Hi, I 've used it after acqua gym for 3 days in a row and it didn't smell at all. Of course, I hung it on a line afterwards

No doesn't appear so.The product information states: odors that may come from pets, garbage, bathrooms, litter boxes, smoke and cooking; and 99.7% of allergens include ragweed pollen, grass pollen, tree pollen, household dust, dust mite debris, mold spores, pet dander and smoke.Nothing indicates germs and bacteria. If the company thinks they could get away with advertising Germs/Bacteria, they surely would. I for one don't even think it does what it currently states (Just my opinion though).

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.

Mine had the odor for maybe a couple days but if you use it frequently, the odor goes away. I try to run it with the "COOL" setting off for a few minutes before shutting it down when I am done with it. That seems to work for me as I haven't had any odor from it for weeks.

although I read on some of the reviews that they did have an odor, I personally did not experience this. Mine smelled just fine. In fact, I bought these to replace some that I had washed and caused to develop an odor.

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 have not noticed any odors or smells but this isn't my primary device so I don't use it a lot. I will deliberately check it and if there is any strange odor I will comment back. :)

So these other products didn't work? I can't speak to using them after using something else, but if the smell/issue is still there, this product still might dissolve whatever is left...our issue was severe and we had to do several applications both on top and in our sofa cushion, but it did save our couch and there is no smell. (Severe poop juice from an old cat...)

Hi- I had no odor with mine. I really like it but it is very firm so if you don't like firm you should pass

No. there is no odor from the product. I don't think it masks the odor either but eliminates it.

In the beginning only. It wasnt a bad odor, it just smelled like there was something being cleaned kind of? Sorry can't explain too well. In any case the smell goes away. Also I thought it would have been bigger than the picture. But it doea what it needs to and we use it all day and all night since we've bought it.

It does dissipate after a short while. Not long till it's odor free. I didn't find the smell as offensive as some. I'd buy it again.

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.

No. I vented it in the room that it is being used. I ran a flexible pipe above the sink to prevent overflow. I don't get any odor and it works well.

Not at all--and I'm very sensitive to those kinds of odors. It's in my finished basement with limited ventilation, and I sit near it when I knit and there is no odor.

Actually, I dont smell any odors...but if you do, I suggest you just air it out before you use it. Hope that helps!
