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.

  • The original scrubdaddy is such a great product. I love that you can use cold water to make the product hard and warm to make it more soft and malleable. I definitely want to try the brand’s other products! I also throw the product in the dishwasher to refresh it and it is like new!

  • As a professional organizer, people often ask for my favorite cleaning tools and Scrub Daddy is at the top! Love their mission, design, and they make effective products at reasonable prices that are readily available.

  • I just recently discovered that there's a world beyond the yellow smileyface sponge with Scrub Daddy - they have all kinds of different products in different colors and for different use cases. My current favorite is the stick that one can fill dish soap into and then scrub pans & pots etc. I know other brands have done that before (I used the Scotch Brite one before) but I find the scrub daddy one to be way better at getting off the crusty stuff quickly. I have also bought one of that same product for the bathroom to remove stains on the sink / shower and its also worked well. Plus, gifting the eco friendly sponges in gift boxes always is a hit, too!

  • I'm head over heels!! I actually discovered this gem on Shark Tank and let me tell you, it lives up to the hype. I'm obsessed with using it every single day, and I even have it in multiple colors. I'm definitely spreading the word to my friends and family because they need to experience this too. I've even got my mom completely hooked on these!

  • I’m a self-proclaimed dishwashing hater — but these make it fun! They also were the only thing to get the burnt on food off the stovetop. I will say I prefer the ones that actually look like a face (instead of the ones that look like regular sponges). They seem to last longer.

  • I remember seeing this brand on Shark Tank and immediately bought one - haven't bought a different sponge since. Kind of crazy how often I bring up this brand in conversations - not to mention they do a great job at TikTok.

  • I live in a college house, and let me tell you, the scrub daddy sponges are the only ones that can keep up! We love them!

  • scrub daddy is top tier, i will repurchase these for the rest of my life

  • I use this at my kitchen and also in the bathroom. It is firm and hard when used under cold water but gets softer in warmer water. I like how you can scrub with hardness first and then after getting off the dirtiness I can go ahead and wash it off with warm water. The eyes and the mouth also work as a good hole to put your spoon or fork through to wash it throughly. I have been repeating using this many times and would recommend it to others! I hope they will release a color that is not so bright. (like white, black gray...so it will fit my interior more)

  • Good scrubbing sponge, it also dries quickly, no bad smells. Great to use both dry and soft.

    I wish they had different shapes, I could use a design with hard corners, and perhaps thinner to fit regular sponge holders.

  • I think it's a good sponge but I have trouble seeing it as being innovative. It works!

    Feedback

    I'd love to see less bright colors. Nitpicky but the bright yellow doesn't go with my aesthetic.

  • I truly love these sponges! The natural or "colorless" Scrub Daddy is my favorite and I like how the sponges hold up over time. They also last so much longer than other sponges.

  • These sponges are super effective. The perfect balance between scrubby and soft. Never scratched a dish. And the smiley face makes it feel fun.

  • My roommates made me buy this. Definitely stronger than a normal sponge. Plus points for cute design!

  • Saw this on shark tank and my family has used it ever since. The cold-to-hot firmness feature is super helpful, however, sometimes I want the sponge to be stiff while I use hot water and that just doesn't work. The sponges hold a lot of soap and last for a pretty long time, so overall I would reccommend.

    Feedback

    For the smiley face sponge, a textured covering on one side that stays rough in hot water would be helpful.

  • It's a sponge. It smiles at you. It also works really well at removing stains. Another win for Shark Tank!

    Feedback

    It's a little silly looking but it works, right?

  • Super cute and does its job well! Not much else to say here except that it's a sponge worth the cost.

  • One of the few "As seen on TV" products that exceeded expectations. I will say I do prefer the "Sponge Daddy" that's just a rectangle rather than the flagship smiley face one but they really do work as great as they're advertise. I like having a softer sponge for certain items as well but this is definitely a solid staple sponge to keep stocked.

  • Such a great design. The mouth can be used around utensils and the eyes for cleaning handles. It is a nice, versatile sponge!
