Is it harmful if a new bed has a smell?

The bed is very important to us. It is our place to rest every day. We spend half of the day in bed. Generally, a newly bought bed will have some pungent smell. Many people are worried that these smells will have a certain impact on their health. If you are not sure about these smells, you have to do some processing. Of course, when buying a bed, you must buy products from regular manufacturers.

Is it harmful if a new bed has a smell?

1. Its irritating effect on the skin:

It manifests as irritation to the skin and mucous membranes. Formaldehyde is a protoplasmic toxic substance that can bind to proteins. Long-term exposure to formaldehyde may cause cancer of the nasal cavity, oral cavity, throat, skin and digestive tract, and in severe cases may cause death.

2. Allergenic effect on human body:

Direct skin contact with formaldehyde can cause allergic dermatitis, pigmentation, and necrosis, while inhalation of high concentrations of formaldehyde can induce bronchial asthma.

3. Mutagenic effect:

High concentrations of formaldehyde are also a genotoxic substance. Experimental animals may develop nasopharyngeal tumors if they inhale high concentrations in the laboratory.

4. Outstanding performance:

Headache, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, chest tightness, eye pain, sore throat, poor appetite, palpitations, insomnia, weight loss, memory loss and autonomic nervous system disorders, etc.; long-term inhalation by pregnant women may cause fetal malformation or even death, and long-term inhalation by men may cause sperm deformity and death, etc.

How to get rid of the new bed smell

1. Plant deodorization method

1. Aloe vera: Aloe vera has excellent odor absorption effect and its effect lasts for a long time. It can beautify the room. Moreover, aloe vera does not require time-consuming care and the price is only 5 to 10 yuan per pot.

2. Chlorophytum: "Zhebiehe" Chlorophytum has beautiful appearance and good effect in absorbing formaldehyde. Placing a pot of spider plant near our solid wooden bed can basically remove all odors, and the effect is very powerful. Moreover, this kind of spider plant only costs 3 to 8 yuan per pot, which is very cheap.

3. Fruit bonsai: Melon, pear, lemon, orange, small pumpkin, etc. are all excellent deodorizers. During the day, place fruit-bearing bonsai plants near the solid wooden bed. This is not only environmentally friendly and healthy, but also allows you to enjoy the natural fragrance of fruits and vegetables.

In addition to these, other plants suitable for deodorization include tiger tail orchid, ivy, agave, gerbera (also known as African daisy), chrysanthemum, green radish, begonia, communis, etc. Most plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen during the day, and the opposite at night. Cacti, tiger plants, spider plants, sedums and aloe vera all absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, and these plants are very easy to survive. Great for household odor removal.

Second, clever absorption method

1. The main smell of a solid wooden bed is the smell of paint. Just place two basins of cold salt water in the room and the paint smell can be removed in one to two days.

2. Buy a few packs of activated carbon and place them at the bottom and head of the solid wooden bed. It can absorb odors and formaldehyde. Activated carbon is available in most supermarkets, so this is the simplest and most effective method.

3. Put the used tea leaves in a gauze bag and place it under the bed or at the head of the bed. When the amount of tea leaves is large enough, the effect can catch up with activated carbon.

4. Buy some pineapples and put them under your bed. Because pineapple is a crude fiber fruit, it can absorb the smell of paint. At the same time, it emits the fresh fragrance of pineapple and speeds up the removal of odors, achieving the best of both worlds.
