We often buy plush toys of subpar quality, emitting a smell of formaldehyde. How should we remove these smells?

Firstly, fivestartoy would like to advise everyone to check whether the plush toys are of inferior quality before purchasing. We have introduced specific detection methods in our previous articles. If the purchased plush toys emit a formaldehyde smell, it can basically explain that this plush toy may not have been made and tested very carefully. We suggest throwing away such toys when we encounter them.

However, many parents still say that this plush toy has a very important meaning or the child particularly likes it and can’t throw it away. Then, the doll master will tell you how to remove the formaldehyde smell from the toys!

1. Ventilation This is very important. We usually don’t put such plush toys indoors, but should put the toys in a ventilated place as much as possible, let the flowing air take away the formaldehyde as much as possible, which is more effective for eliminating the smell of formaldehyde.
2. Use Formaldehyde Remover We can buy some formaldehyde removers to deodorize such plush toys, but as another kind of chemical, we must buy formaldehyde removers through regular channels. Don’t be greedy for cheap, otherwise, it will not only have no effect but may also intensify the harmful gases emitted by the toys!
3. Water Washing Method Formaldehyde can dissolve in water, so we can soak the plush toys in water, and achieve a certain effect of removing formaldehyde by changing the water multiple times. However, the proportion of formaldehyde dissolved in water is very low, and the effect of this method is not very good, but even so, it is good to remove some formaldehyde as much as possible, and it is also good to match the previous methods.

The above are just three common methods to remove formaldehyde. However, there is no particularly effective method to remove formaldehyde at present, so the doll master still needs to advise parents to throw away these toys in time to prevent these toys from harming children!
