Does this mat have any oder/smell issues?

This material has not registered any olfactory issues with either my wife nor I. Unless you put your nose right on the mat you probably would not know what it is made of. Certainly nothing that would permeate an entire room. Just keep it out of direct sunlight for a good quality, durable and long lasting mat.

Nope. No oder that I noticed. Also, being a black mat there is no colour bleeding. I have it on top of beige carpet and this has been the case through summer and no issues. I have my indoor exercise bike on it. They have a longer/bigger size for rowing machines too. I would recommend this item to a friend ...or stranger. :)

IMO, not at all. I am sensitive to smells, and this does not have any odor I have been aware of. I think I have had it about 3 months or so, and it is great.

I've had this mat for 7 months now and have not had any signs of mildew. I don't take it up often, but when I do, there are no signs of mildew. I am very pleased with it.

I love my sink mats but yes they have an odor and I have bleached mine and have had them for several months and the smell has not went away.

I am not overly sensitive, but I know what you mean. Sometimes I go in a store and the smell of plastic is overwhelming - I can't wait to get out of there! There has never been a chemical/urethane smell to my mat - even when it was new.It is a terrific product!!!!! I have owned one for 10 months and I bought my dog a mat as well.

I haven't experience this. It seems to be cleanable, and I haven't had any smell problems. I did purchase a small air filtered I installed to help when they have bigger messes.

Hi, there was a very slight odor at first, but it quickly went away. I've been very happy with these sink mats.

No, I have not found that to be true. I've used my mat many many times and it has no smell.

Once you take it out of the box it ships in you will have a "new" odor but that only lasts a couple of hours. After that there is no smell at all. I wouldn't hesitate to put this mat in any room of my home. I believe you will love this mat!

When I first unpacked my mat it did smell rubbery, but the smell went away with time.

I didn't find that it had any significant smell, being more of a canvas material than proper plastic any "new" smell disappears quickly and I never found it a problem :)

I don't recall any offensive smell with mine, maybe a new/or packaged smell but once it was out of the box and assembled, it was fine. I believe this is a great product and the answer to all of the kitty litter problems I had previously experienced.

This mat was one of the thickest we had found for this price and I did a lot of research. There was a slight rubber smell when taking it out of the box, but I honestly didn't really notice the smell after the first day.

No. It has no smell. It has lovely material, and it is a little hard, but my son sleeps on it every night. It does not smell, and nothing in terms of hardness that a seven dollar egg crate mat didn't fix. I love it. I was so happy with it when it came on Christmas a year and a half ago.

I haven't noticed any smell, I'm happy with it. I didn't remove the adhesive though, as I found it doesn't move around until I want it to.
