How to Remove Formaldehyde in a Car?
2 Answers
Methods to remove formaldehyde in a car: Thoroughly clean the car interior, use an air compressor to evenly spray photocatalyst inside the car, wait for the solvent to dry, then perform a second spray to ensure all interior components and corners are covered, and try to open windows frequently for ventilation to maintain air circulation inside the car. A car is a non-track vehicle powered by an engine, equipped with four or more wheels, primarily used for transporting passengers and goods, or towing vehicles that carry passengers and goods. Cars are divided into passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles. Passenger vehicles mainly include standard passenger cars, convertible cars, luxury cars, compact cars, roadsters, hatchbacks, station wagons, multi-purpose vehicles (MPVs), forward-control passenger cars, off-road vehicles, and special-purpose passenger cars. Commercial vehicles mainly consist of buses, semi-trailer tractors, and trucks.
Recently I got a new car, and that pungent smell is caused by formaldehyde. I make it a habit to roll down the windows for at least ten minutes before driving every day, letting fresh air circulate. I've placed several bamboo charcoal bags in the car—they work like tiny vacuum cleaners absorbing formaldehyde, but they need to be taken out regularly and sun-dried to maintain effectiveness. In the summer heat, formaldehyde evaporates faster, so I park in the shade and leave all the doors open for half a day to air it out. For a more professional solution, I spent some money on a photocatalyst treatment, which breaks down formaldehyde into harmless substances. After a few months of use, the materials stabilize and the smell fades, but early-stage treatment shouldn't be neglected to avoid respiratory issues. Ventilation is the easiest method—just stick with it.
