DP sits on soft furnishings with smelly post-run bum

DP (who I love dearly, this is just for fun!) goes running a few times a week and says he can't shower as soon as he gets home as he's still sweating. Instead he sits down on the living room sofa/chair for a while to cool down before showering.

The problem is that DP, who doesn't normally smell, has an absolutely honking post-run butt. I'm worried that the smell will build up over time and the living room will stink. DP says I should chill out and he should be able to sit down in his own living room.

AIBU to ask him not to do that? How can we reach a compromise!?

I’m not sure what you mean about a honking bum. But if his bum is wet with sweat, of course he shouldn’t sit down. Yes, the smell will build up over time and you’ll have to get your sofa professionally cleaned.

What do you mean his bum smells, that's weird

Drape a thick towel over the chair for his post run cool down?

Can he put a towel on the sofa and sit on that?
