Does the odor dissipate over time? Mine smells like petrol..

I think what you're smelling is the lanolin in the wool so it's completely natural. Some people like it; some don't. Not sure how long it lasts.

I have never noticed a smell in ours. We did wash it though. Perhaps that made the difference.

Yes. The best way to get it "deodorized" is to lay it outside in full sun for an afternoon (I put an old sheet on the grass and lay the pad on it to keep it clean and flip it a couple times). We do that several times a year to keep it fresh. Hope that helps. We really like it - have them on all our kids' beds too.

I think that's actually the smell of wool. We've had ours for a few months and it still has this faint wool smell.

I suspect what you're smelling is the natural lanolin in the wool. This should dissipate over time, more quickly if you hang it outside to air out periodically.

More than likly the smell isn't gone entirly. You have just gotten use to it and don't notice it any more. Same thing with mine.

Yes. It has a rubbery smell, but I didn't keep mine long enough to see if the smell dissipates over time.

Hi, I opened mine and set it aside to use the next day and it was fine when I started using it. Mine came with plastic wrap so that might be part of it. Anyway it stays in my car and I don't notice any smell.

Mine had the odor for maybe a couple days but if you use it frequently, the odor goes away. I try to run it with the "COOL" setting off for a few minutes before shutting it down when I am done with it. That seems to work for me as I haven't had any odor from it for weeks.

Yes it does have that odor, but it seems to go away in time. I bought mine last winter and it 's disapeared some

Our smelled like that as well, but only for a few days. We've had our for 5 months now and it doesn't smell anymore.

Hi if you keep it clean there is almost no odor. I use premium clumping liter and clean every morning & every night.

I got to be honest, it smells like pure gasoline. No, I'm just kidding. It actually smells pretty good. I love it.

Mine is in a detached insulated garage and only runs periodically, but i can't say i ever found a smell associated with it.

I did have a funny odor...something like oil or plastic when I first got this fan. The smell is gone now...took about a week of use to subside. The longer you leave it on the faster it will dissipate. I only used it at night, and then only on occasion because it is still so cold in NY.....Keep running it and it will go away soon!!!

No. Mine does not have a gasoline smell. It smells a little peppery but that's it.

I didn't notice that. I think there may be some rubber smell, but it's not very serious, and with time flies I think the smell will disappear.

Haven't noticed any odor. I keep it in the back of my SUV. If there was any odor, it would be pretty noticeable inside the car.

I had no issue with smell, I would suggest setting outside and letting it off gas for a few days
