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.

  • The only sponge I use since getting one! The tougher side works great for the harder scrubbing jobs when doing dishes or cleaning the counter.

  • Power paste is my go to for most surfaces. The sponges are good when you need a bit extra scrub power, though I try not to buy plastic ones. But, one comes with the paste so I use it. My only complaint is the power paste needs to come in bigger tubs without the scrubber.

  • Great little product. Toss in the dishwasher every once in a while to refresh it and prolong its life.

  • Keep repurchasing! At first, I bought it because it was cute, but I genuinely fell in love with it. I love the they are double-sided and come in a variety of colors.

  • Loved this thing! Made for a good scrub for my kitchen sink and the smiley face was actually holes for your fingers (clever!). I’ve bought this sponge for several uses and they’ve made a loyal customer out of me.

  • A must have in every kitchen! Nothing else is so versatile to get tough stains out but can also be easy for more delicate kitchen ware. I've been using them for 4 years and refuse to switch to anything else!

  • As good as they say? Yes. Necessary? Yes. I probably keep each of my sponges longer than they should be kept, but they never get an odor or seem like they’re on their last breath. They work on everything, durable, machine washable, and last forever.

  • My absolute favorite sponge. It gets off anything that you’ve forgotten to wash for a few days. I mostly love that it doesn’t have the soggy spongy texture ever, no matter how much you use it.

  • The best sponge. Plain and simple. I now feel grossed out by "normal" sponges. The scrub daddy is highly effective but doesn't scratch my pans. It dries quickly. It made me hate washing dishes a little less!

  • So this sponge gets down to business! I do experience some fall out of the product during intense scrubbing sessions with my pans. Other than that it’s pretty good! A lot better than using metal sponges which damage and scratch your stainless steel and no stick pans.

  • The Scrub Daddy is my ultimate cleaning product this year. I keep buying it over and over again. And you know what? The best part is you can leave it wet and it won't get that funky smell. Love it! I also love scrub daddy and the power paste

  • Shark tank OG legend… cheap price and worth the hype. You can’t help but feel happy when you see the scrub daddy on your sink. Knocking a star because I don’t think they are sustainably made.

  • Daddy and Mommy have both changed how I do dishes. Now if I’m in a house without these, I am reminded that sponges can get gross. Great product and easy to find

  • I have thrown out all other types of sponges and strictly use this brand. They hold up well and are sturdy enough help me get in there and really clean certain areas.

  • I am kind of obsessed with these. I was doubtful at first. They’re amazing to scrub pots with. Like the kind you burn stuff on the bottom with. The paste is meh I prefer my blue dawn but the scrubber itself is 💯 worth it.

  • This is the only sponge I’ll use for cleaning. I feel like it gets everything the cleanest and doesn’t get the foul odor of regular sponges.

  • Have the original and the one with the soft side. Love that it goes soft in warm water and is so easy to clean.

  • Its the best scrubber ever! Makes scrubbing so easy. I hate doing the dishes by hand because I don't feel things get as clean as in the dishwasher, however Scrub Daddy makes it very easy to clean everything and scrubbing a breeze. I also use a separate scrubber to clean the bathroom and it makes cleaning the shower and the bath extremely easy. Love that you can also control the hardness of the scrubber with the water temperature and its super absorbent which makes it perfect for very sudsy cleaning products.
