My mute smells like a toxic waste dump. Do they all smell like this? It is so bad it gives me a headache when I 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 would send the violin back to where you purchased it. I bought my daughter and myself one and neither one of the violins smells bad. The violins should have a warrenty. I would not play it call the company and get a RMA for the violin and get another.

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 haven't experience this. It seems to be cleanable, and I haven't had any smell problems. I did purchase a small air filtered I installed to help when they have bigger messes.

I bought the 17005 used and it has been giving off a vomit-like odor since I got it. I installed a new pre-filter so I think the permanent filter must be releasing odors. I wish it was washable, not just vacuum - the smells might come out better. I do not want to drop another $40 for a new filter. That would be almost what I paid for the air cleaner!

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.

I can definitely relate, as the smell is over powering. I use scented plug-ins in the areas where I use these and that has seemed to help. I've used this product over a year and either I have gotten used to the smell or it fades over time or the plug-ins work. I don't notice the smell anymore.

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

You might want to consider returning it and getting another one if the smell persists. Ive had mine for almost a year and have never had any issues with oders of any kind. Im thinking something with yours isnt quiet right.. maybe. I like mine so much if it ever quits I'll prob get another one. Dont know if this helps you any but good luck.

Mine was pretty smelly too...and then it completely fell apart after a week so I tried to get a refund. Amazon only gave me 20% since I couldn't return the item (as you know, it's big and heavy and once it's assembled it's kind of tough to put it back in the box). So...if yours still isn't assembled I'd advise returning it before you're stuck with a bad product.

Hmm, I just went over and sniffed our set and I don't smell anything in particular. I think we've had this since July, so perhaps it's off-gassed since then but I really don't remember the set having a toxic smell when we opened it and started playing with it.

Yes. I tried to sleep on mine the first night and I woke up with ringing ears and a headache, and the sensation I was sleeping in a petrochemical plant. It kind of concerns me -- what is causing that odor? It's an irritant at the least and... could it be carcinogenic?? I'm going to give these a couple of days and a few runs through the dryer and see if they air out.

I don't remember if I noticed anything when I got it, but probably not. I just got up close to mine to see if there's any odor now, but all I smell is the sisal. How annoying for you!

Ugh, yes!! I ran four batches of ice through and a couple cups of vinegar hoping it would help but it hasn't! I am afraid to feed the ice to my kids because of the toxic smell!! How in the world do we get it to go away!?

I noticed it too, I only own it for about a day or two. I will give it a week or two max before returning it. No way I can live with this smell, it smells like brand new plastic x1000.

Hello MPollack, Thank you for contacting Tools for Wellness. Sometimes a new unit will emit a light odor, it's because of the heat of the ceramic core and the outer shell of the Air Purifier being plastic. This occurs generally when a heat source is first introduced into a closed area. Please be assured that the smell is not harmful in anyway and will dissipate within 1 week, if not sooner. If we can be of further assistance let us know. Thank you ! Gail

I can't say I've ever seen my get hairy. I put mine in my canister filter and it will develop a coat of slime after a month or so. I try to replace it monthly, so it's not usually that bad. I can't say I've ever smelled it either, but if it was bad, I'm sure I'd notice. You might want to check your ammonia levels or something to see if there is something going on in your tank. It may be just absorbing something that's there.

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.
