how long does it take for the initial smell to go away? Or what is the best method of making the smell go away?

Remove the cover and wash twice. Let air out w/o the cover on for a full 48 hours amd you should be good!

With our purchase the smell went away after the first couple of weeks. It's not an overpowering smell and with clean washed sheets you can't smell it.

Get a lint roller, they're like 2 dollars at most grocery stores and will get rid of the weird feather/dust stuff. As for the smell, that's just the scent of factory, just keep the bean bag in a place with a good amount of air circulation and the smell will go away on its own after about 2 weeks.

It doesn't smell the best, but its not bad. I've used other solutions and they all have some type of smell. Would'nt want to smell it all day, but its ok for the short time you're using 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.

Think the instructions say something about cleaning it but if not I'd mix a little bleach and water swish it around should help with the smell

If memory serves, it took about a week for the odor from my Brentwood mattress to disappear. My other half has a very sensitive nose and has no problems with the mattress.

Wish I had a exact time when the smell is gone but it shouldn`t be too long because I haven`t noticed the smell anymore. I think it might have been less then a week. But you could always try putting it in the washing machine or fill the tub with a little laundry soap swish it around & let it soak for awhile , maybe that would help. Sorry if this doesn`t answer your question

The instructions are to take the pillow cover off and let it air out for 2-3 days before use. We did that and the smell went away. Expose it so all you see is the foam material and let it air out.

I've had my mats on for about a month now. I used an air freshener to combat the smell and it's pretty much all gone....or I'm just used to it.

Not really sure. I covered a post and let it sit for 24 hours in 80 degree weather. It continued to smell after 24. Less intense but still there. The post was buried and the smell obviously disappeared. I imagine the smell will go away eventually as time goes on. The question is, how much time?

It's the way it smells for about two or three days. It does go away if not contact the seller mine did the same thing and is fine now. Flipping it over once or twice helped it air out.

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.

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

It smells very little which is gone in a few minutes.The directioons say every 4 hours so that's what I would do.

I don't notice a bad smell either. Sorry I am not much help either. I guess I am used to the smell and it goes away pretty quick after you put it on.

The smell goes away after about 5 min. I've never doused anything with it, so if it spills, I'm not sure what to do about that.

I use this for the smell and not the stain (own a SPOTBOT for stains, which does get rid of the smell). For strong ones, might take several cycles to get rid of the smell. One batch I had, the actual product had a smell as well. Both the urine and product smell went away after 3 cycles in about a two week period. The oldest stains are probably only a few weeks or maybe a couple months old.
