Hi Sandra! Mine was fine. Smelled a little strong of new plastic but the odor dissipated after the first washing with some dishes. I love these mats; they fit great in the sinks and look good with the stainless steel sink. I don't leave mine in the sink though; I only use them when I'm washing dishes so I don't know about staining.

It did have a smell like new plastic that eventually went away.But a skunk like odor...I would have to say mine did not.

No, mine had minor rubbery Smell but after couple of washes it was neutralized. Other than that, build quality is great, pour boiling water from rice a lot of times. No complaints.

No skunk odor out-of-box. However, after 3 months, my wife go really tired of how nasty it became due to trapped food underneath. It needed to be washed in dishwasher 2 X a week to get out stains and sanitize. Discarded a week ago and replaced with wire grid rack with hole for drain access.

Yes, mine stinks and it hasn't dissipated in the 4 weeks it's been in the sink.

Because I also read complaints re: odor. I opened up the Krate and left it to air out prior to letting my dog in it. I haven't had any unusual odors, since!

Hello,I got this vac and have had no problems. There was a bit of a smell the very first time I used it, but by the second time there was nothing noticeable. Mine has been a wonderful machine to use with absolutely no problems. I hope that you have the same experience.

I did not like this myself, I do not know if this is from the same seller, but when I received there was a horrible smell, so I contacted the seller, and found out they only accepted returns if it was defective. so it was a big to do, and would of cost more to send it back thank, because I had to pay restocking fee, and plus postage. so I threw it away, hope this helps

I did notice the smell but mine wasn't what I would call strong. And it did air out. Haven't noticed since the first day. Hope this helps.

Mine had no unpleasant smell. Yours may have come in contact with a wandering ill smell during packing and/or shipping.

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.

Yep, that is a perfect description of the smell, which has existed from day one taking it out of the box. I tried febreeze and sitting it outside in the sun for two days to see if UV rays could kill, and if anything the smell got worse. I finally just threw it away after owning it for about a month. Sorry that doesn't help, but I just wanted you to know you aren't alone!

Not sure about the skunk but Definitely I will give a try. Use it fresh, and if it's possible used with the vacuum . Give it 20 minutes and try again you will know if it works in the next hour. Since does not stain use the entire bottle. For the price I will use it

mine had no particular odor but I bought it from an airport shop so maybe it was a while on display and that helped. That is at least what another reviewer suggested. By the way the price there was much lower that the regular price even with tax.

Mine did not smell the same. Be careful, maybe something is wrong. If I were you I return it and replace it with another one.

the packaging may contribute to the odor. I am extremely sensitive to synthetic odors. You may not have that problem. Best wishes

Ours didn't have that odor to it at all. But I would try some kinda heavy detergent. Hope this helps

Hi, the one I bought has the same smell. I think that's normal. It does not bother me.

Umm it smelled new other than that I love ours! Had for year and a half or more! Holding up great!!!!

Personally, I would exchange it. When I first opened the package, mine had zero smell to it. Absolutely none. Which is exactly what we're paying so much extra money for, right?! I would assume there's something wrong with yours. I absolutely love mine.

I've never smelled that odor. However if it needs to be wiped down or vacuumed it does have a funny smell that is kind of strong. Must be the buildup of the bacteria from the air. We've had ours for several years and only replaced the filter cartridge once but we vacuum it regularly.
