the 1 in piece i got from rocky mountain mattress is very strong  so anyone know if the frebreeze would help or hurt it.

nobody has any help with this huh?

The odour caused by latex is something that likely cannot ever be removed.  Spray it with febreeze and it will likely just smell like latex mixed with febreeze.  I also would avoid getting it wet.

Just let it air out naturally. If I recall correctly it took around 1-2 weeks for the smell of my FBM latex bed to completely dissipate. I also wouldn't want to get the latex wet.

I guess most of us are not bothered by the smell after it airs out.  I do not really notice it when it is under the wool topper / mattress pad / top sheet.  I think the blended has more of a chemical smell than the 100% natural.

None of really know how it would react to another chemical.  Probably not a problem is sprayed lightly and you let it dry before covering.  Maybe consider some kind of powder like baking soda.

I have learned that cooking items in a hot car is a good fast way to "bake" out solvent smells and musty odors.  You might try that to accelerate the airing-out of new foam.  You don't leave the item in ther forever.  You just bake it long enough to do the job.

 

discliamer:   I have never done this with latex foam.   lol
