The Good
- Taunt Scent Loyalty & Scent Sensitivity “Taunt detergent is my ride or die now no bs. Doesn’t irritate my eczema and makes my clothes and linens smell delicious for solid periods of time.” (16 upvotes)
- Skin Compatibility “It doesn’t seem to bother my pets and actually cleans my clothes.” (16 upvotes)
- Versatility “I use it on one and two rinse cycles, and with hot, warm, and cold water and its efficacy remains the same.” (16 upvotes)

- Use for Bedding “Nothing better than jumping into bed and disappearing into my freshly Taunt laundered linens.” (16 upvotes)
The Not So Good
- Weak Scent Performance “I swear I used the big size of Taunt all the way up in like less than 10 loads and not a single one of those loads smelled like Taunt. I’d never buy it again!” (5 upvotes)
- Ineffective Cleaning “I tried the Xtra Milk detergent and it did nothing. I don’t even think it washed my clothes that well and it definitely didn’t impart any scent.” (4 upvotes)
- Poor Value “Dedtergent is NOT worth it… you cannot smell it on your clothes at all. For that price it should stay in your clothes for a while!” (7 upvotes)
- Packaging Issues “I hated the packaging (square tin can) and I decanted it into mason jars because I hated it so much.” (9 upvotes)
Tips & Tricks
- Use for Bedding “Nothing better than jumping into bed and disappearing into my freshly Taunt laundered linens.” (16 upvotes)
- Dilution Method Some extend product life by mixing DedCool with unscented detergent.

The Verdict
Reddit users express mixed opinions on DedCool detergent. Its appeal lies in the unique scents, with Taunt and Spring being favorites, and the fact that it doesn’t irritate sensitive skin.
However, performance concerns dominate: many users cite weak scent longevity, high cost per load, and inconsistent packaging/shipping.
