The service, in detail
A formaldehyde removal service that shows its work
Source treatment of every piece of carpentry and furniture, verified by calibrated meter readings before and after — because "it smells better" is not a result you can trust your family's health to.
What the treatment actually does
The formaldehyde in a renovated home is not floating in from outside — it is manufactured into the urea-formaldehyde resins that bind plywood, MDF, particleboard and many laminates. Heat and humidity hydrolyse those resins, releasing formaldehyde gas continuously for years. Any service that only "cleans the air" treats the symptom.
Our treatment works at the source. Technicians apply a water-based photocatalytic coating to carpentry surfaces, wardrobe and cabinet interiors, and exposed board edges — the highest-emission points. Activated by ordinary indoor light, the catalyst oxidises formaldehyde into trace water and carbon dioxide on contact, and keeps doing so continuously. Dedicated neutralisers are used on soft furnishings, curtains and mattresses that absorb and re-release formaldehyde.
What the readings mean
Every visit starts and ends with room-by-room measurements on a calibrated professional meter — not the consumer handhelds sold online, whose sensors cross-react with alcohol and humidity. Readings are benchmarked against the WHO indoor guideline of 0.1 mg/m³, the same limit used by Singapore's SS 554 standard. A typical just-renovated bedroom reads 0.24mg/m³ before treatment; the after-target for every room is 0.06mg/m³ or lower, with the guideline as the hard ceiling.
The guarantee, in plain terms
Off-gassing does not stop the day we leave — treatment cuts the release rate so levels stay in the safe range. If any room in your home reads above 0.10 mg/m³ within 30 days of treatment, we return and re-treat at no charge, and re-measure until it holds. The trigger is the meter reading, nothing subjective.

Questions about the service
What chemicals do you use, and are they safe?
We use water-based decomposition agents: a photocatalyst that keeps working under normal indoor light, plus targeted neutralisers for carpentry interiors and soft furnishings. They are neutral once cured. The home should be vacated during treatment and ventilated for 12–24 hours afterwards, after which it is safe for children, pregnant women and pets.
Why treat the source instead of using an air purifier?
Purifiers with activated carbon capture some airborne formaldehyde, but the source — resins inside your carpentry — keeps releasing it around the clock for years. Filters saturate and become ineffective, often without any indication. Source treatment breaks formaldehyde down where it is generated, which is why post-treatment readings stay down.
Does one treatment last, or will I need repeat visits?
One whole-home treatment is the norm. Off-gassing continues at a much-reduced rate after treatment, which is exactly what the 30-day re-treatment guarantee covers: if any room rises back above the WHO guideline of 0.1 mg/m³, we return free. Repeat paid visits are rare and we will tell you honestly if your carpentry density makes a second pass likely.
How should I prepare my home for treatment?
Open wardrobe doors and drawers, clear surfaces you want treated, and plan for everyone (including pets) to be out during the visit and for 12–24 hours of ventilation afterwards. We handle the rest, including moving light furniture back.
