Title: Wrist rest chemical smell
Post by: happylacquer on Sat, 07 January 2017, 04:41:30

I have a Grifiti fat wrist pad, it's comfy and good and all, but it has a crazy strong chemical smell that's driving me nuts. I am not sure if it would go away just by leaving it outside entirely. Is there anything I can use to make the chemical smell go away? It's gotta be from manufacturing and then being sealed up in plastic. I would leave it outside for a few days but it is a snowstorm

It goes away over time, but maybe you could try to rub some lemon juice on it.

Carcinogenic evaporating plasticizer..

People like it when it's a new car,  but they don't like it on anything else..
