Does the furniture contain formaldehyde?

Usually a large amount of formaldehyde will appear after decoration. Formaldehyde is quite harmful to human body. Formaldehyde exists in home decoration materials, furniture, handicrafts, etc. Newly decorated houses need to use various methods to eliminate formaldehyde. You can buy some plants that eliminate formaldehyde, open windows for ventilation every day to remove formaldehyde, and wipe furniture with tea water to eliminate formaldehyde odor. Does furniture have formaldehyde? Let's take a look.

1. Both new and old furniture may contain excessive formaldehyde, because the release time of formaldehyde is relatively long, which can be as long as 3-15 years. Therefore, whether it is new furniture or furniture that has been used for a long time, you must pay attention to it and do a good job of removing formaldehyde.

2. If you are not sure whether the formaldehyde content in your furniture exceeds the standard, you can buy a formaldehyde detection kit and do the test yourself at home. It is simple, easy to operate and very cheap.

1. Open windows more often for ventilation, especially in a newly renovated home or in a home with newly replaced furniture. Open windows frequently for ventilation, so that harmful substances such as formaldehyde in the room will gradually be reduced.

2. Open the doors and drawers of furniture frequently to ventilate them, so that the harmful substances such as formaldehyde can be dissipated faster. Otherwise, harmful substances such as formaldehyde will remain inside and will not be easy to dissipate.

3. You can put some solid adsorption products in the furniture, such as activated carbon and charcoal bags. They are small in size and easy to place. You can just put them on the furniture. It is very convenient and inexpensive.

4. You can use liquid products specifically for removing formaldehyde from furniture, such as photocatalyst wood essential oils specifically for removing formaldehyde from floors, leather formaldehyde removal care liquid, etc. Liquid formaldehyde removal products are more effective and the results can be seen in a short time.

5. It is best to plant more flowers and plants indoors. Chlorophytum comosum, green ivy, etc. are good indoor plants. They can purify the air, absorb a certain amount of formaldehyde, and play an auxiliary role in removing formaldehyde indoors.

If it is new furniture, it is recommended not to put underwear, pajamas, and children's clothes in it, because most new wardrobes have formaldehyde levels that exceed the standard, and the level is many times higher than the standard. If you put close-fitting underwear or pajamas in it, it will pose a serious threat to your health.
