How can I get the terrible smell out of this??? I have been airing it out for a week and it still stinks.

I sprayed Febreze on one side and let it sit out in my living room overnight to thoroughly dry. I then did the same thing on the other side. Now it smells like Febreze. If you do this, make sure to select a Febreze fragrance that you can handle. I've had it for over a month, and there's a faint smell of Febreze but not the smell of the futon when you first take it out of the box.

I have not experienced any terrible smells from my futon. Maybe try a fabric deodorizer. Sorry I wasn't able to help.

Hi. I had the same issue with smell. I did not run the machine right away. I took it out and cleaned the filter in Lysol and let it sit for about 30 mins. Then rinsed really well and put it back after it dried completely. There was a slight smell for a few days, but it has gone away. You may want to put it outside or wipe down with baking soda and water just to help get rid of the smell.

Eventually, the smell will dissipate. Unfortunately, I don't know of anything you could do right now, to quell the smell.

I haven't had that issue. Maybe try vinegar to neutralize any smell and then your regular detergent.

It sounds to me like you were thawing the freezer, which is always a smelly Process. First use hot water & soap to clean the freezer rot, and then run the ozone generator to clear up any remain odors.

Think the instructions say something about cleaning it but if not I'd mix a little bleach and water swish it around should help with the smell

Leave it out in the air...Mother Nature has her way of cleansing bad odors quickly. I didn't have an odorproblem with my case but I would do the above if I did. Good luck!

I didn't have any foul odor. I think you need to contact to the seller and exchange for another one. If you cannot return or exchange, then try to dry clean

Run it for twenty or thirty minutes outside - it will burn off the residue that is causing the bad smell - then just bring it in and turn it on. For the most part it works very well.

Haul it outside in the sun...bring it in at night and do not let it get wet...that worked for me. The smell does go away...

I had the same problem. tried cleaning, and using it. The bad smell and taste never went away. So i sent it back. I agree smells like burning plastic.

I would send it back and ask them to replace it, but call first. I just smelled mine and I wouldn't call it good smelling either....

I wish I could help you concerning the odor. I never opened the one I bought up. It was a replacement for someone in the family. I accidentally Machine WASHED hers and it Ruined it! Don't wash it, take it to the cleaners and ask them is my suggestion.

It shouldn't smell at all. Either you have a leak, or it is not burning correctly. Good luck it should be checked.

Depending on how bad it is you can use an upholstery cleaner to remove it, if that does not work Steam cleaning will kill the bacteria that is causing the smell.
