I have a green olfa mat that stinks of rubber! I've had it several months and the smell is still so powerful.

How can I get rid of that smell? I bought it new from Hancock.

I just looked up the olfa site, and this was in the FAQ's

How do I reduce the strong plastic smell from my new rotary mat?
Due to production and distribution, a new OLFA rotary mat can emit an odorous smell that some people are sensitive too. To overcome this smell, we suggest that the mat be wiped down with a solution of equal parts lukewarm water and white vinegar, then let it set for five minutes. Afterwards, rinse off the mat and towel dry. Repeat as needed.


It seems to be a problem for sure!
