  • 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.

  • I'm so glad to have discovered ScrubDaddy products. Washing dishes is easier, especially tough pans. They last much longer than a regular dish sponge. I just throw it in the dishwasher to freshen up. I can't wait to try their other products! Highly recommend giving this brand a try!

  • Absolutely LOVE scrub daddies!! They last longer than the average sponge and they don’t get smelly for a long time! They don’t scratch our high end cookware and they absorb the soap evenly. I always feel confident using these sponges knowing that they’re getting the work done!

  • One of my favorite products. Makes cleaning effective and fun. It's durable and really convenient to use for many tasks.

  • I have been using the scrub daddy sponges for a couple of years now. They are useful for many purposes, including dishes, cleaning the bathroom and for many different purposes. I highly recommend the scrub daddy sponges.

  • Scrub Daddy and Scrub Mommy are amazing sponges. They work so well at removing food and grime without damaging pots or pans. They really make doing the dishes and cleaning a lot easier. They’re definitely a product that’s a necessity in my household. The designs are great too.

  • Scrub Daddy's work so well & they look so cute on my counter. I love their seasonal & limited edition colors & designs.

  • Scrub Daddy is an okay sponge, but it doesn't clean any better than the average two-sided sponges I buy at the grocery store. I bought four Scrub Daddy scrubbers and I've been using them over the last year but I find they don't soften in water as much as I would like and they tend to scratch the items I use them on. If you had a tough surface with hard stains, these might work well for you but, for me, I wasn't impressed.

  • Let's be honest. Cleaning dishes is kind of dull. So what could be better to cheer up the experience than a sponge with huge smile? 🙂 It's sponge like, gets the job done, and seems to last well. Plus, apparently you can put it in the dishwasher to keep it clean. What's not to like?

  • It really is just a sponge to me... Great fun option but nothing special!

  • Worked well, the texture and function capabilities while changing in water temperatures did not seem to work in my case.

  • I don't even need to review this, I feel like by now everyone can agree the scrub daddy sponges are extremely well made for their function. I hate washing dishes, but at least the scrub daddy sponge makes it easier to do and he does so with a cute little smile.

  • This is just a great brand, their sponges work so so well. They're a bit more expensive but definitely worth it.

  • Does anyone NOT love a scrub daddy? These are the best and you can’t convince me otherwise!

  • I absolutely love scrub daddy. I have used sponges for years and none compare. I like the ones with the soft side and the scrub side, it makes it versatile for many things. I really like that they make the scrub mommy without the dyes

  • Never thought I'd be writing a review for a cleaning sponge- but I'm in my 30's and here we are! And that's simply because Scrub Daddy makes me smile when I see it, and also works better than other sponges we've tried. It's also been great to see these pop up at Costco- that's always a win to buy in bulk and have accessible.

  • Finally purchased the original Scrub Daddy sponge after seeing so many TikTok videos from actual cleaning services that vouch for this product. Not to mention it's one of the show Shark Tank's best-selling items in the program's history. I purchased from Amazon and got 4 sponges for $19 as well as a sink caddy. I was surprised at how large the sponges actually were so that made me feel better about the cost. And I was happy that clearly identified on the box it stated how the sponge is kind of a two-for-one in that when dry or slightly wet the texture is very hard/firm and good for scrubbing harder messes, but when wet the bristles soften and become safer for softer items. I've been using the same sponge for about 3 weeks now and it's held up great and works with both liquid dish soap as well as powder soap. The caddy is a must and is so discreet in the sink. I may order the Scrub Daddy handle for the sponge to see if I like that better than actually holding the sponge with my hand, but overall it's a simple, great product that does the job better than those traditional little rectangle sponges.

  • Two words: classic product. This may be preaching to the choir, but I love my Scrub Daddy sponge. The smiling face makes dish washing a lot less boring than it would be otherwise. Not to mention, the design inspires a lot of creativity. I have created a couple of custom Scrub Daddy sponges for fun. It's just a really funny product that needs very little words to recommend. : ))

  • How did I know I'd give 5-star reviews to cleaning products 😅 I always have a Scrub Daddy in my kitchen and laundry. The product changes based on the temperature of the water as well - so, firmer for heavy scrubbing when run under cold water, and softer for light scrubbing in warmer water.

    The entire family is very large (from Scrub Mommy's to Dish Daddy's). Note: There are also colorant-free Scrub Daddys available.
