It is a lightwieght canvas-like material with a very stinky plastic lining. It smells like formaldehyde and bleach combined. It is sickening and even makes my eyes sting. It was made in China. What are they using and how can I get rid of this smell? Is it dangerous with the off-gassing? I have hung it in the sun for 8 hours, sprayed it down with vinegar water and shut it in the closet with an ionizing air filter for 2 days. any suggestions?

Sprinkle baking soda over the vinegar and spray a few squirts over the soda. It will bubble. Let dry completely, then vacuum up. after vacuuming, spritz 1 part lemon juice/1 part vinegar/2 parts water over the affected area, and let dry. The lemon odor will discourage pets from reusing the area. Make sure to take the animal to the vet if this happens in a high traffic area more than once, as your animal may be trying to tell you something.
