Haze smell has become a common problem in many building in Singapore. Many residents are actually frustrated with this odor which keeps on interfering with their daily activities. Smoking odors are actually the hardest odors to eliminate and many people have actually wondered if it really possible to eliminate haze smell in aircon complex building. The answer is yes, below are tips on how to effectively eliminate haze smell in an aircon complex building.
1. Ensure that the aircon is in perfect condition
An air conditioner not only helps to cool the building but
also helps to purify the air as well as other contaminant like dust, airborne mites
and pollen. Aircons use activated carbon, sophisticated filtration systems or an
oxidation device that enables it to get rid of hazy smell in a particular building.
The air conditioner is supposed to be in a perfect condition for it to effectively
get rid of hazy smell that is increasingly becoming a major concern to many Singapore
residents. Conduct regular inspection to the aircon system and ensure that the
aircon filter is regularly changed. If possible, ensure that the aircon unit is
inspected by a professional at least once every month.
2. Use green cleaners
What many Singapore residents don’t know is that most cleaners
they use contain chemical that remain in the air for long period after they
have finished using them. Instead of helping to eliminate the haze smell problem,
such cleaners actually become part of the problem. Using natural cleaning
products made from plants and natural minerals will greatly help to get rid of
haze smell in an aircon building complex. Natural cleaning product doesn’t contain
chemicals that remain in the air for long period of time. When used together with
an efficient aircon unit, they can really help to get rid of haze smell.
3. Conduct thorough cleaning
Doing thorough cleaning is one of the best ways to get rid
of haze smell especially the smell that has found its way into carpet, ceiling
and the walls. Even if you don’t actually see the haze of smoke, smoke smell
will still come from accumulated particles of soot from the building. The best
way to clean out the soot built up is by scrubbing the ceiling and walls, shampooing
the carpets and spaying a bit of deodorizing spray .Proper cleaning of the
building will greatly help to get rid of haze smell that an aircon unit cannot
remove.
4. Ensure that building is well aerated
Gaseous substance
like haze smoke need proper circulation of air for it to dissipate. The longer
the haze smell lingers in a building the more the smell ages and undergoes some
chemical changes that can potentially turn into health hazard. A room filled
with haze smell can actually suffocate individuals who have sensitive sense of smell.
Indoor air pollution is actually worse than the pollution outside. It is
therefore better to let a little of that outside air in. Ensure that all in the
building windows are opened to allow free circulation of air. This will also ease
the burden of the aircon unit in the building.
5. Keep humidity level low
If the level of humidity in the building is high, the haze
smell cannot easily dissipate into the air. Humidity is a major obstacle when
it comes to getting rid of haze smell. Using exhaust fans, de-humidifiers, opening
the doors and windows and also using air conditioner can greatly help to keep
humidity levels low thus allowing the haze smell to dissipate into the air
faster.
6. Try activated charcoal
Scientific research shows that activated charcoal is
actually one of the best deodorizer and neutralizer available on the market
today. Also known as activated carbon, this special charcoal works by absorbing
particles that accumulates on the surface of an abject. Activated charcoal is
very affective because they have a large surface area that enables it to absorb
carbon particles effectively. Haze smell is actually made up of different
carbon compound that can be affectively absorbed by activated charcoal. To get
best results, place small amount of pure activated carbon on ashtrays or moist saucers
and leave it inside the building overnight. You will actually be surprised the
next morning on how it will have affectively absorbed all the haze smoke from
the building.
