Sorry if this is on the verge of being off topic.
You know the smell of new rubber tires.
Some, like my wife, call it the stink of new rubber.

What is the best thing to wash or wipe off fresh rubber
to kill the smell?
I have tried all sorts of detergents, Windex, simple green, ect.

Any ideas?

unfortunately the more you wash off, the more fresh smelly rubber you will
expose. It would be better to mount them, and then dust with baby powder to
mask the smell.

Well,
The hose on our new washing machine of course.
Every time the hot water fills the washer, the thing smells again
and she blames my RC cars!

....Since you asked.
