The smell is overwhelming. I have been hanging it in the sun, but the smell is still there. What can I do?

Hi....the smell is the natural wool scent. This should go away with time....no need to put it in the sun...it should fade with use. So, please be patient and allow some time. If you have any additional questions, please let us know.Liliya.

My Sleep and Beyond organic mattress topper had the regular wool smell when I received it. I never aired it. I put it directly on my mattress as soon as I received it. I stopped noticing the smell a few days later. I actually liked the smell, as it is attributed to a natural source, wool. I have also been sleeping on wool bolus pillows for two years, so the smell is something I don't notice anymore. Thanks to this topper I don't have anymore hip pain, and my hard mattress is super comfortable now. In addition, I no longer experience night sweats, and neither does my husband. It controls body temperature beautifully. I'm not sure what would take the smell out of it. If you can get over the wool and lanolin smell, the topper is really good.

Mine did not have a vinyl smell. You might try using an odor removal spray.

The smell is not that offensive so I haven't done anything. If I didn't have a kitten who would love to go after the hanging necklaces, I would leave the door open for awhile and maybe that would help. Maybe I will hang an air freshener inside. If you haven't filled it with jewellry yet you could spray something into the cabinet like Febreeze.+

I noticed the smell as well. I used them once for a potato sack race and noticed the smell was diminished, but still present. I would bet that if you hung them out in the sun for a few days it would go away.

I would suggest just hanging it out in the sun for a day or so and see if the material will relax in the heat of the sunlight.

The smell goes away after a while. I would spray it with fabreeze or something like that It has cardboard inside and washing it would destroy it.

Mine doesn't smell at all. I take it out at night so it can dry completely. Maybe you could try that. I hope that helps. I really like it!

If I remember correctly, there was a pungent aroma at first. However, over the last couple months it has faded down to near nothing (I just gave it a sniff now before writing this). I suppose if it's really bugging you, leave it outside in the sun for an hour or so (anything longer and it might start cracking due to its fake nature) to let any coatings or chemicals off-gas.

It's the way it smells for about two or three days. It does go away if not contact the seller mine did the same thing and is fine now. Flipping it over once or twice helped it air out.

I had the same problem. I turned it on high setting and quickly turned it off when I smelled something burning. The next day, I turned it to low, then medium, then high setting with no problem. Not sure where the smell comes from.

Hi Jo,I don't know because out unit does't have those smell.Is it brand new? Maybe that's one of the reasons. Let it work for a while and see how it's gonna happen. If it doesn't change at all, you should send it back soon! Hope this help!

It sounds to me like you were thawing the freezer, which is always a smelly Process. First use hot water & soap to clean the freezer rot, and then run the ozone generator to clear up any remain odors.

Since we r in CA. I just empty all the water out of it and let it sit out in the sun. You could also use a blow dryer.

Its a dreadful kerosene/diesel smell. We left it outside all winter and all summer. I doused it in febreeze and hosed it down. Everything that touches it stinks. After about 9 months in the sun, rain and winter it smells less, but if we leave it in the car on a hot summer day the smell comes back in full force. Best of luck

I have never had mine emit this smell, so I would recommend you check to make sure you took all the adhesive film off all the surfaces. If you have already done that, then I would send it back if you can.

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!

I hung ours on a door that is a walk in closet. It's in the closet so I notice no smell. Try fabreezing the inside or using dry cache's of your favorite potpourri.
