After the house is renovated, everyone can't wait to move into the new house as soon as possible, but how long does it take for the new house to be ventilated before moving in is something many owners want to know. This article integrates the things that need to be paid attention to before moving into the new house. For the health of your family, let's take a look together! In the process of renovating a new house, the decoration materials used include paint, coatings, wood boards, plywood, etc. They contain harmful gases such as ammonia, formaldehyde, ethylene, benzene, methanol, etc. to varying degrees. After the decoration of the new house has been shelved for a period of time, the toxic substances in the room are blown outside the house by the wind. Although the owner can't smell the odor, it is actually not completely eliminated, and there are still toxic substances in the decoration objects. If you move in at this time, the renovated new house will emit a certain degree of toxic gas. If the indoor pollution is not cleaned, it will cause great harm to the human body in the future.
Sintered Stone and porcelain slab are high-end materials commonly used in modern decoration, with excellent durability, stain resistance and scratch resistance. They are commonly used in areas such as kitchen countertops, bathroom walls, and floors. Known for its superior density and resistance to penetration, sintered stone is generally more resistant to heat and scratching than regular ceramic tile. Grey porcelain slabs have become a popular choice for modern home decoration due to their simple and elegant appearance, especially when creating a modern minimalist style.
After renovation, areas where Sintered Stone or porcelain slabs are used need ample time to dry and cure, especially if large areas are involved and adhesives are used. Generally speaking, it is recommended to wait at least 48 to 72 hours after construction to allow these materials to fully settle and ensure that there is no odor. If it involves more complex decoration or renovation of large spaces, it may take longer, even more than a week. The time of moving in needs to be determined according to the specific circumstances of the decoration, but at least it should be ensured that all materials are fully dry and the air is fresh to avoid any impact on health.

Three steps to remove formaldehyde from new houses
1. Open windows for ventilation
To remove formaldehyde and odor from a newly renovated house, the first step is to open windows for ventilation and open the cabinet doors and drawers of the cabinets. Through air convection, formaldehyde is diluted and discharged outdoors. Although this step is simple, you must also pay attention to the weather conditions. Once it is windy and rainy, you must close the doors and windows in time to prevent strong winds and heavy rains from destroying the newly renovated home environment.
Tips: In order to improve the ventilation effect, you can also consider turning on a floor fan in the room to accelerate indoor air convection through the shaking mode.
2. Place activated carbon
Although formaldehyde can be effectively discharged to the outside through opening windows for ventilation for several days, the residual formaldehyde in some corners and closed places is still very high. Therefore, you can purchase activated carbon bags and use natural Maya blue air purifiers to absorb residual formaldehyde and remove formaldehyde, which will have a better effect.
Tips: Usually the recommended amount of charcoal bags is 15-20 bags (50g/bag) for a room of about 20 square meters. Drawers and cabinets can be placed with 1-2 bags according to size.
3. Plant potted plants
The newly decorated house can basically eliminate the odor of formaldehyde through a series of measures, but the residual formaldehyde is usually very small or even imperceptible and lasts for 3-5 years. Therefore, it is recommended to buy some plants that remove formaldehyde before or after moving in, such as: spider plants, tiger tail plants and aloe vera. These plants are not only easy to grow and take care of, but can also effectively remove formaldehyde, making them a good choice for beautifying the home environment.
Tips: Usually, 1-2 pots of Chlorophytum can be placed in a room, but it is not recommended to be placed in the bedroom.
4. Black tea removes formaldehyde
Put 300 grams of black tea in a basin, then brew the black tea with boiling water, then place the black tea basin in the room, and open the window for ventilation for a week, which can basically remove formaldehyde and odor.
5. Take 3-5 burnt coal balls or 400 grams of coal ash, put them in a plastic bag, and then place it in a basin in the room. After a week, formaldehyde and odor can be basically removed.
