I did not have that problem. It maybe the smell of the rubber/plastic compound that it's made of after being enclosed in it packaging. It should dissipate within a couple of days at the most. Otherwise I would contact the manufacturer

Mine did not smell other than the smell of leather and I personally like that smell so guess I'm if no help..but I have heard of people putting charcoal briqiets in things and putting it in an airtight bag for awhile and the briquets absorb the smell..

I washed the crate. Sprayed it with Nature's Miracle and then washed it again with Dawn and water. Rinsed it and the smell did go away. My dog loves the crate and sleeps in it at night. I have two and carry one in the car constantly. When I visit etc. I use it for my peace of mind. Lorraine

This can be remedied very easily. Purchase the largest size (50 or more gallon) heavy trash bags...my preference is the type that is rolled or box, of at least 20. Stretch top OVER outside upper rim, thence tighten the plastic string that is usually made to tighten top of bag when full. Day that Trash is picked up, lift from the outside rim, and tie well. The Toter will stay clean, and this will assist with "odors". I also use a scent that is taped onto inside of the lid...lemon is my favorite...as most receptacles are not well taken care of. Mine is an investment ... so it is treated as such. Excellent quality and time saver. Hope this supplies a solution. Good Luck! Chris

I don't know. I just know it smelled really, really strong (gassy odor). Its been sitting open in the garage for the past two weeks and the odor is just about gone. I wouldn't buy it again. And I would suggest that if you buy it as a gift, you get it far enough in advance you can open it up and let it air out for several weeks before giving it.

I've used it for my garbage and also one in my recycling bin. One thing Ive noticed though, even though it's mint-scented, the odor of the garbage comes through the bag pretty strongly-Even though I use a 13 gallon closed lid aluminium bin. So I have to change this brand of bag more reguarly than when I used Hefty bags or similar...

Mine doesn't smell at all. I take it out at night so it can dry completely. Maybe you could try that. I hope that helps. I really like it!

Haul it outside in the sun...bring it in at night and do not let it get wet...that worked for me. The smell does go away...

I don't know, but I do know if you seal the bag properly when you open it the clothes in the bag will smell like your washing detergent or your fabric softner. I always spray a small square of cloth with lavender and it in the bag (after it has dried) and everything comes out beautifully and I have had some bags of clothes stored for four years.

I've had my vacuum 1 1/2 years and I have changed it once. Some of the dust and dirt will come out if it is tapped on a hard surface. I do this each time I change the bag. We have 3 small indoor dogs. When I vacuumed the other day I noticed that dusty stale odor. Guess it's time to change it. But you should be able to see the dirt that won't shake out.

You wanna turn the bag upside down and start trying to prime the air out, if you squeeze it while priming it will eventually get the air out. At least that's what I remember doing. We haven't had one in several years.

The bag is full of dog hair and you cant smell it from exhaust. Do not buy from Amazon mine did not have a serial number could be chinese knock off or refurbished. ...

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

Depending on how bad it is you can use an upholstery cleaner to remove it, if that does not work Steam cleaning will kill the bacteria that is causing the smell.

After having the bag in my closet for a few months now, any manufacturing and packaging odors have faded. If I hold the bag up to my nose there's a lingering scent similar to mothballs. No, I don't keep mothballs in the closet.
