Reviews From Our Clients

A big thank you to Freddie for the excellent service! He was very responsive, accommodating, and professional throughout the entire process. What really impressed me was the service rendered….not only did he manage to clean off the formaldehyde in my son’s room effectively, he even went the extra mile to snap photos of the readings so I could have peace of mind that the job was properly done, since I wasn’t home when he did the job. Follow-up was also very prompt and reassuring. Really appreciate the effort and care shown. Highly recommend Freddie if you’re looking for someone reliable and trustworthy for formaldehyde treatment!
Honestly, I don't know where to start except to say that Freddie and Lun probably helped save my health and gave my family our home back. We moved into our new place about two month ago, with fresh custom carpentry and furniture throughout. I started having serious breathing difficulties not long after, and it got bad enough that I ended up hospitalised. My wife and 2-year-old daughter weren't showing symptoms, but something felt very wrong. The moment I got home after being discharged and sat on my sofa, the breathing problems came straight back. That's when we called Freddie. He immediately understood the gravity of the situation. No run-around, no "let's wait and see." He agreed to come test the very next day. When the readings came back, they were alarming: 0.21 to 0.48 in several areas of the flat, when the safe threshold is 0.08. Seeing those numbers actually validated everything I'd been feeling. Freddie brought in his colleague Lun, who carried out the full cleaning process over about 4 hours. The post-treatment readings came back to healthy levels. We could breathe again, literally. And then Lun went even further. We had forgotten to flag one section of carpentry. Completely our own oversight, but without any fuss, he rode all the way back from Paya Lebar to Canberra just to make sure the job was properly done. That kind of dedication is rare. If you've just moved into a new home with lots of carpentry or new furniture, please don't wait until someone ends up in hospital. Give Freddie a call. They are the real deal. Professional, fast, genuinely caring, and thorough. Highly recommend.
Engaged LAF for formaldehyde removal due to strong odor from my newly installed furnitures. Initially I engaged another company but was unsatisfied due to their poor quality. Freddie from LAF quickly turned to do a recovery & redo within a very short notice. Good quality, fast service & reliable and yet reasonable price!
Freddie and team is professional and efficient. We managed to set an appointment within short notice and got our kitchen formaldehyde levels reduced significantly. They also provide clear explanation on the situation and gave another follow up visit to make sure everything is good. Recommend!
Professional and efficient service. The team carried out the anti-formaldehyde treatment thoroughly and with care. After the service, the air felt noticeably fresher and the chemical odour was clearly reduced. I would recommend this service to anyone concerned about indoor air quality, especially after renovation. Freddie was very friendly and helpful too. It was a right choice to engage them. No regrets and I can move into my new home without being concerned of the harmful effects of the volatile fumes to me and my family.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is Formaldehyde

Formaldehyde is one of the Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Formaldehyde is a colorless, flammable gas at room temperature, has a pungent, distinct odor, and may cause a burning sensation to the eyes, nose, and lungs at high concentrations.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has classified formaldehyde as a known human carcinogen. There is some evidence of asthma or asthma-like symptoms for children exposed to formaldehyde in homes.

FAQs on the Dangers of Formaldehyde

1. What are the health risks of formaldehyde exposure?
Formaldehyde is an irritant and carcinogen. Short-term exposure can cause irritation to the eyes, nose, throat, and respiratory system, leading to coughing or wheezing. Long-term exposure, especially at higher levels, is linked to cancer, such as nasopharyngeal cancer and leukemia. Sensitive individuals, like children and those with asthma, may experience worse symptoms.

2. Where is formaldehyde commonly found?
Formaldehyde is present in building materials like plywood, particleboard, and pressed-wood products, as well as household items such as paints, adhesives, and cleaning agents.

3. How can I reduce my exposure to formaldehyde?
Minimize exposure by improving ventilation, especially after introducing new furniture or materials. Choose products labeled “low-VOC” or “formaldehyde-free.” Maintain low indoor humidity (40–60%) to reduce off-gassing.
