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.

  • The fact that these sponges don't smell makes them superior. Our family has converted several others, and we live by the scour daddy.

  • Best kitchen sponge out there. I don’t have to replace it nearly as often, and the shape and texture of the sponge really does help me clean faster.

  • It makes me smile when I see it in the kitchen and that alone is enough reason to give it a 5 star rating

  • Love these sponges. Since finding sponge daddy 5 years ago, I don't buy anything else. My kiddo and get friends love that it's a smiley face, too!

  • This is the only sponge option that saves the nonstick pans from the person in the house who doesn't cook. SAVE THE TEFLON, SAVE YOUR MARRIAGE.

  • I've loved using my scrub daddy I thought it was great quality and substantial for rigorous use. I would buy again :)

  • Scrub Daddy is a great upgrade from traditional sponges. It cleans dishes, sinks, tubs, stovetops, etc very well and does’t trap smells like sponges and brushes. They last fairly long (3 months or so of every day use) and I feel better knowing that I can sanitize the tool to prevent bacteria growth.

  • I really like the Scrub Daddy products for dish washing. It's only slightly abrasive so I don't have to worry about scratching up my pots. It gets super soft under hot water and firms up under cold water. I don't know about you but I don't wash dishes with cold water so that doesn't help at all when I need it to be firm. The scrub mommy on the other hand is a bit different since it has a softer spongey side and a rougher scrubber side. I like that one better.

  • Solid little scrubber! I resisted for a long time because I didn’t understand what made it better than a rough sponge. I can’t describe it but it works well on the crap that my sponge can’t get off.

  • I became aware of Scrub Daddy products from cleaning videos on TikTok and I'm a big fan now. The sponges have many thoughtful touches, such as holes for your fingers and the ability to become firmer in cold water and softer in warm water. Scrub Daddy and Scrub Mommy have been able to satisfy all of my cleaning needs except for getting at mildew.

  • Used at my family restaurant worked for a bit and it did work very well but breaks down quickly with excessive use in a restaurant kitchen

  • Scrub Daddy has been a game-changer in my cleaning routine. Its innovative design, with a soft and firm side, makes tackling various surfaces a breeze. The smiley face isn't just cute – it's functional! It's gentle on delicate items yet tough on grime. A must-have for anyone looking to simplify and elevate their cleaning arsenal.

  • Scrubdaddy!!! My tried and true! These little guys bring me so much joy (and I never thought I’d be saying that about a sponge 😂😂). They are so much more durable than those cheap yellow and green sponges and they really get the job done!

  • Like the packaging! The paste could work a little better.

  • I saw these on Shark Tank years ago and was pleasantly surprised to discover that they actually do live up to the hype. They’re great for scrubbing dishes without scratching, and are very effective at removing bits of food caked on to dishes. They’re easy to clean, I just toss them in the dishwasher when I run a cycle.

    Happy customer
  • Genuinely the best sponge on the market. Cuts through nasty food or grease build up; easy to clean, doesn’t retain moisture or smell.

  • I love how it cleans without ruining my cookware!

  • Hands down one of my favorite things to clean with! I really love the wands and the scrub daddy & mommy (the white one). Probably my favorite hack is keeping a scrub mommy wand in my shower for quick cleanings between deep ones. It really helps to keep it sparkling.
