamboo. There is nothing on the Boos website, so I called them and they said "yes, the oil and cream are safe on bamboo". They used to make bamboo products but stopped several years ago.

No! I don't believe so... From what I have read the company uses permanently bonded silica (think sand or glass) instead of conventional chemicals. The information used to be on their website, might still be.

I have no clue. It looks like it was carved out of bamboo without adhesive which is traditional old fashioned Chinese method. In modern China they use a lot of chemicals in production, but I believe bamboo utensils would still be done under old technology, otherwise nobody would buy. Just my 2 cents.

In studies conducted by Consumers Union, Bamboo and wooden boards resisted bacteria when washed with soap and warm water significantly better than the artificial products treated the same way. In fact some of the wooden boards became totally bacteria free after just 3 days of sitting after use and cleansing.

The vinegar worked well on weeds on my patio. They showed the effect shortly after application. I think the best way to eradicate bamboo is through the roots. The top growth will not absorb the vinegar.

No, I have not. I would imagine the bamboo will tolerate that kind of heat.

I haven't needed to. Might not hurt , however if you want to not infuse various flavors into the bamboo material.

Sorry, never used it for those plants. You might research bamboo plants on the web and find an answer; good luck!

I am unaware of any chemicals used on the husks. The product is advertised as 100% organic, which I would take to be free of chemicals. I have taken the husks out of the pillow in order to wash the cover and noticed no odd odors or colors.

All of the material included with the Pail says "bamboo". I see no signs, recycling or otherwise indicating it is anything but bamboo!

Not that I have experienced. I do a lot of outdoor cooking, beef, chicken, pork and fish. I thoroughly clean my boards after every meal with hot soapy water. Twice a month I oil them down with food grade mineral oil (WalMart $1.98 for 8oz) the look brand new after every cleaning and never smell like the previous foods used on the bamboo boards. Hope that helps...

I don't have any bamboo to test it on, but it is not listed on the label as one of the weeds it will kill. Good luck with that.

It kills and neutralizes plants. Bamboo maybe I don't know a hard wood. Then use tordon. It will kill it. Any farm store will have it

yes...it's a great block and because it's bamboo, it is microbe resistant, which is important...and bamboo is also gentle on steel and ceramic...I REALLY like my block and recommend it .
