Can salt water remove formaldehyde?

Nowadays, even people who don’t buy houses know that new houses or newly purchased furniture contain formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is a harmful substance to the human body. We should try to reduce the absorption of formaldehyde. However, after buying a new house, I always worry that the formaldehyde in the house has not been completely removed, and I am also afraid that the formaldehyde will harm the health of my family when living in it. So can we use salt water to remove formaldehyde?

① The formaldehyde removal method such as salt water is a misunderstanding, which has poor effects and delays the treatment of formaldehyde.

②An indoor environmental protection professional with more than 10 years of experience will personally teach effective formaldehyde removal methods.

③Formaldehyde is very harmful, so don’t trust some folk remedies.

Over the years, people have actually paid much more attention to formaldehyde pollution, but formaldehyde poisoning incidents caused by indoor decoration pollution are still increasing. The main reason for this, which can be clearly felt by people engaged in indoor environmental protection, is that many families have chosen the wrong formaldehyde removal methods. As a result, they move in without completely removing the formaldehyde, which inevitably leads to symptoms of formaldehyde poisoning.

The following scientific formaldehyde removal methods are called the "mortal enemy" of formaldehyde by industry insiders. They are highly efficient and easy to use:

One of the “mortal enemies”: strong convection wind.

Convection air is the best and fastest way to remove formaldehyde. If your home is ventilated from north to south, it would be perfect. Opening the windows can immediately reduce the formaldehyde level to below the standard.

However, some households do not have good ventilation conditions, and the release period of formaldehyde is as long as 3-15 years. There are many times in life when windows cannot be opened or there is no wind, so remember to use it in combination with other methods.

The second “mortal enemy”: activated carbon.

Activated carbon is a very good formaldehyde removal material. It comes in many types and has good adsorption properties. It can be used in large quantities for a short period of time to achieve good results. Also, please note that you need to monitor the saturation period of activated carbon in your home during use, and replace it in time after saturation, otherwise it will easily cause formaldehyde rebound. It is generally recommended to replace it once a month.

The third “mortal enemy”: Luo Qian Stone.

Luoqian Stone is a formaldehyde removal material commonly used by environmental protection industry insiders. It has strong formaldehyde adsorption and high purification efficiency. Its most important advantage is that it can decompose formaldehyde into carbon dioxide and water vapor, so its adsorption capacity tends to be infinite. It can be recycled for more than 3 years and purifies indoor air for a long time without the need for replacement.

The fourth “mortal enemy”: large-leaf green plants.

Green plants degrade formaldehyde through respiration and biological metabolism, so large-leafed green plants have a larger breathing area and are slightly more effective in purifying formaldehyde. However, compared with indoor pollution in new houses, their efficiency is still quite low, so it is best to use them as an auxiliary formaldehyde removal method.
