Scrub Daddy earns glowing reviews for making cleaning faster and more effective—its FlexTexture sponges cut through baked‑on grime without scratching, resist odors, and last longer than typical sponges—while some reviews note durability can wane (shedding, tearing, softening) and the hot/cold firmness can be inconvenient for those who wash in hot water. Reviews also praise the versatile lineup (Scrub Mommy, Dish Daddy, Power Paste, Damp Duster) and the utensil‑friendly smile design, but mention bulkiness, food trapping, and sustainability concerns as recurring drawbacks.

  • 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.

  • My husband and I used the Scrub Mommy and I really liked the Scrub Daddy side. We would use that side most often. However after a month it started to separate. The soft foam side was pretty durable, and the scrub daddy side lasted a while. Sometimes the scrub daddy. side would shed, but all in all I think this product scrubs off a lot of the crusty bits. Just -1 star for how long it lasts.

  • I love the versatility of the dual sided sponges. The harder and rougher side is very good and getting off stuck on food. I find that they last longer than regular sponges too.

  • Live, laugh, love this brand. I usually don't like touching a wet dish sponge, but this sponge feels sturdy and dry when I'm doing dishes.

  • I always repurchase scrub daddy! They last so long and are so versatile. I also like how you can wash them in the dishwasher without them getting gross

  • Cute and love to use for cleaning certain things but the scratchy side is a little toooo scratchy. Damages surfaces if you’re not careful. Doesn’t change my life but I do enjoy using them.

  • I run a small business that has public showers. That means that we are cleaning the tiles constantly. The Scrub Daddy lasts a lot longer than the sponges that we were using and they do a great job. They also don't break down the same way looking raggedy and gross like our old sponges did.

  • It doesn't scratch my surfaces and makes cleaning very easy! I have no complaints!

  • Durable and can get stubborn grime off of pots and pans. The only sponges I’ll use.

  • THE best cleaner. Really helps you scrub down anything and everything. I use this in my kitchen and bathroom for deep cleans and it works really well.

  • What a game changing sponge! I do wish it didn’t break down into microplastics though. It’s the best sponge I’ve ever used.

  • This is the only sponge I’ll use. It gets all the gunk off of all of my plates, pots, pans, you name it, without causing damage to my items.

  • Ok scrub daddy? Amazing brand BUTTTT it’s all about the Scrub Mommy. I use them both every day in my home but the mommy brings a little more versatility to the mix with two different textured sides. These are the only sponges we use in my house as they don’t ever emit odors or get filthy. Game changer.

  • I have tried almost all products. I love that they are antibacterial/

  • Very long-lasting and versatile sponge that brings me joy every time I use the sink!
