Hi, I 've used it after acqua gym for 3 days in a row and it didn't smell at all. Of course, I hung it on a line afterwards

Have had no problems with bad odors after any use. But you can always try baking soda, hydrogen peroxide or vinegar (just one of those) if you have odor issues.

I just got mine out to check. I have a pretty good sense of smell and mine had no odor. Sometimes soaking it submersed in vinegar for a few days will clear the smell. Good luck!

Yes, it works better than anything else I've used. If it is very mildewed, you may need to apply it twice. The smell is very strong. I usually apply before going to work so it can sit all day.

Not in my experience. I started using it without any preliminary "curing", and there were no fumes or odors at all.

It does dissipate after a short while. Not long till it's odor free. I didn't find the smell as offensive as some. I'd buy it again.

Mine didn't have any odor either. So there's no problem. Bad odor are usually related with expired items.

No doesn't appear so.The product information states: odors that may come from pets, garbage, bathrooms, litter boxes, smoke and cooking; and 99.7% of allergens include ragweed pollen, grass pollen, tree pollen, household dust, dust mite debris, mold spores, pet dander and smoke.Nothing indicates germs and bacteria. If the company thinks they could get away with advertising Germs/Bacteria, they surely would. I for one don't even think it does what it currently states (Just my opinion though).

the packaging may contribute to the odor. I am extremely sensitive to synthetic odors. You may not have that problem. Best wishes

I haven't noticed any odors from this unit. I have soft water so cleaning has not been an issue. I didn't use it for close to two weeks and I did not notice the unit getting dirty (mildew or white dust).

There is a slight odor but as long as you have proper ventilation you should be okay. I would really check with the maker of this product.

I haven't experience this. It seems to be cleanable, and I haven't had any smell problems. I did purchase a small air filtered I installed to help when they have bigger messes.

Mine didn't have an odor that I recall.. If it did, it went away real quick. Anything new and especially with plastic will have some slight odor but should go away as it airs out.

I would suspect there may be an issue with the unit you received, I have had no unusual odors from the one I got. It does get a little warm when used a lot, but no smells.

No, it is not a disinfectant. It is a detergent booster and "freshener" (helps eliminate odors). It is one of the ingredients in homemade detergents, which is what I use it for.

Hi, there was a very slight odor at first, but it quickly went away. I've been very happy with these sink mats.
