How bad is the smell, really, &amp; how long does it take to dissipate?

The smell when you first spray it is a chemical smell so it should be applied in a well ventilated area,but it dissapates in a short time. We sprayed our tent and two hours later we were in the tent with no smell.We sprayed our rainsuits and boots and as soon as they were dry ,we put them on.

To be honest, I've had this for over 2 years now. When the smell went away, I have no idea. However, it is gone now and I love it.

The smell is bad, but it goes away quickly in a well ventilated area. My suggestion would be to fluff it daily and turn it over daily until the smell dissipates.

This was done outside on our deck by my husband. I thought it smelled pretty awful; he did not (not uncommon). However, it dissipated in a reasonable amount of time. I remember suggesting a mask when he did the application, but he did not use one.

It doesn't smell the best, but its not bad. I've used other solutions and they all have some type of smell. Would'nt want to smell it all day, but its ok for the short time you're using it.

I opened cupboards, draws etc. and also disconnected gas stove (if you have one). I put a bomb in each room through out our duplex. We vacated for I believe 4-6 hours (that's including any pets you may have). Afterwards open all windows to air out all the fumes. Hope this was helpful, and good luck!

I don't remember how long it had that beginning smell. But I ran mine on high some and low almost all the time, have to make sure the cool button is pushed too. It seemed to clear out but did take several days.

When I used this, I went room by room, made sure the window was open first. I just held my breath, sprayed the room, and shut the door. When I did the main part of the house, I did it right before we left for the dog park, so we were not there inhaling fumes. I would hold my breath, spray as much as I could, walk away from the area to breathe. The floors were dry after about a half hour, but there was still a slight smell. I think it took about 4 hours for the smell to dissipate as well.

I would recommend no sooner than an hour ! even after that, there is a slight residual ozone odor, but if you can open windows and doors, it will be totally gone sooner.

My husband and I are extremely sensitive to smells and neither of us had an issue with this product. If you want to play it safe I would suggest taking it out of the plastic bag and air it for a couple of days.

LOL! It was pretty bad the first day - I got a headache from it. I don't smell it at all now and it's been less than a week.

it depends on how much you put on. Yes the smell remains, I had people move away from me in public even after a shower. And if it gets on your clothes cause of sweat it gets into the clothes. It took me three washes to get it out.

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!

Actually, I dont smell any odors...but if you do, I suggest you just air it out before you use it. Hope that helps!

Honestly... a solid few weeks. When we did our pop-up camper, we let it sit in our garage for a few weeks before the smell started to go away. It still lingered just a bit until our pop-up was rained on one camping weekend.

Not sure I can answer that question. It's not necessarily a bad odor, it's just a plastic odor that seems to never go away. It's tolerable once you get used to it.
