  • Scratch-free scrubbing performance
  • Odor-resistant, hygienic sponge
  • Innovative temperature-responsive material
  • Ergonomic, utensil-cleaning design
  • Inconsistent long-term durability
  • Bulky round shape ergonomics
  • Food trapping in open pores
  • Potential microplastic shedding

Scrub Daddy earns overwhelmingly positive reviews for delivering effective, long‑lasting scrubbers that tackle baked‑on grime without scratching, stay odor‑resistant, and can be sanitized, but some reviews flag durability inconsistencies and bulkiness, with food trapping and microplastic shedding concerns. Reviews of Scrub Daddy also praise the FlexTexture hot/cold firmness shift and clever smile design for utensils, while noting that the stiff texture can feel rough, the round shape isn’t ideal for tight corners, and performance drops for users who prefer scrubbing with hot water only.

  • Literally the best sponge ever. I'm moving into a new apartment before college and I've been using this not only for the dishes, but also scrubbing some stubborn marks off the floor (with 2 separate sponges of course). Overall, this has been a lifesaver for home cleaning.

  • Absolutely love the dish sponges. They are so durable and dry quickly. Being able to toss it in the dishwasher is literally the cherry on top. I buy colors that I like so it’s aesthetically pleasing in my kitchen. I always recommend to people when I see them using a regular sponge.

  • I love this brand and I don't know why. Maybe the smile (or angry) face makes the chore of doing dishes bearable... dare I say, nice. They fit perfectly but I hear Vanessa's smaller scrubbers are great (if you know, you know). Only one product didn't work for me: the scrubbers with the eraser sponge on one side. Because it's not flexible, it doesn't do a great job.

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great Sponge – Best One I've Used! Scrub Daddy is hands down the best sponge I've tried. It lasts significantly longer than most other brands and holds its shape really well, even after heavy use. I love how it doesn’t get that gross smell and stays firm or soft depending on the water temperature. Makes cleaning way easier – definitely worth it!

  • Scrub daddys are the BEST sponges out there. They feel coarse at first but once wet they soften up- but are still harsh enough to actually scrub grime away. Bonus that they come in so many cute colors and variations.

  • Scrub Daddy sponges are a game changer in the dish washing section! Every aspect of the design serves a purpose. For example the smile opening makes it easy to scrub utensils like spoons and forks. The abrasive material makes it really easy to clean hard to remove material on dishes especially gunk on pans. I'm also loving the newer Scrub Mommy because who doesn't love a cute pink smiley face!

  • I love this little scrubber, it doesn’t hold and trap food and smells like conventional sponges. It’s round shape fits in your hand perfectly. But alltho it lasts longer than a sponge it is a little pricey

  • These things are amazing. They are the next best thing to the wired sponges. They don’t damage my pots and they get up nearly every hard stain / food residue. We use the scrub daddies for multiple things like removing stickers, cleaning things like counters, oven, grill, and floor, as well as the obvious our dishes. They are worth the money, they hold their shape for a long time, they take seconds to absorb water and depending on the water will depend on its texture. Warm water makes it soft and easy to manipulate and cold water make its tough and you can use the thickness to really put in the elbow grease.

  • Poor fella has had enough. He made 2 months, but after checking on him I'm sure he looks a little depressed. I fear it's just a matter of time. Not his normal happy smiley self.

  • I absolutely love this cute durable sponge. I have now bought multiple scrub daddy and mommy sponges to do my cleaning for me. Cleaning is so much fun now.

  • Great product! Lasts for a long time, easy to use & effective in using to clean pots. However for some extra difficult stains - a little additional help from other stain removers helps. But still doesn’t take half as long!

  • I absolutely love using Scrub Daddy! Its cleaning power is unmatched, and the way its softness changes with water temperature is a game-changer. It adapts to my cleaning needs effortlessly, making the whole experience a joy. Highly recommend!

    Bought it myself
  • Affordable, durable, and man they do the job. We were sponge users forever. Tossing them, sometimes weekly because they just never seemed clean. Our Scrub Daddy items NEVER hold an odor or a piece of food. With a simple rinse, all is forgiven. They last so long and even once they’ve become a bit softer around the edges, they are perfect to move to the grandkids for outside play. The seasonal options are truly genius. They get me every time. Halloween?! I bought them all!

  • I love using these to pre rinse my dishes. They do such a great job at getting off stuck food, sauces, and cleaning out all my coffee stained mugs.

    Purchased on my own
  • Definitely the best dish scrubber, gets hard with cold water and soft with hot water, depending on your need to take those stubborn dish stains. 100 pervent recommended and how can you say no the cute smiley.

  • This is probably my favorite sponge to use when washing dishes it’s very well made and lasts forever . Always gets the job done, removes food and gunk so effortlessly .

  • Scrub Daddy is my everyday go to at my kitchen sink, it never smells and it doesn't scratch. I cannot think of one bad thing about this scrubby. Definitely recommend it and I also buy them for the gift baskets I make for gifts.

  • I love scrubdaddy. I don’t know if i love them JUST bc I’m obsessed with their name and the fact that scrub mommy also exists … i digress…. This sponge lasts way longer than other sponges, it gets hard when it’s cold/ softer when hot. I even got one of those little holders shaped like a smiley face to hold it in the sink :) i love my scrub family

  • Preface this by saying I hate sponges, I hate how easy they get gross and how often I have to replace them. That being said this was one of the best I've used; scrubbed well and even when I beat it up with use it held it's shape and didn't get a bunch of fuzzies or food stuck in it like other brands. Also made me chuckle to see the face amongst my dirty dishes.

  • I wasn’t too thrilled when I started using the product. I showed my son you could put silverware in its month. However, it got cool points with me because it cleaned my juicer very well without tearing. It does look cool on counter instead of your average sponge;)
