It takes 5 to 15 years for formaldehyde from wooden floors to be released.
No matter how environmentally friendly wood flooring products you use, formaldehyde will still be present. Formaldehyde release is a relatively long process, and the volatilization period is generally 5 to 15 years. If it is a solid wood floor, the formaldehyde release time will be shorter.
If it is a general artificial wooden floor, it contains a large amount of adhesive, especially after being made at high temperatures, it contains a large amount of formaldehyde, and the release time will be relatively long. Therefore, when choosing a wooden floor, It is best to choose products of better quality so that they contain less formaldehyde.
Methods to remove formaldehyde
1. Ventilation
No matter what season it is, it is necessary to frequently open windows for ventilation, especially for newly renovated rooms. For new homes, ventilation can effectively reduce indoor harmful gas levels.
2. Plants
According to the different functions and areas of the room, appropriately place some cacti, spider plants, ivy, chrysanthemums and other green plants. These plants have the ability to absorb formaldehyde. It is recommended to place two pots of 1.5-meter-high plants in a room of about 10 square meters.
3. Activated carbon
Activated carbon is recognized as a formaldehyde absorption helper. You can place 2 to 3 plates of activated carbon in each room. After three days, the indoor odor can be basically eliminated. However, this method is only suitable for areas with medium to low pollution. If used in combination with other methods, the effect will be better.
