Do these mats have any kind of rubber or strong scent?

We have them in our truck and they didn't have a strong scent and it's hard plastic. We absolutely love them. The truck's carpet stays clean and try and the mats are super easy to clean.

Yes. They do. I love these mats. They are absolutely worth the money so far. I have had them for 6 months or so.

They do have a scent. It is not very strong but noticeable when used. I use a drying cloth after a wipe and the scent is diminished but not entirely absent.

Google rubber...see if it contains latex.....these are made of rubber,they smell like rubber, I'm not going to use them because of that

I bought these and they are rubber. They are great...quieter as well as non-scratching. They also go from bare floor to rugs (and those little slats between tile and wood floors) without catching. Highly recommend them.

They are not rubber but are made from a strong flexible plastic. I have used mine for some time now and they appear to be quite strong if not treated too roughly.

They are a set of front and rear. They are factory Hyundai all weather mats. They do not make the car smell like rubber.

They are coated in high quality rubber. Rubber smells. You just don't notice it because of where they normally place it. For instance, if you have a garage and you get new tires, you will notice their strong smell for a long time. Tires are meant to take a pounding and so are these weights. We have owned our weights for a while and they don't smell unless you are really close to them now. At first, the whole room smelled. If you want something durable and tough that is going to last the years, right now that is how it smells. You know, there may be some way to wash them and remove the smell, but time did it for us. btw, I use them all the time and they are amazing, high quality, easy to handle greatness.

It's a pretty strong rubber smell indeed. Mine has softened but still has that smell, but only noticeable to me. I love the mat so much I don't even notice it anymore. I've asked people next to me at yoga class if they can smell it, because I don't want to invade their space, and they don't notice it. I have noticed that since I have left it in my car this time of year (it's been extremely cold, like 4 degrees) that the smell has softened even more. Perhaps using a yoga mat cleaner will help dissipate the smell for you. It will take time however. I just don't mind it I guess. One of the reasons I got this mat is because I sweat so much in yoga class and was slipping. I don't slip at all on this mat, unless it's an ungodly hot summer day. I don't do hot yoga, but our studio is a warm studio, temp set at 82 degrees for class. If your hands and feet sweat excessively, I recommend a towel for your mat. Most people in my class use one, but I haven't had to since I got this mat. BTW, I love the saffron color I got. It's cheerful (totally my personality) and no one else has it.

They are rubber. I'd be ok with them on my hardwoods as long as they were clean.

They are a very hard rubber. They do not leave marks on the floors or carpets, however.

No, no smell. No off gas odor at all. I really like this mat. Have no complaints.

No, no smell at all! These are heavy duty too! I could not be more happy with my purchase.

No noticeable rubber smell that I remember... I mean nothing bad. And they are still holding up well after buying them last year.

Mine have a faint smell of rubber. Not offensive and even that is diminishing with time.

I am unaware of a change. Maybe they are talking of initial smell with you unwrap it? I have had mine for some time now and don't smell anything and my son loves these mats. We build forts with them sometimes or use them on the hard floor as a cushioned place to play. Have had zero issues with smell or anything in regards to these.

They didn't seem overly strong, somewhat like a lightly scented candle. To be honest I'm not sure how long the smell took to disappear but I don't recall it being that long. Sorry I can't be more precise.
