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.

  • The technology is so cool. This is such an effective sponge, it hardens in cold water and softens in hot.

  • Scrub Daddy does deliver on its value of being a higher quality sponge and definitely lasts longer than the average sponge. Product extensions are also quite great!

    Feedback

    Wish the hard side was a little more firm because oftentimes, I still need to use a steel wool scrubber to get out food bits.

  • I was hesitant to try something else that's not the tried and true blue scrubber sponge, but... It's scrub daddy actually works well! It's soft when warm and stuff when cold and is really easy to use to scrub pans. It is kinda hard to scrub edges, like folding the sponge over to clamp and scrub. Would I replace all my sponges with this though? Hard to say...

    Feedback

    If it was easier to fold over the sponge, it would be a 100% replacing all other sponges for me.

  • Simple- gets the job done. Plus it’s a cute little face to look at while you do the dishes. It doesn’t fall apart/ look old sponges normally do after a while.

    Feedback

    If the sponge could stay hard with warm water the way it does with cold water, that would be great!

  • Great sponge! You can throw it in the dishwasher cycle to clean which I appreciate.

    Feedback

    I wish it came in a firmer version for caked on foods. You need to use a LOT of elbow grease.

  • I am OBSESSED with Scrub Daddy - their products and marketing are amazing. I will never not buy from them. I also love how long the scrub daddy lasts and cleans EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING

  • Scrub Daddy has great products for cleaning dishes! The material is absorbent and malleable without being too rough on hands or dishes. I would particularly recommend the Scrub Mommy which has a softer, more typical sponge side, and a scrubbier side. I got one for my mom as a stocking stuffer on Christmas and she raves about it too.

  • The best thing to come out of Shark Tank. They're fun, quality, and fairly priced!

  • LOVE! This is the only sponge I use at home. It cleans my dishes so well.

  • Scrub Daddy is one of my go-too cleaning tools. Cleans and scrubs great without damaging pots/pans, my ceramic sink or shower!

    Feedback

    I wish particles of food were easier to get out of the sponge.

  • THE BEST !!! SPONGE. I love Scrub Daddy and all of their products. They genuinely make their sponges so durable and accessible to consumers. I stopped using regular sponges and switched to these for cleaning everything. I enjoy that the hardness can be altered by switching from cold to hot water, I just feel that they really filled a need in the market and keep up with consumer needs. Highly recommend!

  • I have multiple scrub daddys and use them all the time! They work great!

  • A little over hyped in my opinion. It can be a good dual-use sponge, but it can never beat a sponge + steel wool for me. It kind of forces you into putting your fingers in the holes, and that is not how I would like to clean my dishes. Additionally, I don't find it easy to use over long periods of time, and is infidelity a supplement to a dishwasher as opposed to a daily driver for those who have to do all of their dishes by hand. That being said, it is not a bad purchase, just not the best option for cleaning dishes.

  • I didn't know that I could love a sponge brand?? I love their story and how they have grown so much over recent years. We LOVE the Scrub Daddy in my house and have gotten many of the past two years. By far the best sponge I've ever used.

  • While the scrub daddy is nice, I feel like it does use significantly more dish soap to get sudsy than your regular kitchen sponge

  • Truly the best sponges. So much sturdier and more effective than standard sponges. They also don't get stinky like sponges and I put them in the dishwasher a time or two before throwing them away.
