What to do if solid wood furniture tastes good? ——Comprehensive analysis of causes and solutions
Solid wood furniture is favored by consumers because of its environmental protection, durability and other advantages. However, newly purchased solid wood furniture often has odor, which may affect the living experience and even health. This article will combine the hot topics and user concerns on the Internet in the past 10 days, systematically analyze the sources of odor and provide solutions.
1. Analysis of the sources of odor in solid wood furniture
| Odor type | primary source | degree of harm |
|---|---|---|
| The smell of the wood itself | Natural resins such as pine and camphor wood evaporate | ★☆☆☆☆ (Basically harmless) |
| Paint/coating smell | VOC volatilization such as formaldehyde and benzene series | ★★★☆☆ (need to be alert) |
| Adhesive smell | Chemical glue used in splicing parts | ★★★★☆ (more harmful) |
| Warehouse musty smell | Mold breeds due to moisture during transportation and storage | ★★☆☆☆ (may cause sensitization) |
2. Comparison of 7-day rapid deodorization programs
| method | Operation mode | Effective time | cost | Recommendation index |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ventilation method | Keep windows open for more than 8 hours a day | 3-7 days | 0 yuan | ★★★★★ |
| Activated carbon adsorption | Place 100g activated carbon packs per square meter | 5-10 days | 20-50 yuan | ★★★★☆ |
| Photocatalyst spray | Evenly sprayed and then UV irradiated | 2-3 days | 80-150 yuan | ★★★☆☆ |
| Decomposition of green plants | Place plants such as monstera/ivy | 7-15 days | 30-100 yuan | ★★★☆☆ |
3. Professional-grade treatment solution (for stubborn odors)
1.High temperature fumigation: Use professional steam equipment to fumigate furniture at around 60°C to accelerate the release of harmful substances (professional operation required).
2.ozone oxidation: The ozone machine is closed for 2-3 hours to decompose formaldehyde and other organic compounds (thorough ventilation is required after treatment).
3.Nano mineral crystal adsorption: A new material with a specific surface area of 1000㎡/g and an adsorption capacity 6 times that of activated carbon.
4. The five issues consumers are most concerned about
1.Q: How long does the smell last for?
A: Environmentally friendly paint furniture usually takes 1-2 weeks, inferior paint may last several months.
2.Q: How to judge whether formaldehyde exceeds the standard?
A: If the professional tester reading is >0.08mg/m³, it means it exceeds the standard, or you should observe whether symptoms such as eye irritation occur.
3.Q: Is grapefruit peel/tea really effective?
A: It can only mask the smell and has no actual decomposition effect (Douyin’s actual measurement data shows that the formaldehyde concentration only reduces by 3%).
4.Q: Is there a big difference in the smell of different woods?
A: It’s huge! Pine wood has its own rosin (harmless), while rubber wood has a sour smell (you need to be wary of sulfide residues).
5.Q: How to avoid pitfalls in advance when purchasing furniture online?
A: Merchants are required to show CARB certification (U.S. formaldehyde standard) or Japanese F4 star certification.
5. Latest industry data reference in 2023
| Test items | National standards | Actual measured value of high-quality products | Actual measured value of inferior products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Formaldehyde release | ≤0.124mg/m³ | 0.02-0.05mg/m³ | 0.15-0.3mg/m³ |
| Total amount of TVOC | ≤0.6mg/m³ | 0.1-0.3mg/m³ | 0.8-1.5mg/m³ |
| Benzene series | ≤0.09mg/m³ | Not detected | 0.12-0.2mg/m³ |
6. Ultimate advice: Prevention is better than cure
1. Give priority to furniture with mortise and tenon structure from big brands (reduce the use of glue)
2. Ask to see third-party testing reports (focus on formaldehyde release data)
3. It is recommended to buy new furniture in summer (high temperature accelerates the release of harmful substances)
4. Purchase children’s room furniture 3 months in advance and ventilate it
Through the above systematic method, 95% of the odor problems of solid wood furniture can be significantly improved within 2 weeks. If the odor persists for more than 1 month, it is recommended to contact a professional agency for testing and treatment.
