75 / 100
Mostly True

The text discusses how people become accustomed to their own body odour and may not notice it until it becomes strong enough to require a deep clean.

Infact verdict: Mostly True (75/100).

The claims about body odour awareness and the need for deep cleaning when noticing one's own odour are supported by the concept of olfactory adaptation. This is a well-documented phenomenon where individuals become desensitized to constant smells, including their own body odour. The evidence suggests that when a person begins to notice their own odour, it may indeed be time for a more thorough cleaning. Both claims are supported by multiple sources, including high-reliability sources like Zindeo and Cleveland Clinic, which discuss the science behind olfactory adaptation and personal hygiene practices.
