How to remove formaldehyde from bras

When female friends buy bras, most of them will choose some brands. Although the prices are higher, they are very good in terms of appearance, color and material. However, it cannot be ruled out that some bras contain formaldehyde, which is harmful to human health. But how to remove formaldehyde from bras? This needs to be removed in combination with the characteristics of formaldehyde, for example, it can be removed by soaking in warm water.

How to remove formaldehyde smell from underwear

1. Formaldehyde is a volatile substance with good water solubility. Washing can remove most of the formaldehyde remaining in clothes and reduce its harm to the human body. To ensure safety and health, do not wear newly bought clothes and pants immediately. You can wash them with clean water. If some coats are not convenient to wash, you might as well put them in the sun for a few days, so that some formaldehyde can evaporate.

2. According to the characteristics of formaldehyde, soaking in warm water at about 30 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes can basically remove formaldehyde, because formaldehyde begins to volatilize when the temperature exceeds 19 degrees Celsius and is easily soluble in water. Some clothes containing formaldehyde may be difficult to wash away with clean water. In this case, you can use vinegar to wash them. Generally, soaking for 15 minutes is enough. If the vinegar smell is too strong, soak it in clean water and wash it a few more times.

3. Another way is to use a basin of clean water, add a little table salt, just the right amount, stir evenly, and after the salt is completely dissolved, soak the new clothes in it for about 5 to 10 minutes, take them out, rinse them with clean water, and then dry them. The principle of this method is that a certain amount of formaldehyde will be added during the clothing production process, and salt can dissolve the formaldehyde! Of course, formaldehyde itself also has a certain volatility.

4. You can also place the newly bought clothes outdoors or blow them with a hair dryer, so that the formaldehyde can be fully eliminated, thereby reducing the harm to the body. A more reliable method is to use professional formaldehyde-removing laundry detergent for cleaning, which is also effective, but it costs a certain amount of money.

How to reduce formaldehyde in underwear

1. Try not to choose wrinkle-free clothing. Any non-ironing casual clothes that need to be bleached and dyed may contain formaldehyde. Some non-ironing clothes have a high formaldehyde content; then there are fashionable jeans. Be careful when wearing jeans of different shades, because formaldehyde may be used in the bleaching, dyeing and washing process. If the formaldehyde exceeds the standard, it will be harmful to the body.

2. You should try to choose natural fiber materials and green products. For example, plain cloth has a simple structure, tight structure, firm and strong, a smooth surface and lacks elasticity. Fine cloth is stronger than silk, has a smooth and fine surface, is as thin as silk, soft and comfortable. Cotton sateen is a satin-grain cotton product with a soft hand feel, thick texture, elasticity and comfort. Clothes made of these materials are very environmentally friendly.

3. Try not to put underwear in a newly bought wardrobe. Most of the artificial boards such as various density boards used in the manufacture of furniture use adhesives containing formaldehyde. The continuously released free formaldehyde will not only cause indoor environmental pollution, but also directly contaminate the clothes placed in the wardrobe, especially some cotton pajamas, children's clothing and underwear with strong adsorption capacity. In addition, quilts, blankets and autumn and winter clothes placed in the closet in summer will absorb a large amount of formaldehyde, so they must be fully dried or rinsed before use.
