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 held off buying one of these forever because I figured it was just a glorified sponge. YES, GLORIFIED SPONGE THAT YOU NEED!!! I scrubbed my entire kitchen and it is literally sparkling now. I need to try the cleaner with it now because this with my generic cleaners changed my life!

  • I never thought I’d be this excited about a sponge, but Scrub Daddy is truly next-level. It’s not just a cute face—it’s incredibly effective! The texture-changing design is genius: firm in cold water for tough scrubbing, and soft in warm water for gentler cleaning. It powers through stuck-on messes without scratching anything, even my nonstick pans and glass stovetop. What I love most is how long it lasts. Unlike regular sponges that get gross after a few uses, Scrub Daddy stays fresh, rinses clean easily, and doesn’t hold onto odors. Plus, the smiley face isn’t just fun—it’s functional! I use the eyes for grip and the mouth to clean utensils.

  • The best sponge around. This company as a whole makes great products. I wouldn’t even consider using something else. The temperature of the water stiffens or softens the sponge which is my favorite part.

  • This is the only thing I can use to truly get all of my dirty dishes clean. From spaghetti stained Tupperware to baking pans where I have burnt French fries, it does it all!! It’s so easy to clean off and re-use and I love that I can find different colors and styles of it too.

  • Wow I can so see the hype this scrubber is my favorite thing in the kitchen! It’s hard if you need it to be and soft if you add warm water. The shape does not move and it is super easy to clean! Everyone needs this in the kitchen!!

  • Bought two sets of this (for my kitchen and bathroom) the kitchen scrub is actually such a RELIEF! I don’t usually do dishes every week but I do them now every 2-3 days! Because I know it’ll be easy - they get dirty - they go in the dishwasher no problems! No fraying, falling apart scrubby! 10/10

  • While the OG is a scrub daddy, I am a diehard scrub mommy fan. It makes cleaning my bathroom and kitchen so much easier and reduces the amount of elbow grease I have to put into scrubbing off tougher areas. I hope to soon get their new dusting tool and the scrub daddy line will be something I use for as long as it’s around.

  • Love my scrub daddy and scrub mommy I’ve also purchased the holiday ones. Halloween ones are my favorite! They last long and are good quality

  • Didn't get the hype until my mom gifted me a pack when I moved recently. Loved the cute designs and, even more, how effective they were when it came to cleaning dishes. Cold water keeps them stiff and warm water gets them to loosen up a bit. I've seen some people confused how this makes sense, but, I'm just saying, who washes their dishes with cold water? I've never had an issue with this. Plus the mouth slot is great for utensils and the eyes are even good for straws. Now when I go to the store, I specifically look for these when I'm out buying a new one. The original Scrub Daddy is nice, but, if you can find them, I'd say opt for the Scrub Mommy or Sponge Daddy more than the traditional one. These have two different sides - much like a traditional sponge. PLUS they have a ton of different themed shapes like Christmas, Halloween, and cats or dogs for our pet lovers.

  • Absolutely love Scrub Daddy's! When wet they have the perfect amount of abrasiveness to clean dirty dishes but is still gentle. We got introduced to the Scrub Daddy when using it at a friend's and loved it! We bought them as stocking staffers for our family and they gave us great compliments for the gift.

    Make sure you keep your Scrub Daddy in a dry place to make it last longer.

  • The Scrub Mommy Sponge is the ultimate sponge for anything you would ever need to clean. It’s versatile since water temperature changes the hardness of the sponge, and you can use accessories from the brand. Not only is it a smiling sponged, but it’s a well-performing one too!

  • I didn't understand the hype around Scrub Daddy. But I caved and bought a dye free Scrub Mommy from my local Whole Foods. I totally get it now! This dual sided sponge is a thing of beauty. The scrubby side is TOUGH and eliminates all hard to remove grime and the soft side is lovely and cleans delicates surfaces. I burn EVERYTHING I cook, (I know, something I need to work on) but you would never know about my cooking woes looking out our pans- all thanks to Scrub Daddy/Mommy!

    Nothing - Perfect

  • The scrub daddy are one of my favorite cleaning products. I especially love the different scrub levels. All of which remove dirt but are gentle on surfaces. My favorite one is the half sponge half scrub. They’re great for all my cleaning needs.

  • Scrub daddy sponges are great, they really work well on all types of dishes. When you run warm water over the cute smile face sponge, it softens and is a lot more flexible- making it less abrasive and easier to get into smaller spaces. Two cool features are that you can poke your fingers into the eyes of the sponge and it gives the perfect grip for cleaning glasses; the mouth part makes cleaning silverware super easy and best of all it doesn't get a must smell as some sponges do. My only gripe about it is the price, it's more than most sponges cost. I find that it does last longer and the cost is worth it.

  • Does a great job at getting the dirt annd grime out of the tough places without scratching the surface and without losing its shape. It lasts for awhile before it starts falling apart so you get good bang for your buck with this.

  • I love this brand of products. The sponge lasts long. It is duo sided. It cleans messes up fantastically and it washes in the dishwasher

  • I absolutely love my Scrub Daddy! It’s hands down the best sponge I’ve ever used. The flexible material changes texture depending on the water temperature. It is soft in warm water for gentle scrubbing, and firm in cold water for tough, stuck-on messes. It makes cleaning so much easier!

  • Love the scrub daddy, scrub mommy, scrub baby, eraser daddy & other variations of the scrub daddy family. Their products last longer than normal sponges, do amazing things in hot/cold water and really clean effectively! I use these products everywhere! For walls- the shower, kitchens, bathrooms & more!

  • I was apprehensive about scrub daddy at first and now it’s the only sponge i’ll ever use! It gets rid of the gunk so easily, and I love the holiday shapes (the halloween frankenstein one is my favorite)

  • Scrub Daddy is a great household cleaning brand. I'm not sure if many people have explored the remarkably in-depth collection of products that kind be found in the Scrub Daddy website, www.scrubdaddy.com. Not only can you find the complete list of retailers that carry Scrub Daddy products (I've included the list in my uploaded photos), but you can also shop directly on the site and have the items shipped to your home. Shipping isn't free, but it's not bad, and there are plenty of reasons to pick up your items on their website. Firstly, there's a ton of merchandise that is exclusive to the site. You won't find a good portion of their products at one of the retailers that sell Scrub Daddy, such as the super cute assortment of gifts and collectables, like T-Shirts, Masks, Halloween Costumes, a Baby Bib, Coffee Mug, and more. In the video I posted, you'll see all of the available products on their online store. There is an FAQ section about the Brand and their products, which I learned a lot from, including information about their Recycling program. You can join for free, make an account, and all of the products you purchase can be shipped back to the retailer. They are 100% sustainable products. Also, the brand caught their big break from the show, Shark Tank. They were offered a deal from Lori after presenting their product and ideas for the brand. I had no idea! You'll also get to read customer reviews, an "About Us" section links to their social media, an online form to contact the brand directly, a blog with helpful, insightful, unique ideas and inspiration, as well informative pictures and videos that were created by the Brand to help shoppers see their products being used up close and personal. I think the brand would greatly benefit from user generated content on their website by allowing verified customers to add videos and photos to their ratings and reviews of the products. I also think a loyalty program would be a great way to help shoppers save money, and guarantee that their customers come back for more! I've used Scrub Daddy and Scrub Mommy, and I love them both. Hiwever, I definitely plan to broaden my relationship with the brand by trying out more of their merchandise.
