i share a house with 3 guys and i can tell the one has come home because when he takes off his workboots the entire house smells like rotting dogshit in an abandoned waste treatment facility for 3 hr+ how do i broach this subject with him cause im in a room complete opposite of his and it eventually wafts in here somehow and idk how to stop it i light candles and spray good smelling shit into the air but it is a losing battle he works really hard and i dont want to bother him but fuck man it stinks so bad any tips and tricks that u could share with me ? thanks :
"hey dude your boots are kinda smelly mind leaving them outside, no biggie but yeah its pretty ripe lol"
If you make it like a lighthearted joke kinda thing they'll be less likely to take it personally. Depends on the person but yeah.
I used to get really bad smelly feet even though I was showering / changing socks every day then I realized I needed to scrub the dead skin off my feet with one of those pumice stones or whatever and it helped a ton.
The boots are prob a lost cause if they're that bad. Can try to deodorize but it will come back pretty quick unless they can be deep cleaned somehow.
i think he like just got new boots from his work too so maybe that will help if he figures it out fast but yeah i gotta do something about this idk. its prob just a showering thing but thats hard to enforce as a 2nd party u know?
Antibacterial bars are magic for issues like this.
Buy the cheapest ones they have and just leave them in the shower. He probably won't even notice and start using them.
