What she said about burning yourself out is absolutely true. I'm the only one whose been costume crew for my schools plays and musicals for three years, and after every show, you're basically dead, especially after tech week and the shows. The director of the shows has told me that "the show would fall apart if [I] wasn't there." Next year I train a freshman to take my place. Hopefully I don't scare them off, otherwise I'll have to come back to help out while I'm at college!

How are these items cleaned after they are used. Of body odour and stains

It depends on the garment. Specific stains are treated in different ways. With covid, most things are sent out every night after they are worn and brought back the next day so the stains don't get much chance to set. Odours are usually able to be washed out unless they are very old and in that case they can be steamed out with a few drops of pinesol in the water. make up can be usually removed with oxiclean gel. In this video, the truck costumer isn'tin a truck (like I am right now as I type this). We have a full laundry station on the truck. I'm sure she did too in her "dungeon"
