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.

  • Scrub Daddy (and Mommy) is by far my absolute favorite sponge. It’s replaced not only my run-of-the-mill sponge, but is also an excellent replacement for steel wool when cleaning stainless steel pans. I can’t remember the last time I bought a regular sponge.

  • Scrubs my dishes very well.

  • These are very effective. However, I worry the shedding of plastic may be making the plastic problem in the oceans worse than it is already. And the condition our seas are in is pretty awful because of us. I am personally horrified that plastic is in our bodies and the bodies of countless other species.

  • You would be surprised that there are levels of performance in the sponge space, but oh wow these work well. I’m loyal to the original model for daily dish duty, and have converted people that have stayed at my house after they have tried it in my kitchen. And they last forever, even with regular trips through the dishwasher for sanitizing.

  • The ultimate hero in the kitchen... They last for SO long and really can clean anything!

  • I exclusively use Scrub Daddy/Mommy. I always have extra under my sink. They are cute, work beyond well and are durable.

  • Lasts a decent period of time before it becomes useless. I’ll try the natural ones eventually.

  • As a university student, I hate hate hate washing my dishes. Having a scrub daddy and scrub mommy in the house made washing the dishes so simple. Very quick and efficient. Do not scratch plates. Worth the money.

  • this product is game changer for someone like me who hates to do the dishes! Scrub Duddy is super simple and amazing at getting rid of tough stains! Love

  • I can never go back. after using a scrub daddy. I have one in action and one in back stock at all times! Makes cleaning dishes so easy and effortless & lasts what feels like forever. Totally worth the spend!

  • I’ve tried scrub daddy dupes and other sponges but scrub daddy is the most consistent product that doesn’t feel gross and smelly after weeks.

  • I think they have a great product, but recently had an encounter with their customer service and they were surprisingly rude via email. That aside, they clean really well and the design makes it really easy to clean things like spoons etc. I was surprised that they disintegrate but thats fine as I don't like keeping a sponge for too long anyway. The holiday versions of the sponge are really cute, and you can tell they're listening to customer feedback as they have ones that are smaller in size (thickness) now too!

  • Purchased Scrub Daddy after being frustrated and unsatisfied with other scrubbing sponges. Upon opening the Scrub Daddy I was impressed with the structure and composition of the product. It seemed stronger than other products I had tried. The Scrub Daddy absolutely did the job on a baking sheet with tough baked in food that other sponges could not.handle. Scrub Daddy may be 'too tough' for your usual day to day kitchen dishes - but when needed, it does the job.

  • Great! Love the hot/cold functionality from a loft product. They last for ages and come in so handy for unexpected stuck-on messes.

  • We love our Scrub Daddy. Lasts pretty long, and just so happy to be here.

  • I LOVE scrub daddy, but I prefer scrub mommy since she is double sided and does more! Like an actual mother lol. This is the only sponge I use, it really scrubs and gets the grime off! It is worth the price and a necessity in my kitchen.

  • I've used it for months and only changed it when my cousin cut it out.
