I laid mine out on our van top, under our carport so it would not get sun or rain damage, for a day. No smell. Cheap ones reek, this one does not.

Mine did not smell very strong. I put it out over the weekend. I put mine on the mattress and then put a mattress pad over the foam pad. It still feels soft and no oder.

Get a lint roller, they're like 2 dollars at most grocery stores and will get rid of the weird feather/dust stuff. As for the smell, that's just the scent of factory, just keep the bean bag in a place with a good amount of air circulation and the smell will go away on its own after about 2 weeks.

I don't know why you are asking so I'll just throw out ideas. When my washing machine became smelly with mildew I tried many products. What worked best was vinegar. I put in a large amount, started the washer on hot, and let it not spin out overnight. Then I'd add a quarter cup of vinegar in the final rinse, especially with towels. That worked well. I would try pouring a half gallon of vinegar into the dishwasher and leave it for a few hours, then let it run to completion. Wipe down the seals and around the door. I don't think that would cause harm, but do it at your win risk. I think smelly washer is citric acid like is in soda pop and is an acid like vinegar.

Fill with warm water and a little vinegar. Leave in for 5 minutes. Pour it out and wipe out with damp cloth.

I had mouse urine odor in my truck, and I used coffee. Get some cheap coffee, pour the grounds into a shallow container, slide it under the seat, and the odor will be gone in a day. It works great for other odors, too. I even put it in the cabinets of a house I'm renting to eliminate a musty odor from the dirt crawlspace.

The smell is bad, but it goes away quickly in a well ventilated area. My suggestion would be to fluff it daily and turn it over daily until the smell dissipates.

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

I put mine on the high setting. It took about 45 minutes for the smell to go away. It was not that bad.

I twist a paper towel end into a point and try to clean some of the tar out. That should help the stink and makes the filter last longer

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.

If you used significant amount of ozone for your shock treatment, in my experience it may take up to 5 days to get rid of the residual ozone / ozone smell. You can reduce half-lifetime of ozone from its usual value of around 12 hours by agitating the air with fans, increasing humidity in the air, and increasing the temperature. The problem is that ozone penetrates any porous matter in your room (from wall paint to clothes) and then slowly emanates into the air. Just venting the room would reduce the ozone concentration, but will not eliminate it completely to the level at which you can't smell it anymore. Having said that, low ozone concentrations are usually not dangerous, but irritating.

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.

Ginger is right. It takes about a week for the smell to go away. Buy outdoors you may not notice it.

No nothing else :) Actually plants are fine to. The only precautions you need to take is people or animals because high doses of Ozone (this is a commercial very powerful unit) can cause lung irritants. I know some people who stay in the room but we dont suggest it at all. If you follow the instructions it works very very good at removing powerful odors. Let us know if you have any other questions :) Thanks Dustin GreatVacs (seller)

Laundry detergent. If you use it in a closet, I recommend leaving plenty of space around it or hanging it on a hook inside the door. Clothes that hang close to it will pick up the smell. It isn't as noticeable after 2 weeks, though.

I would recommend vinegar and water, and use a soft-bristled brush to get the mold out, and then shampoo to get the smell out. Store a completely dry air mattress in a waterproof, airtight container to prevent mold from forming.
