How to deal with formaldehyde removal

Formaldehyde is a highly toxic substance and ranks second on my country's priority control list of toxic chemicals. It has been identified by the World Health Organization as a carcinogen and teratogen, is a recognized source of allergies, and is also one of the potential strong mutagens. Generally, a newly renovated house cannot be lived in directly because there is still formaldehyde remaining in the house. If people live in it directly, they will inhale too much formaldehyde and suffer from poisoning. So what to do after removing formaldehyde?

1. When removing formaldehyde from a new house, you need to open doors and windows for ventilation

During the formaldehyde treatment process, the free formaldehyde in the artificial board will also evaporate when the water in the agent evaporates. Therefore, the indoor formaldehyde concentration will also increase during the formaldehyde removal construction process. For the health of construction workers, it is best to carry out formaldehyde treatment under ventilated conditions.

2. Note 2 for removing formaldehyde from a new house: Do not choose rainy days, it is best to choose sunny days

Since the moisture content of artificial boards needs to be kept at a low concentration, dry and sunny weather should be chosen when entrusting Shenzhen indoor formaldehyde removal companies to carry out formaldehyde treatment. Indoor humidity and temperature also have a great relationship with the volatilization of formaldehyde. The higher the temperature, the greater the air humidity, the more formaldehyde volatilizes, and the better the formaldehyde treatment effect.

3. Precautions for removing formaldehyde from a new house: Ventilation after treatment

After formaldehyde treatment, it is generally sufficient to ventilate the room for 3-5 days. This time can allow the agent on the surface of the furniture to completely dry, maintain the moisture content of the furniture, and prevent the furniture from deforming easily. In addition, ventilation can also reduce and lower the formaldehyde content of indoor wallpaper, walls, and textile items, minimizing the indoor formaldehyde concentration.

4. Precautions for removing formaldehyde from a new house: Pay special attention to melamine panel furniture

When treating melamine-board furniture, be careful to avoid joints and edge sealing as much as possible. If the edge sealing is not good, the product aqueous solution may penetrate into the interior of the furniture, causing the particle board to absorb water and expand, affecting the appearance. Therefore, after spraying the agent, it is best to wipe the seams, edge banding, and the lower edges of cabinet doors or cabinet side panels where water is prone to accumulate with a paper towel.

5. Be careful not to damage the furniture when removing formaldehyde

Some formaldehyde removal solutions contain organic agents that, due to the principle of like dissolves like, may chemically react with the leather surface coating or the paint on the furniture surface, causing the surface to fall off and crack. Therefore, if there is metal hardware, it is necessary to protect it well, and after spraying, wipe it clean with toilet paper or paper towels in time to avoid damage to the paint on the metal hardware.
