How To Remove Paint Smell
Many who purchase a new home or remolded home, find out the hard way once they move in, of the challenges of coping with paint fumes and paint odors. General contractors and painting contractors fear airing out a home during the painting and finishing stages, because of the damage that dirt and dust can do to a freshly painted wall. HVAC systems and furnace units are also left off during the painting stage, to prevent particles and construction debris from clogging the unit up. This means for a period of a week or so there is no air flow or air exchanges taking place inside of your home, allowing the paint fumes to build and become more corrosive over time. This article will go over what you can do to remove paint smell from your home as well as the chemical odors and VOCs associated with paint.What makes paint smell?
