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.

  • LOVE scrub daddy!!! The sponge is not only cute which makes doing the dishes a little more joyful, but it cleans super well without being hard on my cookware. I love the different textures of the sponge as well. Good price point also.

  • I was looking for a scrubber without harsh chemicals, and this has been the only one I've found that is actually effective, bendy, and lasts a long time.

  • This review is specifically for dish washing with the original Scrub Daddy : I was skeptical, but I've come to love this happy little sponge. I love that it changes hardness depending on the water temperature, so I can use it as a hard scrubber for pans and dishes or as a soft cleaner for delicate glassware. The little mouth is so handy for cleaning spoons and forks, and I use the eyes to wash chopsticks.

    I do find that it doesn't do great at oily/greasy dishes, and need to switch sponges for that.

  • Amazing sponge worth the extra dollars. Long lasting and didn’t need to repurchase quickly like a cheaper sponge would need to be.

  • I haven't bought a sponge in years since trying Scrub Daddy. The most effective cleaning tool for literally any surface.

  • I got into this after watching cleaning videos on tiktok and bought a number of products from sponge to the cleaner. They're fun, cute, and pretty effective for cleaning. At the end of the day, it's also just another sponge but maybe one that lightens the task of cleaning.

    Pricey for what it is and products not always readily available at stores.

  • I have a few scrub mommy sponges. I think they work well and are easy to clean by putting in the dish washer.

  • Ride-or-die dishwashing item, seriously. I've cycled through small brushes, full-size brushes, soft sponges, sponges with abrasive sides... nothing compares to Scrub Daddy.

    Feedback

    Nothing. It is so worth the hype.

  • These are my FAVORITE sponges. They work so well and really hold up. I have the caddy too! Can't imagine using any other sponges.

  • It's just okay... That's it. It's a sponge. It doesn't have a soft side, so it's limited on what you can use it on. If you want to get kids into cleaning, then this could be a fun way to do it, but that's about it.

    Feedback

    Include a soft side and an abrasive side.

  • Purchased a scrub daddy after seeing their TikTok ads. It’s phenomenal! I appreciate how it turns hard in cold water which is excellent for scrubbing! Additionally, cannot recommend the PowerPaste enough! It works wonders on the bottom of stainless steel pans that have browned over time.

  • I don't know what all the fuss is about. I was not impressed.It's a non-abrasive sponge that changes its hardness if you use hot or cold water. Since I typically use hot water to wash my pots and pans, its effectiveness was not that great. Also, it falls apart quickly. I think magic erasers work much better on cooktops and other surfaces.

  • Love my Scrub Daddy! They are very durable and being able to toss one in the dish washer to clean it and then keep reusing it has been amazing. No smell or grossness like a typical sponge. Plus they’re cute!

  • The product is amazing. The customer service is crap.

    Feedback

    Better customer service line. Why do I have to filter through the entire directory before I can talk to someone

  • Great high quality product! This is a must for your kitchen sink. Perfect stubborn stuck on food scrapes.

  • Literally my favorite sponge! I love that you just throw it into the dishwasher to clean it so it lasts so much longer than a traditional sponge.

    Feedback

    It's a fun design but doesn't really go with a clean, modern kitchen haha. If they made like neutral or pastel sponges - that'd be cool!

  • I love Scrub Daddy. First of all, a Pennsylvania based company? YES PLEASE. I have scrub daddies and mommies alllll over my apartment and they stay super strong. Worth the money and get the job done. Also super cute:)
