  • Scratch-free scrubbing performance
  • Odor-resistant, hygienic sponge

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 never use any other type of sponge. This sponge scrubs off all leftover food and stubborn stains on dishware. Love that it comes in different colors!

  • I do like the scrub daddy, but I personally don’t understand the hype. Maybe I’m using them wrong, but I like to wash my dishes in hot water so the sponge becomes too soft to scrub anything and I’m switching back to cold just to try to get the sponge rough again.

  • Hooked from the day I saw it on Shark Tank. Worked amazingly well. Would saying Miracle product be too much?

  • Does what it's supposed to! And makes washing dishes a bit more fun.

  • If you want to get something off your kitchen counter - this is it!! The original and the scrub mommy are both game changers. Highly recommend.

  • I love my Scrub Daddy. It's durable and doesn't hold crumbs or leftover food particles. Appreciate that it has different sides with separate functions comes in handy. It's non-abrasive. And it's fun.

  • Work really well, wish they were cuter. Pro tip - if you’re not a fan of the bold primary color look, they sell an exclusive grey version at Crate and Barrel

    Personally, the aesthetic is a little more kitsch than I lean toward. But the product works well, lasts awhile, and refreshes like new with a round in the dishwasher.

  • I can't stop buying these! I use them for everything. Who would've thought that a sponge could be versatile?

    Feedback

    It could also be that I haven't done the legwork, but I'm looking forward to seeing or trying different sizes or configurations of the sponge.

  • Works great and makes me happy whilst cleaning the dishes but like some of the other reviews on here - it is just a sponge!

  • Okay yes it's a sponge, but it's a really good one. It's long-lasting, gets all those hard-to-get bits and I really underestimated the power of having the finger-holder-eye-holes. Recommend!

  • My favorite sponge to use. Not only does it bring a little smile to my face, it's actually a pretty darn good scrubber.

    Feedback

    I wish they lasted longer.

  • Works well enough but don't get the hype. No better than any other sponge. Also hate the packaging.

    Feedback

    Branding and texture.

  • my favorites sponge! so cute and so fun as well but this last a lifetime at feels like. def worth a rebuy. I wouldn't buy another brand sponge again to be honest.

  • The scrub daddy brand is a staple in my kitchen and cleaning caddy. No sponge compares, and these have saved my bacon without a dishwasher. They also make great stocking stuffers! The smile makes doing the dishes or scrubbing the toilet just a bit more pleasant (with different sponges of course!!)

  • Amazing product and brand, the sponge becomes malleable when working with it allowing you to get in all those difficult nooks to clean, yet the scour will remove any residue! No matter the job simply wash and repeat the sponge is reusable!

  • Scrub daddy is hands down the best sponge I have ever tried. I don't buy other sponges anymore and recommend to everyone.

  • Traditional sponges give me the ick. Scrub Daddy products get dishes cleaner and feel cleaner in your hands! The science of the hot cold firmness is awesome!
