Yeah, I'm going to agree with the other reviewer that the first time I used these I almost sent them back because they smelled so strange! The whole house reeked of a sweet-chemically smell. The main reason I bought these was to get away from the chemicals in the Teflex sheets (Teflon is shady at best), but I wondered if I did the right thing after smelling that smell. I did wash the sheets a couple times in soap and water and rubbed them down with a towel. After a few batches of fruit leather and flax crackers, I don't notice the smell any more. (Or maybe I'm just used to it?)
Also, I don't know how the Teflex sheets compare, but you definitely have to make sure that whatever you're drying is almost completely dry before it will peel off. Otherwise the mixture sticks to it.

I generally do not write reviews, but I must say that I would not buy these again. They have such an offensive odor it is bound to be releasing something chemically. I washed them with soap and water, dried them and they are still repulsive. There is no way my family is eating anything dried on these. I would have appreciated if it had said on the website that they have an odor.

I did not have any smell on the sheets I received. I made banana crepes and after they were dehydrated they peeled off fine. I definitely would purchase the dehydrate and paraflexx sheets again.
