Input:
This item had a VERY distinct chemical and nearly over powering smell.  I had to leave this item hanging outside and then in my garage for nearly 2 weeks for the smell to subside sufficiently to be able to use the product.  FYI - no cleaning product had any effect.

After smell subsided it meet my needs for a thicker pilates mat.

Just be prepared to "air" the mat out before you use it
