How to quickly remove formaldehyde in your home?

When decorating a new house, there will be a lot of formaldehyde smell because the decorative paints used contain chemical substances. In addition to the formaldehyde smell during decoration, if the newly purchased furniture has a strong odor, the harmful gas in the odor is formaldehyde. Moreover, formaldehyde exists for a long time and is not easy to dissipate, so it troubles many people. So how can we quickly remove formaldehyde at home?

1. Remove paint smell: Newly painted walls or furniture have a strong paint smell. To remove the paint smell, you only need to put two basins of cold salt water in the room. The paint smell will be removed in one to two days. You can also soak onions in the basin, which is equally effective.

2. Soak 300 grams of black tea in two basins of hot water, place them 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.

3. Placing green plants in the home bathroom can regulate the air and eliminate odors. It is best to grow a pot of green plants on the window, or put a vase with three or five flowers in it, which can bring a fresh and pleasant feeling.

4. Purchase 800 grams of granular activated carbon to remove formaldehyde. Divide the activated carbon into 8 portions, put them into plates, and place two to three plates in each room. The indoor odor can be basically removed within 72 hours.

5. Prepare 400 grams of coal ash, divide it into basins and place it in the room where formaldehyde needs to be removed. The formaldehyde content can be reduced to a safe range within a week. The above methods are also applicable to homes that have no odor after renovation, because some harmful substances are colorless and odorless. The more clean you keep, the safer you are.

6. Put the brewed tea leaves inside the refrigerator to achieve the deodorizing effect. If you don't have tea leaves, you can also cut a lemon or orange into half a piece to achieve the same effect. In addition, wiping the inside of the refrigerator with a rag soaked in beer will eliminate the odor.
