Husband makes our bed smell

Bit of a weird one, but I'm getting so fed up! My husband is a clean person, he regularly showers etc but sleeps in just his pants (non negotiable on this) so his skin is basically making our bottom sheet turn yellow with oils and stuff as he moves around during sleep. I've tried so many ways to get rid of it (soaking in bicarb or vanish before washing) it does help but it's not great. He also showers in the morning rather than evening as I asked if he could do to keep the sheets fresher (another non negotiable 🙄) as they often smell a bit 'man like' even after a day or two and it's so frustrating, I have nice bedding and just want it to stay fresh?! I've had to throw sheets out before as they get all waxy and gross, his side is obviously different in colour too! Anyone else dealing with the same thing or have any tips to freshen up the sheets? 😅

does he sweat a lot? haven’t had this problem. My husband doesn’t sleep with his shirt off maybe that’s why

As much as I like having nice decor, my husband has had terrible eczema on & off since we met, worst on his hands. Lotions can turn light coloured bedding grubby/yellow that won't wash out & darker bedding will stain because of the grease marks/oils from the creams. It's damn annoying but it gets really painful for him, I tried buying him cotton gloves for an overnight treatment mask but it would peel his skin off with it in the morning 😫 I love him so it's just something I've had to adapt to. He's a boxers only in bed guy too. If husband sits with his head (bald) leant against one of our wallpapered walls it can eventually get a grease mark which is so annoying but something he's stopped doing since we talked about it. We have a toddler now 🤦🏻‍♀️ had to repaint a wall recently because of him lol, I have to just get over it. I'd ask again if your husband could wash before bed or try dark coloured brushed cotton bedding!? It's going to be less noticeable.
