How do I get rid of the smell???

The smell is temporary - may be 30-45 days.You could get rid of it quicker, if you leave it under the sun in your backyard during the day when you go to work and take it back after sunset. If you do that 4-5 times, you may get rid of 70-80% of the smell in a week.

It goes away after some time. Ours no longer smells but it was a few months time before that happened. If you have a garage you could place it in to air it out for awhile or place it outside if you live in a warmer weather state.

I used some febreeze at first. The smell didn't persist beyond a couple weeks.

I has worked for me, if you scrub it in good with a broom or stiff brush, is pretty good to remove odor too.

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

Yes. the smell went away rather quickly. I can't remember exactly how long it was, but it could not have been too long. I absolutely hate bad smells in my house, and I would definitely have noticed if the smell stuck around for too long. hth.

Not sure what bad smell others are talking about, I have not had that experience. Both my pillows are fine, and have no smell, however, when I want an oder out of something I put it in a garbage bag with a bunch of baking soda poured in it and leave it for 3 days, then check it. If I wash something I use vinegar to take smells out. And, yes I've washed down before, the trick is getting it dry. I hang it on the line all day, and it must be a fairly hot day or it won't dry.

� it should help but I would scrub with bleach and repaint. Then use 0 odor to maintain.

once you get the smell it is hard to get out!!! What i have done to get the mildew or wet dog smell out is soak similar colors for up to an hour or overnight is they are close colors...i have had problems with the colors leaking onto lighter colors...so make sure they are similar. I would use a big heaping scoop in a bucket of hot water and soak away and wash in hot water with another scoop after soaking. took care of my stuff:) Hope I helped!! OOh and as the person below said vinegar is amazing!!! I just wash it once with vinegar, wash again with baking soda if needed, then another round with detergent also...that is for the really bad stuff. once you get the smell it is hard to get out!!!

I don't recall mine having any kind of smell, however, I have read that you may have that smell during the first two or three weeks. If it continues after that then you may have a problem. My guess is that smell will gradually subside over a period of three weeks. Especially if it is continually running 24/7 - which mine is.

I don't think the smell goes away. It's strong huh! I had to return it and get a different case.

I hung ours on a door that is a walk in closet. It's in the closet so I notice no smell. Try fabreezing the inside or using dry cache's of your favorite potpourri.

I don't stay out of the house long because I don't spray outrageous amounts of it. Just open the windows and turn on some fans and go for a walk with your furry friend. The smell should be gone by the time you get back.

I reccomend soaking the item in warm water and baking soda, that is the only thing I have heard of the removes the smell.

The Aireox will help some because it is a filtering system. That being said, if the out-gassing from the couch is really bad the filter will not get rid of all of the smell. The filters on this take particles (some very small) out of the air, not vapors per se. If you can, park the couch somewhere for a few days where it can vent harmlessly. A couch that was emitting that kind of smell would worry me about breathing it. Good luck!

There is no way, just toss it. I've bleached it, even letting it sulk for a full day. it stayed the same smell. Apparently it just the black ones that smell.

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.

Probably, it could not hurt to get rid of the smell, one in each corner of the room, hope this helps, good luck.
