Only use tap water combined with Binchotan-active charcoal. Your Binchotan-active charcoal is already cleaned and ready to be used. Do not wash it with solvents or soap. Please don’t wash it with aromatic tonics or juices. Please take the charcoal out of the bottle it is in before cleaning it. The impurities absorbed by the Binchotan-active charcoal are removed by rinsing it with boiling water. Please do not drink water which has been in contact with the Binchotan-active charcoal during more than 48 hours. Sometimes you might find small particles / fragments of the active charcoal in the water, but that isn’t a reason to worry; to swallow then isn’t dangerous (active charcoal tablets are medicines that are used for treatments of diarrhea, digestive disturbs or winds).

Black+Blum are an Anglo-Swiss partnership composed by two designers Dan Black and Martin Blum who joined forces in 1998 and they are based in London, the European heart of design. As a design consultancy we advise companies on any creative aspect. This accumulating insight into different markets catalysed the decision to develop their own range of products. It has since become a vehicle to fully explore and enjoy their creativity. Black+Blum designs have won numerous awards and are sold through selected stores all over the world.
Black+Blum are driven by the opportunity to give each design its own unique character and soul. Their brief is to create functional products that will charm and entertain. They are passionate about design and realise that a true black + blum product is always a joint input of Dan and Martin's personalities. Hopefully you will get as much enjoyment from black + blum products as we got from designing them.
