You don't say what make it is. If it comes from China it will sometimes smell like old socks, but it does go away after a couple of weeks. It might sound like I'm joking, but I'm dead serious.

Yeah it's a mossy oak mat. I figured the smell will go away but wanted to see if they was a faster way or something. I am just going to leave it outside for a couple of days because it stinks up my truck to much

Baby powder under the floor mats. Mask the smell.

get a tub of water and fully immerse the mats in it. pour in a cup of white vinegar and soak for an hour.
