Does anyone know how to remove the strong odor (odor like a tire) out?

I ordered a black one from a non-prime partner which took 3 weeks to arrive and it has a strong odor. It is definitely a knock-off and not an official Quirky product. I will try soaking it in some cleaning products... I received one as a gift before I ordered this one and it is an official Quirky product and does not have the odor.

I got a black one, shipped directly from China by Get It Home company. The real Quirky product has the word Quirky engraved in the bottom of the device. This one is a knockoff without the Quirky logo. The odor is so bad that it permeates the room and I had to remove it from the house. In 5 days the odor has not lessened. I recommend not to buy any black ones.

There is no way, just toss it. I've bleached it, even letting it sulk for a full day. it stayed the same smell. Apparently it just the black ones that smell.

I received the black one and it smells like it has been dipped in gasoline. I have initiated a return, and am pretty displeased that I have to go through the process of returning. This product should be removed from Amazon immediately.

I have a pink one. When I opened the package, it had a little bit of odor, but it only lasted a few hours.

Should we just return the black knock-offs with strong odor? I waited a month for mine. The smell is very invasive.

Use vinegar water in a spray bottle. You can pretty much saturate the area and soak it up with a dry (preferably white) towel. Then air dry. This helps absorb odor too. Works on milk or urine on mattresses too.

You can use a citrus based solvent remover. I find turtle wax sticker remover in an aerosol can do the trick. Then you can wipe the oil/smell off with 70% proof alcohol, if the citrus oil smell bothers you.

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

Mine had quite a bit of an odor. I'm still in the process of airing it out. Hopefully that will take care of it.

It sounds to me like you were thawing the freezer, which is always a smelly Process. First use hot water & soap to clean the freezer rot, and then run the ozone generator to clear up any remain odors.

Unfortunately, after great expectations, we didn't use long enough to determine best location in refrigerator. Device emitted a very strong, very undesirable odor almost immediately. Sorry I cannot be of more assistance.

yes there is standard tire odor. It has been decreasing with time and usage.

If you don't have any GooGone on hand, try lamp oil or lighter fluid. Will come right off!

i found that it takes about month to get the factory odors out i believe it is the foam that has chemicals in it from making them that is giving off the odor so i sprayed my down with"" refresh ""and that seemed to get rid of scent

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 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

Don't waste your money on this product. .Use baking soda or campfor flakes orballs in a plastic bag or open the box andlet the product absorb the odor. .Another good product is Odor Buster which is an aerosol product sold in oldtime hardware stores such as Wise Hardware in Pelham , New Yorl .

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