First of all, let's understand why curtains contain formaldehyde:
Because in the process of making curtain cloth, most manufacturers will add additives containing formaldehyde in order to make curtain cloth more wrinkle-resistant; In the printing and dyeing stage, many dyes will be added, and the components of these materials also contain formaldehyde. After the curtain cloth is exposed to direct sunlight, formaldehyde will be continuously released when the temperature rises.
What kind of curtains contain the most formaldehyde?
It is found that the brighter the color, the darker the color, and perhaps the thicker the fabric, the higher the formaldehyde content is, and it takes a long time to volatilize. Therefore, when you choose curtain cloth in the future, you can choose a lighter color. It is recommended to carry out a decoration pollution test before the home is renovated and ready to move in. If the indoor air pollution exceeds the standard, it should be dealt with in time to prevent formaldehyde and other indoor air pollutants from causing harm to you and your family.
So how should we choose curtains?
Don't buy curtains with very bright colors.
After the curtain cloth is produced, some merchants usually dye the curtain cloth with different colors in order to make the curtain cloth look better. As for those curtains that look bright, they must have been made through a very complicated printing and dyeing process. Friends who know more about the decoration agent will know that dye is a decoration agent containing a lot of formaldehyde. When we hang curtain cloth in the house, formaldehyde will volatilize continuously, which will seriously affect the indoor air quality.
Don't buy curtains with particularly complicated patterns.
We can see those curtains with complicated patterns in the market. In fact, these curtains have been processed many times. In order to maintain the stability of curtain patterns, some merchants will add some toxic substances such as artificial resin and formaldehyde that are harmful to human health. If you want to buy it, you must be mentally prepared.
Third, don't buy curtains made by small manufacturers.
This is difficult to identify, and the curtains have no particularly loud brand. Personally, I suggest going to some reliable shopping malls or markets as much as possible and buying from larger businesses. If you meet a brand you know, so much the better.
