Incense sticks are important materials for making Buddhist incense, but these raw materials are made from natural bamboo and are prone to mold in humid climates. Especially during the rainy season, continuous rainy weather increases the humidity in the air, leading to a higher chance of mold growth. So, how can incense sticks prevent mold growth?
How to prevent moldy incense sticks?

Fragrant sticks are made from natural bamboo and contain nutrients such as starch and bamboo fiber that are necessary for mold growth. If they are too moist, they may become moldy and unusable. It is recommended to solve this problem by making fragrant sticks to prevent mold and soaking. Just soak the bamboo sticks in the mixed bamboo and wood anti mold powder solution to obtain good anti mold effect.

The application method is as follows:
1: Soaking
Wood anti mold powder can be mixed with water in a low ratio to form an anti mold liquid. Then, a small pool can be prepared to mix the wood anti mold powder with water and stir it open. The bamboo sticks can be soaked in the pool and then taken out to dry. This way, the treated bamboo sticks can be guaranteed to not mold for more than two to three years without being placed in a particularly humid environment.
2: Spray
Spray the mold inhibitor evenly onto the bamboo stick using a spray, and wait for the stick to absorb a certain amount of liquid to effectively prevent mold growth.
3: Painting and Brushing
This method is generally more suitable for wooden blocks. Dip a brush in wood mold inhibitor and evenly apply it to the surface of the wood.
