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.

  • I bought these at the grocery store a year ago and after having a sponge for a little over a month I literally texted all my friends how great they are!! I will tell you why - they don't smell awful! I'm really not sure how they last so long without smelling gross like most cheap sponges but they do. And they smile at you!

  • I'll never use a regular sponge again. I've said goodbye to all my other dishwashing tools. As someone who doesn't have a dishwasher, Scrub Daddy is a lifesaver.

  • These are legit! I used these to clean up a mosaic I was making and they didn't quit. I wish they weren't plastic and were compostable...

  • Truly the holy grail of sponges, I refuse to use any other sponge! Worth every penny and last awhile. High quality and high cleaning power. Can use for just about anything around the house!

  • love my scrub daddy but love love love love my scrub mommy. The 2 sides are exactly what I am looking for when I am cleaning the dishes- one for the tough stains and the other for cleansing off the soap suds. Absolutely genius product.

  • I use the eco scrub daddy that can be recycled. These things really work and do not scratch soft surfaces. I use mine (different ones) for dishes and for cleaning the bathroom. They last for a long time and worth the cost.

  • As someone who hates doing the dishes, scrub daddy makes it a hell of a lot easier. Literally works wonders.

  • These are worth the hype! I have been using scrub daddy for about 2 years and have loved it! I purchase the natural dye free ones and use them in conjunction with a regular sponge. Its perfect for scrubbing and getting into hard to get to places when doing dishes.

  • I don't think I get it. It is fine, but it is just a sponge. Mine is now falling apart, but I did like it until that happened. Have not tried anything except the original yellow sponge.

  • fantastic invention! Use them all the time for my pans and getting tough food off from cooking. Never ruins the pans or scratches them. Same with cooking utensils that get tons of food gunnk on them and normally hard to get off.

  • I'm terrible at washing the dishes but this makes the whole experience a bit more tolerable. I love seeing the cute design, not to mention the dynamic response to heat is helpful! I stock up on these sponges whenever possible.

  • I love how these change texture depending on the water temperature. I like to buy the white ones that haven't been dyed. Great quality and these do not get disgusting like a regular sponge.

  • I don’t watch Shark Tank but I know the lore. This product transcends the QVC/As Seen on TV genre! Adorable and effective. I even had the Scrub Mommy as my Instagram icon for years.

  • i am a cleaning fanatic. i enjoy using the right tools in my kitchen. scrub daddy makes a variety of products that work well on my all clad, dishes, and blades. i like the texture to work with when j need something more than a plastic brush. i appreciate the color variety so that i can color coordinate with my cleaning.

  • I mean really, who doesn’t love Scrub Daddy and Scrub Mommy. Innovative and fun! They work so well for all kinds of surfaces. 10/10 affordable products!

  • Who doesn't love scrub daddy? This cleaning product continues to be the best in the market

  • Really cute & useful sponge. It doesn’t scratch anything and cleans up well. It doesn’t work well when scrubbing cooking pans with hot water, as that makes it less abrasive. But good for everyday dishes.

  • Makes scrubbing a breeze! Gets clean in the dishwasher. So it works well and cleans itself, don't know what more you could want!
