  • 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.

  • My fam and I love scrub daddy. They last a long time and get any stains off our dishes!

  • This little guy works great for scrubbing dishes as well as general, overall cleaning around the house. Unlike some other sponges, this one never gets smelly or slimy. Just a quick rinse is all that's needed to keep it fresh.

    Feedback

    I'm glad they're available in different colors. We have several in our house--different colors for different rooms and uses.

  • I love the cute smiley face design and useful holes for dish washing, but I don’t know if it’s worth the extra expensive over store brand sponges. I found it falls apart and leaves yellow chunks of sponge all over your dishes, which is an issue I don’t usually have with other sponges.

  • Really cool that it changes hardness and softness depending on the water.

    Feedback

    The 'mouth part' of the scrub daddy is a bit thin at the ends which makes it vulnerable to tearing. After a while it looses a lot of yellow fibres and you know you need a new one.

  • Ingenious product that our house can't live without! Love the seasonal themes you do as well - we have the halloween ghost as well as the original Scrub Daddy.

  • This was an impulse buy but was pleasantly surprised when it arrived and I experienced how great a job it does.

    Feedback

    Give it a try. It lasts a long time and works well.

  • I am brand loyal to scrub daddy. it's just an objectively better sponge! and it's cute! i even have the scrub daddy sponge caddy!

    Feedback

    I have zero feedback. Scrub daddy loyalist.

  • It's definitely studier than a normal sponge and I really like using it, but I bought it for the sustainability aspect of it and I don't think it's fully worth on that aspect alone. But a solid product.

  • Love love love this scrubby thing. Works wonderfully. Only wish it lasted a little longer.

    Love love love this scrubby thing. Works wonderfully. Only wish it lasted a little longer.

  • i've been using these for years. they hold up extremely well for the price, the material's wet/cold functionality is innovative, and you can throw them in the dishwasher, too.

  • I buy it for gift for my mom and she is obsessed this is the only brand sponge that we have home after I gift it the first one

  • The best product to come from sharktank! I never knew a sponge could make me so happy.

  • This is the best of the best when it comes to sponges. I cannot live without another brand of sponge, after trying Sponge Daddy. I particularly like the sponge mommy, since it has a combination of a sponge and scrubber. I also really like the brand behind the sponge. They posted funny TikTok’s to relate to Gen Z and the name itself is iconic — sponge DADDY. Whenever I need a new one, I say “Alexa, add daddy to grocery list” and I feel like a boss ass bitch saying that lmao

  • I read about Scrub Daddy in Bon Appetit and the way they raved about them I just had to give it a go. Usually I wouldn't have something so ugly on my kitchen countertop but this thing is great! It is so well designed and thought through - the spoon slot and the finger holes, the hard texture that turns soft in hot water - GENIUS! I despise sponge smells so I don't usually have sponges or if I do I have eco sponges and don't keep them very long but the Scrub Daddy doesn't keep smells and lasts forever. It's magic. Truly, a sponge worth raving about!

  • Sponge smell is the bane of my existence and Scrub Daddy products never get funky.

  • Scrub daddy is my go to cleaning tool! I love using this scrubber because i's cheap and also gets tyhe stubborn stains everywhere!

  • I own the ‘eco’ Scrub Mama sponge. Love this brand, love the product!

    Feedback

    It works much better than most other mainstream sponge brands, the scrubby side of the Scrub Mama is fantastic and doesn’t ware down as quickly as competitors.

  • The only dish scrubber to own IMO — I dunno how they do it, but unlike other sponges, the scrub daddy does not start to stink after a few uses. Because of that it is my go to!
