How to quickly eliminate the unpleasant smell of newly purchased office furniture?

Newly purchased office furniture often has an unpleasant odor, primarily from formaldehyde and paint. We all know that you can't move into a newly renovated house immediately because it contains a lot of formaldehyde, which is harmful to health. So how can we quickly and effectively remove these odors? Henan Huadu Times Furniture will tell you the tricks.

1. Properly open a window that doesn't directly expose the walls and ceiling to direct airflow for ventilation. Fill a basin or small bucket with cool water, add a suitable amount of vinegar, and place it in the ventilated room. Also, open the furniture doors. This will both evaporate some moisture to protect the paint on the walls and ceiling and absorb and eliminate residual odors. If your budget allows, you can buy some pineapples and place a few in each room, more in larger rooms. Because pineapples are a fibrous fruit, they can both absorb the paint smell and emit a pleasant pineapple aroma, accelerating the removal of odors-a win-win situation.

II. Plant-based Formaldehyde Removal: Many plants can absorb formaldehyde, including cacti, spider plants, gerberas (also known as African daisies), reeds, ivy, cycads, and chrysanthemums. Plants that eliminate xylene include ivy, cycads, and chrysanthemums. Monstera deliciosa, also known as Swiss cheese plant, is an evergreen vine that not only eliminates odors but also freshens the air. Activated Carbon: Activated carbon can absorb formaldehyde, reducing its harm to the human body, but it is difficult to completely remove it. We recommend long-term use. After renovation, you can buy some activated carbon and combine it with other methods; this is a good option.

3. Using tea stalks or tea leaves to eliminate odors: If possible, buy some tea stalks from tea farmers and scatter them on the surface of office furniture and in drawers. This will effectively remove odors. If you don't have tea stalks, you can buy some lower-quality tea leaves and place them directly on the surface of your office furniture.

IV. Activated Carbon Adsorption Method: Solid activated carbon has numerous pores, giving it a strong adsorption and decomposition effect on harmful substances such as formaldehyde. The smaller the activated carbon particles, the better the adsorption effect. Activated carbon's adsorption of formaldehyde is significant, but the amount of activated carbon needed varies depending on the size of the space. Furthermore, activated carbon needs to be replaced after it has adsorbed a certain amount of formaldehyde.

5. Fruits: Lemons not only absorb odors but also freshen the air. However, when wiping, it's important to pay attention to the details of office furniture maintenance to avoid mold growth or future problems due to inadequate cleaning. Pineapples can be placed on newly purchased furniture; their sweet aroma can remove odors and freshen the room-a win-win! However, the effect won't be immediately noticeable.

6. Indoor air purifiers: There are now air purifiers on the market specifically designed to remove formaldehyde, mainly for people who have recently renovated their homes. These are also quite effective at removing odors from office furniture.
