I love this rug, and especially that its all natural, but my husband hates it because of the smell. I admit it stinks, but I hate to part with it. Miss Kitty really like it too :-)

Have you tried spraying with a natural room spray? I make my own using distilled water, vinegar and essential oils.

  I have used Fresh Wave natural odor removing spray which helps until it dissipates. I'm afraid of it's the jute itself that smells it will never go away because it is the nature of the fiber itself. Thanks for your suggestion, I'll keep trying, I am a huge tee tree fan, that might help.

Have you tried spritzing it with Frebreeze or the knock of extra-strength one from the Dollar Tree?

Leave it outside until it has dried out and lost the smell.
