I bought 4 of these rugs, different sizes. I LOVE them. They are thick, true to color, and very nice for the prices! My only issue is that one out of the 4 rugs (a 2'3 X 8' runner) has a very, very strong and offensive smell. Somewhere between a chemical and mildewy smell. I have sprayed it with Lysol, left it outside all day and night. I have no idea how to fix it. I was going to look at returning it (although I figured that would be a pain and cost me money), but I just saw there are no other rugs that same size. Any suggestions??? Why only one of the 4 would smell so badly? This makes no sense. I'm bummed.  

Pros: true to color, very thick and soft, great price
Cons: one out of 4 rugs has a very strong and offensive odor!
