After the renovation of the new house is completed, we all hope to remove harmful substances such as formaldehyde from the room as soon as possible to ensure the health of our families. Below, I will introduce several effective methods to help you quickly remove formaldehyde from your new home.
1 Open windows for ventilation.
Opening windows for ventilation is a simple and effective way to quickly reduce indoor formaldehyde concentrations. By opening the windows, fresh outdoor air can enter the room, thus expelling harmful substances such as formaldehyde from the outside. In the early stage after the renovation is completed, try to keep the windows open for ventilation for more than 3 hours a day.
2 Plant purification.
Plant decontamination is a natural way to remove formaldehyde. Some plants such as spider plants, pothos, etc., have the ability to absorb formaldehyde, and these plants can be placed indoors to help purify the air. However, it should be noted that the purification capacity of plants is limited and cannot be completely relied on to remove formaldehyde.
3. Activated carbon adsorption.
Activated carbon is a material with adsorption function, which can adsorb harmful substances such as formaldehyde in the room. Placing an activated carbon bag or activated carbon air purifier indoors can effectively remove formaldehyde. However, it should be noted that activated carbon has a limited adsorption capacity and needs to be replaced or dried regularly.
4 Photocatalyst removal.
Photocatalyst is an environmentally friendly technology that uses light energy to decompose harmful substances such as formaldehyde. Using a photocatalyst air purifier or spraying a photocatalyst reagent indoors can effectively remove formaldehyde. However, it should be noted that photocatalysts need ultraviolet light to work, so it is necessary to keep the room well lit when using it.
5 Air purifier removal.
An air purifier is a device that can filter harmful substances such as particulate matter, gases, and other harmful substances in the indoor air. Placing an air purifier indoors can effectively remove harmful substances such as formaldehyde. However, it should be noted that the effect of an air purifier is related to factors such as brand, model, and time of use, and it is necessary to choose the right air purifier according to the actual situation.
In conclusion, removing formaldehyde from a new home requires a combination of methods. In addition to the above methods, methods such as ozone machines, steam cleaning, etc., can also be used to remove formaldehyde. At the same time, we also need to pay attention to avoid using decoration materials and furniture and other items that contain a lot of formaldehyde to reduce indoor formaldehyde**. Only by adopting scientific and effective methods can we and our families live more healthily and comfortably.
