I used to work in television news as a news photog. All use photogs all had our own take-home news trucks. One of the guys we'll call "Bill" had a serious hygiene problem and smelled pretty rank all the time. It wasn't BO, but more like a sour smell from not washing his clothes. He was also missing some teeth and had amazingly bad breath.
When the news director got enough complaints from the reporters about having to ride in his stinky truck, he would call Bill into his office and have a Serious Conversation with him. Bill's hygiene would improve for two to three weeks. Then it would go back to normal. This guy lived with his elderly mom and supported her, and I think they didn't get rid of him because they felt sorry for him.
At one point I went on vacation for a few days, and the station had me leave my truck while I was out so that they could rotate some of the other trucks in for maintenance. The first day back at work, I got into my truck, and... Dear God! The stench made my eyes water. I knew immediately that Bill had been driving my truck while I was out.
The company was really cheap and were real sticklers about making us jump through hoops to get any expenses reimbursed. I made out an expense form for the bottle of Febreze I used up on that truck to kill that smell. The news director asked me why I was expensing Febreze. When I told him, he threw the expense form in the trash. Then he turned around to his assistant and said, "Linda, pay him for that out of petty cash."
I will say this: Even though it left a sticky residue at first, Febreze actually worked on a couple days' stink. I think they eventually had to burn Bill's own truck, though.
