You should tell them. I've had the same experience twice, working with someone with bad BO. I mean, bad enough to be bothersome, not the usual BO we all experience once in a while.

The difficult part is to handle this diplomatically and in private. Leaving cleaning products or air fresheners lying around could be construed as being mean or even harrassment.

It's not an easy. Just take them aside and say something like "Listen mate, you're gonna have to change your deodorant..." or something like that. Don't imply that they do not wash, but that they product they're using is not good enough.

Well, that's just one suggestion.

Try to make it friendly and unthreatening. And don't make them even more embarrassed by telling them everyone was complaining. Make it look like you're just helping him/her out...
