Mum showers regularly and washes clothes daily but I've noticed a BO smell. I'm sure she isn't using deodorant.
I did buy her some and leave it on her dressing table. How should I address this ?
I'm with her nearly every day and it's getting to me, especially as the house is always so warm

Bluntly and to the point. She smells and needs to use deodorant.

Is she definitely washing daily and washing her clothes and bedding regularly?

Agree with Aqua though. You're just going to have to be blunt.

Is it the clothes OP? Elderly people usually sweat less!

Don't go in bluntly just yet. Buy her a Sure antiperspirant and just ask your mum if she's tried it... drop it as its one of your faves... what does she think?
