    Defo a boy thing!
    I would continue to wash bedding regular, and keep laundry out the room AND air the room.

    If his feet sweat alot it `may` be thats the issue still lingering about, my brother had terrible smelly feet. My mum made him keep his trainers in the outbuilding in the yard and even after a bath and shower his feet stank - so much so it got into the carpets LOL!

    Maybe put some reed diffusers in his room, or a plug in to help freshen the room up.

    Its testosterone, he's got his mans hormones in and gives off pheromones to attract ladies and mark his territory to stop other boys muscling in

    You may not like it, but some people might, as a family member its probably a good thing its not appealing

    I think it's just a boy thing.

    When my BIL lived with us (he's a few years younger than us) his room reeked! I think it was a combination of strong deodorant, too much aftershave, smelly shoes and just boyness.

    My OH's pants smell funny. Not of 'emissions', just an undefined odd smell. Even after they've been washed. I can smell them when I take them out of the machine. It's not particularly unpleasant - just unfamiliar. It's just a man thing I guess.
