One. The strong odor of solid wood finger joint boards is caused by formaldehyde.
"Finger joint boards contain formaldehyde. Compared to other engineered wood products, finger joint boards use less adhesive, but still contain formaldehyde. If a finger joint board is coated with a thick layer of paint, it may take approximately one year for the odor to completely dissipate. If the finger joint board is not painted, it will emit the natural odor of pine, which is harmless to the human body."
Two. What should I do if the smell from solid wood finger-jointed boards is too strong?
1、Biological removal method
Use plants to eliminate odors on new furniture joints, as plants have inherent air-purifying capabilities. Effective plants include, but are not limited to, spider plants and aloe vera.
2、Activated carbon adsorption method
Use activated carbon to eliminate odors on particleboard furniture, as activated carbon has excellent adsorption properties and is highly effective at removing toxins. Furthermore, activated carbon is safe for human use.
3、Using salt water
Using salt water can also remove odors from furniture with finger joints. Place appropriate amounts of salt in two separate basins, then add water, and place these basins in the room with furniture having finger joints. This will eliminate the odors from the furniture.
4、Ventilation Method
This ensures proper ventilation, which can reduce the concentration of harmful substances in furniture components, thereby minimizing the negative health effects caused by odors from furniture.
5、Using overnight tea
Dry the overnight tea thoroughly, then place the tea directly on the furniture surface. This method effectively removes odors.
6、Use vinegar
First, prepare a basin. Then, pour a specific amount of water into the basin, followed by an appropriate amount of vinegar. Place the basin next to the new furniture's joints. This will help eliminate any odors present in the joint areas.
7、Use pineapple
Place pineapples in every corner of the room. Pineapples are fibrous fruits, and their fragrance can effectively mask odors from particleboard furniture. Additionally, some components in pineapples have excellent properties for absorbing paint odors.
