sorry, but it sounds like you got an cheaply made rug. some fabrics that are entirely synthetic and are not going to be used for clothing are made more cheaply and sometimes smell. i had a rug like that too. i bought it to use in the bathroom but it ended up on the back steps!. better luck next time.

the rug is made from petroleum products. that could be why it smells.

If the rug is washable, use the baking soda, and then wash it out.
If you have a box/storage container with a lid big enough to hold the rug, place the rug in the container with 8-10 lumps of plain charcoal, or 2 cups of dry ground coffee. Cover for at least 3 days. Both absorb odors. Put the charcoal/coffee
in an open dish on top of the rug.
If a product called Febreze is sold inAustralia, spraying the rug with it might help.
