[QUOTE="Lil, post: 639261, member: 17309"] Our son also has terrible hygiene and can go weeks without brushing his teeth or bathing. It makes me crazy. (I literally cannot go to bed at night without brushing and flossing, even if I'm camping, even if I'm camping and drunk.) At least he does put on deodorant, but really, if you never wash your pits that doesn't help. Still, it's not to the extent you are talking about, mostly because I go crazy on him after about a week. I do like the idea of buying him some clothes to wear at your home, and make them as good smelling as you possibly can before he puts them on. Then just let him take them along with the stinky ones when he leaves. This may sound kind of crazy, but could you maybe check a pet store for some special dog shampoo, there are several types on the market for extreme odor, and actually mix it with body wash (or just put it in a body wash bottle) for when he showers? (You don't have to tell him.) I'm thinking it might cut the smell better than human soap alone. Have you tried Febreze Laundry Odor Eliminator? We use that for our dog's blankets. We always use Gain detergent and wash on Hot with baking soda or borax and then again on hot with Febreze Laundry. I haven't tried it, but I've read that adding 1 cup of non-sudsing ammonia and 1 cup of washing soda to your wash will cut odors. The only other thing I could think of would be using the Lysol in the brown bottle like they use for cleaning diaper pails and such. I wish I had some other ideas. I miss my cuddly little boy too. He was more than willing to snuggle until he was about 14. Then he got all difficult child - and stinky. Okay...I thought of one other extreme measure... buy some menthol to rub under your nose. It's what coroners and garbage men use to cut decomp smell...so it would have to help. Oh, and I am very sorry for the loss of your cat. Our furbabies keep us sane. [/QUOTE]
