How to deal with the special smell in the house after replacing the cast iron pipe in the old community

It is quite common that there is a special smell in the house after the cast iron pipe is replaced in the old community. This smell is usually caused by volatile compounds emitted by newly cast iron pipes. To deal with this problem, you can try the following methods:

1. ventilation: open the window and let fresh air into the room to help dispel the smell. Using tools such as air purifier can accelerate air convection and purification.

2. Cleaning and disinfection: use appropriate detergents and disinfectants to clean the floors, walls, furniture and other surfaces in the house to remove the odor substances that may remain.

3. Plant adsorption: Some indoor plants, such as ivy, aloe, chlorophytum, etc., have strong adsorption capacity and can be placed indoors to adsorb odor.

4. Activated carbon adsorption: put some activated carbon at home to absorb odor. Activated carbon has strong adsorption capacity and can effectively remove the odor in the air.

5. Time and patience: Under normal circumstances, the odor of new cast iron pipes will gradually decrease with time. So as long as you keep ventilation and wait patiently for a period of time, the odor is likely to gradually disappear.

It should be noted that the above method may take some time and continuous efforts to completely remove odor. If the odor still exists or becomes more serious after a period of time, it is recommended to consult professionals, such as decoration companies or residential property management departments, for more professional help.
