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 mean what's there to say that hasn't already been said? This sponge is very legit. I prefer the dye-free version, but anything in the scrub daddy category has my stamp of approval.

    Feedback

    More neutral color options.

  • Love this sponge. When it's harder under cold water its great for scrubbing and softer with hot water fits in cups etc.

  • Love the technology behind the firmness of the sponge. Good alternative to a steel scrubber but not as good for stainless steel messes.

    Product for stainless steel cookware cleaning

  • I, too, like you probably swam in the Shark Tank with this one. First red flag should have been Lori as the investor considering a lot of what she peddles is junk on there, but you never know, and it could have been a winner. I bought one for my home and one for my business. Both were total junk. They are definitely not up to snuff for business use and barely home use. They don't clean effectively and wear away quickly. Even on dishes that didn't have stuck on grime, it didn't clean and I ended up having to go back to my standard blue/green sponges to get the dishes clean. The one at my business actually broke up into pieces within two weeks of use. Cute sponge. Terrible execution.

    Everything. I don't find it an efficient nor effective cleaning tool.

  • Scrub Daddy kills it! I remembered seeing it on shark tank. I have pretty much all of their products now. I love that you can put it in the dishwasher and it stays santitized. BIG FAN!

  • I will ONLY use ScrubDaddy now. The sponges last forever and can be easily thrown in the dishwasher for a freshen up. 10/10 recommend.

  • These are my favorite sponges! They last a looong time and can be thrown in the dishwasher. Plus the smiley face just makes using them more fun!

  • How did I go so many years without trying this?! Love my scrub daddy. Works for cleaning everything and never scratches

    Make other fun colors!

  • Probably the best sponge on the market. From Scrub Daddy to Mommy and everything in between, love these products!

    Haven't found a way to easily wash out small particles of food that get stuck in the sponge material... feel like that's a universal sponge problem, though.

  • LITERALLY. THE ONLY SPONGE YOU NEED TO BE USING. genuinely changed the way i feel about dishes. It actually feels clean once using it, and leaves the dishes even cleaner. gets hard to reach stains and is made of the perfect material to keep from getting mildewy.

  • I don't understand the hype. It is the most uncomfortable sponge for me to do dishes with. I will use any sponge except this one. Giving it two stars cause its so damn cute.

  • I used the scrub daddy for cleaning my dishes and to clean my kitchen sink. I found it to be a high-quality scrub and was happy with how my sink looked after cleaning it using the scrub daddy. I look forward to trying their other products.

  • So glad I was finally persuaded by Shark Tank and finally switched to these -- best sponges for heavy duty cleaning.

  • I use the Scrub Daddy. I like the different variations and I think the sponges work very well. I like that there is a sponge with a dye free option as well!

    I wish that these lasted a bit longer. I feel like I have to replace them relatively frequently.
