Question from Mike

Hi Debra,

I recently purchased a new acrylic bathtub.

When it was installed the smell was horrific. It filled the whole house and seemed to go into every fabric in the house, the drapes , carpet, clothes bedding towels etc. can anything be done to get rid of the smell other than getting rid of the bathtub.

should an acrylic bathtub smell this bad?

Debra’s Answer

That’s why I don’t recommend acrylic bathtubs.

I don’t know of anything that will stop the smell.

Readers? Anyone have any experience with this?
