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.

  • Great product - the perfect balance of a soft and hard sponge for all types of dishes. I liked it so much I bought one for my dad and one for my partner's dad for Father's Day!

  • The scrub daddy keeps my dishes clean with little to no effort at all. I love this product you can use it everywhere

  • I’ve used scrub daddy since I moved to my own apartment and it’s made doing dishes way easier and more enjoyable compared to cheaper brands that don’t last. The different products are all useful including their duster and toilet scrubber, cutting the amount of time it takes to clean in half

  • By far the best, least abrasive but most effective scrubber I’ve ever used! This thing just works! Purchased my first two years ago bc my sister in laws worked so well while helping with clean-up and have been stocked ever since! Mom and wife approved!

  • Absolutely love everything Scrub Daddy makes. The Scrub Daddy is durable and is great from everything from cleaning dishes to scrubbing the tub.

  • Absolutely love this sponge. Its "eyes" are perfect for holding, it's "mouth" is perfect for spoons, forks, and other utensils, and its rough and soft sides are perfect for getting rid of that grime and grease. Not to mention I have used the same one for quite a while now and it does not smell or hold food like the traditional sponge.

  • I love scrubdaddy! The durable and rough bristles made it easier to get tough grime off dishes. The face is also nice to look at, brightens my day :)

  • I refrained from using sponges because of the tendency to smell and be a bacterial spreader plus they were too soft to really help with washing dishes. The scrub daddy is the most amazing nonsponge sponge. It is sturdy enough to effectively scrub and I can swipe off surfaces with a wet sponge and squeeze the water out before throwing the bits of food into the compost bin. Life changer. Definitely recommend. I have several different colors because I now use them in every room and the colors help keep them from cross contamination. Love love love them.

  • These work amazing. Scrub the grim off my shower and my pans.

  • I love this sponge, not easy to find in some supermarkets but is very durable. I generally find them on Home Depot, but in my Safeway was not available (not sure if they were out of stock or they simply are not bringing them). The thing is that I don't go to Home Depot frequently (maybe once or twice a year), and going just for this is a little pain. Although I recommend it 100% if you have it available.

  • I never thought I’d say that I adore a sponge! But I truly love sponge daddy so much. First of all, it’s super cute! I like to show it off near the sink by propping it up for all to get smiled at. I always buy a new one when I see one out in the wild. And the best part is, these sponges actually work so great and last so much longer than regular sponges. 10/10 my kitchen isn’t complete without my sponge daddy :)

  • Love the sponges and the power paste. The sponges are very durable and I've run them through the dishwasher several times to clean/sanitize and they're still holding up great! I don't love the damp duster that much, but that's just me.

  • Love love this product! It really cleans well and it doesn’t get food stuck all over it, I’ve purchased 4 and will continue. Also love the cute smiley when doing dishes which are no fun lol

  • I recently bought and remodeled a fairly gross house that required a ton of scrubbing. I opted to use scrub daddies for their renowned longevity and to say the least, I was not disappointed! They not only last, they are able to break through grime that your basic sponge cannot. Since then, I have switched my household cleaning sponges to scrub daddy and I don't see that changing anytime soon!

  • I've only used the classic Scrub Daddy/Scrub Mommy sponge, but I literally won't use any other type of sponge now! It works extremely well, scouring effectively without scratching dishes. I would always see professional cleaners on Instagram using them and didn't get it, but now I do. I'm a pretty hard scrubber and noticed scratches on my metal and plastic utensils and dishes, but with the Scrub Daddy I get just as good of a clean and no scratches. Also, I was concerned that the "hard in cold water, soft in hot water" thing was a gimmick, but it really does work. Although even in hot water the scrubby side definitely cleans well! Can't recommend these sponges enough – like I said, I simply won't use anything else now, and I live alone and have no dishwasher, so I've got plenty of experience :)

  • I don’t want no scrub a scrub is a guy that can’t get no love from me ScrubMommy all the way

  • Really love these! Durable and last a while for the price!

  • Great! Better than normal sponges

  • I can't live without my scrub daddy sponges!!

  • Love this! Helps clean even the toughest of stains and dirts.
