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.

  • To be honest, I never thought about sponge quality in general until I got a Scrub Daddy. No joke- it is the best sponge on the market. The temperature-sensitive change in texture is a complete game changer and it is sooooo worth the extra money to use. The design is flawless! 10/10

  • It's ok. I guess it's a love or hate situation. I tried the scrubber on the stick with the soap in the handle and I liked, but it was more of a mess than what I was wanting, so it now lives in the landfills with all other trash. I did have a Scrub Daddy and it worked for a while, but my husband does the ceramic laundry - aka dishes- and he didn't like at all. So we're back to a regular sponge.

  • Clean, fun, easy to use. Convenient sponge that is memorable with the smile and makes dishwashing easy. Learned about it on Shark Tank many years ago, and it's a staple in the kitchen for cleanliness and stability.

  • Only sponge I use now! I buy them in packs at Costco but one can last me a very long time. Love the dual sided sponge too, as it takes us less counter space. Also doesn't fall apart or crumble like some other cheaper brands. Won't try anything else now!

  • I didn't get the hype until I got a package of Scrub Daddy sponges. I don't know what the soft side is made of, but there's some kind of cleaning magic going on that I don't understand. I'm an obsessive dishwasher and am looking for a sponge that can really get in to the nooks and crannies and clean, and I think I've found my match with Scrub Daddy. The shape annoyed me at first, utensil handles kept ending up going through the mouth, but the sponges are flexible enough to clean glasses, bottles, bowls, and plates, and sturdy enough to use on pots, pans, and other stubborn kitchenware. They are on the pricey side, but we're talking about $50 more over the course of a year for a product that makes me feel better about the cleanliness of my dishes. Well worth it if you ask me...

  • Scrub Mommy from Whole Foods is my go to, also like the compostable ones from Whole Foods as well but they are a little less durable (head's up).

  • Prepare to be amazed by this sponge's ability to transform its texture with water temperature, providing a diverse range of cleaning capabilities!

  • My favorite sponge!! These last so much longer than your average sponge. I’ve used these for several years & have never had a problem getting my dishes clean. I love that they’re expanding with products as well.

  • Great price, does the job, lasts a while. Will continue to purchase. Also, love the smiley face😁

  • Who doesn’t love SCRUB daddy??? Seriously- makes cleaning actually enjoyable 😉

  • Great sponge, does a fantastic job! Very sturdy and easy to use. Washes clean from the nastiest job! Love it!! I scrub the dirtiest casserole dishes and get it clean WITHOUT any soaking!! Whoa, that is amazing!

  • First saw these on tik tok then at my moms house, then i realized they were at Target and I could get my own! They are awesome, They dont smell after a few uses, they have both a soft scrubber and a hard scrubber making it an all in one tool and they retain their shape really well. Im pumped about my scrub dadddy

  • I can't ever go back to normal sponges. I am obsessed with these sponges — they have changed the dish washing game for me, especially since my apartment doesn't have a dishwasher.

  • My husband and I have gone through a couple of these and while they work fine, I don’t understand the hype. I’d just as soon use a good sponge that costs way less.

  • After all the hype for years, I think it was worth experiencing once. I got a 3-pack with a discount and they worked well up until they started to shred and flake from use. I don't love more microplastics going down the drain so hoping for a more green version that can be made in the future.

  • I got a free Scrub Daddy as a “thanks for staying here” at an AirBnB. It’s awesome. The color hasn’t changed. It doesn’t smell. It does the tough jobs and the easy ones equally.

  • My kitchen wouldn’t be complete without my scrub daddy. I personally prefer the no dye scrub mommy, but this is my favorite cleaning tool by far.

  • I really love their ecofriendly sponge. I do feel like the scrubby part (on all the sd sponges I have tested) looks gross after sometime, lol.
