Seemingly an obvious question would be, is there a cedar odor that potentially transfers to the clothes?

No, because it is not a large piece of cedar. However we did experience an odor from the garment bags, which took a couple of weeks to subside. The garment bags are spacious and we are happy with this product.

You'd think so, but there isn't. Perhaps the first minute you remove the garment, but once it hits the air, it's totally fine. (And if any scent lingers, cedar is a nice one to have, as opposed to the scent of moth balls.) Hope this helps.

No. just enough odor that it keeps the moth's away! It really isn't noticeable on the clothes that are stored there.

No, not really. There is a very small piece of Cedar in the bag for protection...but the scent doesn't invade the clothes. Perhaps, when the bag is opened after a time there is a mild scent...but not noticeable on the clothes when I wear them...Hope that helps.

Not that I am aware of. I have been using this item for years with no problems. Maybe the smell is from the plastic.

Nope it does not have an odor. Maybe you can get a refund and send it back?

Sometimes there is a distinct odor to raw silk products. I used to notice this in silk knit sweaters back when those were so popular. It does go away after a washing or two.

Mine smells like I would expect new furniture to smell. No issues storing my blankets in here :)

Not sure but this has a very strong smell. I will honestly use something else for clothing if I were you. GL

I used a couple of table spoons and I did not combine it with anything else but I am sure you could add oxy clean or borax for a boost. I didn't notice a piney smell on the clothing.

If there was, I didn't notice it. We use them for our rentals and I haven't noticed any odors from them since we bought them months ago. If there is an odor, you can just wash it before you use it.

It smelled like cedar, and it's outdoor fabric...like the tougher outdoor stuff you can buy. It's REALLY tiny though in my opinion. I think 2-4 years old size. My 7 year old looks like a giant on it, but it fits my 3 yr old fine.

No. I didn't detect any strong odor. I even put my clean laundry directly into the cart without compromising the fresh smell.

We do not experience such an odor. I would return if such phenomenon occurred. Sorry about your experience !

Not at all. I bought it for a guest bedroom and My sister was the first one to use it. She loved the headboard and made no mention of any odor.

There was a slight odor. It really didnt bother me. Perhaps time or maybe set outside in the fresh air. Good Luck!

That smell is the water-proofing on the material; it will no go away but if you let the poncho air out and sun it on both sides (30 minutes to a side should do it this time of year [May], more sun = less time). If you try to neutralize the odor with chemicals, dilute with water and do not scrub; use a soft cloth and be gentle!

Hi! I don't recommend you to buy this... It looks nice but the material from which is made isn't good. It has this smell which doesnt want to go away. U cannot keep there clothes because they get this chemical smell. I think about throw it away... However, I would recommend you to buy this: Sauder Shoal Creek 4-Drawer Chest in Oiled Oak. It not only look nice but it doesnt smell.

No not that I noticed. I wiped everything down with a Clorox wipe after assembly but I never noticed a smell beforehand.

Cedar! It smells great for a while, then fades like all cedar does. I think the fabric is canvas. It is holding up well for us.
