Has anyone ever bought equipment from Hong Kong or China?  I've bought two things, and they always have this really weird smell.

What is the best way to get rid of it?  I think that using any cleanser would make take the tackiness out of the rubber.  BTW, my paddle case, paddle (blade and rubber) both have this smell.

Thanks!
