How to deal with excessive formaldehyde in mattresses

When it comes to formaldehyde, most people can think of things that need to be paid attention to after house decoration. Everyone can say something, generally speaking, that is, it is toxic and carcinogenic. From a chemical point of view, formaldehyde exists in liquid or solid form and has a pungent odor. It stimulates human organs and causes a variety of adverse reactions such as dizziness, headache, memory loss, and there is also a chance that it may induce gene mutations. As long as you live in a house, no one can escape the clutches of formaldehyde. The removal of formaldehyde in the house has reached a point that cannot be ignored. So what should we do if the formaldehyde content in the mattress exceeds the standard?

From the perspective of decoration, formaldehyde generally exists as an adhesive. It has two sides. On the one hand, as a basic chemical raw material, people use it to achieve effects that cannot be replaced by other materials. On the other hand, if used in excess, it can cause serious harm to the human body. At present, the country's supervision of formaldehyde content is relatively strict for food, while it is relatively weak for furniture. Let's talk about how to reduce or remove formaldehyde:

1. Use some formaldehyde-absorbing plants to remove formaldehyde. For example, ivy and green radish have a relatively obvious effect on a small amount of formaldehyde exceeding the standard in the room; excessive formaldehyde will cause the death of the plants.

2. Using substances such as activated carbon can effectively absorb formaldehyde and remove odors, and can be used repeatedly, and the effect is very obvious.

3. In addition to the above methods, the plastic packaging film of the mattress must be torn off. In addition, keep the air circulating in the room. Frequent ventilation can also effectively reduce the formaldehyde content.

4. Finally, I would like to share with you a little secret recipe. Use 300 grams of black tea to make two basins of hot tea, put 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 irritating smell will be basically eliminated. It is very practical. When buying furniture, you should choose products produced by regular manufacturers and don't be greedy for cheap products.
