I think you are going to have to get new mats made of
some other material. I've had experience with mats of the
type you have. The smell takes _years_ to go away and never
completely leaves. I am sorry to be discouraging but its the
truth. You can get similar mats made of plastic which do not
have the strong odor. The kind you have will make the house
smell like Pep Boys.
