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.

  • Excellent clean whether used wet for softer scrubbing or dry for more aggressive cleaning. Scratch free cleaning without chemicals. Holds up well to multiple uses and multiple surfaces. It drys fast and even after many uses does not retain a musty smell.

  • Works very well. Easy to use. Does its job

  • Love how long it lasts - every so often I pop it in the dishwasher and it's brand new again. I like how it softens in hot water to make it fit what I'm cleaning, but sometimes I do wish it would stay a little harder so I can scrub better with it while still using hot water to melt the grease off my pans.

  • This is one of the only tv show products that I go back to purchase time and time again. I love that you can put it in the dishwasher to refresh the sponge and it lasts a lot longer! It is a staple in my home!

  • Scrub daddy is all I use to clean. Its so versatile and works on everything. It can scrub even the toughest battles away. We now even use them at my family business because nothing could beat it.

  • Makes cleaning a breeze. I’m weird about germs and everything feels contaminated to me until **I** clean it. I’ll use different color scrub daddies for certain tasks and it helps me not feel like everything is cross contaminated, plus the fact I can throw them in the microwave to sanitize the sponges themselves. Overall great brand with very affordable products and a decent range of accessories to go with them

  • I started with this product because I cannot risk damage to my favorite pan. (I love this pan so much.) I’ve discovered that the combination of scrubbing power and flexible fibers works great for getting off burnt food. The best I’ve tried. Plus, I love my scrubber’s friendly face.

  • I absolutely love my Scrub Daddy. This scrubber lasts so long and works great on all of my dishes and pans. I do not find it abrasive and I find that the warmer the water the softer it gets so I can easily clean anything in the sink. I am a believer and have purchased many.

  • I work ina commercial bakery ad saw a viral hack to clean the inside glass on our oven. Barkeepers friend, warm water and scrub daddy. It was super easy and cleaned all the baked on dirt off. Looks fantastic!!! Would highly recommend scrub daddy. Did not scratch the glass or metal!

  • The scrub mommy is by far my favorite. The power of the daddy but soft like a mommy, the best of both worlds. Price point is on point, the seasonal/holiday selection make the cutest little gift. I run mine through the dishwasher weekly and replace every 4 to 6 weeks. I am currently using the emoji heart eyes from the princess collection for February. It’s a kitchen essential!

  • Scrub daddy lives up to the hype when it comes to scrubbing sponges. They don’t scratch up my pots and pans but do I great job of cleaning. The faces are cute but the plain ones are also really good as well.

  • There is a reason every cleaning influencer that does free cleans for hoarders swears by the scrub daddy. Smiley face aside, this Isa built for maximum durability and effectiveness, without destroying whatever surface you are cleaning.

  • I love that the ScrubDaddy Cocomesh scrubber is made with coconut husks and recycled materials. I’m hoping that the “recycled materials “ don’t include plastics as I’m trying to reduce my usage, but I guess it’s better than your standard sponge. They do a great job of scrubbing pots and stuck on food and are a good price for a two pack!

  • I absolutely love this sponge, it makes cleaning dishes so easy and enjoyable. I love how it gets soft when warm and hard when the water is cold. The texture is truly amazing and this sponge lasts a long time.

  • I’m all for adding whimsy into my life in small ways, and I really love having the scrub daddy smiling up at me from the kitchen sink! It’s gentle enough on my pots to not scratch their coating, but tough on hard stuck food. I like how it gets softer with hot water and more rigid with cold water so that it can be useful for whatever I need in the moment.

  • Scrub mommy and scrub daddy are my favorite sponges! They feel so durable in my hands and are great at cleaning tough food encrusted dishes and dirt and grime as well! Super reliable product and love that they now have dye free products too!

  • I love Scrub Daddy products! Every one I've tried has cleaned well without being too harsh or scratching my cookware/dishes, holds up for a while and they're cute/fun, which makes chores a little easier. I like how easy it is to change the head on the dish wand (a task I usually find kind of gross) and that it just sticks on. The innovative materials on Scrub Daddy products really work.

  • I love Scrub Daddy! They’re cute and they work so well cleaning dishes and pots and pans. They last a long time and are durable. Plus, they deep clean my dishes really well. I love the seasonal ones too.

  • These sponges are very high quality and durable. They clean well, last a long time, and look cute even when used. I like the dye free option, which matches everything and is a more natural option. I hope this brand continues to make more products!

  • As someone who is grossed out by the residual wetness/inevitable smell of a traditional sponge, I've become a total convert to Scrub Daddy. They drain quickly and hold no water while resting in the sink. The little faces are cute and they are efficient at scrubbing dishes. The only drawback for me is that because they're not absorbent, they're not the best at wiping up spills like a traditional sponge would be.
