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

  • Food trapping in open pores

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.

  • I love the nature of the changing hard to soft cleaning without any chemicals. I am sensitive to just about all cleaners and Scrub Daddy had made it easier for me to clean off hard to scrub dishes without hurting my hands.

  • I can't think of any other scrub to use for my dishes. Scrub daddy does it all!

    Feedback

    Not much to be honest. Everything about the product is perfect.

  • Best sponge I’ve ever used. Love that I can just throw it in the dishwasher to clean it when it’s dirty and doesn’t scratch the skin or stainless steel pots and pans.

  • The dual sided scrubs are really cute and love that it’s designed to be held with finger holes

  • These work wonderfully. I keep repurchasing every time mine gets worn out.

  • The best sponges I’ve ever used! I always felt like the “scrubber” part of traditional sponges held onto food and got gross and stringy quickly, but I never have trouble washing these out after use. They also don’t stink at all even if you don’t wring them out. I’ve only tried the scrub daddy and not the other versions so I’m not sure if they differ.

    I wish they lasted a bit longer, but for someone without a dishwasher that cooks a lot, these last me about 3-4 weeks each. Huge fan!

  • very easy to use and very effective.

  • I am obsessed with the Scrub Daddy sponge. The fact that different temperature water changes the firmness is amazing. It cleans glass so well. Also the eye holes act as a perfect finger position for scrubbing. Have been super pleased with this purchase.

    More colours would be great. This way, you can work out which sponge is your bathroom scrubber and which is the kitchen one to prevent cross contamination or mix ups.

  • Definitely my favorite sponge. Easy to clean and dries quickly and the temperature responsive hardness is nice! Bonus that it’s recyclable.

    Feedback

    Starts shedding if you use it on strainers

  • Loved cleaning with this. I found it to be very effective but at the same time, gentle enough not to scratch my cast iron tub.

    Feedback

    The price point for the dye free option is a bit high.

  • Love, love, love. I purchased a scrub daddy because I was curious. I purchased so much more because I was convinced. It works really well in numerous areas (e.g., showers, stove tops, ovens) and lasts a long time. I have had my scrub daddy's for months and haven't needed to replace them yet.

  • Awesome product. The sponges last a while, I like that you can put them in the dishwasher. Cool products. My favorite product from is the Scrub Babies, since I have smaller hands. I also recently started using their Power Paste and so far it's been great as well. Their Soap Daddy design is pretty cool too.

    Feedback

    The quality of the Soap Daddy could be improved, I have had mine for about 6 months now and it is already leaking from the bottom.

  • I love my scrub daddy! It’s way more effective and durable than a regular sponge. I use it for washing dishes and cleaning hard to scrub surfaces.

  • It's adorable and works perfect. And it's easier to clean off than a regular sponge.

    Feedback

    I keep mine for while so if it has cute colors that would be fun.

  • Literally cleans the mess off of anything! SO good

    Feedback

    They’re a bit expensive

  • Works as promised. No smells or build up. Definitely recommend it

  • I love these Smiley Face sponges - not only are they really functional but it has encouraged my kids to help with the cleaning around the house too. I will buy again, thanks Scrub Daddy.

  • These are my favorite cleaning items ever! I have the mommy and the daddy and I love them both. Everything the company describes it as, is what it does.

  • After using scrub daddy I don't want to use another sponge. It really cleans and scrubs off hard residue.

    Feedback

    Does not last as long as I hoped, just needs to improve the durability since it is advertised to be used for a long time as well as dishwasher safe.

  • I’ve been using scrub daddy since 2019 and I have nothing but good things to say. My favorite is that it doesn’t get mildewy and gross as soon as regular scrub sponges and is also great for getting off tough crusty bits but without damaging the pot/pan. Love it!!!
