How to Remove Formaldehyde from Cars?
2 Answers
Activated carbon is internationally recognized as an excellent absorber of toxic substances, capable of adsorbing harmful gases such as formaldehyde and benzene. Photocatalyst is a high-quality product for removing formaldehyde, which can decompose harmful substances like formaldehyde in the air into carbon dioxide and water.
The most annoying thing about a brand-new car is that strong formaldehyde smell! From my experience, focus on ventilation for the first two months: lower all four windows slightly and tilt the sunroof for airflow before heading to work—do the same even in underground parking. Sun exposure works best—drive to an open area on weekends, open all doors and windows, and let it bake under 37°C heat for three hours; it’s equivalent to a week’s worth of ventilation. Don’t skimp on activated charcoal—stuff ten packs under seats and in trunk corners, then air them out for a day each month. Forget about using pomelo peels or perfumes to mask odors; that’s just self-deception. After six months of driving, I tested with a detector last week—finally dropped to 0.03.
