When the textile is exposed to the air for a long time, due to the volatility of formaldehyde, it will be continuously released and pollute the indoor environment. In particular, some residential windows nowadays are relatively large, such as floor-to-ceiling windows and viewing windows. This is why some homes pay special attention to controlling formaldehyde pollution during renovation. However, after the renovation, one of the reasons for excessive formaldehyde in the room will still be found. Then, when doing interior decoration, how can I buy formaldehyde curtains to prevent formaldehyde? If the product emits a pungent odor, there may be formaldehyde residue, it is best not to buy. When choosing a color, it is advisable to purchase a light color, so that the risk of formaldehyde and dyeing fastness is lower. Care should also be taken when purchasing fabrics and curtains that have been retracted, wrinkle-resistant, soft, and flat. The curtains that are bought should be thoroughly soaked in water and washed to reduce the amount of formaldehyde remaining on the fabric. In addition to curtains, some sheets, quilts, and other textiles that come into direct contact with the skin also contain formaldehyde, which must be washed and reused. After washing, it is best to dry the curtains in an outdoor ventilated place and then use them. If there are more windows in the room, you can choose curtains of different materials, such as blinds, roller blinds and so on.
Newly bought curtains should be fully soaked
In the production process of curtains and other textiles, in order to improve the wrinkle resistance of the fabric, improve the waterproof performance and pressure resistance of the textile, and improve the color fastness, improve the fireproof performance, etc., conventional additives such as artificial resin are often added to the fabric. In the process of textile printing and finishing, various dyes, auxiliaries and finishing agents are added, and the resin contained therein contains formaldehyde. These formaldehyde-containing resins will remain after finishing and will release formaldehyde. In general, textiles with finishes and coatings have a higher formaldehyde content.
