Hello, I just bought a piece of Fumigated Antique Wood Furniture Imported from India. The piece is a 3-door cabinet. The off-gassing is very strong. I have a Blue Air purifier system running right next to the furniture with the doors open. I’m hoping this will help to absorb the fumes. According to my acupuncturist, I do have a weak liver so I avoid chemicals as much as possible. Does anyone have any suggestions on additional methods to expedite the off-gassing? And would it be helpful – or more toxic – to apply clorox? I only use non-toxic cleaning supplies so that would seem ironic but it was suggested by the furniture retailer. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
