How long will this smell last？I have left the window open for at least 6 hours, but the smell is still pretty bad. Is that normal?

not really. After buffing, the smell should disapate in couple hours.I find the most odor stays in the house from the applicator and rags used. put them outside.

yes, the smell at first is normal, butit will fade away. I don't think it will last long. use a fan if you can, furnace, ceiling,free standing or light a candle

yes, it is normal. It will go away soon, not completely, but we did not find it unpleasant.

I got mine, opened the box and was almost knocked over. The smells is horrible so I took it out of my house.I'm hoping that over time it will go away, but it can't be good to breath that smell in,, it's really that bad. I wouldlove to send it back.

Wish I had an answer for you, but mine never smelled. I placed it in the cargo area as soon as I got it and its been there continually since. I have a very sensitive nose and would have noticed an odor. My answer for all unpleasant odors is a fabric dryer sheet or Febreeze if all else fails.

I have a lot of experience with different types of plastics and found the only way to get rid of the smell is to air it out. Depending on the type of chemicals used in making it, how much air circulation you have around it, and how sensitive your nose is, it can take a few days to a couple of weeks. There's no way to know. It's the chemicals that make it pliable (soft) that cause this problem. Some people are more sensitive to these types of smells which would make it appear as if there's more of an odor for some than for others. Also, heat may make it worse. Cool dry air, circulating around it, is best. Be careful where you leave it. Make sure it's not an enclosed area - there must be a window open for air circulation until the smell dissipates. And if you have allergies you'll want to keep it in a room you don't go in often.

In the beginning only. It wasnt a bad odor, it just smelled like there was something being cleaned kind of? Sorry can't explain too well. In any case the smell goes away. Also I thought it would have been bigger than the picture. But it doea what it needs to and we use it all day and all night since we've bought it.

I kept the mattress in a room for one day with the window open. After one day (or two days), the odor was pretty much gone.

I don t felt any odor but when summer came the tape start loosing strength and the cool air started to get back in after all in December. But at least I didn t smell anything that bother me when I used. I try first in a few windows to checked.how its work. You can do the same and move your pet to another place. Thanks

I received mine as a gift just yesterday. Very strong smell like I had just painted the entire bedroom. This was after the mattress had sat for 2 days to expand in another room in the house. I am hoping that someone can seriously tell me this odor goes away.

Unfortunately it won't last long in large open spaces, if there is air flow it will wear out in minutes. Any small place like a desk, car or small room is best. It should last a few hours and a lot longer in small spaces. Some people can't ever get the smell out of cars

Not really sure. I covered a post and let it sit for 24 hours in 80 degree weather. It continued to smell after 24. Less intense but still there. The post was buried and the smell obviously disappeared. I imagine the smell will go away eventually as time goes on. The question is, how much time?

I bought this unit about 6 months ago, I use it every other day (6-8 hours at a time). There has never been any smell coming from the unit. I recommend that you exchange it.

Had mine for about a month now, and no one notices to smell, I can't give a number because I really don't remember how much times I've used this, I hope that helps

It goes away after some time. Ours no longer smells but it was a few months time before that happened. If you have a garage you could place it in to air it out for awhile or place it outside if you live in a warmer weather state.

I have the 16:9 screen which is mounted in a very large room. There was no appreciable odor. I went and sniffed based upon your question. There is a bit of a "new" smell, but not anything strong. My screen has been used several dozen times, already. I would suggest you open the screen fully and let it swing for a few hours. I think that is what the manufacturer recommends. Other screens I have purchased from other companies also seem to have that initial opening smell. I think if you air it out a couple of times, you will be fine.
