I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing strong odors from your newly installed sheet vinyl. Vinyl flooring can sometimes release volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are responsible for the odor. Here are some steps you can take to address the situation: Ventilation: Increase ventilation in the affected area by opening windows and using fans. This helps to disperse the odors more quickly. Temperature: Maintain a comfortable room temperature, as heat can accelerate the off-gassing of VOCs. However, avoid using high heat sources, as excessive heat can damage the flooring. Air Purifiers: Consider using air purifiers with activated carbon filters to help reduce odors in the room. These filters are effective at capturing VOCs. Baking Soda: Sprinkle baking soda on the vinyl floor and leave it for some time before vacuuming. Baking soda can help absorb odors. Clean with Vinegar: Mix a solution of water and white vinegar (about one cup of vinegar to a gallon of water) and use it to clean the vinyl surface. Vinegar can help neutralize odors. Time: In many cases, the odor from new vinyl flooring will diminish over time as the off-gassing of VOCs decreases. Be patient, and the smell should gradually dissipate. If the odor persists or is causing discomfort, it's advisable to contact the flooring installer or the manufacturer. They can provide guidance on the specific type of vinyl flooring you have and offer recommendations on how to address the odor issue. It's important to note that the release of VOCs from vinyl flooring can vary depending on the product and manufacturing processes. Some vinyl flooring products are designed to be low-VOC or have undergone treatments to reduce off-gassing. If you have concerns about the indoor air quality or the potential health impact of the odors, it's a good idea to consult with the manufacturer or a professional for personalized advice.
