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.

  • 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.

    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.

    Just wanna try the Scrub Mommy!

  • Amazing product! Truly the best sponge I’ve ever laid my hands on in the kitchen. Stays clean for much longer than you typical sponge, and feels much stronger as well. Doesn’t carry an awful dish soap smell as well. Can use on all cooking wear which makes it very well rounded.

  • I don’t really see the appeal. The shape is awkward and it just isn’t abrasive enough for tough grease. I do like how quickly it dries, and I suppose it looks appealing on or beside my sink, but that’s about it.

  • I love that sponge. It cleans every surface, and it looks nice on your sink. We will use it again, as its nice-looking design also encourages the kids to clean.

  • 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!

  • Scrub daddy’s are the best. I use to by Brillo pads now I have a scrubber on one side and a soft sponge on the other side. They are also cute and use can use the eye holes to hold the scrubber when you are using it lol

  • All the tt videos I watched of using this sponge scrubber had me looking for one to use. Finally got one and they do not disappoint so much so I went back and got more for each of my rooms that need good scrubbing. It's a house staple now.

  • For years I have judged Scrub Daddy and sang “No Scrubs” when I saw them in the store, but things have changed. I am now only pro scrub (daddy). It is immaculate for cleaning up my many messes. I’m so pleased with my Scrub Daddies. I get all of seasonal ones.

  • Scrub daddy truly deserves all of its praise. If you have not gotten one it needs to be in your cleaning kit. It’s just the most useful tool all around the house and it is such a great purchase! Also can’t go wrong with fun colors and shapes!

  • If you are looking for a new sponge, this is it! scrub daddy is amazing! The sponge does not hold moisture after use like traditional sponges so it’s hard for bacteria to grow on it. It also foams up with so much less soap than other sponges. The company has so many innovative products to go along with their sponges!

  • I finally gave in and tried the Scrub Mommy after countless people told me how great it was. I mad I waited so long to try it! Its double sides like most sponges for convenient cleaning. I Like using the rough side dry when there is a stuck-on spot on the counter tops or wherever! It dries fast and can also go in the dishwasher. I opened a 6 pack of Scrub Mommy almost 2 months ago and I'm still using the same one. It holds soap like a charm and it doesn't stink like a traditional sponges do after being used a while. I'll never buy any other sponge again!

  • i’ve used the scrub mommy and daddy before and have had tribes with each so i thought the dish daddy would be the best of both worlds but i hated the way the hard foam part disintegrated over time and weirdly left bits in the sink and maybe i just should have got rid of it sooner but idk. i did love that it seemed to not really hold smells but i love to wash dishes with hot water and the fact that it doesn’t stay rigid with hot water is pretty annoying. def not the worst sponge i’ve ever used but have moved on

  • Loved this sponge when I was using it, and love that there's a dye-free option. Unfortunately at the price point it just didn't work for my family anymore, but these sponges are super hearty and definitely last a long time!

  • personally purchased; used consistently for 5+ years I don't think that I can return to any other cleaning sponge/abrasion system after the use i have gotten from my scrub family pack sponges. While I do not use these for anything that's been heavily burnt/stained on, I use them for virtually everything else in my indian-cuisine kitchen and all my bathroom area messes. I highly, highly recommend.

  • SCRUB DADDY IS SUPERIOR. It’s absolutely the best scrubbing sponge on the market. I can’t say any better thing about it because it truly has made my life easier.

  • Love love love these sponges.. last a super long time.. I just pop it in the dishwasher every other day to sanitize it
