  • 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 find the sponge to be a joy to use. It holds up longer than the average plastic sponge and it's so much faster to wash dishes AND utensils. I know you are meant to hold it by the "eyes" but I also like to use that spot to clean thoroughly chopsticks fast.

    Feedback

    I wish there was a more eco friendly alternative to the Scrub Daddy. I try to avoid plastic where I can and using this sometimes makes me feel guilty.

  • Amazing quality, durable, long lasting, and affordable. Couldn’t ask for more!

  • Their Scrub Daddy sponge lasts forever! It looks good as new and doesn't disintegrate. I will nuke it in the microwave once a week to get rid of the accumulated germs and it is great for a while. Will never get another brand of sponge again. 13/10

  • I got one of these at a wedding years ago and was baffled why a sponge was in a wedding party swag bag. Turns out it is because they are pretty great. Very effective at removing tough gunk but not harsh enough to scratch surfaces. Not out of this world by current standards but a solid sponge I’ll pick up if I see it on sale.

    Feedback

    The crevices tend to attract nasty stuff into them while you scrub but make it hard to get the sponge super clean looking when you are rinsing it out. Yuck

  • Been using these for years. Great product, the shape is really functional and I like that they've released all different kinds of sponges now. The PowerPaste is a gamechanger. Planning on trying to recycle with them soon.

    Feedback

    The fact that the sponges get softer in hot water is a weird choice, considering hot water is normally used for tougher cleanups.

  • Worth the hype—such a wide variety of cleaning products that most definitely will fit any cleaning/scrubbing need you have.

  • 10/10! This is the only sponge I’ll ever use in my household. It removes everything includes limescale, from dishwashing to bathroom cleaning.

  • I've bought their summer themed sponges and I love them so much! I love how they theme their sponges. Though, their packaging was a bit weird. When I got it, it was falling apart and opened. My things were still inside, so I don't mind.

  • This thing works so well. Really scrubs!

    Feedback

    Wish it was more eco-friendly. Does it biodegrade? How do I responsibly dispose of it?

  • Incredible for the first while- love the soft/hard functionality.

    Feedback

    Starts to deteriorate after running through the dishwasher, even though it says dishwasher safe.

  • I was a long holdout, but I love my Scrub Daddy so, so much! The mouth for silverware always blows dinner guests away. And I love that it can get firm with cold water or soft with hot water.

  • I really love these sponges. I've used the Scrub Daddy and the Mommy version as well. One side is regular sponge material and the other is a very unusual scrubby material that is stiff when dry and softens a bit when wet. According to the description, the eye and mouth holes can be used to clean things like spoons and handles, but to be honest I never bother with that.

    Feedback

    As much as I love the innovative scrubby material, sometimes it's inconvenient to have to wet it and wait for it to soften before using.

  • Have used Scrub Daddy for years. Really like how it gets softer in hot water and stays rigid in cold water. I also like the size of the sponge and how it's a little larger than your typical sponge.

    Feedback

    I find the sponge can hold onto grime and change color, which looks a little icky on the counter. I find myself replacing it pretty frequently.

  • Whoa, BABY! This is a game changer for all those clean-freaks like me out there. I can't even put it into words, it's just incredible. I didn't believe the hype until a family member recommended, picked one up on my most recent Target run and I will never use anything but a Scrub Daddy.

    Feedback

    Just wanna try the Scrub Mommy!

  • I purchased the power paste bundle to clean my shower in a last ditch effort to get rid of soap scum. I am very pleased with the product in how easy it was to apply and how quickly it worked! I used the firm side on the walls and tub and the soft side on the metal fixtures with no scratching! I really appreciate that you can throw the scrub daddy in the dishwasher to clean it afterwards!

  • Scrub Daddy cleaning product (sponge) does work well, but it is way over hyped and not worth what it costs to buy; I usually wait for it to be in the dollar stores before purchasing. I do not like that it was a Shark Tank product either as those people just jack up the prices of any item.

  • The best sponge!! I have been a loyal Scrub Daddy user for years now. The sponges are effective but they don’t scratch things. I love all their kinds of sponges and have used multiple products from Scrub Daddy and like them all.

  • Great value and brightens up the dull process of washing dishes. What’s not to love!
