I ordered this rug for my bedroom. It was only after I put it in my room with all my furniture placed on it that I noticed it had a chemical smell to it. Probably didnt sleep in my room for at least a week and left a window open to help air it out. Customer service suggested taking it outside to air out and offered free return due to the smell. I live in the PNW (picture gloom and rain 85% of the year) and do not have a large covered area to leave it. I used carpet deodorizers, baking soda, frequent vacuuming and febreeze on it for weeks before the smell disappeared.

I normally would have just returned something like this but its SO cute it was worth the hassle.
