A few questions: How quickly does it dry? Is there an odor when applying? How quickly does the odor dissipate? Thank you in advance.

You must wait for a nice warm day, take the rug outside and clean off the old padding well. It can be put on with an old paintbrush. It takes a few days to dry WELL. It all depends on the humidity, too. I cannot stand fumes at all, but it was not bad since I was outside.

I have found that the odor control of this product is not permanent. It is short lived and some smells are hard to get rid of. It works alright on organic odors but you have to get to the source of the musty odor or it won't be the answer to your problem.

I never noticed any odor. The directions tell you to lay it out for 4 days before putting in on your bed. That helps it to air out so it doesn't smell.

Hi, Susan, it's SUPPOSED to "age" for 24 hours, but I think that's just so the smell goes away. It was dry to the touch in a couple hours. And that was with two coats of spray.

I let it dry for about 3 hours--though I think it dries much quicker than that. I don't see a need to vacuum after application other than what you'd do on your regular routine. At least, I don't vacuum after application.

I am so sorry for your rat problem. I use the product outside so I am not for sure about drying out. I did have a rat die inside the wall in my bedroom and left a very bad smell. I got a product called "FRESHWAVE" Natural Odor Eliminator Crystal Gel. I had these jars all over the house. The product is a little pricy but it really works. I am very particular about smells since I have allergies but this does not bother me. TRY IT! It took about 4 days for the smell to go away. My critter catcher guy said not to use a product to cover up the odor. That only makes it worse. You can order this product "FRESHWAVE" on the internet. I bought it at Bed Bath & Beyond. Good luck!

It does have a smell to it, almost like a fragrance. It's not overwhelming or all that unpleasant, but it is a bit noticeable at first. Cleanup is relatively easy. It's possible to turn it inside out to rinse and dry completely.

It does work great, just don't dry it where people can smell it because the room it's drying in, smells like feet..:/

Yes, in my opinion I think it dries fast, specially if you have a fan around or windows open, you will be able to put clothing over with no problem!!! Another thing you can do is blow some air to your face by yourself with a sheet of paper or with your hands, it will help it to dry quicker too!!! About go on clear, depending how much cream you are applying to your face, as this cream is not a clear one, is more a whitey one, so if you don't want it to be seen, apply in very small amounts to the affected area!!! :] I wish you good luck & I hope it works to you as much as it worked & always does for me!!! *Blessings* Yes, in my opinion I think it dries fast, specially if you have a fan around or windows open, you will be able to put clothing over with no problem!!!

I just used this yesterday. I like to apply it with a microfiber cloth on my hands and knees. Just a thin layer. No need to slop it on. It dries quickly -- less than 20 minutes.

You have my sympathies. The odor last from three days to about week. I put mine in the dryer on fluff for a few minutes. It helps but only thing to do is suffer and wait. I wouldn't try wasting it because they are so heavy it would take longer than a week to dry.

Actually, the smell doesn't really bother me. It dissipates after a few minutes so, I just apply it and move on with my routine.

I tried it for nearly a month. I ended up not continuing to use it. It is like a paste. A thick paste. I guess ie seals your pores. It did leave a white mark when putting a shirt on over your head. However as dad as odor it did eliminate all odors. For me me the problem was the application.

The smell is very very slight especially compared to others like icy hot and bengay. It's a little bit of a minty smell but it does go away in once it dries (which isn't very long). I believe it can be used every 3 hours but I have not used it in that frequency before.

I used it for showers while back packing. I think it dries fairly quick. It depends on the moisture in the air, but I was really impressed, I didn't notice how long it took to dry but I also never noticed it being damp for too long.

I just tested it. Pretty much instantaneous on a porous material like paper. On a computer static bag or a regular sandwich bag it took a few moments to dry. I hope that helps. B

Drying time was about an hour, depending on temperature, I did this in the summer and it was quick, also did many layers so it was an all day job. Did this for the doors, also put few layers of the FatMat insulation on, it might smell a little but once it dries and put doors on , no more smell
