In addition to ventilation, what other methods are there to remove formaldehyde? How to remove formaldehyde without ventilation?

We all know that formaldehyde is a very harmful substance. Many people will have a lot of formaldehyde when decorating their houses. This is a very normal phenomenon. If there is formaldehyde in the house, it is not suitable to move in immediately, otherwise it will easily cause physical discomfort. So besides ventilation, are there any other ways to remove formaldehyde? Let's take a closer look below!

Is there any other way to remove formaldehyde besides ventilation?

1. Green plants

A common product is the green ivy, which is affordable and easy to grow. It can be grown in water or soil. It is suitable for lazy people. Of course, you still need to remove the yellow leaves regularly, and try not to place it in the bedroom.

2. Activated carbon

There are many activated carbons on Taobao, but there are also many fake ones. Moreover, it will release after it is saturated, so you must expose it to the sun frequently and absorb it after the release.

3. Grapefruit peel and orange peel

It is very reliable in absorbing odors. It is a seasonal product. It must be thrown away after being placed for a maximum of 5 days, otherwise it will become moldy and hairy and cause secondary pollution.

4. Onion

It's inconspicuous, but it's really useful. You'll cry when you cut it. Cut fresh onions into pieces, put them in a small bowl in the cupboard, and change them about every 7 days.

5. Tea

I believe that everyone who buys a new cup soaks it in tea leaves overnight. The method of use is the same as onions.

6. Dilute formaldehyde products

You can buy these products on Taobao or JD.com to dilute and degrade formaldehyde, and use them once every six months.

7. Cleaning

In addition to ventilation, keeping clean and tidy and cleaning regularly are also very effective methods.

Methods for removing formaldehyde

1. Ironing and washing of textiles

For a newly renovated house, you can iron and wash curtains and sofa covers to remove formaldehyde from textiles in a timely manner. Many people think that there is no formaldehyde in textiles. This idea is wrong. Adhesives are added to textiles to prevent wrinkles and fading. Adhesives contain a lot of formaldehyde, so it is impossible to remove formaldehyde from textiles by ventilation alone.

2. Increase the indoor temperature

The volatilization rate of formaldehyde is directly related to temperature. The higher the temperature, the faster the formaldehyde volatilizes. So in order to remove formaldehyde, you can find a way to increase the indoor temperature. In fact, it doesn’t have to be too complicated. In summer, when it is hottest, close the doors and windows to increase the indoor temperature. Now winter is coming, friends in the north can heat their newly renovated houses. In one winter, the formaldehyde will be almost evaporated.

3. Exposure to the sun

You can put the mattresses, sofa cushions, furniture, etc. in your home outdoors to be exposed to the sun. This can increase the temperature of the items and speed up the volatilization of formaldehyde.

Formaldehyde removal rumors

1. Put a basin of water

Although formaldehyde is easily soluble in water, it will not actively react with water. Therefore, placing a basin of water indoors will not help remove formaldehyde. After all, the contact surface is too small.

2. Add vinegar

I don't know who first came up with this idea. There is no scientific basis for using vinegar to remove formaldehyde.

3. Professional Company

Professional companies have no way to deal with the formaldehyde deep inside the furniture, and the effect is minimal.
