Duh that perfume that Arab wannabes douse themselves with like it’s free is more polluting.

Actually don't even have to douse themselves with synthetic chemicals. Just apply some under own nose is more than enough. Like how you apply medical ointment. Ownself shiok the smell, don't need to waste money.

Have you ever brought home a new piece of furniture and noticed a strong, foul-smelling odor that sticks around for days, even weeks? Thanks to something called volatile organic compounds (or VOCs), it’s not uncommon.

VOCs are essentially chemical compounds—many of them human-made—with high vapor pressure and low water solubility, so they’re often used as industrial solvents for products like paint, office equipment, building materials, and furnishings.

VOCs evaporate over time (some take longer than others, but they generally peak with new products), becoming a gas at room temperature and releasing into the air through a process known as “off-gassing.”

The smell could be coming from your upholstery being treated with flame retardants, chemicals to protect the fabric, or the varnish from your wooden furniture. These solvents range from trichloroethylene and fuel oxygenates to chloroform and formaldehyde.

They probably used that stuff to gas Syrians and Kurds back in the day.

Cannot rent an ozone generator like they use in hotels to deodorise rooms and use for degassing purpose?

paint also got plenty VOCs releases slowly

if your old house few decades old ... now kena renovated , must be a lot of asbestos residue from past construction materials

even now also still got stuffs with asbestos after banning some

i use xiaomi purifier with green filter that specifically for formaldehyde removal

Can share the model here? Thanks!

Only buy product with low or now VOC.

Make sure you keep windows open give it air

last time i rmbr we go to a newly painted rstaaurant makan

fuuuu the smell so bad.. i was only lik 10 , still rmbr till now

i think my IQ drop after inhaling the fumes

Must be low quality material especially from china import.. all jibai smelly one..

All the smell is sticking at the surface of the mdf board. U need to use wet cloth to wipe the surface a few time, use hair dryer dry it and keep it ventilate for 1 week

It usually came from strong smell at the carpentry cabinet/gum.

If you using Signature which their cabinet are pre-module from the factory i think the damage are lesser than those who cut on-site.

I bought a new BMW before
And a new honda

New bmw, no smell at all, fresh and good
Honda new, choking smell of VOC plastic/gum/leather smell for at least 6 mths

Only way is through ventilation and put water bucket to absorb

Just buy 30kg activated charcoal and put everywhere

yeah.. material wise, activated charcoal or ionizer would do the job..
boost the activated charcoal/ionizer with ventilation fan to get those voc, this ought to speed up the job.

Dont play play with formaldehyde

Can make ur kid sick, or worst, get cancer
