Question from MLL

I just purchased a new love seat and chair. The showroom manager assures me that this furniture is greener than the furniture made 10 years ago, however, they still use flame retardant, poly foam cushions and laminated wood with glue. I have MCS. How can I stop these chemicals from bothering me?

Debra’s Answer

I wouldn’t have purchased this furniture in the first place. “Greener” doesn’t mean not toxic, especially if you have MCS.

You might try using heat to make the material outgas faster. How long ago did you purchase this? Can you return it?

Readers, have you had any success reducing outgassing from these materials?
