has the smell problem been taken care of?

I washed the crate. Sprayed it with Nature's Miracle and then washed it again with Dawn and water. Rinsed it and the smell did go away. My dog loves the crate and sleeps in it at night. I have two and carry one in the car constantly. When I visit etc. I use it for my peace of mind. Lorraine

I noticed when I set it up, it had a rubbery smell, but I've only used the crate once. Bought it for traveling to friends houses, and the dog didn't need to use it.

Yes, it smells. I've tried washing it with soap and water, plus rinsing with listerine. It helped a little bit. I'm just hoping time will get rid of the smell.

I have. I have only had the fan for a few days and it is starting to bother me. I have no idea what it is. Has the smell stopped for you?

Yes! We bought a new trailer and it was full of all kinds of chemical smell. It took a while for all those materials to "out gas". But the Health mate made it possible for us to use the unit without getting any headaches.

Not sure, maybe it's old? Mine did not and doesn't smell bad now. Good luck.

Hi Jo,I don't know because out unit does't have those smell.Is it brand new? Maybe that's one of the reasons. Let it work for a while and see how it's gonna happen. If it doesn't change at all, you should send it back soon! Hope this help!

Yes, I have not had any odor issues. I guess when it swings open, the smell could escape, but it closes nicely.

Have had no problems with bad odors after any use. But you can always try baking soda, hydrogen peroxide or vinegar (just one of those) if you have odor issues.

I had a smell when I first started using it, but it was a new smell that went away in a day or two. Nothing since then.

We did not notice any smell. We have had it about a year and are very happy with it.

IMO, not at all. I am sensitive to smells, and this does not have any odor I have been aware of. I think I have had it about 3 months or so, and it is great.

I haven't had that issue. Maybe try vinegar to neutralize any smell and then your regular detergent.

Sorry to hear that, ours did not have a smell since we received it...not sure what to advise you to do

No not yet but then again we don't use it that much. If I was you I would request a replacement unit from the seller or your money back. That smell in most cases is probably toxic and you need to let the seller no that,and if they don't comply I would get AMAZON INVOLVED.

I haven't noticed a weird smell other than that "new" smell in the beginning. Anything other than that tends to go away.

No I don't. It did bother me for a couple of days, but the smell went away and now I don't notice it.

No, we didn't but opened it outdoors. You might try Nok-Out Odor Eliminator and/or a water sealer to help with the odor.
