Default sounds as tho..........

they are still new nuf to gass like that, especially if you did not wash them prior to putting them in the car. I would take them out and wash them, let them dry out in the warm summer air. or, just see it there is dog poopy under the mat. do you own a dog? they like to hide things in cars. ;-)

Default Nope, no odour/offgassing at all from the floormats....

The Hexomat cargo liner had a rubbery smell for about a week, totally gone now.

Default what WOULD rock heavily would be if there were...

something made along the lines of the Monster Mats we have for inside the car...better still with the logo like mine has! That's kind of what I pictured but maybe there's some reason that's not practical?

Default Good points. Thanks!

No doggy poop. The smell is also more like that of chemicals mixed with that of old rubber tires.

I hung the mats in the garage to air for about 2 weeks prior to use. But I didn't wash them. Per your advise, I'll definitely need to do that once we get a couple days of sun.

It's more an annoyance than anything. It's cheap rubbermaid mats that were on sale (yea i know, got what i paid for). So I guess if all else fails I'll toss them out.

The Lloyd mats at autoaccessories looks pretty nice. Gonna order a set
