Smoke disappears more and more in the public domain, but the house remains private property. What happens to a home when there is someone else in the smoke? How unhealthy are the yellow walls and how do you get a bad present, and bleed out?

“you’re the First, you can come to this? My wall color is brown!” Eric is the First, and an expert in the field of the environment by the TNO research institute, was started in the early nineties, which is often called as the wall and ceiling surfaces verkleurden due to the smoke.

At that time, there was still plenty gepaft and the housing luchtdichter, through which the smoke is faster, did you? “In a couple of months and you already have a brown wallpaper,” says the First. “We’ve done the research and measurements of these properties. Because there is less ventilation, and was struck with the delicate, quickly on the wall.”

“If there is no ventilation, the smoke, and it attaches itself to everything in the house,” says Onno van Schayck, professor of preventive medicine at Maastricht University.

“This is already the case with the smoking of a single cigarette. What is more, there is smoke with no ventilation, the more quickly the room turns into a rookhok. Gradually, make, tar, grime and nicotine-yellow paint.”

Chamber, where a recent smoking is dangerous ” < / p> From the day children are a lot of chemicals. These particles will continue to adhere to in the room. There are also cancer-causing substances.

“for a decade or so ago, it was not thought that a room in which smoking was harmful, said Van Schayck. “The smell was a nuisance was found, that was it. But, after a phd research project by Sasha Hutchinson of the city centre University in a two-thousand-Limburg, the families, it was found that the children suffering from this derdehands ” smoked.”

“in Order not to, you can full of ground coffee beans in the house, drop it.”

But – and this is going to be happy unless there’s recently been smoking in the room, and the smoke still in the cabin. “If the substances are truly bonded to the walls, they are not likely to be harmful.

Ground room with the scent

“If there is smoking in the house, I can smell it right away,” says Anoesjka Imambaks, managing director of maid service Maid at Home. “Sometimes, there may be injection used to the odor, to mask it, but that didn’t help”.

What does it do? “In order not to work very well for containers, pre-ground coffee beans are scattered throughout the home,” says Imambaks. “It’s cheaper and more effective than ionic air purifiers, because of coffee beans to neutralize it.”

the Walls and ceilings can be cleaned with soapy water, with a splash of vinegar. “The fatty deposits from the smoke you can remove it. The yellow color is all the way wegkrijgen, it is difficult, especially in wallpaper, that you can do not very hard scrub. On the carpet, and you’ll bake, even just let it sit, and vacuuming it with a vacuum cleaner. With curtains, you will have to the body to go out with a spotter, or you need to take them to a dry cleaner in this area.”

Imambaks comes to the yellow walls and not much more. Also the Place is hardly called for. “I think that people are becoming more and more aware of his life,” he says. I know that Imambaks as well. “But sometimes, I still meet people who are in their own home, smoking in the bathroom.”
