There are three main ways to remove formaldehyde from cloth: cleaning, drying, and using formaldehyde removal products. Choose the appropriate method according to the way the fabric is presented and the pollution situation.
The pollution of cloth is not only formaldehyde, but also TVOC. There are many types of fabrics and manufacturing processes, and many chemical additives may be used in the process, which also brings contamination residues. Fortunately, the formaldehyde and TVOC contamination of most fabrics is short-term and relatively easy to remove.
Textiles such as newly bought sheets, quilt covers, curtains, and new clothes will have some smells, as long as they are fabrics that can be washed with water, most of the pollution can be removed by washing and drying. This is because formaldehyde is easily soluble in water, which can carry away contaminants. It should be noted that the washing conditions are generally indicated on the product label and instructions, and it is not recommended to wash fabrics that are easy to shrink and fade.
The way of ventilation and drying in the sun will heat up the fabric, which is conducive to the volatilization of formaldehyde and other pollution, and the air circulation around the textile will also accelerate the dissipation of pollution. Therefore, drying is a natural and convenient way to remove formaldehyde from fabrics.
If it is inconvenient to disassemble and clean, such as fabric sofas and fabric wallpapers, and want to remove formaldehyde as soon as possible, you can use formaldehyde removal products. Formaldehyde and TVOC pollution on the cloth is generally not heavy, and the release period is short, and catalytic decomposition products can achieve the effect of removing pollution. For example, common photocatalysts, Anju deodorant, catalyst purification factor, etc.
