How long does the awful smell last?

Wish I had a exact time when the smell is gone but it shouldn`t be too long because I haven`t noticed the smell anymore. I think it might have been less then a week. But you could always try putting it in the washing machine or fill the tub with a little laundry soap swish it around & let it soak for awhile , maybe that would help. Sorry if this doesn`t answer your question

Well, I must say that I didn't pay much attention to it so I don't really know. I have two bathrooms and maybe that's why. Perhaps you could spray a bit of room spray on it. I have a wax warmer in my bathrooms that I keep going at all times and it seemed to override that smell. - Hope that helps

It works but not for very long. You might consider getting cedar blocks and sanding them down so the smell is strong. They hate that smell.

No noticeable smell after 2-3 days. That may change if you leave it longer!?

Ginger is right. It takes about a week for the smell to go away. Buy outdoors you may not notice it.

I don't recall mine having any kind of smell, however, I have read that you may have that smell during the first two or three weeks. If it continues after that then you may have a problem. My guess is that smell will gradually subside over a period of three weeks. Especially if it is continually running 24/7 - which mine is.

Depends how thick you put it on. Put it on thin it takes about 1/2 hr to an hour. I didn't notice the smell much after it dried.

I really wish I could answer that, but it doesn't smell like anything I am familiar with. It doesn't smell like anything, though, after it's on you for about 5 minutes. It just stops you from stinking.

I'm just a fellow buyer not the seller so I don't know the expiration date, but I will tell you I sent this purchase back because mine smelled really bad when I opened it. Amazon was very good about accepting it back and giving my money back again. I don't know if this was a one-time problem or would occur again.

-- less than a day or two.. I think - but can't remember the total time..Not long tho..maybe only one dayI know i did use it right away so evidentally odor did not bother me..

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.

I don't think 2-3 days would cause a lasting odor. I had to wash everything after storage, but then it was fine. My original objection was against the implication that clothes and linens could be used immediately after storage. If there is an odor after shipping, just wash things.

mine go for 2 months, maybe a week or two less if water is not as soft. it starts to get kind of dirty smelling after that ive found. it could go for 3 months probably for someone else, i could see that.

Mine came with the horrible smell as well. I put it outside to air out for a few days and I put it next to a bag of baking soda to absorb the odor too. After a few months, I've noticed that the smell is no longer present.

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.

Had mine for about a month now, and no one notices to smell, I can't give a number because I really don't remember how much times I've used this, I hope that helps

Mine was stolen out of my fridge at work, so I didn't get the chance to see if the smell ever went away. I can tell you in the 6 months I owned it, it still had a strong odor. My guess is that best case, it could lessen, but I don't think it will ever completely disappear.
