Review on 🔪 24x36 Double-Sided Self-Healing Rotary Mat by OLFA by Jessica Lewis

So I got it quick. It is so well made and perfect for my needs. I was so excited to receive it. BUT. This thing smells so bad you can't use it at home. The smell spreads throughout the room, and the longer it's there, the smell spreads throughout my house. Now I might have a bad one, I don't know, but it's in my garage. I can't use it here. I contacted the seller who informed me that they had contacted the retailer and was told that they were aware that the materials that make up this rug can be quite strong to begin with, but he was not aware of any unusual or strong odors. Are you kidding me? They suggested wiping the carpet with warm water and dish soap and letting it sit for 5 minutes. then rinse and dry with a towel. It didn't do anything about the smell. While being in the garage for a week would have helped, it was in the garage for 2 weeks. It's a shame to spend $50 on something I can't even use!
