edit Steps

1
Shower every day with soap/body wash. Remember to also wash under armpits and feet with soap. It's important to be clean. Always clean your private areas(the hair traps sweat and can stink if not washed regularly).

2
Shampoo and condition hair as needed. Most people have to wash their hair every day to prevent smell and grease.
3
Use a lotion to smooth out dry skin.
4
Make sure to clean and clip your fingernails whenever they start getting white ends. Girls especially will notice if you have long, dirty nails. This counts for toenails, too.
5
Use roll-on, not spray deodorant to prevent armpit odor. Put deodorant on in the morning and after gym class (or any time you get sweaty).
6
Brush your teeth and floss them after every meal, or at least two times a day. They will look much cleaner.
7
Wash your face every day with face cleansers to prevent acne.
8
Wear socks when you wear shoes. Each foot sweats a lot during the day, so your shoes will smell pretty bad if you don't wear socks
9
Comb your hair. Keep it nice and neat.
10
Spray yourself and your clothing with a body spray.
11
Wear undershirts to help keep your regular shirt smelling more fresh.
12
Take off your shoes as soon as you get home so they can air out and dry out.
13
Don't wear dirty clothes.
14
Its ok if you trim your underarm hair and pubic hair its cleaner

edit Warnings

Don't use too much Axe, Tag, or cologne. In particular, inexpensive brands smell cheap. Additionally, many people are allergic to fragrances, so wearing less is more considerate.
Never replace a shower with an all-over Axe spray. Remember, there is no such thing as too little cologne, but there is such a thing as too much. If you have spray, one spray on your wrist and one on your chest/neck will do just fine. If you don't have a spray bottle, dab a small amount of the fragrance behind your ears and on your wrists. Remember just because you can't smell it doesn't mean others can't. It's also okay - and sometimes preferable - not to wear a fragrance.
If you have a dog or cat at home use a lint brush or tape to get hair off of clothing.
