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.

  • Absolutely love these products! Work really well and cute so makes cleaning more fun.

  • This is one brand I’m very passionate about. The sponge lasts forever and get out grime better than anyone else. Additionally, I love that you can recycle the sponges with the company for incentives.

  • The only scrubber we will ever use in our house of 5 that's with 3 kiddos lol! These scrub pads are amazing especially for the tough stuck on messes because some people leave food on dishes when they are in a hurry!! Stay at home mom life- scrubdaddies make a small part of my life, just a tiny bit easier! Thank you

  • These are super durable. I think I’ve had mine for the last 3 months and I usually use it to clean my sink. I also like the paste that it came with. The smell is not bad and super chemical-y.

  • I use these for EVERYTHING and have converted most family members! They last forever are adorable, and super effective!

  • The Scrub Daddy is the elite sponge for cleaning. It is affordable, durable, and has a cute design! I use it all the time and swear it is the best sponge!

  • They do a good job but aren't my go-to sponge. They are good for scrubbing food off gentle surfaces (non-stick, ceramic, etc.).

  • Have you been sleeping on the scrub daddy gurl? Especially the scrub mommy though!! I’m one who doesn’t like to stick to the trends, it got popular and I didn’t pat an eyelash but when the hype was down I got to thinking and lemme tell you, it’s amazing! Gets all the nooks and cranny’s. I can’t believe I didn’t get it sooner!

  • Had to scrub the walls and used this alongside their tangerine paste I believe. It worked really well! A lot better than a melamine sponge alone. Also glad to report that my walls were not damaged in the process. It also withstands quite a bit and can even get in between the narrow rails of your shower door while still being quite abrasive. I would definitely consider getting another one for cleaning pots and pans.

  • They're good sponges, but they don't last as long as I feel like they're marketed as.

  • Really durable sponge. I own one and I haven't had to replace it due to wear and tear as quickly as other sponge brands. I like that you can used different sides for different abrasiveness.

  • Not only are these so cute to have at the sink but these are actually amazing at washing dishes and getting off grime! I'm new to cooking and burn everything on my new stainless steel pans (if you know, you know) and these sponges get off every last bit!

  • Best sponges ever

  • Best sponge hands down. I have been using the scrub daddy for years and i will always remain loyal to the brand. By far the best sponge: optimal thickness, appreciate that you can control the firmness with water temperature, does not fall apart over time. I have used and liked many scrub daddy products

  • Scrub Daddy is a pretty decent brand and company. It was be nicer if they had a better environmental impact and also lasted a bit long. My scrub mommy was shedding relatively quick. I also did appreciate the fact that I was able to wash it in the dishwasher. This makes reusing the sponge more functional.

  • I tried scrubby daddy many years ago when it first came out, but then never bought a replacement as they used to be more costly. About a year ago I finally caved and bought another one as the scrubby mommy and wow I forgot what I was missing, plus they’ve gotten a bit more cost effective! These are so incredible for washing dishes without being too abrasive on more sensitive cookware, and hold up really well! I also converted my husband to these and he is always raving about the scrubby mommy!

  • Who knew a sponge could make such a difference in my day to day but I am here to say that this one does! It makes doing dishes so much less of a mental load and it stays so much nicer than traditional crusty, dusty sponges.
