Textiles said "zero formaldehyde" prices are higher than thousands of times repeated cleaning in addition to formaldehyde

At present, many new houses have entered the peak of decoration, and the furniture under the banner of "zero formaldehyde" has gained the favor of many people. Yesterday, the reporter discovered on the market that in addition to furniture, various types of bedding, curtains, tablecloths, pillows and other textiles bearing the “Zero Formaldehyde” label were also listed on the market, and the prices were significantly higher. Professionals remind that textiles containing formaldehyde are easily overlooked by consumers. The most effective method of removing formaldehyde is repeated cleaning.

Labeled "zero formaldehyde" price is more than a thousand high

"This is a new four-piece bed set of 'Zero Formaldehyde'. It is a special fabric that does not contain formaldehyde." In the bedding area on the fourth floor of a shopping mall in the neighborhood of the street, the promoters of a brand of bedding products are introduced to consumers. The new bedding is dyed with vegetable dyes, using a formaldehyde-free fabric that guarantees no formaldehyde.

The reporter noted that the same suit of the brand's four-piece bed price 1780 yuan, and this set of "formaldehyde-free" bedding price 2980 yuan, 1,200 yuan higher, the difference is that there is no special treatment of formaldehyde. When the reporter proposed to check the corresponding inspection certificate, the salesperson only took out the content of the product in the brochure.

In the furniture store, the reporter found no less than 10 textile brands under the banner of “Zero Formaldehyde”. Among them, curtains that do not contain formaldehyde are priced at more than 600 yuan per meter, which is two or three times more expensive than other curtain fabrics.

Half of the formaldehyde textiles do not know

“I only know that formaldehyde is contained in sheet furniture, paint, wallpaper, etc. I did not think that textiles also have formaldehyde!” Chen Chen, a consumer, told reporters that home decoration has been completed for four months. In order to avoid the harm of formaldehyde, she specifically selected the entire room. Solid wood furniture, which does not adhere to wallpaper, may not have taken precautionary measures on textiles.

In some of the Xudong Road's soft-packed stores, the sales staff only introduced the styles and patterns of the curtains to consumers, and did not mention whether the curtains contained formaldehyde or not. "It can be said that half of the consumers do not know that formaldehyde is contained in textiles," said a person in charge of a large home improvement company in Wuhan. He had surveyed thousands of soft-wear users. Most consumers only know that furniture contains formaldehyde. There were customers who reported having a pungent odor in their homes, suspected buying counterfeit solid wood furniture, and finally discovered that the “culprit” was actually a sofa fabric.

Formaldehyde is difficult to remove more wash is a good strategy

Jiangcheng's professional formaldehyde removal companies have said that removing textile formaldehyde is still tricky. A company introduced that the company sent people to the door, usually with a manual spray gun spraying on the furniture, but the sofa and bed products can not be sprayed: "The textile directly with the human body, can not be directly in addition to the formaldehyde spray Bed."

The relevant person in charge of the Wuhan Home Improvement Association stated that formaldehyde is soluble in water, and the best way to remove formaldehyde from textiles is to clean it and dry it, and to reduce formaldehyde after many times. In addition, the more complex the dyeing is, the higher the formaldehyde content is, and the simplest color textile can be selected as far as possible.

Links: Since January 1, 2003, China has imposed mandatory national standards to impose mandatory restrictions on the content of formaldehyde in textiles such as apparel, fabrics, and accessories. Excess textiles that exceed formaldehyde standards will not be sold on the shelves. Previously, due to the inability to meet environmental protection requirements, China’s 7.4 billion U.S. dollars in export of goods were blocked every year, and “clothing and poisonous” incidents occurred in many places.
