  • Scratch-free scrubbing performance
  • Odor-resistant, hygienic sponge
  • Innovative temperature-responsive material
  • Ergonomic, utensil-cleaning design
  • Inconsistent long-term durability
  • Bulky round shape ergonomics
  • Food trapping in open pores
  • Potential microplastic shedding

Scrub Daddy earns overwhelmingly positive reviews for delivering effective, long‑lasting scrubbers that tackle baked‑on grime without scratching, stay odor‑resistant, and can be sanitized, but some reviews flag durability inconsistencies and bulkiness, with food trapping and microplastic shedding concerns. Reviews of Scrub Daddy also praise the FlexTexture hot/cold firmness shift and clever smile design for utensils, while noting that the stiff texture can feel rough, the round shape isn’t ideal for tight corners, and performance drops for users who prefer scrubbing with hot water only.

  • I originally found this product at Walmart, and I really thought the name was funny so I got one. I then took the sponge home and used it in my dishes and I really liked how it got all that hard to get off stuff stuck to my dishes from time to time. I also enjoy how the company also makes holiday theme shapes so it matches the rest of my kitchen.

    I enjoy how the sponge operates and gets hard to get off debris off my dishes.

  • The way this sponge gets everything off is actually incredible. It makes cleaning dishes so much easier and faster and it looks cute just sitting on my sink. A super product and definitely worth changing from my old sponges

  • We love our scrub daddy and always have one in our sink and at least one extra ready on deck to make sure we never run out. They really do work fantastically, and we love that they soften in warm water and harden in cold. If you need something a bit more abrasive, we just leave the scrub daddy less wet. In our house, one scrub daddy tends to last at least a month before wearing down or getting too ripped up and needing to be replaced. Four stars because I wish they could be made with a more sustainable material :(

  • I really thought that this was just a novelty product that was super famous because they were on Shark Tank, but these people have sold so many things for a reason!!!! My pet peeve is when you use a sponge for too long and it gets all soggy, deflated, and gross. Using the Scrub Daddy sponge truly feels like an upgrade - in addition to feeling hard when dried, the sponge changes texture depending on whether it is run under cold or hot water, giving more flexibility to use different textures! I use this sponge on several delicate products (such as Caraway non-stick pans) and have had no issues with scratching, damage to the pans, etc. Additionally, you can just stick it in the dishwasher if it is getting a little dirty and it is good as new!

  • I never thought I'd actually have a preference for what sponge I buy. Scrub Daddy changed that. It doesn't get yucky or gross, and I love how the texture changes based on what temperature you use.

    If you're looking for an even better upgrade. Snag the Scrub Mommy!

  • I use a Scrubdaddy daily in my dish-washing routine. It gets stuff like egg, protein, sauces, etc. off my non-stick pans with ease and makes for cleaning my smoothie container a breeze with every use. I also use this to clean surfaces around my house like shower and toilet when doing a deep clean. Once you figure out which temperature of water makes it soft/hard, it really blows your mind what a good product it is.

    Would love to see the technology on other products like those with handles, attachments and other sizes.

  • As someone who dreads the thought of doing dishes, I never thought I'd actually enjoy using a sponge. But that was before I discovered the delightful Scrub Daddy. This seemingly simple sponge has revolutionized my kitchen cleaning experience, and I can't wait to share my thoughts with you. First things first, the design. Whoever came up with the idea of creating a sponge with a smiley face deserves a round of applause. Not only is it absolutely adorable, but the smiley face actually serves a practical purpose. The eyes are perfect for slipping your fingers in to get a better grip, and the mouth is great for cleaning spoons, knives, and other utensils. Now, let's talk about the actual scrubbing capabilities. The Scrub Daddy boasts a unique texture that changes with the water temperature. When you soak it in warm water, it becomes soft and pliable, perfect for cleaning delicate surfaces like glassware and non-stick pans. But when you run it under cold water, it becomes firm and abrasive, making it ideal for tackling stubborn, stuck-on food. I was initially skeptical about this feature, but after trying it out myself, I'm a true believer. The Scrub Daddy is able to handle just about any cleaning task I throw at it, and it's made my time spent washing dishes much more enjoyable. Another bonus is the sponge's durability. I've been using the same Scrub Daddy for a few weeks now, and it hasn't started to disintegrate or smell like other sponges I've used in the past. Plus, it's top-rack dishwasher safe, so you can easily sanitize it after heavy use. In conclusion, the Scrub Daddy is a fantastic little sponge that has made a big impact on my dishwashing routine. Its clever design, versatile scrubbing capabilities, and durability make it a must-have for any kitchen. I wholeheartedly recommend giving the Scrub Daddy a try, and I guarantee it will put a smile on your face while making dishwashing a breeze!

  • Just buy it. It’s worth to have as a household staple.

  • Scrub Daddy is the BEST. All other sponges feel and look gross so quickly. Scrub Daddy sponges are so much stiffer and I feel like they stay cleaner for much longer! It seems like they dry out much faster than a typical dish sponge, as well. They have definitely leveled-up the dish washing game in my house.

  • I don’t think I’ll ever use anything other than a scrub daddy. I love that when it’s ran under cold water, it’s firm & vice versa with warm water. I think it lasts the perfect amount of time as well. Once it starts getting out of shape & odd looking, I feel like it lines up with the time that I would normally switch out my sponge.

  • Okay so I really didn’t want to believe in the hype, but I will say the shape and size of the Scrub Mommy is ideal for a house of girls who prefer to hand wash dishes right away rather than load the dishwasher.

    Some Marriott hotel locations with kitchens/kitchenettes provide Scrub Daddy products to the rooms. I always stock up when I stay at a hotel that has them!

  • I’m glad there’s an option to review this so I can sing my praises about scrub daddy In the past few years it’s been the longest lasting kitchen sponge brand I’ve bought - all other sponges have disintegrated so quickly and this is a very durable sponge

    Feedback

    Love the packaging, love how playful it is, it’s as trusty as it is cute.

  • Awesome product to use on your dishes and pots and pans. It also rinses clean and doesn't smell. It's great that you can put it in the dishwasher too!

    Feedback

    All is great!

  • I recently bought my first scrub daddy and I was really shocked at how easy it made doing the dishes!

  • I love my scrub daddy! The eyes make perfect holders and u find that it’s easy ti manipulate to get into small areas

  • It's insane to think that sponges existed before the scrub daddy. No other sponge will ever compare...

  • Really awesome sponge, but definitely wears out over time. Which I guess is normal for a sponge! But these cost a bit more.

  • I’ve used this product since it premiered non shark tank. It’s awesome. Works exactly as described and lasts a long time. New items are. Sing releases from this company and those items are wonderful also!
