If a smell develops on the outside, you can use bleach. If a smell develops on the inside, hand wash them by submerging them in water mixed with shampoo and let air dry.

I have not had any problems with smell. However, I do empty it every day or every other day depending on quantity.

You can control the smell by adding nitrogen/wood pellets.What you can not control is the dripping, there will be liquid that drips from the seams.

i don't know about that, because my application is just as an annual treatment. however, you can try various "natural odor eliminators", such as baking soda, borax,etc. just go online to research these applications. good luck!!!

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

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.

No. If it smells , it's bad. I would suggest that you return it for a replacement. Hope this helps, Maria

I use it for areas with a bad smell, laundry etc. Where is your odor coming from? If it/s from mildew, you also need to stop the dampness.

Not sure what bad smell others are talking about, I have not had that experience. Both my pillows are fine, and have no smell, however, when I want an oder out of something I put it in a garbage bag with a bunch of baking soda poured in it and leave it for 3 days, then check it. If I wash something I use vinegar to take smells out. And, yes I've washed down before, the trick is getting it dry. I hang it on the line all day, and it must be a fairly hot day or it won't dry.

Take the charcoal filter out and use 1-3 ratio of vinegar to water on clean cycle. Then run two more times on clean cycle with plain water to get the vinegar smell out!

I haven't had that issue. Maybe try vinegar to neutralize any smell and then your regular detergent.

Maybe 10 to 15 minutes as soon as you can catch the smell you need to stop it because the air is ionized enough. You can redo this several time in case of viruses going around...Hope this heps

I'm not sure if this will work if something has soaked into the wood. You may want to try a solution of diluted vinegar and water and maybe put an opened box of baking soda in there for a bit. I've also heard that plain charcoal will help absorb odors.
