The smell of paint in the newly painted room dries in different times depending on the type of paint and factors such as ventilation of the newly painted room. You may need to ventilate the rooms for 2-3 days to ensure the odor is removed. If you do not do this, it may take up to 1 month for the smell to come out.
Synthetic paints reduce the oxygen inside during house painting and until the paint dries. This can lead to respiratory problems. Experts explain that pregnant women, children and people with chronic conditions should not be there until the smell is completely gone.
Oil paints used in interior painting dry later than water-based ones. In order for the smell to go away as soon as possible, it is necessary to ventilate the rooms frequently. Water-based paint emits less odor than oily and latex paints. It is environmentally friendly and has a faster drying feature.
However, you should not stay in the room until the smell is gone and the paint is completely dry.
