Yeah, I am going to Walmart & get couple boxes of baking soda & something called
Odor Genie. It has charcoal in it and says it eliminates a lot of odors, like paint, smoke
pets, etc. you just lift off the cover and put it where you want it. Walmart had vanilla
lavender scent which I love, so worth a try. Might get baking soda spray for shoes too,
OMG!
for chemical smells on rubber, I keep seeing baking soda & charcoal

Ok, I spent $15.00 on supplies….got 2 odor genies, trying one downstairs now, if it
doesn’t seem to help, might return the other one, got something called FunkAway
odor eliminating beads with charcoal, same concept, open lid, pull off covering &
replace lid, and sit wherever, says it’s guaranteed to work (right) I will try that next.
got 2 boxes of baking soda…. I wonder if washing them in Dawn would help,
it takes the grease off that little duck on tv
….. I have some Dawn Powerwash, that
you spray on, let sit a bit & rinse. Might try that….after that I’m done….

I just did use Dawn & water…..let them sit a bit, individually wiped each one with the
soapy water, rinsed, air dried a couple min & then dried each one individually & put
them downstairs with odor genie & baking soda. We’ll see….this wasn’t exactly the
way I thought I would be fooling with them!!

Well it was enough that I noticed it and so I have just taken the precaution to let them off gas outdoors.
I don't know that it would be enough to cause headaches if I left them indoors but I just decided it couldn't hurt (especially since I hadn't really planned to use them right away ).
The actual bars didn't have an odor and the knobs don't have any odor any more after being outside. I can still detect odor coming from the rubber feet on the supports so they are still outdoors for now. I'm not spraying or fooling with them yet

The problem is it's actually seeping from within the material.
So depending how much needs to escape from a particular substance, that is how long it will need to dissipate. So some items need more or less time to do that.
I have found that the best method with off gassing involves time(my patience) and a well circulated area.

I don’t have much to say anymore….mine have been outside since yesterday morning,
by getting them out of the house has helped my head & nasal passages to feel somewhat better, house smells better, but the problem is the end caps are outside &
bars inside. That‘s all I have to say……

You can't use the connector bar without the open rings cause I think it would still be loose,
that's just my thought, and you can't use the open rings & connector bar without the
other end caps, cause it wouldn't be "even" on the floor. I'm on carpet, so floor isn't really
slippery......I'm not buying anything else to make them work......they should have worked
out of the box. Sorry, just truly disappointed. Hopefully the off gas smell (whatever it is)
will go away........one of these days..............in the meantime, I have other workouts...

Just an update...The rubber feet sat out on my sunporch for 5 days and the odor was nearly all gone. I brought them inside but it was another 5 days or so before I assembled. (Not because of any issue but because I went out of town .) I did wipe it all down lightly but that was just for typical cleaning purposes from being outside.
We do not detect any odor in the Shred Shed from the bars. My husband and I are both pretty sensitive to smells, too.
I am glad I purchased them so far ahead of when I actually needed them for the new set.
Many thanks to those of you for the heads up!!
