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.

  • 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!

    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!

  • my only sponge now. Love that it changes firmness and purpose with temperature. The Smokey face makes great gripping

  • How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. This product is honestly my heavy duty cleaning product in almost every room in my apartment. Not only is it effective, but once it dries down, it's as hard as a rock and you can throw it under the sink without a worry about a mildewy smelling sponge situation.

  • I first saw this brand on shark tank hahah but surprisingly works really well! It's so neat that if you need a harder scrubber you can just change the water temp! Super nice for dishes - but note that they don't last very long because they can get gross quick.

    They also made these adorable halloween versions which were like.... so cute? they fooled me immediately into buying them despite not needing more

  • These things will clean the grime from your pans and the sin from your soul. Get the whole Scrub fam for ultimate inclusivity.

  • Adore these. They work SO well and outperform other sponges in every way.

  • I use to use a steel sponge for certain cleaning and I feel that the scrub daddy works almost as well without scratching or damaging any of my surfaces. So I would recommend giving it a try .

  • I love these sponges, I prefer the sponge mommy (which has one side that is like a normal sponge). They hold up well even after tough cleans and are great for any cleaning project.

    I use these in every room of my home, love this product.

  • All of the scrub products are everything they are hyped to be. I love knowing who runs the company and what I’m getting every time.

  • All I can say is 1000% worth the hype, I will never be using regular sponges again.

  • It feels weird to like a sponge this much and yet here I am. The fact that it can be either firm or soft depending on the water temp is super cool. Cleans extremely well and looks cute doing it. I love that they have different shapes and themes for holidays etc.

    I do wish there was an option for a "wand" of sorts - occasionally they have this available but it sells out super quick. I don't love having to touch the actual surface of the sponge so this would get rid of that ick.

  • I purchased this because I saw the brand on Tik Tok and they had such a funny presence. I bought it not thinking you could revolutionize a sponge, but man oh man I can’t go back to regular sponges now! It’s the right firmness to wash your dishes with and lasts longer than other sponges (doesn’t disintegrate and doesn’t smell as quickly)

  • Such a good product! Makes cleaning super easy! Best kitchen find ever.

    Feedback

    wish it didnt rip so fast after a few uses.

  • Love these sponges! These are the only ones I buy now. They come in so manny different variety’s and get the job done. They also don’t scratch delicate dish ware and cook ware. Plies they have a recycling program and you get more scrub daddies at a discount.

    Feedback

    Make accessories for bathroom cleaning.

  • Absolutely the best sponge on the market. Using other sponges now just reminds me of how good the Scrub Daddy products are.
