Scrub Daddy earns glowing reviews for making cleaning faster and more effective—its FlexTexture sponges cut through baked‑on grime without scratching, resist odors, and last longer than typical sponges—while some reviews note durability can wane (shedding, tearing, softening) and the hot/cold firmness can be inconvenient for those who wash in hot water. Reviews also praise the versatile lineup (Scrub Mommy, Dish Daddy, Power Paste, Damp Duster) and the utensil‑friendly smile design, but mention bulkiness, food trapping, and sustainability concerns as recurring drawbacks.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Feedback

    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.
