How do I get the smell of rubber car mats.? I bought rubber car mats. They reek of sulfur?
rubber mats, tires, inner tubes and other synthetic rubber products all have a strong odor when new, which comes from solvents and chemicals used to manufacture them.
Just attach the carpet to a place where air can circulate around them for a few days, and the strong chemical smell will vanish.
Bleach-
Another solution is to simply discard. Go to your local carpet dealer and ask for some scraps. You can make your own car for $ 1.oo each rug, and you can always go buy a little more carpet when they start to stink so.
