When in a tire shop there is a strong rubber smell. I am wondering if this material has a strong odor? If so, how long does it take to dissipate?

Our Eco-Flec Rolls do have an odor to them, but not as intense as the on you experience in a tire shop. The smell does dissipate on it's own over time, but to speed up the process we recommend mopping the floor with a mild soap and water solution and letting the floor air dry. If you are very sensitive to smells, you may have to repeat this process a few times. Also, if you are super sensitive to the rubber smell, we do recommend purchasing our Virgin Rubber Tiles. These tiles are made with virgin rubber and do not have the tire smell that is typical of most recycled rubber floors.
