Choosing a formaldehyde removal service or product requires careful consideration to ensure you get effective, safe, and long-lasting results. Here’s a guide to help you choose the right formaldehyde removal solution:

1. Expertise & Experience

• Look for specialists: Choose a company or service with expertise in formaldehyde removal and indoor air quality improvement. Check their years of experience and customer reviews.

• Certified technicians: Ensure the provider has trained and certified professionals for the job, as this ensures they can accurately measure and treat formaldehyde levels.

2. Test Before Treatment

• Initial air quality test: A reliable service should offer a formaldehyde level test before proposing any treatment. This helps to determine whether your space needs treatment in the first place.

• Waiver of testing fee: Some companies, like Freshome, waive the testing fee if treatment is needed and chosen, which can save you money.

3. Types of Treatment Solutions

• Chemical-free or non-toxic products: Choose treatments that use non-toxic, eco-friendly, or chemical-free products that are safe for you, your family, and pets.

• Proven formaldehyde adsorbents: Products like Freshome Formaldehyde Adsorbent FG-S6S-STAR specifically target formaldehyde emissions by coating plywood and other engineered woods to reduce harmful gas release.

4. Long-lasting Results

• Look for patented technology: Choose products or treatments that offer long-lasting results and use advanced technology, like Freshome’s patented formaldehyde adsorbent.

• Guarantee: Check if the provider offers a performance guarantee or warranty on their service to ensure you get effective, sustained reduction of formaldehyde.

5. Cost Considerations

• Compare quotes: Formaldehyde removal can vary in cost, so get quotes from different companies. For example, Freshome offers a range of treatments starting around RM 1800 for standard-sized homes.

• Check for hidden fees: Make sure to understand what's included in the quote. Some companies might charge extra for multiple rooms or treatments that go beyond the standard offering.

6. Customer Support & Aftercare

• Responsive customer service: A reliable company should offer prompt support before, during, and after the service. Ask if they provide follow-up air quality tests after the treatment to confirm results.

• Customized solutions: A good company will assess the unique conditions of your home or office and propose tailored treatment plans based on the formaldehyde levels and materials used in the space.

7. References & Reviews

• Check testimonials and case studies: See what others are saying about the service. Look for reviews from previous clients who had similar formaldehyde concerns.

Formaldehyde is a chemical used in many household products like furniture, flooring, and adhesives. Although it's useful in manufacturing, it can release gas into your home, which may be harmful. You might think you can detect formaldehyde by its smell, but the gas is actually odorless. This means you can’t rely on your nose to know if it's there. Instead of trying to eliminate a smell that doesn’t exist, it's important to focus on removing the formaldehyde gas itself. 

What Is Formaldehyde and Why Is It a Concern?

Formaldehyde is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can be released (or off-gas) from products made with it. Despite being odorless, formaldehyde is still a significant concern because it can cause various health issues. Exposure to formaldehyde can lead to symptoms like headaches, respiratory problems, and irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat. Long-term exposure has even been linked to an increased risk of certain cancers.

Given these risks, it's essential to address the presence of formaldehyde gas in your home, even if you can't smell it.

Steps to Remove Formaldehyde Gas

1. Increase Ventilation:

   • One of the simplest and most effective ways to reduce formaldehyde levels is by increasing ventilation. Open windows and use fans to circulate fresh air through your home, helping to dissipate the gas.

2. Use Air Purifiers:

   • Activated carbon filters can help capture formaldehyde molecules from the air. Look for air purifiers specifically designed to remove VOCs, including formaldehyde.

3. Use Formaldehyde Adsorbents:

   • There are products specifically designed to absorb formaldehyde, such as formaldehyde scavengers. These can be placed in areas with high formaldehyde emissions to neutralize the chemical.

4. Consider Replacement:

   • In some cases, especially if you have sensitive individuals in your household, replacing formaldehyde-emitting items with alternatives made from solid wood or low-VOC materials might be the best option.

When to Seek Professional Help

If the formaldehyde gas levels remain high despite your efforts, or if you’re concerned about the health risks, consider consulting a professional. Indoor air quality experts can test formaldehyde levels in your home and recommend targeted solutions to reduce or eliminate the gas.

近来，有客户问我们是否用高温熏蒸（Steam Cleaning) 的方式来治理室内甲醛污染。我们就来讨论这个课题。

甲醛的挥发点是19°C 。室内温度越高，甲醛的挥发速度就越快，室内的甲醛超标物就会更严重。根据这个理论，就有人想到用高温熏蒸的方法来除甲醛。

但是，高温熏蒸的的高温是短暂的，局部的，无法给甲醛根源连续充分的热能。所以，高温熏蒸除甲醛没有多大的作用。另外，我们必须承认高温熏蒸是一个短期的过程，治理后出现甲醛浓度反弹的机率很高。因此，高温熏蒸并不能彻底，持久，高效的清除甲醛污染 。

而且，高温熏蒸还可能对家具带来破坏。在中国就有发生过客户选用高温熏蒸除甲醛的方法，造成板材膨胀翘边的事情 。

FRESHOME 甲醛吸附分解剂是目前实际应用效果最好的产品。这是基于我们6年来在对客户服务工程中除醛效果的总结。所以，装修新家，首选FRESHOME除甲醛。

屋主问：“有什么甲醛消除剂可以涂刷在有饰面的板材表面？”

我们问 ：“为什么要在这些表面涂刷甲醛消除剂呢？”

屋主回答：“要消除从板材释放出来的甲醛啊。“

我们问：”那些隐藏在橱柜背面，面对墙壁而且没有饰面的板材才是释放大量甲醛的根源，你要如何处理？“

屋主：”........"

大量的甲醛从裸面的板材释放出来，在房间累积。当累积到高浓度的时候，就有可能会面对眼睛干燥、呼吸不舒服、皮肤敏感等症状。

所以说，单单在有饰面的板材表面涂刷甲醛消除剂，是不足够的。

Freshome专业治理甲醛污染的服务，会在房子的每个表面涂刷一层日本除醛专利产品的涂层，让房子可以持续吸附与分解室内的甲醛，把甲醛降到最低点。

女屋主即将分娩，为了确保孩子能够在一个健康的环境成长，选了我们上门进行甲醛污染检测。

Q1. 房子的甲醛浓度有超标吗？

A1. DOSH建议的室内甲醛浓度指数是在0.1ppm或以下。检测后，每个空间的甲醛浓度都在健康水平。

Q2. 没有味道，没有眼睛干燥症状，就没有面对室内甲醛污染吗？

A2. 我们每个人的体质都不一样，对甲醛的敏感度也有差别。在0.7ppm（超标7倍）的指数，一些人已经感觉到眼睛干燥了，一些人反而没有感觉。最安全的做法就是采用专业的甲醛检测仪做检测，确保家里是否面对甲醛污染。

眼睛干燥的症状是身体自我保护的反应吗？它是否在呐喊：“赶快离开这个空间”？

如果没有症状，却一样在0.7ppm的空间呼吸，肺部或许也会在求救吧？

味道不一定 是甲醛。所以，味道很大不等于甲醛污染很严重。

甲醛是无色，但带有刺激性气味的气体。人体在甲醛污染空间的反应有个体差异，有些人很敏感，有些人不敏感。敏感的人很快会察觉，所以他 #反而更安全。

主要的人体反应有眼睛不适、皮肤敏感、喉咙不适等症状。

通过专业检测仪，就能够检测出你的房子是否面对甲醛污染。

通常情况下，甲醛是无色屋味的。

当你可以闻道少许异味时，甲醛浓度多数已经超标2-3 倍了。这个时候，你也可能会开始觉得喉咙不舒服，轻微咳嗽。严重的话，还会引起眼睛干涩、流眼泪。一些人也会头晕。

【甲醛】属于世界公认一级致癌物。经呼吸系统进入人体的甲醛，可以通过肺泡交换迅速进入血液，对人体伤害很大。

如果长期接触甲醛，或者大剂量接触甲醛，的确会增加患血癌的风险。
