Do they all have an odor? How did you get rid of it??

No - These hair ties do not have any odor. Kenz Laurenz hair ties are beautiful - soft and stretchy - Great to use to pull your hair back...Completely washable and maintain their shape. We LOVE these HAIR TIES and personally wear them daily ;-)

yes, I was not able to get rid of the odor even after several washes so I threw them away. They made my hair smell like rubber.

The first 2 smaller batches I ordered were fine, but this entire purchase stinks so badly. I have tried washing them, 15 to 20 times totally immersing them in Fabreze, soaking in baking soda plus spraying with an odor remover and they are hopeless. They smell like the old fashioned insecticides did before they were outlawed. In my opinion, it doesn't seem like there is any way using them can be healthy for a human.

although I read on some of the reviews that they did have an odor, I personally did not experience this. Mine smelled just fine. In fact, I bought these to replace some that I had washed and caused to develop an odor.

Very easy, wash them in a little dish soap and warm water...rinse thoroughly and let dry before using again. I also recommend washing before first use as well, to remove the chemicals and slight odor.

They all have a strange odor. Each color of these has a different odor as well. They are my dogs fave toys. Has had them for years without any issues. The packaging does say they are dishwasher safe. Maybe try that to kill the odor if you or your dog doesn't like it?

It does have a odor, but the only time I notice it is in the box they come in. When I put them out I do not notice it.

I've been using these for years and never had any that had a bad smell. Obviously, something is wrong. Call the company.

They do tend to have a plastic smell at first, but it went away in a day or so. But if not, why not try spraying it with a mix of a cup of white vinegar to 3 cups of water? Vinegar takes care of a lot of things. Good luck!

I don't know if I ever knew that, when my son is done we just rinsed them with cold water and let them air dry. They've never smelled. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Good luck.

I never noticed any odor. Some people are more sensitive to that kind of thing than others, but apparently if there was an odor, I neverpicked up on it.

I did not smell any oder from them. I was just very upset that alot of the bags were stuck together/sealed together and unusable.

No, they have no odor...and my husband has accused me of having an overly sensitive ability to smell odors! Ha! I did wash them first in cold water before using them.

I believe that they did have an odor but I of course laundered them before use and they were fine. I have several sets, as I eat tons of fresh produce daily and I would be lost without them!

Mine do not have a smell, but they never did. I am very sensitive to smells, so I would have noticed. I would contact amazon and see if you can get a replacement. Maybe you got a bad batch.

Mine (I bought 2) did "smell new". But the odor went away in a day or so. . .

what i did was leave them out in the open and open a window. the smell wasn't so bad with the window open, and after a week or two the smell was mostly gone.

I always soak them in warm soap water before I scrub. I do not have any issues with smell

I got mine a long time ago, I don't really remember if they smelled right out of the box, if they did, they definitely don't smell anymore!!
