In the last article, we shared with you how to produce and eliminate odors from different materials in water cups. Today I will continue to discuss with you how to eliminate the odor of the remaining materials.
The smell of plastic parts is quite special, because the smell of plastic materials not only indicates the quality of the material, but also has something to do with the production process, production environment, and management methods. Once it is confirmed that the smell is caused by plastic, the usual way is to soak it in warm water of about 60℃. When soaking, you can add a little baking soda or lemon water. In this way, it can not only achieve sterilization and disinfection, but also This method neutralizes the smell of plastic parts and plays a role in diluting it. Be careful not to use high-temperature water for cooking. This is because not all plastic materials are resistant to high temperatures, and many plastic materials will shrink and deform when exposed to high temperatures.
Usually the odor of stainless steel metal parts, ceramic glaze parts, and glass material parts is easy to remove, because these materials are produced at high temperatures. During the production process, the high temperature will evaporate the materials that cause the odor. However, once the pungent odor occurs in plastic materials and cannot be removed by the method recommended by the editor, we recommend that friends stop using it. As for the cause, please read our previous articles.
Finally, let me explain why there is a tea aroma after opening the water cup. The tea bag placed in the water cup is used to cover up the smell. It does not mean that the water cup is of good quality. Usually, when a good water bottle is opened, it contains only desiccant in addition to the instructions. The main component of the desiccant is activated carbon. In addition to drying the environment, it also has the function of absorbing odors. A good water glass usually has no peculiar smell after opening it, and even if it does, it has a “new” smell that people often say.
