  • Scratch-free scrubbing performance
  • Odor-resistant, hygienic sponge

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.

  • Used a Scrub Daddy / Scrub Mommy and loved how it cleaned. Both sides were useful for different tasks. The drawback was when the daddy started shedding. Now I have bits of whatever it is getting everywhere and going down the drain, which probably isn't great for our sewer/water system.

    More sustainable product. Less deterioration. I guess you have to throw them out quickly once they start losing strength.

  • Scrub Daddy's products are LITERALLY the best! I've used the original Scrub Daddy, Scrub Mommy, and Dish Daddy and I would recommend them to anyone. These sponges work so well and I'm not even exaggerating when I say I'm excited to try out the rest of Scrub Daddy's products. If you haven't tried them yet, you totally should!

  • I love this brand. I bought the bargain box with a bunch of different product in it like the daddies, mommies, erasers, screen daddies, and a daddy caddy for the sink. I’ve tried them all and without fail, they outshine and out work the competitors. Sponges are icky but scrub daddy stays smell free and hold up for quite a while.

    Food definitely gets stuck in the daddy. Definite have to give it a post wash “wash” to get the particles out. I do love the weird faces an almost dead scrub daddy makes when it dries in the caddy.

  • Always a savior when washing dishes I love it and I would never get anything else

  • I absolutely love cleaning with my Scrub Daddy! It's firm enough to really clean my pots and pans without scratching their surface and I feel like it's more hygienic to use than regular sponges. I'm a huge fan of Scrub Daddy, even though they're a little bit pricier than their counterparts.

    The only helpful tip I can provide is to dip your Scrub Daddy in bowl of cold water with ice for a few seconds to help it firm up to help with cleaning really tough jobs. On the other hand, run your Scrub Daddy under hot water to help "relax" it for gentler cleaning needs.

  • I Like these but to be honest I don't think they are that much better then normal scrubber's. they do stay firm for a while but I definitely don't think you need this to get your house clean..

    Feedback

    I think that its a good design. but i think it should be a little bit bigger or thicker.

  • Very effective in cleaning food and gunk off dishes, while remaining gentle enough you don’t worry about harming your dish ware. The design makes it fun to use. I appreciate the functionality of the mouth serving dual-purpose of perfect shape to clean spoon.

    None

  • Only sponge I use. The best thing is that it never gets stinky. Bad thing is the price.

  • I felt like with my pot pans and the rest of my house I can’t clean it as good with out my scrub daddy !!

  • Scrub daddy cleans well and is a great brand! I also like their other products

    Feedback

    My only feedback is that the sponge itself is quite scratchy and I feel like it hurts my hands sometimes

  • Awesome best thing to use to clean with

  • Literally my FAVORITE sponges. I love the daddy and mommy sponges. I'll never go back to a regular sponge. The holiday collections are also so much fun!

    Nothing - perfect as is.

  • Obsessed with my scrub daddy. I was influenced by TikTok to purchase this along with a cleaning agent. It has saved my glass stovetop time and time again! Works well on water stains too.

    Love their sponges! I need to branch out and get other products.

  • I have been using Scrub Daddy for over a year now and this is the best sponge replacement. The standard green and yellow sponge that others typically use smells, breaks down, and costs more due to it the number of replacements to buy because it does not last long. The Scrub Daddy easily breaks down whatever gunk may be on any of your dishes and counters. If after a month or two I ever start to feel like it is getting close to having to buy a new one, I take the old one and find a different use for it such as cleaning the bathroom. There are easy ways to extend its life because it simply can last that long with little to no issues.

    If you are considering this brand, I highly recommend it. I will never buy a different brand again.

  • This has replaced all my other sponges. The texture is amazing and it’s reaction the water temperature has made cleaning a breeze. The face makes cleaning things like utensils way easy too.

    Feedback

    I do wish it came in more colors than yellow. This may just be my experience as I bought it from a big box store

  • I've been using these since 2016 and love them. They don't smell like most sponges you can buy from the store. They lather really well, and are just coarse enough to not scratch your cookware but gets all the grime off.

  • These are cute but barely last for actual cleaning, disappointingly.

  • Gets stubborn sticky stuff off dishes well. Also use to clean kitchen sink with a little dawn. Dries quickly, refreshed in dishwasher when started to smell a little. Thums up on this product.

  • I love this sponge. It cleans so well without scratching my pans and pots. It’s also very cute. I love using this all the time for everything!! Makes cleaning fun.

  • Scrub daddy and scrub mummy and all the other characters in between. All great! They do exactly what you need then I just throw them into the dishwasher with the dishes to give them a good clean. I have one in the kitchen and two in the bathroom.
