Scrub Daddy earns strong reviews for being an effective, long‑lasting scrubber that tackles baked‑on grime without scratching, resists odors, and even shifts texture with water temperature; however, reviewers note durability can vary with heavy use, food can lodge in the pores, and the round shape or thickness can be awkward for some tasks. Overall, Scrub Daddy is considered a good buy for dishes and multi‑surface cleaning, with standouts like Scrub Mommy and Dish Daddy, but a few users prefer softer sponges or wish for greater longevity and eco‑materials.

  • As someone who really loves to find good cleaning equipment, I was excited to try this out.... and you can believe the hype, just not for an extended period of time. The face design does make it very handy to clean various objects, and I love that it changes from hard to soft depending on water temp but wish it was a bit more durable.

  • truly life changing products. Changed the cleaning game for good!

  • Works great and makes me smile!

  • These little sponges are kitchen magic. I tried one on a whim and now I can’t clean in my kitchen without them. They have just enough stiffness to scrub away tough, stuck on food and soft and flexible enough to get into a small wine glass. These are genius.

  • Scrum Daddy has genuinely wowed me with its outstanding strength and durability. It eliminates the need for added pressure on your part. While its performance is top-notch, I'd love to see a broader color selection. I highly recommend it to anyone in search of a dependable cleaning sponge!

  • I used a Scrub Daddy at a Residence Inn. It was a surprisingly good sponge. .and even provided a smile

  • Every single product from this brand goes above and beyond. The scrubbers last and are just as effective on day 65. The scrub paste is universally effective, from shower to kitchen, haven’t had it not work to remove grease, dirt, and even built up grime. Highly recommend every product!

  • These are my favorite scrubbies now! I've been using them for years and refuse to get the old spongey type. I hated that kind because of the smell from being damp and it made me feel like my dishes were not getting clean. The scrub daddy lasts for so long and I have never once had an issue with it having a smell. I recommend them to everyone and have even gifted them before.

  • Scrub Daddy is the best sponge out there in my opinion. This is the sponge I use to clean my bathtub and in my kitchen. My problem with the older sponge design is how moldy and gross they get no matter how much care you put into taking care of them. These sponges are so sturdy and hygienic. They're also vey practical because of the smiley face design. The sponge is very easy to grip even for a small hand and the smile is so easy to use for cleaning silverware. I've also never had any problems with scratching, even on my nonstick pans. Overall, I love his brand their marketing and most of all, their products.

  • Super good quality and works

  • Love the branding and the scrub. Can get dirty easily, but that can of course be fixed by washing it. If you’re cleaning a lot of dirty dishes I would not recommend it, but for normal amount it’s perfect.

  • I keep a scrub daddy in my shower. First time I used it I was so surprised at how well it handled the soap scum and it doesn’t scratch the glass! Unlike regular sponges it doesn’t get all gross & you won’t have to throw it out after one use.

  • Love this thing!! Use it for anything that might need a little more elbow grease! Doesn’t scratch surfaces.

  • Overall, my favorite product is the scrub mommy as think it does a much better job--highly recommend and has become a staple sponge in our house!

  • Easy to use and the smiley face design just makes you very happy when you are doing dishes (which, let’s be honest, is no one’s favorite chore). I do, however, think that they don’t last as long as my other regular scrubs; hence, losing one star for the durability.

  • I used a happy-faced scrub daddy when visiting my family a couple weeks ago. I wouldn't have thought of buying one myself, just because I assumed it was over-hyped. In fact, it was a really nice sponge substitute. It didn't get gunky and it dried easily. It was really good at removing food from dishes and pots. It seems like it will last a long time. All that and it's smiley.

  • The Scrub Daddy is an essential for my household. It's perfect for big and small jobs around the house. I wish I could purchase a multipack to have multiple backups but until those are released, we'll continue to purchase the singles.

  • this is the only scrub i use when i have a big job, like cleaning the shower. it’s makes everything so much easier and they last a long time.

  • A great product. Doesn't create scratches when used cautiously on steel and gets things off quickly.
