It's a boy thing - have 2 sons so know what it's like! Don't keep hassling him - he will be so embarrassed. Just open the windows when you can, change the bed often and try to ignore it otherwise - he will grow up soon enough..

It is a man smell. No specific name for it but man smell!

I cant stand to sleep on my OH Pillow as it has a man smell, he is not dirty or smelly himself, showers everyday uses deodorant etc, but his pillows!!!!! Man they hum. Think it must be a throwback to the caveman, there must be something in their sweat thats supposed to make them more attractive!

But seriously leave off your nephew a bit, I would have been mortified at 14 if someone suggested I/How I lived was making a smell. Keep cleaning his room, changing his sheets, doing his laundry but don't make a big deal.

I agree - don't mortify the poor lad!

Next christmas, just get him a single sock...

In all seriousness, it's probably something he can't help or do anything about. Could you stick a plug-in or anything in there, or one of those air neutraliser type things?

I have tried washing the bedding daily, hoovering. He has a habit of leaving his dirty clothes around and I have found a few manky socks and such under the bed. I have been keeping on top of that though but the smell quite indescribable just won't go. .

Just wondering why are you in his room looking under his bed? You're not going in there cleaning all time are you? He should be able to pick his own socks and pants off the floor, even if it needs some nagging or him running out of stuff to wear to do it!

My mum hardly ever went in my room as a teenager, my room was pretty messy but if I needed something washing it went in the laundry basket.

Eau de testosterone I call it.

I agree, another mum here with teenage boys.
