How long does it take for the chemical smell to go away? That is to say, suitable for use in a kitchen?

Mine seemed to be gone in a few weeks, though I may have just gotten used to it... Certainly bothered me for the first week or so.

I have not noticed a chemical smell but I am using it in a sun room that has a lot of ventilation. I did cover the whole floor. I would be a bit concerned about using it in a kitchen because the surface is quite soft and it will be damaged easily by anything sharp being dropped on it.

I was going to return mine, but decided to use it outside on my patio. I wouldn't use it indoors, I had it outside for a week to air it out and it still stunk, so I just kept it outside.

Not really-I just used it and after reading your question I had to go back in the kitchen to see if I smelled anything. The answer was no, but I had been cooking. If there is an odor it is so minimal that it just isn't an issue.

Wish I had a exact time when the smell is gone but it shouldn`t be too long because I haven`t noticed the smell anymore. I think it might have been less then a week. But you could always try putting it in the washing machine or fill the tub with a little laundry soap swish it around & let it soak for awhile , maybe that would help. Sorry if this doesn`t answer your question

If done right (not saying I do- but we only do vegetable and plant matter) smell is minimal. Ours sits about 12 feet from bedroom window. I only smell it when so open lid.

No, you just have to cure it. I cured it in my kitchen and it smelled quite a bit, but was fine.

I can't give you an exact answer but it works well in our kitchen-to clear out smells-we plug it in as we start to cook, then leaveit in for about an hour after. I'd recommend it

After it sets it does get hard enough like the orignal. But to get rid of the odor, you have to put it in a solution of warm water with baking soda for 20 mins and then it slowly goes away.

I used these in my closets along with the damp rid closet hangers. They did get rid of odor and they do last around 90 days.

I have it in my bedroom and so far it gives off a chemical odor. Its been 3 days and I usually run it at night time.

The smell goes away after a while. I would spray it with fabreeze or something like that It has cardboard inside and washing it would destroy it.

There was no chemical smell when i first open the box nor later. I've had this item for about 3 months now and i have not had any problems with bad smells. The room that i have the step in gets pretty warm in the afternoon because it gets all of the afternoon sun hitting it, and even then there is no bad smell. I hope this helps.

That's correct, soaking the item in warm water and baking soda will remove the smell quickly. Thanks for shopping with DGS Novelties.

Honestly... a solid few weeks. When we did our pop-up camper, we let it sit in our garage for a few weeks before the smell started to go away. It still lingered just a bit until our pop-up was rained on one camping weekend.

I washed mine out with soap and water and then a vinegar soak for about 10mins (diluted with water). No odor and no off taste after doing that.

Yes, you will notice an " ozone" smell. It is not unpleasant and gets rid of cooking odors. I think it freshens the house

There is no smell. I use it for making my own mayonnaise. I also use it for lotions ,etc. I use it so quickly that I do not know the shelf life. I keep it in a cool place or refrigerate it.
