The invention discloses a 
formaldehyde scavenger with pure natural 
plant extract and a method for preparing the 
formaldehyde scavenger, and belongs to the field of technologies for biologically extracting natural plants. The 
formaldehyde scavenger comprises, by weight, 20%-40% of Ocotea spp. extract liquid, 10%-40% of 
cinnamomum camphora leaf extract liquid, 10%-20% of herba houttuyniae extract liquid, 10%-20% of 
semen myristicae extract liquid, 10%-20% of 
platycladus orientalis extract liquid, 5%-20% of radix glycyrrhizae extract liquid and 5%-20% of folium eucalypti extract liquid. The weights of the Ocotea spp. extract liquid, the 
cinnamomum camphora leaf extract liquid, the herba houttuyniae extract liquid, the 
semen myristicae extract liquid, the 
platycladus orientalis extract liquid, the radix glycyrrhizae extract liquid and the folium eucalypti extract liquid is 100%. Processes for preparing 
plant extract liquid include utilizing water as an extracting agent; cooking plants, cooling the plants until the temperatures of the plants reach the normal temperature and carrying out filtering, closed 
fermentation and 
distillation. The formaldehyde scavenger and the method have the advantages that formaldehyde, harmful gas such as 
benzene and dimethylbenzene and undesirable 
odor can be efficiently decomposed by the formaldehyde scavenger prepared by the aid of the method, and the formaldehyde scavenger further has antibacterial, sterilization, deodorization and antistatic functions; the shortcomings of secondary 
pollution due to existing formaldehyde scavengers prepared from chemical reagents and existing formaldehyde scavengers mainly with chemical reagents and certain added 
plant extract liquid, poor formaldehyde 
scavenging effects and short shelf lives can be overcome.
