How To Get the Smell Out of Horse Stall Mats
You picked up some Horse Stall Mats for your garage gym. Maybe you’re like me and you got some at a great price from Tractor Supply Company. Now, you’ve got them home and… they smell awful. Like, really awful.
Now what? Don’t worry, I’ve been there too and I’m going to walk you through why horse stall mats smell in the first place and, most importantly, what you can do to get that smell to go away.
I also wrote out an article on getting the smell out of horse stall mats that you can read here: hortonbarbell....
Are Horse Stall Mats the best garage gym flooring option? I think so and I explain why here:

One other tip I used, is to actually raise the mats off the ground. I put them in my backyard and put some old paint cans & cinder blocks under them so that air was able to circulate under the mat.
Literally in the car on the way home from Tractor Supply & I was not prepared for this smell 🤢 thank you for this video!!!
Bought four 6'x4' mats and scrubbed them down with soap and water and a pressure washer & left them outside for 2 days then brought them inside and set them up in our flex room near the front door, but the rubber smell was still potent. It took about 2 weeks for the smell to subside somewhat, but at least my wife said the smell is bearable now. Happy Wife...Happy Life!
I bought 8 of them. After all the work to get them home, I power-washed them and scrubbed them with simple green. I’ve repeated that process daily for 5 days straight, they have sat in the sun for 5 days as well. There is NO reduction in smell, not even a little. I’m really annoyed that I went with stall mats…
Holy smokes. 8 min vid for “air out your mats”
I guess this helped me decide to put my gym in the garage now instead of the basement!
4 mats from tractor supply have been sitting outside for 2+ months (flipped every other two weeks, baked in sun, soaked in thunderstorms)
We used our Ozone machine and it worked in a day. Smells like a pool now but better then it was.
Use cat litter and this absorbs the smell also keep it out in sunlight for a few days and the smell disappears. Keeping rubber weight plates in a box with cat litter also helps remove the smell significantly
Kept them outside for 2 weeks. Rained on , blown on,heated on. Hardly any smell at all when fitted. Your right , Patience is the key. 👍
Thanks for the tips - I bought a couple of these and returned them since the smell was so strong. Thinking I might try again, and put them under my deck outside for a month or two and see if that helps! It's high up so they can get plenty of air. And Go Bears!
Thank you for this - because i Have one in my house under a bike and i woke up last night and wanted to scream 🤣🤣🤣🤣
you should wear a good respirator when dealing with new mats (volatile organic compounds are no joke)
I ahve had mine installed in my home gym for 1 eyar and the smell is as bad now as it was when we put them in. We ahve to exhaust the room before we use it with a quiet cool ceiling vent fan its that bad., So don't know what to tell you , our is bad.
It takes about 2- 3 weeks for the smell to go away..
Thanks Man!❤
