How can I get the chemical smell out of mine? It leaves my clothes and even my skin smelling awful! I have had it for going on 3 months.

I didn't notice a smell either. Sounds terrible, I'm so sorry you are dealing with that.

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.

Mine became smelly after several months. Not a nice smell. Does not seem to affect my skin, but I am nervous about continued use

I also have this problem and I have two of these machines. It is horrible, I washed it and replaced the water and a few hours later the same smell and metallic taste, Im sick about it. I have been using this for my newborn for 2 months!! It is either the steel plate at the bottom or its the plastic, either way, its awful! I called the company and they said wash it out with vinegar, still doesn't work.

The smell was not bad on mine, but if it were, I would wipe it down with a solution of 3:1 white vinegar and water. Hope this helps.

I couldn't use mine for nearly 6 months because of the smell. Now after using baking soda and lots of fresh air it has no smell and I love it.l

You can remove the outer covering and toss it in the wash. Or you could try to vacuum it. The smell on mine dissipated in a little over a week. So you have to deal with it for now. The more you "re-fur" it, the sooner it stops smelling weird.

It's probably the filter. You might need to buy a new one. I know they say it will last a lifetime but after you wash them if they don't dry fast enough they smell horrible. This happened to me recently. It was really humid and the filter didnt dry very well.... I was desperate and put it back in the vacuum to use it. Bad mistake. Every time I turned on the vacuum it made the whole house stink!

I got mine, opened the box and was almost knocked over. The smells is horrible so I took it out of my house.I'm hoping that over time it will go away, but it can't be good to breath that smell in,, it's really that bad. I wouldlove to send it back.

I noticed that, too, when I got mine, plus the chemical smell. Used it anyway and it just seems to go away after a while. And the stickiness doesn't get on skin.

Hello Tricia :) After I use it, I rinse off all the dead skin with water. Sometimes I use a little of my body wash / soap. I wring it out and let it dry. I always smell mine before use to make sure there is no mildew or anything...hope this helps :)

When I received the blanket and opened it up I was taken back by the smell. But I managed to make it go away by washing it in wool lite like 2 times. As of to date I have not put it away for any amount of time. Hope that answers your question. Sorry for taking soooooo long to get back at you. Life gets in the way sometimes.

Mine has a little bit of a funny smell but it is normal, not off putting it is also very light in color. If you feel yours is truly bad then I would call the company you received it from. Did you purchase from the same company? It may vary from company to company. I'm just a customer. Its my first time using it so I am not a expert in this field.

Put it in the dryer on low for an hour with a dryer sheet, or wet a washcloth with fabric softener. It may take a few cycles but it will go away. I have had mine for three days now and no odor at all.
