Re: Unpleasant Smell in Newly Remodeled HomesI'm looking for new cabinets and find it difficult to get cabinets free of VOC . The cabinet boxes are made of plywood and the bonding has VOC in it. The stain and coating also contain VOC. I was told the non VOC stain and coating are not working as well as the conventional materials yet. So, I don't have much choice on the boxes. I can choose either the low VOC water base stain and coating or the one with VOC. It's a tough decision.
Re: Unpleasant Smell in Newly Remodeled HomesI think people should avoid buying new furnishings before the winter come. Because almost everybody close their windows in the winter keeping the heat in and at the same time keeping the nasty chemicals in.
Re: Unpleasant Smell in Newly Remodeled Homessometimes carpets can create smell with the moisture. This moisture can produce with the humidity. Continuous moisture can create the bad smell in the room.

Re: Unpleasant Smell in Newly Remodeled HomesI wouldn't use air freshener. Air freshener only masks the oder but does not remove the chemicals that produce the odor. Air freshener itself contains chemicals that may not be good for you. The natural way to getting rid of odor opening windows and adding a blower fan to ventilate the home will remove the cause of the odor.
Re: Unpleasant Smell in Newly Remodeled HomesThanks to you for sharing the pics of home. In my opinion about that topic, people should avoid buying new furnishings before the winter come. Because almost everybody closes their windows in the winter keeping the heat in and at the same time keeping the nasty chemicals in.
Re: Unpleasant Smell in Newly Remodeled HomesEven, we have paint our house and I also found smell at home. I know this smell come from paint. But, perhaps if we use some branded paints to paint specially our house door & windows. So, there is less possibilities for this unusual smell.
Re: Unpleasant Smell in Newly Remodeled HomesI think it should be a small of paints which will be gone after some time.
Re: Unpleasant Smell in Newly Remodeled HomesThis is because of the flooring (laminate/wooden flooring). Don't be obsessed with it. It's normal.
Re: Unpleasant Smell in Newly Remodeled HomesAll paints have smell. It's the chemicals in the paint you're smelling. I suggest you to open the windows as long as you can untill all the smell is gone completely.
