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.

  • Scrub Daddy's are the only sponges we use! They are excellent at removing baked on food from almost all of our pots and pans. They are easy to grip, and I enjoy the fun seasonal designs and colors. I wish they lasted a bit longer, but we certainly use ours daily so I understand why.

  • so great! love that it can be a hard scrubby when cold or a soft sponge when warm. I prefer scrub mommy because it has a variety of textures.

  • Such a good product when I saw it on shark tank I was vert impressed - is sturdy and cleans tough stains very well.

  • It’s my go-to sponge for all my cookware from enamel and stainless to carbon steel and cast iron. Doesn’t damage the surfaces or seasoning. I love that it doesn’t hold the colors or odors of food either.

  • As someone who loves to clean and tries out every cleaning product under the sun... there's a reason these are so popular! Been a loyal user for many, many years. Pro tip: Buy from Crate & Barrel if you want a neutral color (grey!).

  • Very cute sponges and I love that they don't get smelly after use. They tend to break down pretty easily after an intense scrubbing though.

  • I absolutely love my scrub daddies and have been using them exclusively for the last 2 years. They last long and get the job done in our household of exclusively hand washing. I recently got a scrub mommy which has a softer spongy side and an a big fan!

  • Does anybody need to pay this much for a dish sponge? Absolutely not. But does it work well, look cute, and stay smell-free after two months? Absolutely yes. And do they also come in fun seasonal shapes for a seasonal sucker like me? Also, yes! I always have one in my sink caddy, and I have no regrets!

  • LOVE these! One of these is all you need by the sink and it will last for 2-3 months. I have recently discovered the white and gray colors. These look much more design friendly by the sink.

  • I use my Scrub Daddy and Scrub Mommy for my dishes and to clean my kitchen. I have never had something so useful and I refuse to go back to regular sponges. Because Scrub Daddy products get grime, food, caked on things off faster, I spend less time and effort cleaning. I love Scrub Daddy and its products.

  • Scrub Daddy is undeniably the BEST sponge/cleaning product brand out there! The sponges are very durable and the shapes allow for much easier cleaning of dishes! The sponge also never smells and is super easy to sanitize in the microwave. They make a great scrub wand which is helpful for deep glasses and bottles. I’m a huge huge fan of the dust daddy!! It’s by far the best thing to collect dust without kicking it all up or just spreading it around - plus you just give her a rinse and the dust falls right off. It’s reusable and lasts forever. Lastly I appreciate their recycling program where you can redeem points by shipping back old/worn out sponges that they then recycle! Overall, Scrub Daddy is a great, trustworthy company that makes the best cleaning products. I couldn’t recommend more!

  • I mean. Is it required. No. It makes drudgery a little less dull. So yay. The scrubinezz is good — I like the bigger nooks and crannies.

  • I'd categorize this as a cute want but not a mandatory need. Not bad but it's just a yellow smiley face sponge.

  • Pretty solid sponge. The shape is obviously fun. It’s durable and high quality but nothing too game changing really.

  • Love this! The first products to actually clean my home and dishes!

  • Scrub Daddy sponge is a cleaning superhero! Its smiley face and texture change with hot/cold water, making it versatile and effective. Say goodbye to stubborn stains and hello to a cleaner, happier home.

  • These are so cute and hold up really well/don’t get as gross as a lot of other types of sponges do. I started using them recently and always try to keep a back-up on hand!
