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 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.

    Received a free product from Scrub Daddy
  • 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.

  • you can never go wrong with scrub daddy. lasts long, cleans well - i personally prefer scrub mommy because they dont use any of the dyes for coloring, but all products are amazing!

  • I like the variety of Scrub Daddy products, but in my opinion, they don’t do anything more than any other sponge. For the price point, I wish these products did more

  • Love these sponges and the wide variety of products the company as a whole has to offer! I wish the life of the sponge would last a tad bit longer for the price you’re paying, but that’s just my own personal opinion!

  • I bought a scrub daddy set at Costco on sale. The product is designed well switching between a wet soft surface for everyday cleaning and a dry hard surface to tackle tough messes. My only two concerns are that the dry hard surface can be damaging on pan coating, removing the anti-stick coating if scrubbing too hard and the surface area for everyday cleaning can be less useful when compared to a traditional dish cloth. I use the scrub daddy on burnt pans and other surfaces that could use a mean scrub.

  • I have a scrub daddy and scrub mommy I love my scrub family! I will exclusively use these for the rest of my dish washing life

  • they may seem overpriced for what they are but I promise it’s 100% worth it. I’ve used other brands, cheaper obviously, and there’s definitely a difference in quality. I don’t need to take 5-10 minutes to wash the dishes anymore. So at least scrub daddy makes washing dishes less miserable

  • The only sponge I'll use. It is durable, adorable, and so so much better than the average kitchen sponge.

  • Can be used on a different surfaces and it holds its shape better and longer than most other scrubs. Easy to hold and use and it cleans like a charm.

  • Besides just being the cutest smiley face sponge, this sponge is effective at getting off the grime!

  • These are great! They don't scratch our stove and make cleaning easier. I use them for cleaning my cats' litter boxes and kitchen sink too.

  • Love that the texture changes with temperature making it highly versatile when cleaning dishes/kitchenware/appliances! Definitely worth every cent.

  • These are the best sponges I’ve used. I also like that they don’t get gross that quickly and they’re really hardy.

  • Got it at target I believe and it does the job. Really like the product

  • the very best. these are effective at cleaning, cause no damage, and last forever without getting gross.

  • Pros: I like that it's resistant to microbial growth. The scrub mommy has the extra tough side too. Cons: none so far? Bottom line: It works. I'd love a version with a handle.
