I did make the mistake of leaving a piece of fabric on the mat for a couple of days...now it smells! I'll be trying all these great suggestions to elimate that smell before I continue trimming blocks on it!

Tomato juice is a real mess. I have a friend that had a pet skunk (have no idea why) did get it deskunked. But he swore by using a solution of 1 part bleach to 10 parts water - it worked on our deck & was so much easier to use on the dog.
