Cleaning gutter guard before use??

[Sunee]

Bill - I already cut some off so I don't think they'll take it back. A good thing it was only a few dollars.

I am going to try airing the roll as Tony suggested and I have a chunk in vinegar water. If neither of those work to get rid of the smell, I will try a different hardware store and see if the gutter guard is any better.

Thanks for your suggestions.
