How to deal with furniture smell

Newly bought furniture generally has a smell, and this smell is mostly caused by formaldehyde. As we all know, formaldehyde has a particularly great impact on human health. If formaldehyde cannot be eliminated in time, it will cause serious health damage to the human body. So, how do you deal with the smell of newly bought furniture? The following will introduce you to the relevant knowledge.

Chlorophytum, aloe vera, and tiger tail orchid can absorb trace amounts of formaldehyde and other pollutants, eliminating and preventing indoor air pollution; the bactericides secreted by flowers such as jasmine, lilac, honeysuckle, and morning glory can kill certain bacteria in the air, inhibit the growth of tuberculosis, dysentery pathogens, and typhoid bacteria, and make indoor air clean and hygienic. Plants carry out photosynthesis during the day, absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen; they carry out respiration at night, absorbing oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide.

Adsorption is a solid surface phenomenon. It uses porous solid adsorbents to treat gaseous pollutants, so that one or several components are adsorbed on the surface of the solid adsorbent under the action of molecular gravity or chemical bond force, thereby achieving the purpose of separation. Commonly used solid adsorbents include coke and activated carbon, among which activated carbon is the most widely used. Activated carbon has the ability to adsorb most harmful pollutant gases.

3. Natural ventilation method

Natural ventilation is the simplest and most effective method. Ventilation can accelerate the volatilization of harmful pollutants in the room and keep the indoor air as fresh as the outdoor air. Among the traditional methods of dealing with indoor pollution, ventilation is the most desirable method. It can deal with rooms with particularly high levels of pollution. Newly renovated houses are usually ventilated for more than half a year before moving in, and after moving in, try to keep the indoor air circulating.

4. Chemical Reaction Method

To quickly remove odors such as paint residue on the surface of furniture, you can add citric acid, vinegar, toothpaste, detergents with high degreasing efficiency, degreasing facial cleansers, etc. when scrubbing the furniture. Adding an appropriate amount of reactants each time you scrub the furniture can reduce harmful pollutants in the room. The volatilization of odors is the aging and decomposition of internal substances in the furniture material. No chemical method can eradicate the volatile harmful pollutants. For example, the viscose that is essential for artificial boards, its main component is urea-formaldehyde resin, and the synthesis of urea-formaldehyde resin requires industrial formaldehyde. At high temperatures, the condensed formaldehyde will evaporate, which is unavoidable for any reagent. The deodorization products produced by many manufacturers also have a certain inhibitory effect on harmful pollutants, such as plant liquid, formaldehyde remover, deodorant, etc. These products have good deodorization effects.

The method of using photocatalysts to control harmful indoor pollutant gases is known in the industry as "photocatalytic comprehensive control technology". It is currently the most mature indoor environmental control technology in the world and the only technology recommended by the country for controlling indoor environmental pollution. There is a related announcement on the website of the Ministry of Environmental Protection. You can search for "photocatalytic comprehensive control technology" to find its recognition.
