How do I get rid of the smell???

The smell is temporary - may be 30-45 days.You could get rid of it quicker, if you leave it under the sun in your backyard during the day when you go to work and take it back after sunset. If you do that 4-5 times, you may get rid of 70-80% of the smell in a week.

It goes away after some time. Ours no longer smells but it was a few months time before that happened. If you have a garage you could place it in to air it out for awhile or place it outside if you live in a warmer weather state.

I used some febreeze at first. The smell didn't persist beyond a couple weeks.

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.

If by "get rid of", you mean add its bleach like odor to the smell of sweat and B.O... Honestly, I stopped spraying it because it was so disgusting to me. Maybe someone else who has used it for the purpose you are describing should jump in.

Leave it out in the air...Mother Nature has her way of cleansing bad odors quickly. I didn't have an odor problem with my case but I would do the above if I did. Good luck!

I has worked for me, if you scrub it in good with a broom or stiff brush, is pretty good to remove odor too.

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.

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.

Probably, it could not hurt to get rid of the smell, one in each corner of the room, hope this helps, good luck.

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.

wash it out with bleach and use Nok-out. You may have to do it a few times. I sprayed i down good and left it overnight then did it again and again until the smell was pretty well gone

You won't notice any real smell. spray, let it sit, wipe it off and leave the windows down so it can air out. Even if you clean it and then go for a ride, as long as you keep the windows down to let it air out, the smell does not stay long. I rarely notice it myself

Depending on how bad it is you can use an upholstery cleaner to remove it, if that does not work Steam cleaning will kill the bacteria that is causing the smell.

I am not aware of any way to turn the scent off. I have had mine for about 3 months and the scent is still there.

Just spray the spot with a freaks mixture of Odormute, then let it dry. Repeat if needed, but with a fresh mixture.

That's correct, soaking the item in warm water and baking soda will remove the smell quickly. Thanks for shopping with DGS Novelties.

once you get the smell it is hard to get out!!! What i have done to get the mildew or wet dog smell out is soak similar colors for up to an hour or overnight is they are close colors...i have had problems with the colors leaking onto lighter colors...so make sure they are similar. I would use a big heaping scoop in a bucket of hot water and soak away and wash in hot water with another scoop after soaking. took care of my stuff:) Hope I helped!! OOh and as the person below said vinegar is amazing!!! I just wash it once with vinegar, wash again with baking soda if needed, then another round with detergent also...that is for the really bad stuff. once you get the smell it is hard to get out!!!

� it should help but I would scrub with bleach and repaint. Then use 0 odor to maintain.
