I tried taking it back to Joanns but I had no receipt so they wouldn't do anything about it :( I dont usually shop at Joanns but I needed a new mat and I had a coupon. Guess I'm stuck with it. I did try soaking it in baking soda in the tub but I'm afraid to put it out in the sun in case of warping. I also tried fabreeze but it didn't help, my whole apartment stinks with skunky smell :(
