Formaldehyde Removal Service in Singapore: How It Works & What to Expect

Formaldehyde Removal Service in Singapore: How It Works & What to Expect

Formaldehyde is a harmful chemical commonly released after renovation from materials such as furniture, cabinetry, flooring, paint, and adhesives. In Singapore’s enclosed indoor environments, formaldehyde can accumulate easily and significantly affect indoor air quality.

Even when visible renovation dust is removed, formaldehyde and other VOCs can continue to be emitted for months—sometimes years—making professional formaldehyde removal an important step before moving in.

What Is Formaldehyde Removal?

Formaldehyde removal is a specialised indoor air treatment process designed to break down formaldehyde VOC gas by treating walls, custom cabinetry, and wooden furniture surfaces. We utilise a coating that specifically targets and breaks down harmful formaldehyde gas that may remain after your renovation.

Unlike air fresheners or basic air purifiers, professional formaldehyde removal systems remove the bulk of the emissions within surfaces such as wood, laminate, fabrics, and built-in carpentry.

How Formaldehyde Removal Works

Professional formaldehyde removal services typically involve a structured treatment process, which may include:

• Indoor air quality assessment to understand contamination level

• Application of catalytic chemical treatments to treated surfaces

• Ongoing breakdown of formaldehyde molecules into harmless substances

• formaldehyde (HCHO) level measurement to compare before-and-after results

  
  

When performed correctly by trained professionals, this process is safe for families, children, and pets.

What to Expect After Treatment

After professional formaldehyde removal, homeowners typically experience:

✔ Significantly reduced formaldehyde concentration

✔ Noticeably improved indoor air quality

✔ Reduced chemical odour from new furniture and renovations

✔ A safer environment for long-term occupancy

This helps create a home that is not just visually clean, but also healthier to live in.

When Should You Consider Formaldehyde Removal?

Formaldehyde removal is strongly recommended:

• After renovation or major carpentry installation

• Before moving into a new or newly renovated home

• If there is a persistent chemical or “new house” odour

• For households with children, elderly family members, or sensitive individuals

• For families concerned about long-term indoor air quality

  
  

Formaldehyde removal is not simply a cleaning service. It is an investment in long-term health, comfort, and peace of mind.

Why Formaldehyde Removal Is Especially Important in Singapore

In Singapore’s climate and building conditions, homes are often air-conditioned and enclosed, limiting natural ventilation. This allows chemical pollutants such as formaldehyde to build up and linger longer, making ventilation alone insufficient.

Professional treatment helps address what windows and fans cannot.
