How to remove formaldehyde? Effective methods to remove formaldehyde

Formaldehyde is a chemical product that poses a great threat to human health, especially in newly renovated houses. The smell of formaldehyde is quite strong. If it is not removed in time, it can easily induce serious diseases. First of all, in a newly renovated house, people cannot live in it. Formaldehyde must be removed in time before it can be lived in. Windows can be opened for ventilation, and activated carbon can be used to remove formaldehyde, which is very effective.

1. Open windows for ventilation:

This is really important! Open all the windows in a newly renovated house to allow air to circulate, thus reducing the content of harmful substances in the indoor air. For those who are renovating their houses in winter, special attention should be paid. Do not close the windows and doors because you are afraid of the cold. You should know that if the air is not circulated, the formaldehyde content in the city will increase and the radon gas concentration will also increase. Of course, this cannot completely drive away all formaldehyde.

2. Activated carbon deodorization method:

This trick really works and the effect is very good. Activated carbon is inexpensive and practical, suitable for a wide range of users. The physical adsorption of activated carbon can adsorb thoroughly without causing secondary pollution. It is really a good helper for removing formaldehyde!

3. Cold water and vinegar deodorization method:

This trick was told to me by a friend. After practicing it, I found it is very effective. Let me share it with you! Find a basin, fill it with cold water, then add an appropriate amount of vinegar and place it in a ventilated room to remove the remaining toxic gases.

4. Peel deodorization method:

Put some orange peels and lemon peels in every corner of the room. Although they don’t remove odors very quickly, it is also a feasible method.

5. Plant deodorization method:

I believe that many people have used the plant deodorization method. Placing some suitable flowers and plants at home is economical, beautiful and generous. More importantly, it can also remove the smell of formaldehyde and give you a warm and healthy environment. Among the flowers and plants placed indoors, cacti, spider plants, ivy, etc. can all remove the smell of formaldehyde very well.

Precautions

If your house has just been renovated and you are not sure whether the formaldehyde content exceeds the standard, you can ask a professional testing agency to conduct a comprehensive test. You can only move in after everything meets the standards. Here we recommend Gold Standard Testing, which is a professional, fair and independent third-party testing and evaluation service agency, and has passed laboratory accreditation (CMA Metrology Certification).
