Scrub Daddy earns rave reviews for cleaning performance and versatility, with users replacing traditional sponges thanks to durable scrubbers that don’t smell, adapt firmness with water temperature, and safely tackle everything from nonstick pans to glass stovetops and bathrooms. Reviews also flag weaknesses: some scrubbers shed or tear within weeks, can be too stiff or bulky, struggle with hot‑water scrubbing needs, trap food in pores, and raise sustainability concerns.

  • This a great product and has replaced many of my cleaning utensils. I love that come in a 3 pack so you can dedicate one to different areas (kitchen, bathrooms, etc)

  • The simplicity and ease of this product makes cleaning the dishes fun!

  • The scrub daddy is a game changer! No matter how many times you use it, you just have to rinse it with warm water to get the food residue off and then just let it sit and it will go back to its expanded/dry state and look like new again, every time. I’ve had mine for months and it still looks like new. It does a great job of taking off food residue from my dishes. I also like how it comes in different colors, so you don’t have to get the classic yellow one—they even have a dye free one. It works best with warm or hot water; if you use cold water then when you squeeze it it shrinks and gets stiff, but expands again and becomes squishy when exposed to warm water. I would highly recommend it to everyone. The only con is that it’s a little bit bulky and bigger than a sponge so I have to get a special hook for it to store it in my sink.

  • honestly one of the best sponges. great scrubber power without scratching and lasts quite a bit of time before having to replace. i also personally feel like the texture of the sponge keeps it from harboring bacteria like other sponges

  • I love their sponges. I used to see them at Bed Bath & Beyond & didn’t understand how they worked since they were hard plus expensive. I bought a knockoff version at Dollar Tree & LOVED it but the cheap version falls apart after a few weeks so I bought the real thing & use all the time. The real SD sponges do not fall apart & can last months depending on how much you use & care for them (I Run it in top rack of dishwasher weekly). Once I feel like the sponge should be replaced (it’s still in good shape) I run it through dishwasher then clean with bleach & use it for cleaning my house. I use different sponges for things like scrubbing walls & cabinets, sinks, bathtub/tiles & even the floor & they hold up for months sometimes.

  • Would love to test these & c what all the hype is about . 😊😊😊😊

    Received a free product from Scrub Daddy
  • Love the sponges but the scrub paste is what really works. Cleans any hard to clean pot of surface!

    None
  • The Scrub Daddy really works on tough messes and it's very versatile! It is well worth the cost.

  • it wore down in less than a week. any sponge from any dollar store lasts longer and better than scrub dad sponge. I would not buy it again!!

  • great for hard to clean messes, last longer than your average sponge.

  • Overall good product, cute name design Will buy again

  • Cute sponge. Lasted a long time. It even made my son help with the dishes. lol!

  • This product is very good

  • Literally gets my pots spotless without scratching!

  • Bought a Scrub Daddy on a whim after I realized they were on Shark Tank. I had low expectations but turns out, I love it!! What I love most is how well it cleans my stainless steel pan after I cook eggs.

  • I love my Scrub Daddy! It took my awhile to hop on the bandwagon and once I did, I can’t go back! I love that it’s stiff when cold and soft when warm, I do all my cleaning and dish washing with these. I’ve had my current one for a few months and it’s definitely time for me to get a new one!

  • First time using scrub daddy and I love it! Doesn’t scratch my delicate pots and pans but gets the dried stuck food off of my dishes!

  • I use and have used scrub daddy's since I got my first apartment in college! I love how easy they make cleaning and how effective they are when I use one! I also love the versatility of them, I can use it for so many places in my kitchen.

  • I love using my scrub daddy! You can put hot water in it to make it soft or cold to harden the sponge to scrub those harder surfaces. It’s a great product that I keep at home at all times

  • I've been using scrub daddy for over a year and highly recommend the dish daddy! I love the ergonomic handle the the refillable inside. It makes washing dishes a breeze! I've used other dish wands but find a problem when cleaning bottles and smaller mugs. This fits inside perfectly, getting every nook and cranny. I also use it to clean my stove top and counters. The only con I would say would be the price. Compared to other brands this is pricey but is worth the price.
