Iv read sweat is naturally cleansing of bacteria, and it only smells because of the interaction with the bacteria. So why do we treat it as such a “gross” thing? I mean you should probably wipe down fluid off stuff because you don’t want it to get on you, but it seems more of a comfort thing than a hygene thing.

Antibacterial properties of sweat are a very recent finding, most people do not know about it.
There are bacterias that love eating sweat, and they produce nasty smell that we dislike.
also, smell of old sweat means the cloth or person were not washed recently, so they might contain dirt or mold spores or lice (since antibiotics do not kill them)
