Mine did not have a smell. However, like you, I'd let it air out to see if the odor will dissipate.

In the beginning only. It wasnt a bad odor, it just smelled like there was something being cleaned kind of? Sorry can't explain too well. In any case the smell goes away. Also I thought it would have been bigger than the picture. But it doea what it needs to and we use it all day and all night since we've bought it.

No it doesn't smell like mildew. It does have a pecular ordor when you open the package that disapears after a few hours. I would wait overnight before putting on the bed. It is thick so I gave mine to my grandaughter. She loves it.

I have never found if to have a strong odor. Mine doesn't and so far I have had no problems with using it ,

I never had a problem with a mildew smell. I washed out the cushion, twisted it (wrung it out) to remove the excess water, and hung it up to dry. I think those are the recommended care instructions. (I used it for my son, who is now 10 years old.) You should hang it up to dry after each use; it's easy to hang up in the bathtub.

After a while if you use your container for other than hot water it does leave an odor. I wash it with hot soapy water and rinse well. I then fill with vinegar and water and I just let it soak over night. This seems to do the trick for me.

No doesn't appear so.The product information states: odors that may come from pets, garbage, bathrooms, litter boxes, smoke and cooking; and 99.7% of allergens include ragweed pollen, grass pollen, tree pollen, household dust, dust mite debris, mold spores, pet dander and smoke.Nothing indicates germs and bacteria. If the company thinks they could get away with advertising Germs/Bacteria, they surely would. I for one don't even think it does what it currently states (Just my opinion though).

I am unaware of the antimicrobial material. However, there is no chemical or any initial or permanent smell. In fact, I have used it on mission (military) and it does not get "funky." The blanket is large, warm and lightweight. And not smelly, which is an incredible plus.

Wow! No, mine does not at all.Maybe try soaking it in a sink with some water and citrus hand soap or dish soap. Hopefully whatever is giving off the odor is just on the surface.

I just rinse it out weekly with a soap and water, works fine for me. I haven't had an issue with odor

I never noticed any unusual odor but just air it out for a while before you install it you won't have a problem this is a great quality product.

I have not noticed any odors or smells but this isn't my primary device so I don't use it a lot. I will deliberately check it and if there is any strange odor I will comment back. :)

I think it does - as I live in a small apartment - and I do not have any left-over cooking odors. However, my air purifier is in the bedroom, not in the kitchen. That's my best guess!

There is a slight odor but as long as you have proper ventilation you should be okay. I would really check with the maker of this product.

Dear Emili, I have purchased 3 of these and I have not noticed any smell. Have you tried washing the whole thing and not just the cover? We have washed ours several times and they come back to the same shape they were and fresh as can be.

Not really-I just used it and after reading your question I had to go back in the kitchen to see if I smelled anything. The answer was no, but I had been cooking. If there is an odor it is so minimal that it just isn't an issue.
