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.

  • I really like this product. It is safe to use on most surfaces and has made a difference when cleaning- especially the shower!

    Feedback

    I think they’d last longer if the were cut in half. Would love an eco-friendly option

  • Scrub daddy really helps to scrub away set in and hard grease in any place. I recently moved and I cleaned the whole house with scrub daddy materials and everything is so sparkling clean now!

  • Great product. Don't have to worry about scratching my nice pots and pans. Cleans surprisingly well for how soft they are. I have the caddy and soap dispenser to go with them.

  • I will never go back to using a regular sponge!! I love how the Scrub Daddy can be firm or soft depending on the temperature of the water. It’s very useful when there’s a stubborn piece of food that won’t come off my week-old dishes. I’m able to use each one for a couple of months before replacing and it’s just cute to have a smiley face in my kitchen sink!

  • Great product! I use it instead of a sponge to hand wash dishes and it removes grime/good without scratching the surface.

    Feedback

    Not sure if this is fixable, but the holes in the sponge are big enough that pieces of food in them. I have to make sure to remove most of the food before I use the scrub daddy or it'll get food stuck in it

  • I really enjoy the feel and overall innovation of the sponges! The original is by far the best however after a few months does begin to deteriorate. The warm water effect of softening and cold water effect of abrasion is great and makes dis washing so easy!

    Feedback

    Creating a compostable material would be amazing!

  • Great product, love how it’s strong enough to clean without scratching.

    Feedback

    The price for the accessories is quite high. The sponge holder price is a bit high and very hard to find in stores and online.

  • Affordable, versatile and user friendly. I don’t typically use those words to describe cleaning products & tools… they’re often intimidating, expensive, or confusing to use correctly. The scrub daddy is amazing and can do just about any cleaning project your house could need!! My sponge has lasted about 8 times as long as one of the cheap disposable blue ones I used to buy in bulk. It’s keeping more sponges out of landfills and keeping my dishes cleaner! I’m in love!!!

  • Love them! Works better than any sponge I’ve had. Stick it in the freezer for a minutes before going after stuck on food. I have the get a new one when my current one gets full of food but it doesn’t fall apart or anything

  • I thought the scrub daddy works as advertised. I really love this product. I saw it on shark tank and then impulse purchased it in the check out

  • I think the sponge cleans very well and cleans dishes or utensils easily.

    Feedback

    Pretty good sponge but I wish that there were more sizes of it, so you could travel with it.

  • It's amazing, it does a great job at cleaning dishes and other spaces. It's really easy to take dirt or food of of surfaces when I'm using it!

  • I got this from BBB and was excited to try it, it was priced at $15. I was pretty disappointed when I got it, it was really stiff and something my hands didn't like. I will stick to the usual. soft / hard sponge.

    Feedback

    Its too stiff to the hands. I was totally disappointed

  • Love the product, but expensive and doesn’t last as long as it should. I’d rather have magic sponges

    Feedback

    Needs to last longer for the price point. Doesn’t work as well as a magic sponge

  • Unlike any other sponge I've used. Lasts a long time. Aesthetically pleasing. Multiple friends have immediately switched after. Recommended to me by mom, who knows best!

    Feedback

    Only food that really has trouble washing off is parmesan cheese

  • I really enjoyed using the scrub dady. I found that it did last a while longer than my traditional sponge. However, i find the price a little steep for what you get.

    Feedback

    Could be a little more abrasive.

  • It’s a magical sponge. Two-in-one if you think about the different functions it performs under hot/cold temperatures.

    Feedback

    I would make a scrub sponge. Without the face.

  • Great sponges. They are perfect for scrubbing and get anything off. I use it a lot in the bath tub and it cleans everything so well.

    Feedback

    I wish they were just slightly softer

  • Big Scrub Mommy fan - best of both worlds. Scrub daddy energy on one side, soft tough of mommy on the other! Seriously I don't think I'll use other sponges again.

    Feedback

    Personally, don't think anything
