How to remove paint smell and formaldehyde

Newly renovated houses will have a paint smell, which may cause formaldehyde to exceed the standard. For such a house, first of all, it cannot be lived in. Good ventilation must be maintained to make the smell inside gradually disappear. After passing professional testing, it can be occupied only if it meets the standards. There are many ways to remove the smell of paint and formaldehyde. The best way is ventilation. In addition, activated carbon and plants have a certain removal effect.

Natural wind can take away the air in the room, achieving the effect of exchanging space. During the ventilation process, it will take away the odor in the room. Moreover, a large part of the odor in the room comes from the materials used for painting on the walls. The wind can also transfer the moisture of the materials on the wall. The odor can easily be absorbed by the body along with the moisture and taken away together.

Chemical reaction: appropriate amount of activated carbon

Activated carbon is amorphous carbon in black powder or granular form. Carbon structure defects will be produced during activation, and therefore, it also has a strong gas adsorption effect. Fruit shell activated carbon is widely used in gas purification and can effectively adsorb free chlorine, phenol, sulfur and other organic pollutants in water to achieve purification, removal of impurities and odor.

Fruit deodorization

In fruit-producing cities, it is found that many citizens use tropical fruits to remove odors, which is effective, low-cost and simple. Some tropical fruits grow in tropical and subtropical environments with plenty of sunshine and rain, and have a particularly strong fragrance. The fruits contain a lot of water, and the strong fragrance can be emitted for a long time. Many citizens regard these fruits as natural and practical "air cleansers." Some citizens also use jackfruit (a tropical fruit similar to durian) to remove chemical odors from newly renovated houses, and the effect is also very good. Newly renovated houses often have pungent odors of chemical raw materials such as Tianna water. Put a jackfruit with its belly opened in the house. Because jackfruits are large (usually as big as a watermelon) and have a strong fragrance, they can absorb all the odor in a few days.

Chlorophytum, aloe vera, and tiger tail plant can absorb a large amount of indoor 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.

Most plants carry out photosynthesis during the day, absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen; and respire at night, absorbing oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide. Some plants are the opposite, such as cactus, which releases carbon dioxide during the day and absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen at night. Placing a cactus in the living room at night can replenish oxygen and help you sleep.

Soak 300 grams of black tea in two basins of hot water, place it in the room, and open the windows for ventilation. Within 48 hours, the indoor formaldehyde content will drop by more than 90%, and the irritant smell will be basically eliminated.

Remove paint odor

Buy some pineapples and put a few in each room; put more in larger rooms. Because pineapple is a crude fiber fruit, it can not only absorb the smell of paint but also emit the fresh fragrance of pineapple and speed up the removal of odor, thus achieving the best of two worlds.
