Curious on the amount of odor [after application and drying/curing] for use on a cotton tablecloth. Also, any residue/stickiness/etc. observed?

I only did a tent and there was no residue and after sitting outside all day only a slight oder. Not sure if its still there as I rolled the tent up and have not used it yet

After applying the waterproof to a tent and letting it air our for a day, I repacked the tent. One month later I set up the tent for use and did not encounter any or very little residual smell. Slept great in the tent. No residue or stickiness from the spray. Have applied it to 2 other tents I own, same results. Great product.

After drying there is no odor or stickiness. The product has no negatives that I am aware of

I've never used it on anything that large, but I would recommend following the label carefully as to ventilation. Probably best outdoors on a very calm day and let it dry outdoors. I haven't found any residual odor or stickiness. An even coat on an object that large might be a challange ... also, I have no experience with washability on cotton, that is, how long it will last.

I hand wash and have never had a problem with odors sticking. For that kind of problem I would try soaking in a little baking soda (or sit it out in the sun for a day). Good Luck!

There was an immediate odor on application but I live in a single one bedroom apartment and did a coffee table and end table right in the living room with just the immediate living room window open and a bedroom window open for a cross breeze and I did not feel overwhelmed by fumes or anything. It was surprising better than I was expecting, (I was expecting something that burned my eyes or nose like bleach) and the scent did not linger for days after. Just vent the place and I think you would be just fine.

Put it in the dryer on low for an hour with a dryer sheet, or wet a washcloth with fabric softener. It may take a few cycles but it will go away. I have had mine for three days now and no odor at all.

I just threw my white tablecloths in the washer with a Tide pod and hot water. I used "Shout" on any stains and they came out perfectly. I didn't even need to iron them since they are a polyester blend.

I let ours completely dry out before putting it away. As you know, it dries to a hardened, almost crunchy state. We have not seen any black spots here in humid Texas, and it hasn't smelled sour. They can be tossed in the washer also.

Philip: are you asking if there are chemicals in the cloth from the box, or if I add anything to the cloth before using it? The box doesn't mention any ingredients other than fabric; and the cloth refills have no chemical odor or feel to them. I don't add anything to the cloth before using it. From what I've read about them, they need to be dry to work best. It's the structure of the cloth itself that grabs and holds the amazing amount of stuff that what looks like a clean floor can have on it.

That's funny. I've had it on my dining room table for months, and it never smelled. I did hang it in the sun for a few hours to get the wrinkles out, which didn't work. Maybe that's why mine doesn't smell. I also have a very sensitive nose.

I just used a cut up old cotton T-shirt as a cloth. It is very thick but soaks in quickly. I have only used once so far. Am planning on using it as needed when the butcher block starts looking a bit dry.

I use a small panty-liner pad in it. You may as well. I have only occasionally had an odor. When I do, I use white vinegar on it to kill any residual orders. Hope this helps in some way.....

I spilled some on a bedsheet. I put the sheet in the dryer, the highest setting, at a laundromat at least once a month [rotating it with other sheets]. The hard spot where the glue fell is still the same size. The glue will vaporize at some point. A Google search might be more helpful.

I'm sensitive to most organic cotton and can't wear it if there's a smell. There was only a 'line dry' smell to it (I think it was line dried, literally), which I am sensitive to, but after sticking between a hand towel w/ a little of my detergent and water for a day, then doing it w/ plain water the next day, I had no problem and have been using it for 5 months now. :)

Hey there.... It has a smell. It isn't too bad but I would avoid breathing much of it. It can make me dizzy. I don't have a wood oak table but I do have a wood table that doesn't have a sealing finish on it. Meaning it is just stained. I have tried some other things but really like this stuff for my dining table. I don't like the smell but I am sensitive. I feel the results of using it are worth putting up with the smell. My table is a medium brown. Using this product has given it a nice patina if you will but has not discolored my table. I do need to reapply the wax about once a month. Just like waxing a car you only want to apply a thin coat. Hope this helps.... Hey there.... It has a smell. It isn't too bad but I would avoid breathing much of it. It can make me dizzy.

Yes I agree with Magdelyn. Cotton on the inside and polyester lattice. There is no odor. I think it makes the hard mattress slightly more comfortable and it is very breathable for coolness. We own two, one for each of our cribs.

It smelled while it was curing. We did keep it ventilated for the month we were applying since we kept running out of product and had to order more. We were on location on weekends only. It did have some odor when we returned each weekend but the place was closed up between applications. When we did our last application we closed our cabin for the season and didn't return. It will be May/June before we return. The product was sticky while it was wet and you do need a respirator and complete clothing coverage when applying. It is an amazing product.

When you apply it there is the smell of turpentine, but after you rub it in smell is gone within 15 minutes. I have used this product on a large wood table for 3 years, applying it every 3 to 4 months. Works great on unfinished wood. Hope this helps!

Hi Katya! I started with 4 thin coats of the Magnetic primer... Yes the smell was pretty bad! Then, once it was fully dried, I lightly sanded it smooth and wiped it with a damp lint free cloth. Once it had dried again I applied 2 topcoats of the Rust-Oleum 206540 Chalkboard Brush-On, Black Latex paint, and YES the smell went away in a day or two after the latex dried.
