Does the latex/chemical smell air out easily? How long does it take?

The smell was too over powering for me to give it any length of time to go away. I returned the pillow.

No it doesn't air out easily. I put it outside for a few days (whether pending) but it didn't help all that much. I bought an insulated pillow protector and it helps quite a bit. But I won't be buying another one of these pillows soon.

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.

There's a light odor when it's initially unwrapped, but I haven't had any problems after letting it air out as the instructions say (to also make sure it expands completely after being compressed for shipping).

I didn't notice that. I think there may be some rubber smell, but it's not very serious, and with time flies I think the smell will disappear.

It had a very slight, but not offensive odor. I aired it out for 6 hours and it was completely gone. I really love it. Odor is really not an issue.

My laptop cover did smell pretty strongly. Like wetsuit material. It was a bit strong but it's faded over time. It's over 6 weeks now and there's no smell. For the price, it's definitely worth it especially knowing the smell will go away :)

I spayed latex paint using this filter with a pre filter that is made for it, as the result I could not smell any paint odor, I have not used it while spraying with laquer or enamal.

To me, the smell wasn't that bad. I aired it out overnight and didn't smell it anymore. I have my case next to my bedside and it's fine.

I'm sorry to say I just recently threw away the boxes that came with the washer balls. I am not 100% sure as to latex being in the material. The balls are a softer plyable plastic with some beads within that are charged once a month by placing in the sun. I have been very happy with my purchase and find that they do a great job cleaning. Even with a 9 and 11 year old it was taking out some tough stains. (Grass and dirt) I also own dryer balls from the Norwex company and find it is a great fit for drying after the washer balls. I would try contacting the company about the latex/natural rubber question. As for some I know latex can cause serious reactions. Sorry for not being more helpful.

Hi Almost all plastics will off-gas creating a smell when new however I do not recall any strong odor coming from this product. If you are super sensitive and find the smell objectionable, wipe it down with a 50/50 solution of vinegar/water and wipe dry. Keeping it away from heat and out of direct sunlight will also help to minimize any smell. In my opinion, smell will not be a problem with this product.

There was very little to no smell when I unpacked it. I left it open and let it air out for a day (about 8 hours) before using it. No problems since I bought it 8 months ago.

I used it with waterbased stain, and the nozzle kept clogging up. I had to stop every minute or so to remove the gunk from the spray head. Based on my experience, I wouldn't trust it to be particularly effective with latex. But it is easy to clean.

We just used it right away. I didn't notice any odors. Never thought of airing it out.

I bought this item also! The smell will go away by itself once you take it out of the box. Let the mannequin breathe and it should go away within a day.

I guess I never noticed an odor on my mat, and I've been using them for many years. I keep the plastic protector on it when I'm not using it. And when it's in use, whatever paper I'm cutting is covering the mat. I would assume that the longer one uses it, the odor would begin to dissipate.

I never noticed any odor. The directions tell you to lay it out for 4 days before putting in on your bed. That helps it to air out so it doesn't smell.

I let mine air out for a couple days after washing really well. Smell goes away after a while.

They paint up very nicely, however I don't have experience with the heat possibly changing paint color over long periods of time. Also allow 1-2 days of them being on for the paint fumes to go away. Otherwise they're already primed and everything! :) Latex worked fine for me.
