    It's not uncommon for new sofas to emit some smell. To better solve this problem, we need to understand what causes this smell.

    The smell of the sofa material itself: The material of the new sofa, such as leather, fabric, etc., often has some natural odors, which are not harmful chemicals and can be gradually alleviated by ventilation.

    The impact of packaging and storage: new sofas need to be packaged after they are made, and this process may cause the sofa to produce a certain degree of odor; In addition, if the sofa is not properly ventilated during transport and storage, it can also develop odors.

    Effect of chemical composition: Some chemical components may be added to some sofas to increase the elasticity, hardness and other characteristics of the sofa. However, these chemical ingredients may give off a more auspicious and pungent odor.

    So, how do we deal with the smell of our new sofa? Here are some suggestions:

    Ventilation: Place your new sofa in a well-ventilated area to allow the smell to dissipate.

    Formaldehyde testing: If the odor is heavy, you can consider formaldehyde testing to ensure that the new sofa does not contain harmful substances such as formaldehyde that are harmful to human health.

    Cleaning: If it is a fabric sofa, you can use a neutral detergent or lysate for deep cleaning. However, if it is a leather sofa, it should be cleaned with a special leather care product.

    Use adsorbents: There are many adsorbents on the market that target sofa odors (such as bamboo charcoal, activated carbon, etc.) that can help eliminate odors.

    In general, odors are not a big problem for new sofas, and with proper treatment methods such as ventilation, formaldehyde detection, cleaning or the use of adsorbents, odors can be effectively removed and the quality of the indoor environment can be improved.

    1. The smell of the sofa is mainly caused by the sponge inside, and the leather sofa also smells of leather.

    2. The absorption effect of activated carbon is limited and not very good. Generally, the smell of the sofa is the smell of the sponge inside, or the smell of the leather on the surface.

    3. If you want to remove it, you can spray some Diarin herbs to remove it, and you can decompose it by spraying it directly on the sofa surface and the sea surface inside. Just buy it and put it in more, and it will be tasteless.
