I just received this and it's great for what I'm using it for. My only question, how do I get the smell of oil off of it?

We ordered this also, and it came with a terrible chemical smell. Leaving outside all day didn't help dissipate the odor. It's coming from the 'leather' or faux leather at the end of the scope. Can't seem to get any answer from the seller. Beware! I asked my d-i-l to put it away until we know. (purchased as a prop for a young 'pirate'.)

mine had no oil smell. however; cedar wood chips or a closet cedar block will remove unpleasant smells. just put it and the cedar in a small box for a couple days.

Sorry Anharii, mine didn't smell of oil. The only thing I can suggest is wiping it down with a damp soapy cloth and then drying it thoroughly. To avoid subsequent corrosion, I would suggest applying a little baby oil - baby oil is simply refined mineral oil (otherwise known as white oil) with a little fragrance added. It's non toxic and smells better than industrial mineral oil. Hope this helps.

Mine has this terrible smell too! It stank up the house and now it's outside stinking up my patio. I would describe it more as formaldehyde. Just return it, that's what I'm doing. This is going nowhere near my eye.

hmmm...I might think about returning it. There was no oil or smell of oil on ours. Makes me think something got spilled on it in the factory or something. Good luck.

There is no particular smell from the oil. The comb is made of plastic though. As far as how it is infused into the oil, I am not sure. I really only bought it because it seemed like a good sturdy comb from the reviews and I can attest to that. The "oil" part wasn't something I really focused on at all. I can't tell that it even has that in it.

I didn't notice any smell to it besides the normal "plastic" smell. I am not using it for water containment so I did not really pay that much attention to it. Maybe soaking it with water and vinegar and then letting it air out with the top off would get rid of the smell?

For me, it smells like oil, for a lack of better description. I wouldn't say it is fishy. The smell doesn't bother me. It slowly disappears. I prefer it to fragrance.

I run my almost constantly but it does not cover more than the room its in. The oil smells for around 2 to 3 hrs and I just add to it to creat more scent. It cleans up nicely with alcohol. You can't leave it set with oil in it without having it on for more than a day or two, the oil gets thick and clogs it.

I've had mine for about 2 months and haven't had a problem. And to be honest the first time I cleaned it was yesterday. I have been using DoTerra oils in it. Hopefully the manufacturer or vendor can provide you some help.

I switch scents all the time. Just rinse it out and wipe with a paper towel, refill with distilled water and add your favorite oil.

Use it as you would any oil. It does retain the coconut smell so be mindful of that.

I think you just burn it off. I know you don't put it in the dishwasher. We oil is before every use.

I didn't read it. I use citrus oils in it. No lingering smell of citrus after I clean it. I clean after every use.

I have not used any oil with mine since I've had it. Not sure where you can get it.

not sure. I just think that is how the oil in is is supposed to smell... its awful. I cannot use it. I am back to my icy hot spray which I LOVE!

From my online research the fishy smell is normal for pure rosehip seed oil, mine is the same in odor. I store it in the fridge and that seems to neutralize the odor somewhat

There is a small metal disk to drip oil on. The disk can be rinsed off between uses. It is perfect for diffusing essential oils.

Just take one side of it and press to the edge. The other side will pop up and you can remove it easily. Its not so much the moisture as it is the oil buildup. Remember to clean with mild soap and hot water frequently. this should help

Hello Ana, The oil smells so good. I am using the essences for bath salts. They are wonderful.Enjoy

I think it has a bit of a musky smell but it is only at first and it isn't super unpleasant imo. I put Young Living Gentle a Baby blend in mine sometimes to help with wrinkles and I can't smell the rosehip seed oil at all after that.
