Must unfortunately connect me to many other recessions that bemengeln the smell, so the pad really stinks penetrant.Habe them a few weeks with the windows open but has not even aired leave much verloren.Habe to stink already considered this mat to send back but since I (eat cats as the pig) needed one, it is a good size and the curves I like better than this square Cat Water Fountains, it is easy to clean and last but not least was not too expensive and is, I keep it and hope that this malodor sometime throughout the Placemat verschwindet.Habe now about 2 months, a little better, it has already become with the smell, let's see.
