    Sleep with her -- after long night of hot sex it won't be offensive to tell that her is so dirty that she needs a good wash.
    You've been a very dirty girl and you need a good washing ... something along those lines? 8)

    Get your line manager to sort it out.

    That's what they're paid for.

    I was once asked this question at an interview
    What you stank and the interviewer asked you how often you washed?

    How about - I really don't want to offend or upset you but I think you may have a bit of a personal hygiene problem - I know what it is like in this hot weather but maybe a different deodorant would help. If that doesn't work - vomit on them.
