    A baking soda bath may help. Baking soda is suppose to pull the smell out and absorb the order. Hope you have luck with some of these tips.

    I soaked my Olfa mat in the bathtub in water with a lot of vinegar (as per the email above, because this or a similar message from Olfa was posted on this board a while back). Then washed it with lukewarm water and dishwashing detergent.

    It got rid of the smell for me.
