How do you get rid of smell of tires?

We just left the tires sit in the garage for a couple weeks... the smell was mostly gone! Then after using it on a couple walks with our small children, the smell was completely gone. So I think it just takes time to get the 'new rubber' smell gone.

Hi, I would try cleaning it with white distilled vinegar. It will kill the smell if you get it into/under the gasket/seal. Hope this helps.

I don't think it's specifically the wheels that smell but the cart does have an unpleasant odor at first. I've had mine a while now and the good news is that the odor dissipates with time.

Mine didnt have a rubber smell, thats weird. But I would probably try hand washing it with dish soap or vinegar and air dry

With it being a new item, it may take a little while for the smell to go away. You could probably take a very lightly dampened cloth with fabreeze and wipe it down to see if that helps a little.

Mine didn't smell, but you could try a little bleach and fill with water. Then, dry it out and leave the lid off of it.

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.

Nadda. The only thing I have ever heard of doing that is bleach based tire cleaners (which are rare)

After I installed it, it had the new rubber bellows smell, over time this will leave, you need to keep the bellows clean and dry after using, this will prevent the mold smell from forming.

I still have a slight smell. I also have air fresheners in the car vents. Try leaving your windows open and moonroof as often as possible weather permitting it definitely helps get rid of the smell

Use a vacuum cleaner hose set on reverse.Lots of lung exercise also works but it takes a long time ;-)

Use white vinegar. It will smell when it is wet, but once dry, the smell is gone.

I know what you mean. They smelled bad for about a day and a half. I put the trike outside on our screen porch. The smell went away in that time. Yes, the smell goes away! Try putting it outside, if you can put it in a protected area, like a porch.

Yes. Use a solution if vinegar and water. It helps get the smell if rubber out and it cleans it nicely. I use a spray bottle and a towel.

Run it for twenty or thirty minutes outside - it will burn off the residue that is causing the bad smell - then just bring it in and turn it on. For the most part it works very well.

The tires on the cart I received just a few weeks ago have a schrader (same kind that's on a car) valve to inflate the tires. The tires are stinky (I leave it outside, the smell is getting less) but they work.

Would have to get a strong air freshner but they will. The smell is like a really strong rubber smell for the 1st couple of weeks.
