What owners single out
Staining complaints from buyers align with the product's visible residue leaving grey marks on clothing, a practical concern video reviewers may have flagged.
In their words
“I've used other Squatch deo products, and dozens of others from various manufacturers. NONE compare. They don't hold a candle to this product. This scent is piney, like you'd expect. While the pleasant smell does last, it's not noxious like many other products with similar staying power. It goes on easy, dries quickly, and leaves no uncomfortable residue. No staining, no stickiness, no greasiness,”

“Had really high hopes, as the pine tar is my husband’s favorite scent in their soap. It smells just like the soap and lasted all day. He really loved that he didn’t “pit out” on the day he used it. HOWEVER, it stained his undershirt grey and even after washing twice and soaking it and hand scrubbing in hot water there are still grey marks. Not a good look or a practical way to do laundry every wee”
