You can remove the outer covering and toss it in the wash. Or you could try to vacuum it. The smell on mine dissipated in a little over a week. So you have to deal with it for now. The more you "re-fur" it, the sooner it stops smelling weird.

My bean bag was not that smelly, and I did not have the same issue you had. i have read you can take the foam out of the bag and wash the cover, that should help. Also, the more you "fuf it", the less it will smell.

Get a lint roller, they're like 2 dollars at most grocery stores and will get rid of the weird feather/dust stuff. As for the smell, that's just the scent of factory, just keep the bean bag in a place with a good amount of air circulation and the smell will go away on its own after about 2 weeks.

With it being a new item, it may take a little while for the smell to go away. You could probably take a very lightly dampened cloth with fabreeze and wipe it down to see if that helps a little.

Mine had quite a bit of an odor. I'm still in the process of airing it out. Hopefully that will take care of it.

If you mean the burrs, just look down into it and see if it looks sort of oily and black. A trick to cleaning it out is to use "Minute rice", not uncooked regular rice, use about 1/4 cup +/-, grind it and it will clean out the burrs. Then run a small amount of beans through it and it's clean. I wouldn't get too crazy about it, maybe every week or 2 depending on how much it's used. You didn't say anything about the static problem, I haven't found a good fix for that yet but did call the company and was basically told all grinders have the static problem but in my opinion the plastic ones more that the metal ones. I' going to try a "Zerostat", used to remove static on vinyl records, 60's sort of stuff, they shoot out a stream of negative ions (really, not bunk), which should solve the problem. Too much information? Haha!

Sorry, I threw away the bag already... Try to contact the company directly to be on the safe side.

Make sure "zipper" is completely clean. If need be wipe with damp toweling. If all else fails compress all air from bag and use a large clip.

I never have. I agree with John Marietta. You should call customer service and talk to them. They need to notify the seller too that you bought these from as maybe they have some contaminated bags since yours have this in them.

I can not find where there are people complaining about this to find a solution. Are you using the recommended sanitizer? I would change the batteries and make sure the bag is installed correctly. I wish I could offer a solution but I can't find where anyone is having the same issue.

I have not had to clean it yet. I wash the cans - anything that is dirty before placing them in the bag. I guess t would use a brush or damp cloth.

I noticed the bag we recently purchased had a bad odor. I thought it smelled like dirt.

Leave it out in the air...Mother Nature has her way of cleansing bad odors quickly. I didn't have an odorproblem with my case but I would do the above if I did. Good luck!

If you're talking about the little coolie hat-shaped thing inside the cup that holds the whole beans, I couldn't get that off to clean it. It was too tight. I searched for instructions but couldn't find any. Sounds like you got it off and the cup too. There must be a peg on the bottom of the cup that fits into a hole if you get it all lined up right. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful.

Make sure the bag is clean and there are no obstrctions around the fan. Otherwise is most likely a control board problem and will need factory repair. I'm on my second one after first lasted 3 years. Decided cheaper to buy a new one than repair the old one.

You wanna turn the bag upside down and start trying to prime the air out, if you squeeze it while priming it will eventually get the air out. At least that's what I remember doing. We haven't had one in several years.

May we ask what detergent you used? It sounds like the dye from a colored detergent was absorbed. We will gladly replace the pillowcase. Please email us at customerservice@fishersfinery.com

In honesty I'm not sure. I have the same bag and it doesn't have a smell to it. Sometimes just using an item for a week or so will help break it in and it will adapt to the smell of your home or whatever you're carrying in it.

Just twist the bag off & use sander without it. Dust will shoot out for sure, so you may want to sand outdoors. It does a great job.
