You can speed up the process of the rubber releasing vocs by using the natural power of the sun.
Rugs voc how to air out.
Solar heat causes rubber to release also referred to as out gassing or off gassing vocs and it doesn t cost you a thing to put this method to use.
I researched your question further because you sparked my curiosity what i found out is that hand tufted rugs are glued with latex glue that does off gas chemicals.
Yet as i began exploring about all the chemicals that were inside the air i breathe i quickly realized that vocs are indeed a major issue.
One of the best things you can do to decrease vocs and off gassing in your home is to purify your air.
High quality air purifiers are an excellent way to remove vocs like formaldehyde from your indoor air.
It sounds like something that wasn t really no voc was applied along the way.
Off gas volatile organic compounds voc s into the air contributing to indoor air pollution.
And if you just bought a new home vocs should be a concern for you as well.
That can be as simple as opening the windows or turning on some fans so the air circulates moving the vocs out and bringing fresh clean air in or it can be that you purchase air purifiers for your home.
Even better if you place some fans in the room to help circulate the air so the odor will fade away.
There is at least one big advantage that the air outside the house has over the air inside the house.
Earlier we explained that the rubber odor you smell is the rubber releasing vocs.
When the voc molecules go out the window they are finally gone.
Open the windows and put fans in the room turned up to their highest settings.
Until then they are still in the home.
However you may wonder if there are other ways to get rid of indoor air vocs without using an air purifier.
It is better to buy a hand knotted rug.
Keep the door to the room closed.
After this just giving your carpet a good vacuuming might be enough to get rid of any odor still hanging around.
On a sunny day the air outside the house comes with a good dose of ultraviolet radiation from the sun while ultraviolet rays are not so great for your skin it turns out that they are good disinfectants they kill bacteria so if you haul a rug to a sunny spot on the driveway so that it gets.
If it isn t sprinkle baking soda on the carpet let it sit for 24 hours then vacuum again.
Maybe you don t like the look of an air purifier or perhaps you only need air purification for a short time during a renovation or remodeling job.
Just months ago vocs volatile organic compounds were of little concern to me.
