Bamboo has increased in popularity in recent years because it is clean, indestructible and it is a renewable resource. In fact, this member of the grass family is one of the fastest growing plants on Earth, it's 16 percent harder than maple and it is one-third lighter than oak. Bamboo absorbs little moisture and does not shrink or swell, so it is also used for dish racks and other kitchen utensils. All you need, to clean your bamboo dish rack, is a bit of soapy water and some mineral oil.
