[glluqwgb] Body odor and killing bacteria

Because body odor is caused by bacteria -- not by sweat itself -- I wonder if it can be prevented by killing them by applying one of the several first-aid skin antiseptics instead of deodorant / anti-perspirant: iodine, hydrogen peroxide, alcohol.  How often does it need to be applied?  After being killed, how does the bacteria spontaneously return?

From My Big Fat Greek Wedding: Windex, being alcohol, might work.
