    Good luck. I don't have any suggestions other that what is listed. I received an Olfa rotating cutting mat a year ago for Christmas. It smelled so bad The smell came down to the living room from my sewing room upstairs. I put it in a bag or a week with a box of baking soda, then outside for a week. It still has a little bit of an odor over a year later. At least I can stand to keep it in my sewing room now.
