How to remove indoor paint smell

Newly renovated houses always have a smell of paint, which is quite harmful to the body. There are often some health killers hidden in it. For example, formaldehyde is a chemical product that is particularly harmful to health. You must not move in if there is a smell of paint. You must promptly and thoroughly remove the paint smell in the house through certain methods. It is best to undergo professional testing and only move in when the air quality in the house meets the standards.

1. Salt water deodorization method

This is a relatively simple and common method. We only need to take two basins of salt water and place them indoors to achieve the effect of quick removal. In addition to salt water, the vinegar we use for consumption has the same effect. We can fill the container with cold water, then add an appropriate amount of vinegar and place it in a ventilated room, and open the furniture door. This can not only protect the wall and ceiling paint surface by evaporating moisture, but also attract harmful substances in the room.

We don’t have to throw away the peeled fruit peels, such as orange peels, grapefruit peels, etc. In fact, these peels can also absorb the smell of paint. For example, the fresh scent of pineapple can speed up the removal of odors, achieving the best of both worlds. In addition, placing orange peels, lemon peels and other items in the room can also effectively remove paint odors, but the effect is not as fast as pineapples.

3. Activated carbon quick deodorization method

This is a relatively scientific, practical and effective method. It is a good drug absorber and has good adsorption properties, so it can quickly remove the paint smell in the room. But now there are many activated carbons on the market, and not all activated carbons have the ability to adsorb gases, so consumers must be careful when purchasing to avoid being deceived.

If we inhale these paint fumes for a long time, our bodies will be prone to headaches, dizziness, chest tightness, limb weakness and coughing. If we are exposed to it for a long time, it may even easily cause serious diseases such as aplastic anemia, leukemia, tuberculosis, pleurisy, and even cancer. Pregnant women must also pay special attention. If they stay in an environment full of highly hazardous paints for a long time, it may cause skin allergies in pregnant women at the very least, or even cause fetal malformations, such as cleft lip and palate.
