Polypropylene stinks
« on: May 21, 2012, 06:35:38 pm »
I wonder if anyone has had this problem before, just done a olefin rug and it absolutly reeks, even after it dryed, no difference. I've seen that if it has been overwetted you can get an odour, nothing i can do about that now but surely there must be a way to nutralise this god awful smell

if anyone has any advise it would be greatly appreciated

I can absolutely guarantee you it is not the odour of polypropylene you can smell!

What does it smell of?  Pee smell?  Rubber?  Sweaty socks?


(sounds like a rummage through Billy Russell's wardrobe)

It may possibly be the latex backing. What is the construction?
