Washed, soaked, and dried! The new curtains still smell of asphalt

When buying new curtains, you must carefully smell if there are any odors. "He Yong (pseudonym), who is in the curtain business at the Dadukou Ceramic Market, met one of the most amiable customers, Peng Zhihua. The curtains she ordered half a month ago have been emitting a strong smell of asphalt since they were installed in her bedroom. Yesterday morning, Chongqing Morning Post reporter and Peng came to He Yong's store together to return and exchange this pair of curtains.

The smell of asphalt on the curtains won't wash off

Peng Zhihua lives in the Golden Century Community of Dadukou. Half a month ago, she ordered a batch of curtains. The curtains for the living room and bedroom cost over 1400 yuan, but they belong to two different manufacturers.

After installing the new curtains in the living room, it's very normal and there's no odor, "Peng Zhihua said. After installing the new curtains in the bedroom, it actually emitted a smell of asphalt, similar to the smell of building a highway. At first, we thought it was floating in outside the window, but after closing the glass window, the smell became stronger, smoked the eyes, and made people feel chest tightness

From the 18th to the 27th of last month, Peng Zhihua left home for a few days of tourism in southeastern Chongqing and returned. When he opened the bedroom door, the smell of asphalt gathered inside was blinding. Peng called He Yong, who arrived at the scene and found that the asphalt smell was indeed too strong. He wanted the customer to wash it with water to see if the smell still existed.

I soaked in laundry detergent for a whole day, but there was still a strong smell after washing and drying. Yesterday morning, a reporter from Chongqing Morning Post smelled the curtains on site, and the asphalt smell inside was still severe. In recent days, Peng Zhihua moved into the vacant house of his daughter in the same community, and he temporarily dared not live in his own house until the curtains were replaced.

The shopkeeper is also the first to encounter

It's strange, this is the first time I've encountered such a thing. "He Yong has been doing business in the ceramic market for more than ten years and has never had a similar situation. He said that after customers choose the color and specifications of the curtains, he places an order with the fabric factory in Haining, Zhejiang, and then processes the curtains they need after receiving the fabric.

You can smell it. This curtain has the same color as Teacher Peng's, but the batch is different, but there is no odor at all. Yesterday morning, Peng and He reached an agreement and replaced it with curtains of the same design and color as their own living room. He Yong has more than ten suppliers, and now he will return the goods to the manufacturers and report this matter to the local geological supervision department.
