I tested my home for formaldehyde after renovation and i am shocked…
17
Ever since I had a baby at home, I became much more careful about the environment we live in, especially when it comes to air quality. One thing I realized many people overlooked is formaldehyde. It may not be something we can see, but it can seriously affect our health, especially for babies, young children, and pregnant women who are much more sensitive to it. Too much exposure to formaldehyde can cause breathing problems, skin irritation, headaches, dizziness, and even long term damage to the respiratory system. After reading so many scary stories about babies being affected by high formaldehyde levels after renovation, I knew this was something I could not ignore. I wanted to make sure my home was truly safe and that the formaldehyde level was within a healthy range for my family. So what is formaldehyde? It is a type of chemical found in adhesives which are commonly used in carpentry, especially plywood which exists in wardrobes, cabinets and built-in furniture. To give you more information on why formaldehyde is found in adhesive and is being used on plywood, it is to create a thicker, gluey, slimy texture, which makes the adhesive STRONGER and helps it stick better onto plywood. Non-formaldehyde adhesive on the other hand, tends to be more watery and less sticky, so they may not give the same strong hold and furniture might not last as long. (Though it is generally less toxic to human) I was so relieved to find UCOATE formaldehyde removal spray as it helps reduce and remove formaldehyde concerns, giving me much more peace of mind, especially with a baby at home and air quality being such a big priority for us. 
Can you believe it? Even though this adhesive was labeled as “formaldehyde-free,” my husband was still very skeptical with what the contractor showed us. We noticed a strong pungent smell in the kitchen which made us question whether the formaldehyde levels were really safe for our baby and family. The truth is, many adhesive that claim that they are formaldehyde free may still contain small amounts of formaldehyde or formaldehyde-releasing chemicals. The specialist from UCOATE shared with me that adhesive that are completely formaldehyde-free are usually much more expensive and less commonly used in renovation work. 
The UCOATE specialist first came to my house with a formaldehyde meter and did a proper reading test on the spot before using the formaldehyde removal spray. This was upon my request as i was so worried about whether this spray works like what it claims to do As expected, before spraying, the reading showed 4.2ppm at one of the cabinets in the kitchen area, it is very high and dangerous for us. The safe and healthy range should be 0.08ppm, any reading above 0.1ppm can cause irritation and above 0.3ppm is considered dangerous⚠️ Do note that this spray takes at least a week to bring down the formaldehyde levels. The specialist also did mention that as the formaldehyde level was too high, it does takes time to bring it down to a healthy level, but without active intervention, this reduction could take much longer, up to 3 years and above. I could not imagine having to compromise my family’s health and breathe in toxic air for the next 3 years if i had not engaged them. 
One week after the spraying, the formaldehyde reading dropped to 0.14ppm. The specialist explained that this is already considered quite low for newly renovated cabinets. Since the cabinets are usually kept closed and babies won’t have constant access to them, it is generally much safer. For the best result, they recommended waiting another 2–3 weeks for the level to further reduce to 0.08ppm or below. For me, this was already good enough compared to waiting 3 years for it to naturally dissipate. 
Spraying techniques! The spraying should be done twice, with a 30-minute interval between each application. Make sure to spray the back areas as well, while the outside laminate usually does not need much treatment since it is well ventilated so any formaldehyde can be dissipate naturally much faster. For the inside areas, they are more enclosed and ventilation is usually poorer, so formaldehyde gas tends to trap inside. Formaldehyde removal works by spraying a solution containing zinc oxide, which reacts with formaldehyde and helps convert it into carbon dioxide and water. This allows it to dissipate naturally in a much safer form, making the indoor environment healthier and less harmful. Honestly, I’m so glad someone invented such a brilliant solution. If you are looking for formaldehyde removal spray, you can contact UCOATE specialist Jerry at 9070 5064. They usually handle larger projects such as schools and commercial spaces, and rarely focus on personal home use, which gave me even more confidence in their reliability. If even schools trust them, it says a lot about their professionalism and effectiveness.
