This rug looks fantastic in my room, but the wet farm animal smell is overpowering.  The smaller rug I purchased to see the design didn't have this smell.  But now that I've got an 8x10 in place that would be hard for me to remove and return on my own, the smell has taken over my house.  I'm not sure what to do about this and don't see anyone else who has mentioned this problem.  So it might be the particular rug.  I'm hoping it lessens over time, but if not I'll have to get someone to remove it and dispose of it.
