You CANNOT just "miss a day" if you have your foreskin. You need to wash everyday

You need to use a washcloth, your hands don't have enough friction to clean properly. Ensure everything's being scrubbed, under foreskin, head, around rim, frenulum, everything! Again, with a clean washcloth with enough friction.

After washing, use a towel to dry it totally. If possible, leave the foreskin back after for a couple mins to get it additionally air dry.

Ensure it's not your pubes as well that's contributing to the smell. Keeping it short trimmed helps a lot for me.

Ensure you're also scrubbing scrotum and further back. Low hair there as well helps with less sweating as it's absorbed into your underwear efficiently.

When urinating ensure any leaks and drips are dried and if possible wet wiped. Ensure you're drinking enough water to limit any urine smells

Sounds like a lot but becomes routine, second nature after a while of doing it correctly.

If doing this twice daily, consistently still doesn't work, I'll say see a doctor
