Remedies for Varnish Fumes


Varnish makes things look gorgeous and smell awful. There are several things you can do to minimize the effect they have on you physically.

You can ventilate the room by placing a box fan in a window in the room to exhaust the fumes. Wearing a mask is also a good idea particularly if you are the one applying the varnish. Unfortunately, varnish takes a long while to completely off gas, and so there are residual fumes that will continue to evaporate for weeks.

Regardless of why you are being exposed to varnish fumes--in a nail salon, beauty salon, or a woodworking shop--prolonged exposure to these fumes is bad news for you health, both short and long-term. And since it's pretty impractical to walk around in a mask all the time, we suggest the following.

The safest way to eliminate the most fumes from indoor air is by filtering the air with an air purifier that is specifically designed to eliminate volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) such as those that are found in varnish.

PurerAir.com offers an air purifier that contains 4 filters, one of which is a carbon based filter with an additive targeted at removing chemicals. We have sent this purifier across the United States and Canada, as it has proven its effectiveness again and again.
