I rent a one room apartment and every time the maintenance man or the janitor rolls around, they say "My room is dirty and/or it smells like sweat". And every time there's like, 0 explanation, I spend a few hours making sure it's clean for when they show up, then they show up and act like the fact that there's furniture in the room is an offense to the sanitary code. Someone from the governement actually came to deliberate on that and said it's pretty clean. Personally, I can hardly smell anything in this entire apartment block, but everyone who comes to visit me says it smells like sweat, cigarette and "like the janitor mops the floor with his own puke" regardless of where you are in the block. When I ask about my room, because I've gotten self-conscious since the janitor's been doing this for about 4 years now, they just say "It's not nearly as bad as in the corridors" and that's been at least 2 people's responses so far (I can't remember if i asked the third)

Obviously I can't make you smell my room so that you can deliberate on if it does smell, I'm just saying, everyone I know thinks the entire block smells like sweat.

Now for what I actually do to keep the room clean: I wash the bedsheets at least least once every 2 months if not once a month. I wash my clothes every time the laundry basket is full. I regularly sweep the place because I hate getting little crumb things stuck to my feet before I get in bed. I have bought 2 trashcans, with the second one to put soda cans in so they don't stay on the floor in a bag. I actually started letting my neighbor just take the cans so I can stop procrastinating bringing them to the store. 

Here's the grey area of uncertainty about the intention behind their actions. 

1) There's been a bedbug problem in this apartment for like 4 years now and they're convinced I've been the cause of it because the first time it happened the bedbugs ruined my futon's wooden base and I had to throw it out. They've been trying to kick me out over it since.

2) One of the other neighbors has acknowledged once that my room does smell like sweat after I left the door open to aerate. It was during the hottest week of that summer and I was using my laundry basket to hold the door so it is possible it's been a problem with my laundry all along. I started holding the door open with a gallon of detergent instead and I haven't heard about the sweat smell since.

3) It could just smell because I spend all day in my room, but I have a severe back injury so it's not like I can just go walk around all day and come back to a fresh smelling empty room just to please the staff. However I do shower **at least** once every 2-3 days or every day I do physical labor and I use antiperspirant, so it's not like that other guy who lives here who just diffuses the scent of armpits wherever he goes.
